History Anime / NobunagaTheFool

Long ago, there were two planets, now known as the Western Planet and the Eastern Planet, bound by the "Dragon Pulse" spanning the heavens.

Though the civilization on the planets had once prospered, it soon was torn asunder by the inextinguishable flames of war, as endless battle engulfed both sides.

However, there exists "sacred treasures", forgotten super technology that could revolutionize the world order. Sadly no one knew of them...nobody, that is, except for a certain "heretical girl."

[[JoanOfArc Jeanne]] [[MultiethnicName Kaguya]] [[JeanneDArchetype d'Arc]], a girl originating from the Western Planet, bore witness to visions of a "Star Messiah," who would be the one save the worlds. Together with LeonardoDaVinci, a man claimed to be "the one who observes the world", Jeanne embarks on a quest to the Eastern Planet. It isn't long before the two come across an Eastern heretic known as "the Greatest Fool of the Day": UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga.
