Oda Nobunaga: The First Unifier of Japan (Japanese History Explained)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Oda Nobunaga didn't start out as the fearful and respected clan leader that he was known for. But instead, he was a 'weird' child who showed no signs of being a capable leader at all. That would soon change though when one of his father's closest retainers committed Seppuku, shocking Nobunaga into fulfilling his destiny in unifying Japan under his rule.

Oda Nobunaga was a trail blazer, Japan would have spread it's influence faster if he survived n became Shogun. Also his work as a administrator was amazing.
nah. Nobunaga never want to become a shogun, it's an old ancient title that he considered 'failed' if we looking back at Minamoto and Ashikaga shogunate., all the things that Nobunaga wants is to make a new world order in japan, abolishing the relic of the past. he's a child of revolution,that's why he so fixated with the foreign culture and tech. Some historian said that Nobunaga was born a few decades too early.
Radhite Aji I thought he couldn’t become Shogun, because his father was a magistrate and, like Hideyoshi, he couldn’t trace his lineage to a noble family. Tokugawa Ieyasu could trace it to the Minamoto (If I am not mistaken) so that is why he was the only one of the three unifiers of Japan who actually became Shogun.
@@macrebs4484 Wasn't Toyotomi effectively shogun even moreso that Tokugawa, in anything but name?
Mateusz Jokiel Shogun is a title and it’s one neither Oda Nobunaga nor Toyotomi Hideyoshi were allowed to use due to their lineage.
Although both were powerful enough to claim it if they could.
As for the latter part of your comment, I don’t really get what you mean.
They all build on each other’s success, which each one being more powerful than the one before them.
Tokugawa was in the end the most powerful. More powerful than Nobunaga or Toyotomi ever was.
@@macrebs4484 It's a title, yes, but one that accompanies a position of power. Oda and Toyotomi didn't hold the title de iure, but de facto they were the ones in power. They were shogun, just not in name.
What I meant is that it was Toyotomi who layed the foundation of Japan's later legal and tax systems, and Tokugawa really only built upon his predecessor. He was more powerful, yes, but I'd say Toyotomi had more achievements to his name.
I'm also largely unsure of everything above. My knowledge of the Sengoku period is very brief, hence the question mark :p
Oda Nobunaga is the reason I got into Japanese history
The reason I wanted to learn about samurai when I started playing ghost of tsushima
Guess who i named my chan from?
Miyamoto Musashi
Same. He is too based for japanese.
They can't handle his pure swagger
@@mat7083 The best Swordman of our Country
He was ruthless but efficient clan leader, had a vision and ambition beyond anyone else at the time, fascinated with europe, portugal and spain in particular, wanted to use their knowledge to bring japan into world stage as a power to be reckoned with.
Why teach a child through words when you could do it via seppuku.
On a more serious note though, shortly after Akechi Mitsuhide killing Nobunaga at Honnoji, he was unable to obtain support, and as a result was quickly defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Mitsuhide's reign was so short in fact, it had resulted in inspiring the term "mikkatenka", which means "3 day reign", needless to say, this term is commonly used to ridicule and insult people. It would seem that at the end of the day, Nobunaga would have the last laugh, as while he became respected as the First Unifier of Japan, and Mitsuhide essentially became a laughing stock.
straight up I think he was a god among men
I knew he was a great leader but I didn't know he was a 3000 v 25000 good
Haha, yeah I found that pretty shocking too xD
Nobunage is a military genius, he was able to defeat the 25000 Imagawa troop by separating them apart. In truth, Nobunage only faced 5000 Imagawa. The rest of the force were scattered fighting Oda retainer on castle. Record deferred, in another accord Yoshimoto actually escape but got stuck on mud because his heavy armour and then got kill by Oda vanguard.
One thing we should had it in mind is that the majority of the military of medieval Japan was made up with armed peasants, they would often abandoned their post once the battle looks bad for their side. So, while it's still impressive, the number is not that definite a factor.
T2266 Oda only face 5000 Imagawa force. When Yoshimoto died, they fled,
I have been a collector of Japanese swords for over 30 years now, and am the proud owner of a katana made by Oda Nobunages favourite swordsmith ju mihara Masakiyo , it still fills me with awe whenever I handle it , it may have been Oda,s personal sword ,or made for someone in his army that greatly impressed him , either way he would have held this sword at some point and that just blows me away.
