Imagine a SteamPunk SpaceOpera version of the sixteenth century, complete with HumongousMecha, spaceships, revamped historical figures, and SchizoTech galore. Now throw in a prophecy involving a "Savior King" who is the only one who can pilot a special HumongousMecha. Now make that man an [[HistoricalBeautyUpdate incredibly attractive]] alternate version of UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga. That is ''Nobunaga The Fool,'' a stage play and anime created by ShojiKawamori of ''{{Macross}}'' fame. The anime, set to be animated by {{Satelight}}, is due to start in [[Winter2014Anime January of 2014]].

Then we meet the Joan of the "two stars" world, who has strange visions as well, but is taken seriously enough by some very powerful people to embark on a journey to the eastern star as her visions told her to.
