- 📜 Warring States Japan: Sengoku Jidai - Part 2 - Extra History
With his western borders secure, Oda Nobunaga turns his attention east in the direction of the Shogun. When diplomacy fails to subdue the Saito clan that stands between him and Kyoto, Nobunaga enlists the aid of his brilliant diplomat and engineer, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi turns the Saito's vassals against them and constructs a fort for Nobunaga's samurai to siege Inabayama Castle. After his crushing victory, Nobunaga allies with the former Shogun's brother and uses him as a political shield to take Kyoto.

Oda Nobunaga would like to form a defensive pact for 25 gold per turn.
second best comment ever.
Best.
*agrees*
*says no and declares war*
Shogun 2 XD
Building an entire garrison tower right on your enemies face, that's some Protoss levels of balls right there...
To be fair: They did it pre-patch. Not sure if current balancing would allow such a move ;)
This is only the second example of offensive castle building I've ever seen (the other was an English castle built smack in the midle of Welsh-held territory).
Pansy Jerichon Or "Bro, I heard you like castles so I put a castle near your castle so you can castle while you castle".
"Surprise, mothafockas!"
and Oda Nobunaga is the father in law of Tokugawa Ieyausu
build a castle in range of another one overnight. that's some age of empires shit right there
best commento ever!
+patricio torre Warpten. its a thing
+patricio torre maybe it was simply good enough at the time. I doubt that they have been picky. then again, I don't much about history
Age IV achieved.
aegis man
"Warrior Monks" - And with two words I have never been more excited about history.
they're game designers and whatnot, man
they know how to work an interest curve
The warrior monks are assholes basically, I don't mean to spoil it, I just had to say it
Yeah... That is the best way to describe the man who is about to tip the scales. I don't want to spoil it, but for those of you who've played Samurai Warriors (or even Basara) or any other game set in this timeline, you know exactly who we're talking about.
CURSE YOU WARRIOR MONKS! Always ruining stuff.
Thats my favorite pantheon
I sometimes wonder if Japanese people, when studying Western history, find our names so complicated.
When they see that we keep our names throughout history, I bet they think "oh thank god! Too bad they're language is just as confusing as the names."
Their* (on mobile, cannot edit comments)
When I saw the previous video world war I, name like Nichollas "nicky", Wilhelm "willy", Franz do seems pretty similar. Not mention the hardest one to remember like Pourtales and Sazonov. It took me at least 2 times rewatching the video to know what's going on.
按針(Anjin) →William Adams (24 September 1564 - 16 May 1620), known in Japanese as Miura Anjin.
耶楊子(Yayousu→Jan Joosten van Lodensteyn (or Lodensteijn) (1556 - 1623), or simply Jan Joosten, was a native of Delft and one of the first Dutchmen in Japan
They served Ieyasu Tokugawa and married a Japanese woman. The rotation of the house where they lived in becomes the place name and stays now.Both were the places that were near to Edo Castle.(near the Imperial Palace now)
Anjin street →Chu-o-Ku (near Ginza ) in Tokyo
Yaesu (Yayousu) town →Near to Tokyo station. If you come to Japan, You will see "Yaesu gate" in Tokyo Station.
I'm sure they do. In European medieval history, there were a thousand Richards and Edwards, only differentiated by the number appended to their names.
Hideyoshi's castle was built in parts elsewhere and then put together in one night. I believe it is one of the first instances in history of a building being built away from its later site.
Minamoto Yoshiie
So...the first Ikea?
Romans I think, did it first, considering their castra or fort are modular only to be put up in place. I could be wrong maybe some other civilization earlier than the Romans carry their forts and just assemble them onsite.
Kind of like the colonists in the American revolution.
It was a wood/bamboo fort which the walls are essentially rafts that can just float down rivers and them prop up with timber beams that can also float down river. I think stone reinforcement was built later and the outer wooden wall taken down as material for the keep. Not sure wat the timeline was in Saito conquest tho. Could have happened after Saito conceded.