Ikemen Sengoku brought me here; this is the route I chose.
same sis/bro
Same.
Nope I chose kenshin
cv Tomkazu Sughita
Saammmeeee!!
Still my favorite Daimyo of feudal Japan. I even have a samsung galaxy case with the oda clan crest
Same
He is cool but what he did to mitsuhide was really messed up
@@kel1660 yea I didn't expect that.
I like Nagamasa Azai 😔 If he never betrayed Nobunaga hm
Toyotomi loyalist here
Not only that it was stated that he had a friend who was black(African slave of a Dutch man) and made that friend and samurai it was even said that he would make that friend a lord too
Yasuke the Black Samurai
Anti- Matter that is so cool
Yep, the black samurai actually fought for Oda as part of his guard before he was forced to commit Seppuko. He then lost his rank and title because the betrayer hated him.
His name was Yasuke the real Black Samurai and the only foreign Samurai . But the movies depicted Tom Cruise as the foreign Samurai . African achievements are historically overlooked or washed over , but if we say so suddenly we're called angry or told to get over it !
I always liked Oda Nobunaga lol
“ITS. JUST. THAT. SIMPLE.”
"Is that sooo~?" I was just about to say that too, you could say that it's "What _I_ desired!"
Hahah i remember him saying that i missed the game 😆
Samurai Warriors 2 ❤
Awesome coverage on Oda Nobunaga. Another thing to note about Nobunaga and why he carried out mass executions/exterminations of families. From rivals etc that opposed him. He discovered early on from rivalries/feuds with his own family members etc. That to wipe out the entire family (spouse, children, etc). So, that noone can later come back and seek revenge or vengeance for their loved ones death. Or lay claim to their assets/inheritance. Pity he did not heed this in his altercation with his retainer Akechi Mitsuhide. Making a mockery of him and allowing his mother to be executed. Other than that he was a brilliant strategist. Great content Legend and love your video's brother! ;D
Yeah, I guess his arrogance got the better of him when dealing with Mitsuhide. If you think Nobunaga was bad when it came to wiping out families though, wait until you see Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the next video xD
The Legends of History I can't wait to hear you cover him brother!
Nobunaga loved Mitsuhide and he served Nobunaga really well together with Hideyoshi. There are many stories going on why Mitsuhide rebelled against Nobunaga so it is not sure if it was because of the execution of Mitsuhides mother/aunt.
But Nobunaga did spare the sons of his traitorous brother and raised them into vassals.
The story about Mitsuhide's mother is a ''setting'' created during the Edo period.
The first thing that interested me was his childhood. I think his foolishness and not sticking with only those in his social class was an effective way to learn the minds of various levels of society, so he'd know how nearly everyone thought. I think that's part of what gave him his mental fluidity and flexibility.
I don't think he's foolish even as a child. People of superior intellect are found to be weird in their childhood. Talk bout becoming one of the most successful unifiers of Japan
Ye man he reminds me of me, i cobquered 2 countries in one sitting
This is really well said! I agree wholeheartedly
The anime 'Drifters' is where I first became familiar with Oda Nobunaga. I love the way they portray him as a masterful tactician during the battles of the series. It also introduced me to how much of a monster he could be. I hope they come out with a season in the next couple of years. Anyone hit this comment up if you come across any news for a season 2 of Drifters, please? Oh, and great as always The Legends of History.
They won't be releasing a new season anytime soon since the manga progresses on such a very slow pace. They are, however, progressively releasing OVA's that supplement the main series. If you haven't checked them out yet, they got two additional episodes released, and I think there's also a third one underway.
Hell yeah, I became familiar with him from drifters and gintama. Now Japan's history intrigues me
Some general maps outlining territories lost and gained etc would be a nice addition, keep up the good work!
Excellent suggestion.
*watches this during their break for English class*
ENGURISHU!!!
@@DonPeyote420 all your base are belong to us
Oda Nobunaga was fearless and tacticful, but stupid enough to enrage his loyal right arm man. No matter how good the leader is, trust worthy allies are a must. That certainly sealed his defeat at the temple by his retainer. Nobunaga certainly learned that lesson in his next life.
He brought gun to a sword fight lol
Mind you, Nobunaga didn't really kill his uncle, historically speaking, his uncle just mysterious and conveniently died. Is it an assassination, could be, but we don't really know.
