Hope you guys enjoy The Oda Experience! Let me know what you thought down in the comments, can't wait to read them all! :) Also sorry about fucking up the background at the end, i finished this campaign in 4 days and edited the rest in just under 2, surprised this was the only hiccup!
I own an arquebus for home defense, since that's what Oda Nobunaga intended. Four Azai traitors break into my house. "Nani no akuma?" As I grab my Kabuto helmet and Portuguese made Tanegashima. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my match-lock pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the Ikko-Ikki. I have to resort to the Hwacha mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with arrows, "Anata to hanarete!" the arrows shred the two men, the stray arrows set of the horses. Grab my Yari and charge the last terrified Azai. He bleeds out waiting on the Tokugawa to arrive, since Yari wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as Oda Nobunaga intended.

*inhales in pseudo-intellectual condescension* This is a technically incorrect interpretation of the Ashigaru. While originating in the common peasant levies of earlier centuries, by the Sengoku Jidai ashigaru were essentially a non-noble part of the Bushi class. Effectively something between professional soldiers and mercenaries. There isn't complete consistency since all of the different domains did things differently to varying extents, especially in this era, but this is the broad stroke of it. To the best of my knowledge, most of the Ashigaru Nobunaga used were hired or recruited instead of conscripted and this would be expanded upon during the Tokugawa Shogunate. This may lend to why they did better, although that was probably much more to do with how they were organized. Tl;dr: They probably wouldn't have been disposable slaves or serfs, especially not the ones given guns and especially not in Oda employ.
@@The_Crimson_Fucker Sounds like the Ashigaru were the Japanese version of Landsknechts, especially if they had conscripted criminals and volunteers who made suicidal charges at the enemy in exchange for freedom, wealth or glory if they survived, like a Forlorn Hope.

In Darth mod, Ashigaru take 0.5 turn to train, so with 2 training slots you can train 4 per turn, with 3 slots, you can train 6. So Oda can pull off Creed and manifest army out of nowhere.
Oda Nobunaga: men how do we improve our ashigaru? General 1: make em cheaper General 2: give em armor General 3: let's make the yari longer Oda: give that man a promotion
not to be nerdy, but nobunaga never converted to Christianity. he allowed it in japan so he can trade better with the European countries because he was very fond of it.
@@jakeegan3195 Nah. My dude Oda is a chad that did what needed to be done. Them damn monks had it coming, and literally every other fucks in his way. He's the Julius Caesar of Japan and Asia. Also, its war. You're supposed to be a bit psychotic. Besides, Oda was a pretty based and chill guy. As long as you're competent and ain't an ass to him, he'll treat you right.
I know this is like three years late BUT the Ashigaru weren't peasant levies. They were professional soldiers, taken from tradesfamilies or farmers. One of the most influential men in all of Japanese history was an Oda Yari Ashigaru. Think of them more like man-at-arms and less like peasants.
By the end of that period, the distinction between Samurai and Ashigaru became really thin. Many Veteran Ashigaru units were at the same level in skills and gear as the supposely superior Samurai. Spending many years on campaign made most Ashigaru professional soldiers not the pressed gang peasants at the beginning Didn't Hideyoshi start off as a lowly Ashigaru? Look what he became

Ah. The Oda. Takes me back to my very first game of Shogun 2, when I took over the entire center of Japan before even getting gunpowder weaponry (mainly because I didn't know that was a thing). Best moment was when a single soldier got 12 kills while surrounded by an enemy unit. Will always remember that day.

