— The man who terrified the three Great Unifiers — [WHO MADE NOBUNAGA ODA’S BODY VANISH?] Produced and written by a Japanese author, rooted in authentic Japanese history. Translated with the assistance of Gemini (AI). Sakamoto, a world-weary detective in his twilight years, spent his days casually watching historical documentaries on YouTube. With messy hair and an unzipped fly, he was the picture of a man disinterested in the modern world, lost in the mysteries of the past. But in a sudden flash of intuition, he strikes upon a chilling thought: "What if the very absence of evidence... is the evidence itself?" The flawless destruction of proof. The lightning-fast "Chugoku O-gaeshi" march. And above all—the vanished corpse of Nobunaga Oda. As Sakamoto digs deeper, the fragmented theories of the past—The Hideyoshi Theory, The Ieyasu Theory, The Shikoku Connection—begin to snap together like pieces of a lethal puzzle. All strings lead to a single, terrifying mastermind. A lone genius who manipulated the fate of a nation from the shadows. From the bumbling investigations of a modern-day detective comes the ultimate "New Interpretation" of the Honno-ji Incident. The curtain rises on a historical mystery 400 years in the making.
