->''It's the Sengoku Period, and there are heroes abound. A time of war, conspiracy, scheming, and love. There were many complicated issues in the Sengoku Period; this story is about the ups and downs in the lives of heroes who lived during these turbulent times.''
-->-- '''Opening Narration'''

''Tono to Issho'' (''My Lord and Me'') is a JidaiGeki gag series which started out as a {{Yonkoma}} manga by Ohba-Kai, which was serialized in ''Comic Flapper'' from 2006 to 2017. It has since been made into two TwelveEpisodeAnime seasons, ''One Minute Theatre'' and ''Eyepatch's Ambition'', which aired in 2010 and 2011.

Each episode follows the exploits of a famous UsefulNotes/FeudalJapan personage -- such as UsefulNotes/DateMasamune, UsefulNotes/UesugiKenshin, or UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga -- as they go about their daily business, drawing inspiration from both historical facts and popular legends. However, it being a parody and all, {{Flanderization}} kicks in and transforms the main characters into a bunch of nutjobs, morons, psychopaths, crossdressers, and otaku, whose eccentric behaviour causes their long-suffering servants and relatives no end of stress.

The anime is available to watch [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/tono-to-issho here]] on Crunchyroll.

!!Tropes:

* TheAlcoholic: Uesugi Kenshin has been drinking profusely since a young age. When drunk he slurs his words and thinks he's a rap star.
* AnachronismStew: Some characters wear modern clothes, and apparently anime and microphones have been invented.
* AxCrazy: Everyone from the Oda clan. Also Komatsu, and quite possibly Naoe Kanetsugu.
* BadBoss: Nobunaga has a habit of setting his retainers on fire.
* BearsAreBadNews: Azai Nagamasa fears that Nobunaga will send a bear in place of his sister, Oichi, as a bride. He then imagines Oichi as a dominatrix in charge of a bear army.
* BeleagueredAssistant: It could be called ''Beleaguered Assistants: The Anime'', since 95% of all the retainers count. In particular, Kagetsuna and Shigezane have become so used to Masamune's bizarre behaviour they rarely even try to prevent it anymore.
* BigSisterWorship: Kenshin can't say no to his manipulative sister Sento-In, who almost bankrupts the country due to her expensive tastes.
* BishieSparkle: Kanetsugu is followed everywhere by a cloud of purple sparkles.
* ButtMonkey: Akechi Mitsuhide amongst the Oda clan. It's implied this is what makes him eventually rebel.
-->'''Akechi:''' ''[[SurvivalMantra I swear eternal fealty to Lord Nobunaga. I swear eternal fealty to Lord Nobunaga. I swear eternal fealty to Lord Nobunaga. I swear eternal fealty to Lord Nobunaga. I swear eternal fealty to Lord Nobunaga...]]''
* CastingGag: This is not the first time Creator/{{Gackt}} has been cast as UsefulNotes/UesugiKenshin. He already played him in an NHK live-action JidaiGeki drama ''Fuurin Kazan''.
* CollectorOfTheStrange: Date Masamune and his collection of absurd eyepatches.
* TheComicallySerious: Most of the main characters just don't realize how insane the stuff coming out of their mouths sounds, and remain completely stone-faced.
* DaddysGirl: Nohime has got her dad wrapped around her little finger, with pretty painful consequences.
* DerangedAnimation
* DudeLooksLikeALady: [[{{Moe}} Motochika]], to the extent that he's voiced by Creator/MamikoNoto and his servants refuse to accept he's a boy, making him wear a miniskirt and fantasising about marrying him.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Kenshin is just SO handsome! Motochika too, technically.
* EyepatchOfPower: Masamune seems to believe this makes him cool, but ultimately averts it since he's kinda incompetent.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: Takeda Shingen acts like a SmittenTeenageGirl when it comes to Kenshin.
* FreezeFrameBonus: Most of the characters have ridiculous slogans hanging on their walls, which tend to change throughout the scene.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Nobunaga all the frickin' time. Even before he became the Demon King.
* HairFlip: Kanetsugu's trademark, usually when he says something dramatic.
* HenpeckedHusband: Komatsu is called the "demon-bride" and historically kept her husband Nobuyuki firmly under her thumb. In this series, she uses [[WrestlerInAllOfUs wrestling moves]] on him.
* HeroicBSOD: Masamune every time someone insults one of his eyepatches, which turns his face into that of an ugly old man.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter
* HumongousMecha: Masamune comes up with a series based around one, called ''Guntain''.
* IdiotHair: Ranmaru's has a life of its own (it's even got built in radar). Also Sanada Masayuki and Yukimura. All three of them are tricksters rather than idiots.
* IdolSinger: In the second season, Motochika becomes one to recruit soldiers, changing his name to "Motochina".
* InstantFanclub: Motochina has 90% of the country's population in his fanclub.
* ItAmusedMe: Nobunaga is prepared to make Mitsuhide do all sorts of dangerous and humiliating stunts, just so long as they're "fresh and interesting".
* JapaneseDelinquents: Maeda Keiji, as the narrator likes to remind us, would be considered one nowadays. Which also means that he's a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who rescues stray kittens.
%%* KabukiSounds
* ManChild: Masamune especially. Lampshaded by his retainers asking him if he's a middle school student.
* MegatonPunch: Shingen punches a retainer across the room for insulting his beloved Kenshin.
* NonActionGuy: Azai Nagamasa, who is left bedridden after doing two push-ups.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Motochika apparently, since his younger brother Chikayasu looks twice his age.
%%* OnlySaneMan: There's usually at least one per clan.
* PerpetualFrowner: Uesugi Kagekatsu. According to Kanetsugu though, he's actually smiling.
%%* PoseOfSupplication
* PyroManiac: Just about everything Nobunaga touches goes up in flames.
* SerialEscalation: In terms of sheer silliness. For instance, in season 1 Motochika looked girly, whereas in season 2 he's full on cross dressing.
* ShoutOut:
** Kenshin's character Bishaemon is such a blatant rip-off of Manga/{{Doraemon}} that they have to pixellate everything.
** Masamune's ''Guntain'' anime is a parody of ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''.
** The Shimazu brothers are a reference to ''Franchise/PowerRangers''.
** Part of Keiji's episode mimics ''Anime/HeidiGirlOfTheAlps''.
* SuddenVideoGameMoment: The Azai episodes are designed like a VisualNovel come TextAdventure.
* SuperDeformed:
** Minor characters have a tendency to become chibi when the situation gets really weird and they start yelling at people.
** Trickster characters like Kanetsugu and the Sanada family also spend most of the time as chibis.
* SuperSentaiStance: This is the Shimazu brothers' speciality.
* SurrealThemeTune: The second ending theme just consists of Masamune's voice actor saying all the characters' names in succession ''really'' fast.
* TalkativeLoon: Kanetsugu when he goes off on one about Kagekatsu. They have to [[FastForwardGag fast-forward]] through most of it.
* TheTrickster:
** Mori Ranmaru never misses an opportunity to put Mitsuhide in compromising situations.
** Masayuki and Yukimura make a game out of Nobuyuki's abusive marriage.
** Kanetsugu seems to enjoy meddling in the affairs of his retainers and pulling Kagekatsu's strings.
* UnholyMatrimony: Nobunaga fell in love with Nohime because she was prepared to stab her father in the face without hesitation.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Motochina just wants to make his fans happy.
* WorldOfHam: Generally when all hell breaks loose (as it inevitably does) the characters just revert to shouting.