I am here with another fun fact about Sengoku era Japan! This one is about a man named Yasuke. He was a loyal retainer of Oda Nobunaga and very well respected. He was also black and one of the few Nanban to be awarded the rank of samurai. Sadly we don't know much about his life before arriving in Japan. He was a slave to an Italian missionary who was working his way through Asia when their ship was caught in a storm and sank. Yasuke washed up on shore and pretty quickly caught the attention of the locals. Keep in mind, the vast majority of Japanese people didn't know much about Westerners, let alone black people and the guy was over 6ft tall in a time when most Asians were short. He was taken to meet Nobunaga who was very impressed by his stature and physical strength, as well as intrigued why they couldn't wash the 'ink' off of him. Yasuke entered his service as his sword bearer and accompanied Nobunaga on his capaigns. Sadly, during the ambush as Honnoji, Yasuke was eventually defeated and while accounts say Akechi Mitsuhide, the man who betrayed Nobunaga, opted to turn him over to the Christian missionaries in Kyoto, there's no record of what happened to him after that. I should point out that a good portion of this story changes with the telling and I'm just giving the version I heard. This is a case of someone we definitely know existed but sadly not much about. I'm probably going to get a lot of "Well actually..." for this, but I think it's an interesting story regardless.
its much more likely for the interior ministry to be the Tokugawa Clan a staunch ally of the Oda clan there are 2 reasons for this 1 in Japanese it is referred to as "The interior Minister" a title once held by Tokugawa and 2 the red armor and heraldry looks very similar to one of Tokugawa's vassals.
@@GeraltofRivia22 Yet their sidearm katanas became popular XD, unlike the Chinese where their jian and daos were not as popular, and guys like Guan Yu and Lu Bu were remembered for their Spears and Halberds, Mongols were remembered for being one of the best horse archers.
I don't know why, but for me Shogun 2 has one of the saddest endings for the campaigns, as it takes you to the "modern" times. Thousands died leading the clan to victory, a memorial was built on the hill where they died. It is now a park, where people enjoy themselves not thinking about the pain, the effort and the lives lost so that they can live their lives
I'd argue the imperial victory in FOTS is worse simply because it's the historically accurate option and what Japan will do over the next 80 years or so. Shogun or republican victory? Honestly could follow history or do something totally new
5:23 / I can't imagine Oda Nobunaga(おだせいけん) has converted to Christianity in the Sengoku age. Historically, he hated Buddhism monks(勝兵) because they were Robbers and bandits armed with a musket and a Naginata spear.
There’s a certain art to war montages. And watching your “experience” videos just makes me yearn for entire historical wars being memed and presented in such formats. Wellington at Waterloo: “It’ over Napoleon [Anakin], I have the high ground!” Proceeds to show the old guard march up to a volley. Marshal Ney yeeting his cavalry into the squares. With a face palm gif for Napoleon. Battle of Trafalgar, Lord Nelson: “I’m about to do what’s called as a Pro gamer move” Germans at the Ostfront during winter: “We are out of rice!” Parthians surrounding Marcus Crassus’s legion: “Omaewa mu shindaeru” Hannibal to some iberian mercenaries: “Get in fool, we’re [crossing the alps]”
It blows my mind that Rome had neither the spears nor the cavalry and still conquered the Mediterranean. Truly a testament to their martial and administrative abilities. Spears make war easy mode
@@partydean17 Well, they used spearmean as their first and last lines for centuries. Hastatus means spearman, the triarii were also spearmen. The princepii might have used spears too. Then, once they realized that Italy's terrain wasn't ideal for phalanx warfare, the romans used swords AS SPEARS. The gladius was mainly for stabbing, they were trained to stab the enemy up close while behind the shield. The thing about the maniples and later cohorts was having tactical flexibility, so they could exploit terrain and gaps in the enemy lines, which hoplites couldn't do it and relied on cavalry support instead. The use of swords allowed for closer combat as well, including storming cities and forts. The combo of scutum and gladius could be, in a general way, related to the old hoplon and spear model. The romans often let the enemy charge into their line, getting showered with pillum and breaking formation in the proccess. Then it was a matter of "gladius goes poke poke on your gut". So they used spears for a while, then used swords while keeping the shield.
@@partydean17 One more thing, more than once Caesar made his soldiers use their javelins as spears, so we know it could be done. It means that the romans had training in sword and spear warfare for at least part of their extensive history of conquest. Not even going to mention the differences between the early and late roman eras, their swords nearly became sabers in the end as they kept getting longer.
Honestly considering how everything we know about Chinese history either comes from medieval accounts or the CCP, I really wouldn't be surprised if most "chinese inventions" weren't actually made by the chinese
@@devilord3271 yes, because other nations histories are much more reliable and don't go through historical tampering at all. The CCP is evil so obviously Chinese History never existed.
Man, really good work. Those panning shots when front lines of two armies are about to collide, really felt cinematic. And of course, great selection of music.
Just imagine being a Legendary Samurai who has proved himself in countless battles you can’t wait to serve the Daimyo to your best ability but you get opted out because the Daimyo is a cat person.
The other clans were lucky. If the war had dragged out any longer, the Oda would have unveiled their secret weapon: the Longer Yari Ashigaru. You don't need guns when you can poke someone to death from the other side of the battlefield.
I like how your games always end up in apocalyptic mass-scale obliteration of whole cities GoT season 8 style Except there's no cringy bad writing so it's actually good
Me when I search up gunpowder Warfare: 0:04 Me when I read it what it says: 0:10 Me when I click history of gunpowder: 0:20 Me When the theme comes on I be like..MY GOD: 0:21
that's literally the opposite of his strategy IRL he had one of the few armies entirely comprised of professional in Japan something that gave him a huge edge over the peasant armies of some of his rivals
aha. my first heroic victory was 1-5 as oda with peasant musket men. nothing more terrifying then the number of guns. vs the lesser number of trained samurai
This game will always have the best animations and the best feel of any total war game Just that feeling when a cannon gets off that amazing hit litterally barreling the cannonballs through the enemy line
I would like to add side notes for this, Owari people in particular was not a warlike folk, they were weak compared to people in places like Kai, Satsuma and Echigo, and so Nobunaga chose to utilise his economical advantage, that this having one of the most fertile plains in Japan, and the size of army it can support. Don't mistake me, Oda was not the only clan that focus on ashigaru, in fact everyone does that, especially Chosokabe, but it was Nobunaga that utilise the numerical advantage.
hehe that cute. in theory it work but when ur facing doom stack samurai armies with alot of archers, ur tightly packed yari wall will just get deleted in a blink of a eye