Yes, I thought that was what happened as well. What I learned was that he actually did assemble it in a day, but the parts were built offsite and assembled later. I also heard that the original building was very flimsy, and had to be later reinforced, but it was the main shock that a building had suddenly appeared that counted.
It's Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi, they say! He built the castle in just one day!
SW1 reference?
Rude Normie Bingo
+Rude Normie What is SW1?
Samurai Warriors. Or, more specifically, the first game in the Samurai Warriors spin-off series of the Dynasty Warriors series by Koei-Tecmo. Worth checking out for a cursory summing-up of Japanese history with a couple of big important names, and a fairly solid series of hack-and-slash games besides.
Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi they say! Literally got beaten by Korea in like 6 years.
3:17 the decision to send Hideyoshi in to bribe the Saitō’s allies and speed-build the fort shows a strange mix of humility and pride on Nobunaga’s part. He knew he was Japan’s greatest military mind, but realized that the task at hand required a different skillset to his own speciality. It’s an interesting combination of grace and resource management skills.
Actually, Hideyoshi's castle was indeed "put up" in a single night. He pre-fabricated the components at several nearby building sites, shipped them in with rollers, sledges and teams of draft animals, then erected the structure overnight using the pre-assembled sections.
"What could possibly go wrong?" - Famous last words
Wait...
Is Extra Credits run by... BUBSY?!
Right after that they Ironically said Tune in in a few weeks to see wat goes wrong
"Matsudaira motoyatsu -> my man -> homie -> that samurai"
Good work, guys.
Honest to god, you guys make history *fun*.
I am proud to be a Patreon.
Agreed! History teachers need to learn a lesson from these videos.
FUCK I LOVE HISTORY! ITS LIKE THE WORLD'S OWN MASSIVE RPG STORYLINE!
+gghgg948 that's the best description of history ever.
+gghgg948 I love your enthusiasm xd
That is correct mister.
and we are all the NPC
Right?!
2:20 Tokugawa Ieyasu
NOBONAGATRON
HONDAM
"20 % cooler", huh. I was surprised to see that kind of reference in there.
Ken Ashcorp ftw
Znerual5438 Who's Ken Ashcorp? It's a My Little Pony reference.
BurningSunBloodyMoon He's a guy who made a pretty good song about MLP called "20% Cooler"
***** His avatar is a female panda and I think it's an insult to even mention him and one direction in the same sentence
I noticed that too.
/)
Behold the castle, that was built in one day~
"What genius could have done this?" you say~
It's Hideyoshi! Hideyoshi we praise~
He built the castle in just one day~ (Whee~)
It's Hideyoshi! Hideyoshi we praise~
He built the castle in just one day!
The greatest cutscene from the series. :D
DarrylCross
One of the few I remember, it's been a while since I played that series.
solid series and great intro to the series
It's Hideyoshi, Hideyoshi we praise! He built a castle in just one daaaaaaaaaay!~~
Sw1?
+John Taguba You know it!
4:18 "Now, we can be sure that he didn't really build that place overnight". Yes he did, he just went to the store and paid $2 for 50 DaimyoDollars so he could built it instantly
P2w
I'm glad they put in that blurb about names. Now the "evolution" of the warlords in Pokemon Conquest kind of make sense.
Name extention is not just part of Japaneese culture. There once was a man by the name of Sven Forkbeard Erikson of Legend, King of Denmark & Norway and Conqueror of the Angles, Saxons, and Brittons.
Apparently toyotomi Hideyoshi made the castle by importing the wood for the castle instead of cutting it from the local area using trees for cover. Also called ichiya jo or one night castle since they just cut the wood in the night before to show it off as miraculously appearing.
