"Sasuke Sarutobi" is an average college student at Kyoto University studying time slips as a hobby until the day he falls into a time slip himself, transporting him to the Sengoku Period. Upon arrival, Sasuke encounters several warlords he could only ever dream of meeting: Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the famous "Demon King of the Sixth Heaven" Oda Nobunaga, who takes him in as a vassal. Introducing several modern concepts to the warlords varying from playing tennis to sending chain letters, Sasuke finds his place in an old but utterly new world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Episodes
1. Ikemen Smash
Sasuke is a college student and a history nerd who has made a hobby out of studying time slips. One day, he slips through one of these time slips and finds himself in the Sengoku Period, although it`s nothing like what he`s read about in the history books. He takes the name Sarutobi Sasuke and becomes a retainer of the infamous Oda Nobunaga. His first mission is to win the confidence of Nobunaga`s other famous retainers, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Source: crunchyroll
2. Ikemen: Secret Sketch
Hideyoshi wants to put a new piece of art on a lonely looking wall in the palace with Nobunaga as the obvious subject. He comes up with a plan to distract Nobunaga with the assistance of Sasuke, Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari. Ieyasu and Mitsunari are supposed to do the distracting while Hideyoshi does the drawing, but nothing quite goes as planned. Source: crunchyroll
3. Ikemen Hey Man
At one of the regular meetings of the warlords, Date Masamune appears and wants Sasuke to teach him something new for an upcoming poetry competition. Sasuke teaches Masamune and being a quick study the warlord takes to it instantly. The other warlords are inspired and each try their hand at their own rapping style. Source: crunchyroll
4. Ikemen Junk Mail
As a spy for the Uesugi forces, Sasuke has been spying on the Oda Forces looking for a way to bring them down for his master. One of his suggestions is the idea of junk or spam mail, basically in an attempt to annoy Nobunaga and his men. The men write hundreds of letters and shoot them off, greatly underestimating the kind of men Nobunaga has in his service. Source: crunchyroll
5. Ikemen Attic
Uesugi Kenshin is not the only one seeking Nobunaga`s down fall. The monk, Kennyo, also seeks revenge on Nobunaga and, thanks to some help from Akechi Mitsuhide, manages to sneak into Azuchi Castle. Things seem to be going smoothly until the attic he has snuck into turns out to be much more heavily fortified than he was led to believe. Source: crunchyroll
6. Ikemen Are Furious
Frustrated and fed up with their lack of progress, Uesugi wants to storm Azuchi Castle. Sasuke manages to quell his fury and asks for time in order to negotiate with Nobunaga, leaving Yukimura as a hostage for Uesugi if he doesn`t return. Will Sasuke make it back in time to save his friend? Source: crunchyroll
7. Ikemen Beach
With things finally coming to a head, the Oda and Uesugi Forces come together at the beach for a final show down. Itching for a fight, Sasuke manages to convince the warlords to participate in a series of challenges to determine who will come out on top. Source: crunchyroll
8. Ikemen Party People
With both forces facing off in a series of three challenges on the beach, Oda and his men won the first challenge. The second challenge is a summer time tradition--watermelon splitting! But of course, nothing is traditional with these warlords. Source: crunchyroll
9. Ikemen Close Call!
The arrival of a mysterious, unexpected visitor has all the men on their toes when the stakes are raised. What was a simple series of friendly matches between rivals has now escalated into a life or death clash for the history books! Source: crunchyroll
10. Ikemen Thunder
With Mouri Motonari showing his true colors, Nobunaga, Kenshin, and Shingen temporarily call a truce to work together to take the pirate on. However, the storm that has suddenly rolled in is not any normal storm. Items of Sasuke`s seem to disappear with the suspicious lightning and Sasuke is forced to make a bold confession to his historical companions. Source: crunchyroll
11. Goodbye Ikemen
Sasuke has confessed to being from the future and explains how his whole adventure began. With time ticking away and the lightning flashing at his heels, Sasuke attempts to say goodbye to his companions. However, this may not really be goodbye... Source: crunchyroll
12. The Story Won't End By Crossing Through Time
The Sengoku warlords seem to have settled in to the fast pace life of the modern age, much to Sasuke`s chagrin. Not all is quite as it seems though as even despite skyrocketing to idol fame, the warlords from a past have had ulterior motives all along. With another storm rolling in, will Sasuke make it to their final concert in time to say goodbye for real this time? Source: crunchyroll