Keep in mind, the vast majority of Japanese people didn't know much about Westerners, let alone black people and the guy was over 6ft tall in a time when most Asians were short.
He was taken to meet Nobunaga who was very impressed by his stature and physical strength, as well as intrigued why they couldn't wash the 'ink' off of him. Yasuke entered his service as his sword bearer and accompanied Nobunaga on his capaigns. Sadly, during the ambush as Honnoji, Yasuke was eventually defeated and while accounts say Akechi Mitsuhide, the man who betrayed Nobunaga, opted to turn him over to the Christian missionaries in Kyoto, there's no record of what happened to him after that.
I should point out that a good portion of this story changes with the telling and I'm just giving the version I heard. This is a case of someone we definitely know existed but sadly not much about. I'm probably going to get a lot of "Well actually..." for this, but I think it's an interesting story regardless.
I want a movie about this guy so so bad!
Some say he was an Afro Samurai. Others the OG Black Dynamite but what do know. Is he was a badass.
@@kingofkilps All we know is, he's not a badass, but the Stig's badass cousin!
@@GiMenish Ah a man of culture I see
@@Pilps Agree, super cool story
Sekiro Shadows Die Twice if the Oda were the Interior Ministry:
*ohgodohgod there’s a hundred of those spearmen rushing up the steps noooooOOOOOOOO*
If oda nobunaga was in charge it'd be mass guns everywhere with pikemen protecting them as they shoot youn
Heh heh :D Poke poke!
its much more likely for the interior ministry to be the Tokugawa Clan a staunch ally of the Oda clan there are 2 reasons for this 1 in Japanese it is referred to as "The interior Minister" a title once held by Tokugawa and 2 the red armor and heraldry looks very similar to one of Tokugawa's vassals.
@@ultraknight40000 The red armor looks like Takeda armor.
@@wallabapi Ii Naomasa, a vassal of the Tokugawa famously had his troops wear red armor. I think that‘s where they got their inspiration from.