About the fortress toyotomi "build in one night". First its not a forteress you would think with stone walls and else, in fact fences were enough. Second, Toyotomi did gather pre-builded material to the site and only the assemblage of the castle was made in one night. One of the famous strategy of Hideyoshi was also to display a single side of a castle in the sight of enemy fortress in order it look like an entire fortress was already built, and he used that too on Inabayama. Toyotomi main skills were not diplomacy but strategy on castle sieges.
warrior monks? WARRIOR monks? WARRIOR MONKS?!
WE NEED THIS NAOW!
"Tune in next week to find out what went wrong. Hint: it was Walpole."
GOD DANGIT WALPOLE!
who ?
@@yashbharti280lol it's been 7 months since you commented so you've probably seen the video about walpole.... but if not, it's a reference from future episodes
5:07- And this is why some fiction portray Hideyoshi as one of Nobunaga's ninja XD
7:10
You don't hold DOWN the fort.
You just hold the fort.
It's not an inflatable balloon that we worry about drifting away.
(David Mitchell - Couldn't care less)
Wait, so why DID those three do so well at unifying japan? You never came back to the question! :o
Tactical brilliance mixed with copious amounts of effective diplomacy and a willingness to discard traditional practices. Need a castle to take the castle: why not just build one?
What it mostly comes down to is that Oda and his buddies didn't blind themselves with tradition or convention--they embraced whatever was most effective, and they were good at it.
Ah, so it's just that these three guys realized that "pragmatic" was more efficient than "traditional"? And no one else did?
.....*laughs* Oh man, if that's actually the case, Japan in those days REALLY had this whole thing coming! XD
Aegix Drakan
Well, if ya wanna talk about those who tried to stick with tradition, there's the entirety of China and Korea. And you know where all that eventually lead to.
I'll touch on my thoughts on it in the Lies episode for this one, but I want EH to be a jumping off point not a ending point for people, so you can expect that I'll be throwing out questions that I don't answer specifically to spawn discussions like this ; )
-JP
"What could possibly go wrong?"
My thought exactly. I'm sure everything will go swell. No betrayals or anything could happen, or anything like that.
Well considering the next chapter is called Capturing Cities of Doom, It's safe to say that EVERYTHING COULD GO WRONG!!!
This series is making me want to revisit Shogun 2: Total War.
Lol, and now that I have revisited it, I almost immediately remembered why I stopped playing it in the first place.
Graidon Mabson Why?
(WARRIOR MONKS!)
It is such a beautiful game.
Shamefur dispray
I just wanted to drop by and say my first interest into this channel was from the Punic Wars series of Extra History. Since then I've waited and hoped that you would continue to develop this line of animation and am very glad you have. Your presentation of history combined with graphics is succinct and entertaining for persons of all age. I hope you continue on to find joy and popularity in your future works.
I love how the emperor became a puppet, and eventually the shoguns became puppets as well. Its amusing to see two levels of puppets.
2:18 - A feudal warlord named Mai Homii would be the coolest thing in the world.
Man, Toyotomi is a bad ass
***** i notice if he isn't called the monkey or toyotomi he's called hashiba, what does that mean?
Hashiba was his name before he assumed the name of 'Toyotomi'.
Lucca216 but he gets fucked by admiral Yi.
Hello
More accurately, his commanders Todo Takatora, Wakizaka Yasuharu, Kurushima Michifusa and Michiyuki, Kato Yoshiaki and Kuki Yoshitaka got fucked over by Admiral Yi. That’s all the daimyo I can recall as having fought against Yi in some naval battle or another.
(Some of these actually fought Yi multiple times and lost multiple times)
Lord Erebus yep. Hideyoshi was affinitely called Monkey by Nobunaga due to his look. The other Nobunaga loyal vassal, Toshiie Maeda was called Dog.
Aw man, this is making me feel old: I studied all this stuff in East Asisn Civilisation in first year at uni! Great work guys, I love Extra History, you do a really good job of finding all the little details that bring the stories to life.
