Takeomi second kanji means retainer (it has other meanings but theyre more-or-less similar; vassal, subject) yet, at first it was a title (and a high one, albeit it also fell down in level of importance) – but that reading is archaic now. Takeomi likes Akechi Mitsuhide because they share birthdays, and Akechi Mitsuhide was a shogun – he stayed solely about 13 days as the ruler of Japan. For some reasons, a French fantranslation of TR changed Takeomi's nickname of 'God of war' into 'Mars', tying him with the Roman God of war, coincidentally it's also the month he was born in (Mars/March) – and it was the first month of the year in the Roman empire, before January and February appeared and pushed it down.