Funny thing is the bow and spear were the main samurai weapons.
@@GeraltofRivia22 Yet their sidearm katanas became popular XD, unlike the Chinese where their jian and daos were not as popular, and guys like Guan Yu and Lu Bu were remembered for their Spears and Halberds, Mongols were remembered for being one of the best horse archers.

I don't know why, but for me Shogun 2 has one of the saddest endings for the campaigns, as it takes you to the "modern" times. Thousands died leading the clan to victory, a memorial was built on the hill where they died. It is now a park, where people enjoy themselves not thinking about the pain, the effort and the lives lost so that they can live their lives
I'd argue the imperial victory in FOTS is worse simply because it's the historically accurate option and what Japan will do over the next 80 years or so.
Shogun or republican victory? Honestly could follow history or do something totally new
5:23 / I can't imagine Oda Nobunaga(おだせいけん) has converted to Christianity in the Sengoku age. Historically, he hated Buddhism monks(勝兵) because they were Robbers and bandits armed with a musket and a Naginata spear.
There’s a certain art to war montages. And watching your “experience” videos just makes me yearn for entire historical wars being memed and presented in such formats.

Early modern warfare consists of pikes and more pikes. If you don't have a pike in war your not a early civilised modern human being!
It is the true Oda way!
It blows my mind that Rome had neither the spears nor the cavalry and still conquered the Mediterranean. Truly a testament to their martial and administrative abilities. Spears make war easy mode
@@partydean17
Well, they used spearmean as their first and last lines for centuries. Hastatus means spearman, the triarii were also spearmen. The princepii might have used spears too. Then, once they realized that Italy's terrain wasn't ideal for phalanx warfare, the romans used swords AS SPEARS. The gladius was mainly for stabbing, they were trained to stab the enemy up close while behind the shield.
The thing about the maniples and later cohorts was having tactical flexibility, so they could exploit terrain and gaps in the enemy lines, which hoplites couldn't do it and relied on cavalry support instead. The use of swords allowed for closer combat as well, including storming cities and forts. The combo of scutum and gladius could be, in a general way, related to the old hoplon and spear model.
The romans often let the enemy charge into their line, getting showered with pillum and breaking formation in the proccess. Then it was a matter of "gladius goes poke poke on your gut". So they used spears for a while, then used swords while keeping the shield.
@@partydean17
One more thing, more than once Caesar made his soldiers use their javelins as spears, so we know it could be done. It means that the romans had training in sword and spear warfare for at least part of their extensive history of conquest. Not even going to mention the differences between the early and late roman eras, their swords nearly became sabers in the end as they kept getting longer.
@@partydean17 because their units specialized in mobility and ability to adjust to changing battlefield conditions.
"Early gunpowder warfare" "History of Gunpowder" Shows images of Europe... Ok...
*Chinas in sad*
Obviously Japan aint gunna care about China ;D
@@Pilps lol, yeah, that's why they based most of their Culture, Technology, and Scholarship on China. XD
Honestly considering how everything we know about Chinese history either comes from medieval accounts or the CCP, I really wouldn't be surprised if most "chinese inventions" weren't actually made by the chinese
@@devilord3271 yes, because other nations histories are much more reliable and don't go through historical tampering at all. The CCP is evil so obviously Chinese History never existed.
love the warhammer 40k imperial guard voice lines

"so how did you friend died"
" ooh nothing special he got speared in the back then shot 50 times by the oda clan"
Pike and Shot Warfare is best warfare!