I love how the people who made this made it funny; learning is better when it's fun, and if while you make it funny, it's also educational, you earned a subscriber
2:19 "my man" "homie" lmfao that made my day
I love how I can remember all of the names and locations of every clan from playing shogun 2 :)
Lost it at "Nobunagatron"
The visuals in this video were great. Every single joke landed. 10/10 score to the animators.
I really hope you guys bring up the parable about the three unifiers of Japan. Because this episode in particular shows quite well while Hideyoshi is described the way he is in it.
Well damn, I've waited all week for this and now I'm even more excited for the next episode!
2:40
"20% cooler"
I see what you did there, artist
The Saito were the best clan to jave as vassal in Shogun 2,but history tells otherwise. Thats nice
This is a great series to go along with the anime Nobunaga Concerto, a lot of its history is sped up and this fills in the gaps nicely.
Ubisoft Please make a Assassins creed game based this time period.
Emm I don't think it would be possible because of the blood line of the Present Guy.
Darkion I don't think that matters anymore after how the "present guy" storyline got basically derailed in AssCreed4. At this point, it'd be completely doable. Ubisoft is just a lazy publisher without any good ideas anymore. :P
EVacStation Ubisoft = New EA, I loved the old Ubisoft that really used Rayman :/
Darkion Rayman up to 3 was the best thing ever, then they made some spinoffs (let's please call them spinoffs) and now they made Origins and Legends, which are great, though I still hope for an earnest Rayman 4
Darkion To be fair, they still have SOME good stuff. (Trials is good. Far Cry is good). But 2014 has been a total year of fuck ups for them (at least from a PR standpoint). They've got a lot of work ahead of them in 2015 to make up for all that.
You guys are the best! My history teacher has officially started using your videos for lessons, and I love it! Keep it up!
If I remember correctly, I read that Hideyoshi pre-fab the "castle" and float it down the river, and had it setup overnight, perhaps it's not structural sound yet, but to enemy scouts who probably know nothing about building structures, it will look like he completed it overnight
Ever since I first saw your videos, I've just been watching them nonstop. I'm a huge history buff and love learning about history from around the world, even when I'm not paying attention I usually have your videos playing in the background.
My only regret is how long these episodes take to make. Although that said its obvious why both the story telling and the images are superb
Treachery! Intrigue! NAMES. OMG NAMES EVERYWHERE. This is freaking epic and I am ashamed and astounded that I didn't know about any of it before.
Plus, warrior monks?! I'm totally squeeing right now. I almost want to not read about this until the next video's done because spoilers (for ancient history, I know, but STILL).
Why, WHY have I never heard of any Sengoku Jidai games?! I'd play the HELL out of this!
Shogun 2 Total War is set during the Sengoku Jidai. And it's expansion, Fall of the Samurai, is set during the Boshin War.
I'm pretty sure Paradox made a strategy game focussed on the Sengoku Jidai (at least the game is also called Sengoku). Also Europa Universalis covers the period, although I'm not sure how fleshed out the Japan experience will be (it's called *Europa* Universalis after all).
John-Alan Pascoe In EU IV playing as Japan or one of the Daimyos is a whole other game by itself, it actually covers it pretty well.
Try Age of empires Three. the Asian Dynasties. it doen't have nobunaga but it does have Tokugawa.
Nobunaga's Ambition came out in like 1980 something
This is getting exciting! Can't wait for part 3!
I love these Extra History episodes. Thanks for doing them!
Can't wait for more. This is actually amazing, specially because I had zero history classes about japan.
"What could go wrong?"
"Tune in next week to find out what goes wrong." :D
Yes, the days I’ve spent playing samurai Warriors, this makes me nostalgic
2:57 is when the Onimusha: Warlords take place. If you love this part of history, you will love how they used it for their story.
Japan is literally so Anime, even the history is an Anime
I see we're nearly to the tragic act that ensures Nobunaga's reputation as being "evil" in the eyes of every video game designer and anime writer in Japan... Shame he didn't have the political acumen to work the religious angle as well as he did the military one. He might have fared a lot better.