As for the brother, he wedged war again Nobunaga first, and Nobunaga did spared his sons.
13:40 Not the "first usage" of firearms, but the first massive systematic usage.
15:00 actually, it was Nobunaga's men who burned the place so that the traitors won't get their hand on Nubunaga's head as the proof of his death ( Claiming the enemy commander's head was very important in their time)
And Nobunaga's body was never found, which cost a lot of misinformation at the time, which was also one of the reason why nobody jump on borad with Akechi right away; it'd be more than awake if Nobunaga just show up latter alive won't it?
17:50 You also forgot to mention that he had a lot of good political innovation： lower import duties, encouragement of free market, professionalized military etc.
Also, about Azai clan, the leader Azai Nagamasa was Nobunaga's brother in law, he married Nobunaga's sister, and they had good relationship.
In fact Nobunaga wanted peace with him, only got backstab by Azai. Nobunaga not only tried to talk him into surrender while having the upper hand, he also latter spared Azai's wife and children.
@@T2266 well said, sir.
I love watching anime based on Nobunaga, they're always so fun and wacky, even the more historically accurate ones XD
Awwww don't worry I'm sure you'll be big on youtube soon! Don't forget me when you are~
Haha, thanks for your support bro!
He was an eccentric genius at war.
*laughs in Drifters*
Watch king of zipangu its a tv series about oda nobunaga and i admire nobunaga too
The Hunter x Hunter 2011 Dickriding Association any suggestions for Nobunaga anime? Preferably something historically accurate if possible.
Nobunaga was a brutal and ruthless man, but he was a product of a brutal and ruthless age. He was no worse than his fellow daimyos, and good things came from his rule.
First heard of him from Onimusha... great game
Orochi warriors?
nioh, yeah i know i'm late
Samurai Warriors
Thank you GiFu Massacure Onimusha
hell yea that’s my childhood
What I think about him? Complicated man. On one hand, open minded, tolerant of outsiders that didn't interfere, willing to engage in cultural exchange. On the other, bloodthristy, ruthless, dishonorable, and kind of seems like a right prick at times.
He was an amazing man, to be blunt, a great commander and administrator, had he survived, Japan would have spread influence far and wide at incredible speed. Overall, he's a great man, but he has very glaring flaws. Even so, I can't help but admire his drive and intelligence.
I never understood how so many consider Nobunaga Oda a villain or demon. He only did what he felt necessary for his time. When you’re trying to conquer a land (let’s face it, most of the other Daimyo were) you do what is necessary to gain and remain in control. Nobunaga started out as one of the most insignificant Daimyo of the time, he had to fight family and retainers to remain in control of his land, then surrounded by much more powerful and influential Daimyo. He fought and won most encounters which caused people to resent him and want him out of the picture. When you’re surrounded by enemies who want your head, what would you do? Sit and be nice about how you conquer or do you make statements and let everyone know what happens when you rally against you. There was an anti Nobunaga coalition to wipe him out because other Daimyo feared his growing influence. Although most can’t agree with all his actions they certainly had results. Anyway, great leader and tactician, throughout history, nearly all leaders killed and slaughtered in some form or another even though it’s not popular to talk about.
I agree with you 100% for the time he lived in and let's face it a bloody messy time. It's not like he was the only person to kill many. All daimyo had blood on their hands just like all kings in Europe no matter how good they were. It was a time of conquering, expanding, and war.
He said himself that he is the devil of the 6th heaven
@@danishhaikal2839 edgy phase.
The anti-Nobunaga coalition didn’t expect Hideyoshi and Ieyasu to pick up where Nobunaga had left off.
While we can condemn Oda as a bloodthirsty, ruthless, cruel warlord, one must also notvforget that many great warlords throught history are renowned to do the same he did. Razing entire cities to the ground, slaughtering innocents and religious people, murdering their own kin and allies...Think Phillipi, for example, Sagunt, Troy...the list is endess.
Again, thank you very much for this very detailed and informative insight into one of Japan's most famous historic figures.Truly a delight.
Exactly. Like many other well-known conquerors, they had to do what they had to do to make the world better. Everything has a price. It's kind of fascinating thinking about that era of Japan, imagine if any of the other warlords won instead. There could have been at least a thousand different versions of modern-day Japan. I think Japan had the largest array of possibilities?
