I dont know in Japanese cuisine, but catfish is a staple on Javanese (Indonesian) cuisine. You can see lot of immigrated Javanese open night stall specialized on catfish cuisine
This is the 3rd time Iruma got hurt physically by someone (first time by marbas spider, second time by 6 fingers spider demon). 3rd time by undercover cop who entrap him like a spider.
Iruma is bad with spider
I love this series but i wish the author dont machina it. I mean, remember we got cockblocked by phone twice?
Its okay for Iruma tobe a squeaky clean MC, i dont have problem with that. But, he doesnt need an impossible coincidence to squiggle his way out of conflict everytime, doesnt he?
Nobu isnt the first, luca's grand dad and that old man bard (from nobu) had some Japanese food when they were young (i forgot what chapter is it, but im pretty sure it is in gen). Apparently, isekai bar is come and go in this universe.
In the past, we see Iruma kinda considerate and doesnt want to push too much off their privacy boundary (he didnt want to know Azz's magic genetic if its doesnt okay with him or 2nd year battler arc, Jazz's pet)
but on the other hand he kinda out of his way, if that person has some inner...
Compared to Nobu, Gen is less Japanese-centric on their cuisine. Iirc, there are only 2 non Japanese food in Nobu (Napolitan and Ajillo).
While in Gen, we see Lablabi, Banh Mi, Baguette, Pho, Hamburger.
Anyway, this is just my weird observation lol.
I dont think Shizuko and Oda wish to annex neighbouring region, Japan (excluding Ryukyu Kingdom/Okinawa) imperial tendencies began in Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Kinoshita Tokichirou) government.