Shame about the giant golden Buddha too... Lost to history.
***** Oh I'm aware that Nobunaga didn't hate the Buddhists, and it was a military decision, but since Japan's primary faiths are Shinto and Buddhism, his destruction of the temple is the reason he was vilified by pretty much everyone who used him in a popular work of entertainment in modern times.
Had he been able to (as some of his contemporaries did) exploit the religious angle and gain the backing of the monks, he'd have left a completely different legacy, and would likely be the hero of the very works in which he is currently cast as the enemy.
*****
There was also the concern that Japanese Christians would be loyal to a foreign Pope, and the fact that the Portugese King kept asking Jesuit priests whether an invasion of Japan would be viable or not. Historically, Eastern civilization has actually been pretty accepting of foreign religions, but they're paranoid and react violently when they think that foreign cultures are subverting the populace.
I'd say Nobunaga did have considerable political chops of his own (you don't get to conquer most of Japan at the time with just force alone). He was just forced to make a decision in regards to a very real military nuisance--i.e the warrior monks of Mt. Hiei. Those guys were everywhere serving as mercenaries to anyone who can pay for their services and basically gave Nobunaga a huge military headache. That, plus they were really against a lot of his policies and his rise to power. Especially since Nobunaga never was a guy with any deep attachment to religion, and most probably saw the monks as a regressive, stuffy, hypocritical institution that tied Japan to a past he had relatively little interest with.
Heck, that might have been one of the things that made him friendly towards the Christian missionaries--while he wasn't a Christian himself, he liked that Christian rituals and prayers didn't take nearly as long as Buddhist ones which Nobunaga found tedious and boring.
I have never yearned for a youtube video more than this one. So glad its finally here.
Oh I wish I had money to support you guys on Patreon! Please keep making Extra History, please? Japan is the coolest place ever and I've been wanting to know more of it's history for a long time. Thank you guys for all you do.(Hideyoshi is the coolest guy ever.)
I liked the previous episodes of extra history very much, but this one is actually in some way even more interesting because i never knew anything about Japans history and was not told about it in School, either. However i must say it is really difficult to deal with the names
"Warrior monks"!? Oh man, next episode sounds even more epic. Can't wait! :-D
Yes, the buddhist warrior monks who had a temple right outside of Kyoto. Im really excited to see what happens too!
Spoiler alert: Oda killed them all
These guys created their own martial art based on Harmony, Meditation, and Focus.
That intro animation with the books sparks joy
I have to say - been watching these EH Episodes for awhile, and you do a very good job of some of these crazy names!
This video series is teaching me a lot about Pokemon Conquest.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi the man who started as a sandal carrier ended up attacking korea
truly inspiring
Japanese history is so cool. I would LOVE a video about all the name changes involved please!
I hope there are History Teachers out there incorporating these videos into their classroom.
I've literally gone on hour long research 'missions' to dive into the scholarly historical records to get to the extra juicy intricacies of it all.
Specifically the Ghengis Khan & Catherine The Great Series you've made.
Keep on Keepin' On!
4:30
"My name is Oda Nobunaga, and I have a banana on my a head!!! A BANANA!!!!"
With the subtle, but widely recognizable reference to My Little Pony, the honorable speaker for Extra Credits has firmly cemented an amiable relationship with the Brony clan. Well played.
I love these animated videos! Especially these Japanese History ones. I cant wait till the next one!
I love, love, love the whole history episodes. Great job guys!
FINALLY: been thinking ages from where I know the music ... Finally found out it's from the good old times I played on my nintendo :D actraiser :3
The White Piano Key What is the name on the song?
TELL UUUUUUUUS
EightBait The outro music is called “Hakkaido” by Gunnar Johnsén.
Wow, thanks!
EightBait You can find the song in Sound Cloud.