Glad the video game, Samurai Warriors did not bs 100%. What I am hearing here is mentioned in the video game. Enjoyed the video. Love Japanese history!
I also played it my childhood game I remember coming home from school and playing it
I remember playing that game while growing up. I start playing it when I was in 5th grade.
@@seeyang9821 Cool Nobunaga was my main character I always picked
Even so, they get a lot of things wrong, but for a good reason.
Their main goal is obviously to entertain the players, so they twist a few timelines here and there.
For example: Yukimura Sanada was not at the battle of Nagashino. Dude was 8 at the time.
His father wasn't either I believe, but I know for sure that at least one of his uncles got killed there, possibly both.
You missed that Nobunaga forgave his family's treachery a few times before he finally had them killed for trying to depose him on multiple occasions
But fantastic how you expanded on Akechi Mitsuhide's reason for betraying Nobunaga
The Azai Clan’s head was a brother-in-law of Oda Nobunaga for he married his sister, Oichi. Since Nagamasa Azai betrayed Nobunaga, the Demon King of Owari decided to punish his estranged brother-in-law due to his treachery. Nobunaga does not tolerate treachery and he will kill traitors even if they are family members
*Who wants to joining the Oda's clan?*
Press like to joining the clan.
I’d rather join the Hyuga
Senju Clan
Good info. Ive always heard of Nobunaga's name since I was a kid through anime, videogames, movies, etc. and hes usually portrayed as some kind of villainous character. I can see why he would be perceived that way
He was a villian for seemingly the right reasons. However I can't tell if he wanted unification for power or for peace. That we may never know
This man was a true badass
awesome and informative as always. to me Nobunaga sounds like a revolutionary and the trailblazer though he may have been a bit bloodthirsty
Yeah, I agree! Thanks for watching :)
Desperate times call for desperate measures
Most this is bs, I study japanese military history
I think he was the most successful of the three unifies. He did most of the heavy lifting and beat bigwigs like yoshimoto and went toe to toe with legends like Kenshin and shingen.
In the historic manga, they have him as the son in law of lord of mino. I think date masumune, but this is unlikely since ur video said date is younger than him.
The lord of Mino and Oda's father in law is Saito Dosan get your facts straight
Date Masamune was a teenager when Nobunaga died.
Nobunaga was married to the daughter of Saito Dosan of Mino. But his daughter wasn’t the mother of Nobunaga’s children as she couldn’t conceive.
Date is the lord of kyushu, not mino
@@danielbudiono7232 not kyushu. Date is from Eastern Japan, Eastern Honshu more precisely, near Hokkaido. Kyushu is on the opposite side, far west, and the controlling clans there where the Shimazu and Otomo.
Oda Nobunaga is my hero.
same. greatest leader of all time
He was.... Complex.
The Okehazama battle is proof that Nobunaga was meant to rule Japan
There are some much theories and speculations on Oda Nobunaga's death. Furthermore, his corpse was never found even after the castle was set ablaze.
Great video. Really enjoyed it. Ready for Hideyoshi after this.
I like the haiku written about the top 3 shogun and their personalities. The one below is in reference to Nobunaga
なくぬんら
殺してしまえ
ホトトギス
If the hototogisu bird doesn’t sing kill it.
He was a short man with a high pitched voice with a Napoleon complex.
Feel the Demon King's embrace.
Real talk: Take a look at those pictures. See that facial hair? That physics-defying billowing cloak with the 2 foot tall popped collar? This man was Samurai Dracula. #Facts
Dracule Mihawk lol
Very informative. I enjoyed this very much. I read someone else's comment. I agree I would like to see a video on Sanada Yukimora. I think that's how you spell it. Also was the entire Aketchi clan whipped out.
What video? This was Samurai HD Wallpapers...coupled with a reading of Wikipedia.
None of you seem to actually appreciate the culture. Just more of the useless video game generation. Maybe go outside.
@@yousircantknow8987 I have more important things to worry about raising my kids taking care of my family than care about Your opinion of me.
''Sanada Yukimura''
"Samanosuke..." "NOBUNAGA!"