Man, really good work. Those panning shots when front lines of two armies are about to collide, really felt cinematic. And of course, great selection of music.
Other Clans: "Damn, I might be able to have two armies of elite units as early as 15 turns from now"
Oda: "TURN ONE SUPER SOLDIERS"
Pilps is an absolute hecking legend for responding to basically every one of this videos comments. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for the kind words my friend :D
Do you want more ashigaru with your ashigaru ?
YES
How to be a Devil King :
*Only use ranged weapons such as very long spear, guns, and cannons*
Just imagine being a Legendary Samurai who has proved himself in countless battles you can’t wait to serve the Daimyo to your best ability but you get opted out because the Daimyo is a cat person.
You know things are about to go poorly for the other guys once the Dawn of War quotes start flowing.
MAIN GUN READY! FIRE!
I love the Brutal Legends edit with Ozzy when the Nanban Traders arrived XD, always with the quality memes.
glad someone got the reference :D
The other clans were lucky. If the war had dragged out any longer, the Oda would have unveiled their secret weapon: the Longer Yari Ashigaru. You don't need guns when you can poke someone to death from the other side of the battlefield.
I want a mod now where that is possible aha :D
With long yari ashigaru you can be pretty much the japanese Alexander the Great, so go ahead and spearwall your way through the battlefield.
I hear a lot of music that King and Generals use and I love it. I've always wanted to know the name of the music in scene 14:30
Me too! I was going through the music on Epidemic Sound and my face lit up when i found out what the music was called now from their videos! :D
Last time i was this early the character models hadn´t even loaded
Heh heh ;)
"ashigaru are bedrock of Oda might"
*Wins legendary only with ashigaru*
Just how I want it ended.
ayeeeeeeee
I like how your games always end up in apocalyptic mass-scale obliteration of whole cities GoT season 8 style
Except there's no cringy bad writing so it's actually good
Oh god i thought i forgot about that horrific season. SEASON 8 NEVER HAPPENED OK! OT NEVER HAPPEND!!! *cries in corner*

The Oda Strategy: if at first you don't win, then just throw *more peasants* at them.
They are basically conscripts for the Astra Militarum :D
Slightly trained peasants with good spears.
that's literally the opposite of his strategy IRL he had one of the few armies entirely comprised of professional in Japan something that gave him a huge edge over the peasant armies of some of his rivals
Me: mom, we need phalanx formation
Mom: we already phalanx formation at home
Phalanx formation at home: the god damn yari wall
Ayeeeeeeeeeee ;)
aha. my first heroic victory was 1-5 as oda with peasant musket men. nothing more terrifying then the number of guns. vs the lesser number of trained samurai
This game will always have the best animations and the best feel of any total war game
Just that feeling when a cannon gets off that amazing hit litterally barreling the cannonballs through the enemy line
Takeda: we have the most superior cavalry
Oda: I’m about to end this man’s whole career
Nagashino in a nutshell
You love to see it!
Pretty much aha
@@Pilps I suggest that you may need to make some "Historical battle experience"
Plus with muskets sandwich
I would like to add side notes for this, Owari people in particular was not a warlike folk, they were weak compared to people in places like Kai, Satsuma and Echigo, and so Nobunaga chose to utilise his economical advantage, that this having one of the most fertile plains in Japan, and the size of army it can support. Don't mistake me, Oda was not the only clan that focus on ashigaru, in fact everyone does that, especially Chosokabe, but it was Nobunaga that utilise the numerical advantage.
So what ya saying is.... the Oda was just one great big WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH??
Japanese Traveller: What is your stance on the traditional katana and tachi swords?
Oda Nobunaga: NO.
Pike and shot warfare *IS BEST WARFARE*
The blood of commoners we will conquer all of Chin- I mean Japan.
Heh heh ;)
The idea of the 300 having a line of cannons behind them manned by Oda samurai is the single most epic thing I have seen today.
hehe that cute. in theory it work but when ur facing doom stack samurai armies with alot of archers, ur tightly packed yari wall will just get deleted in a blink of a eye