6:00 Nobunaga fabricates on Kyoto.
this is a brilliant way of presenting it, you're doing a great job! the Sengoku Jidai is something i love reading about! thank you for this!! can't help but laugh!
I think Extra History is now my favorite thing on TH-cam!
"What could possibly go wrong?"
Akechi Mitsuhide.
Gretel the snake
Hey guys, loving the history shows. Could you consider doign a series on the Chinese warring states period? I've tried to get my head around it (by playing Dynasty Warriors and watching Red Cliff), but it's kinda complicated. Also, we all need to learn more about China, so yeah.
Aaron Horrell tea
Badass history + Side-splitting visuals = several minutes of sheer fun. Thanks EC people! :D
I wonder if you can do an analysis of Nobunaga's character. I personally like the that there is no one way to look at him as the times made it difficult to do so. Also, it shows him as a person with all the layered complications it entails. He was spontaneous with his plans and random with his actions (in the last episode, it went unsaid that while Nobunaga's generals were deliberating surrender he broke out into a war dance then decided to attack and later his spontaneity may have led to one of vassal's betraying him at Honnoji). Despite how harsh he was, he did let Hideyoshi rise to fame and he had a softer side with Ranmaru Mori (Nobunaga's personal vassal, protege of sorts, and heavily implied lover). But he was also prone to great anger.
And that sister of Nobunaga's that married the Azai was Oichi, wasn't it? (smug look)
Thank you Pokemon Conquest. =D
What could possibly go wrong? Stay tuned next week to see what goes wrong. I don't want to spoil it for you but...
...it was Walpole.
Thank you guys, it was both informative and intertaining
Really enjoying this little series, guys. Keep up the good work!
2:45 I LOL'ED SO HARD!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHA
Pff... you lost me at names since the last episode... still if I have a map with banners in front of me I can understand it good enough
“Warrior monks” can’t wait 😌🤩
This type of educational videos should be mandatory in schools.
I always hated history but can’t find myself to get enough of these sweet and short videos.
Thank you so much 🙏🏾
"Good boy. Give this one a hammer." That's great
I see Toyotomi employed the services of Twentygoodmen.
Nobunagatron.....
I sense a new anime already. ;)
Hi, EC,
Sorry I'm so bad at following you all, but that makes it such a great surprise when I do find "They made another mini-series!" I love how you combine learning with humor. I learned calculus so well because I did nearly all my homework during role-playing sessions, which always included lots of jokes. Math didn't quite use the same part of my brain, and I could always look down and see where I was on my work papers. Thank you for Extra History. I show others, too. And I also love Extra Credits.
This is a fantastic series, good job and keep it up!
I find all these names pretty hard to remember, probably because I'm so unfamiliar with the culture and history of the far east (except for XX century). It would be really cool if you talked a bit about WW1 outside of Europe.
***** there was lots of activity in the middle east
*****
Oh, I see. I think I heard them say something about fighting outside of Europe in their first WW1 episode which is why I mentioned it.
Williamz there was a lot of fighting outside of europe the continent, but this involved mostly colonies not different countries. also the ww1 series was only about how the war came to be, not how it played out. to be honest I would love to hear more about is aswell though... but i guess I just want more extra hisroty it's so awesome and i really like this series, because i watched the nobunaga concerto anime earlier this year, but didnt know any of the history so it was kinda confusing
*****
I see, thanks.
If you want to hear more about how the first world war played out in more detail, I recommend the podcast Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.
Hojo is the triforce...Zelda samurai edition confirmed
I LOVE THESE NEW HISTORY SHOWS, GUYS!!! Thanks for the years of entertainment : )
This is so great! I need more!
Do an extra history lesson on the Sino-Japanese war and Russo-Japanese war. Loveliness.
4:22 Am I the only one that wants a samurai teddy bear now?
Extra History makes me happy!
5:30 TOYOTOMI THE REAL PRINCE OF PERSIA