That was great really cool 😎. Nobunanga seemed to live by the code of “Better to be feared than loved.” But as Niccolo Macaveli said “Never be so feared that you are hated, they ( people) will eliminate you.”ℹ️💯✅❤️👌🏿👍🏿☯️😎
Mitsuhide definitely has reason to rebel. Nobunaga always despised Mitsuhide's Confucius way of only use violence as the absolute last resort. Indeed, Nobunaga view Mitsuhide's Confucian belief as an excuse for his cowardice. Therefore, Nobunaga being his usual arrogant self, took upon himself to man up Mitsuhide. As a result, Nobunaga publicly humiliates Mitsuhide all the time about his beliefs and style of politics. Supposedly, the land forfeiting is simply Nobunaga's latest attempt to force Mitsuhide to embrace ruthlessness. Specifically, Nobunaga ordered Mitsuhide to take command of a sizable army to reinforce and take down Mori clan. However, again, Nobunaga being Nobunaga, decided to confiscate all Mitsuhide's land holdings and force Mitsuhide to march to battle with his entire household and either conquer Mori land and claim all of it with the blessing of Nobunaga or die with his entire household beneath the walls of Mori castles, and we all know what happens next.
I think Nobunaga's death was caused by his own arrogance and misjudgment of characters. He really wished Mitsuhide to be a younger version of him because he himself will welcome the zero sum challenge and enjoy the sensation of high stake military campaign. In fact, I think Nobunaga sees this as his attempt to promote Mitsuhide as the Mori land holdings were much greater than Mitsuhide's land holdings and the Oda army Nobunaga entrusts Mitsuhide for the campaign is well equipped for the job especially when they join force with Toyotomi Hideyoshi who already started siege of Mori clan. But, alas, Akechi Mitsuhide is not Oda Nobunaga and he can't be whipped into becoming one.
Indeed, forcing his accolades to zero sum sink or float situation is Nobunaga's usual leadership style. The first significant non-sandal bearer mission Nobunaga give Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a much worse deal: successfully build a fort within assault range of an enemy's castle with a skeleton crew for protection or don't come back alive. To be fair though, Nobunaga is also generous in rewarding his subordinates: Nobunaga immediately rewarded Toyotomi Hideyoshi by granting him half of the conquered the land and the right to upgrade his front line fort to a full castle under his name as soon as the aforementioned front line fort served its purpose as a staging point for siege which practically lifted Toyotomi Hideyoshi then a common servant to a lord of a castle overnight
:)
Another thing is that Mitsuhide was also a major xenophobe. He hated the idea of Christians entering Japan and spreading their faith and wanted them all dead. I don't know if Totoyomi also hated Christians but he was more than happy to throw them under the bus to secure power essentially declaring that the Buddhists could kill any Christians they could find. And betray his fellow comrade and retainer for years a black slave to the Portugese once Nobunaga died. Selling him to slavery in order to get rid of a rival.
@@aliastheabnormal Irionic, Mitsuhide's wife was a Christian and he even named his daughter Gracia (Grace).
Younger version? Mitsuhide was older than Nobunaga.
A fair point. It is also rumored that Nobunaga killed Mitsuhide's sister/relatives and for this, Mitsuhide always held a grudge on Nobunaga. Truly, Nobunaga saw Mitsuhide as the brother he never had, as someone he would like by his side when he'd go around accomplishing his ambition. As you stated, whipping someone into becoming something else is not the way to go through it, but reading through your comment I can only see Nobunaga had good intentions for Mitsuhide.
He ridiculed Mitsuhide on his way of thinking because it might have been shallow and short-minded, seeing only a few steps ahead instead of the wide view Nobunaga had. Why then would he trust him with his retainers so, if he did not care for him? I think Mitsuhide realised this in the end, but Nobunaga wanted to go out with a bang and commited seppuku anyway.
Nobunaga is the greatest warrior i’ve ever met
Great vid bro
Thanks man!
How many people still play Shogun Total War?
Anime. DRIFTERS
dhgodzilla1 shogun 2 is my favorite total war in terms of gameplay
Hey GMK Godzilla do you play Samurai Warriors?
The demon king of sixth heaven
Drifters-
I'm here cause of the otome game, then the manga then that one episode in Detective Conan he was mentioned
former figure skater Nobunari Oda（織田信成）is a descendant of Oda Nobunaga.
Nobunaga would be like "From great strategists and valiant warriors to Ice twirler. How far have we fallen?"
