There is hardly a historical era in which historical anime with fantasy elements Drifters does not borrow a real character. From Sengoku period characters like Oda Nobunaga, Shimazu Toyohisa, and Akechi Mitsuhide to World War II fighter pilots and even more unexpected characters like Butch Cassidy and Joan of Arc, this historical anime uses time travel to push these characters together.The title of Drifters refers to how these characters drift, they are sent to continue fighting in another world. That world is completely unlike ours, full of giants, magic, wizards, and elves, and the Drifters must work together to regain any place in that battle.