@@sinistermephisto65 Considering Nobunaga loved festivals, sumo wrestling, and dancing, I doubt he'd react like that.
@@Seraphil1 What is the correlation? 0%
@@sinistermephisto65 100%. Nobunaga was a lover of the arts and culture, and these flourished under his rule. He himself partook in dance and sports, and would have appreciated figure skating as an art, not speak of it in such a disdainful way as you claim.
@@Seraphil1 Why did he not become an actor? I can enjoy watching something. doesn't mean i want to partake in its creation. More over it was the Confucius culture of the time to pretend to be into arts an what not. They also provided opportunities for diplomatic meetings
I like Mitsuhide. He was just avenging his mum like a good boy
too bad most movies, anime presenting him as very despicable figure
I hate him. Good thing he died rather quickly
@@TaigaXsenpai The reason for that is because he actually usurped Nobunaga's position after killing him.
He even became Shogun for 13 days.
So theres the argument that he killed Nobunaga for personal gain, which makes him an ass.
If he would've killed Nobunaga, spared his son Nobutada and surrendered to him without a fight, he would've become a martyr instead.
Oda nobunage is one favorite antihero
Age of Samurai brought me here.
tsao tsao approves of this man
Cao Cao and Nobunaga are gonna be best friends unless Nobunaga decides to ditch him first
I never realized how historically accurate the samurai warriors games actually are
I’m here after Ikemen Sengoku 🤣
Oh damn you. I play that game too
Same lmao
Excellent!
3:29 talks about Imagawa clan with a pic of takeda army. hmmmmmmm
The fakeout to ambush while they are intoxicated during a storm is genius. Oda Nobunaga thinks like a winner.
Anyone ever play Nobunaga's Ambition? Great strategy game from the early 90s
Love your videos !
Akechi Mitsuhide and Takeda Shingen docs would be good.
Every time I see the name Nobunaga my mind reads Nobunga and I laugh for 3 minutes straight.
7:03 my boy was going through some things
This video was interesting and informative and I liked the art and music, but a few maps wouldn't go amiss, just to give a bit more context
Only one who could’ve beaten Nobunaga in battle was Takeda Shingen.
Nahhh m8, uesugi kenshin
@@russellalexanderyim8623 Mate, Uesugi Kenshin was a great general, no doubt, but he was nowhere near the level of Takeda Shingen or Oda Nobunaga.
And b'coz of this great video im going to continue reading Drifters later~
He has a lot of parallels to Tywin Lannister honestly
More like Stannis the Mannis. Although with more child murder.
I am so happy you are doing one of my favorite periods in history. Can't wait for your hideyoshi vid. Also hope you plan to do musashi soon.
Interestingly, this guy has appeared as a Boss in a few video games... more specifically ADK’s Neo Geo games. Most notably:
Ninja Commando (boss of Ancient Japan Era)
Ninja Master’s (final boss of the game as a whole)
Nobunaga back then:
Nobu now: WASHI JA !
you good man of im new here but nice content im gonna use this for my history lesson and this story helped me remember some of the parts i forgot thanks bro
Oda nobuna no yabou, anyone?
I absolutely so proud to have be born in the same month and day as Oda Nobunaga. Who else is born on 23 of June?
I like how Takeda dies from a new disease in every show I see and every source I read.
We cannot know what disease it was that actually killed him for sure. Shingen's health had been declining for some time. Plus, disease is a much more likely reason than the one in a million single sniper shot from a matchlock at quite a long range.
Pls make Oda and ranmaru's relationship aswell... They are my fav in japanese history..
Onimusha anyone?
Loved The game series. Had all of them. At one now I don't though😢😢😢
Warlords was my favorite. Just caught a re release this month. 20$ on ps store or steam.
Samurai warriors series brought me here
Dude sounds like a villain. Killing his friends own mom then shaming him. Holy shit.
Best civ 5 leader.
Oda Nobunaga was crazy
He Was A Great Man
Bobby O I agree
"armor of a shogun, Oda Nabunaga. This is some serious loot gang, load up!"
And now he's a waifu
he's also a husbando to so many otome games.
He is a wifu
Souse
@Kritz Cake I was asking the name of the show
Why am I watching all these lol great content
At the honnoji Temple Oda Nobunaga was actually wounded, and stayed at the temple for recovery because it was the closest, and Mitsuhide attached during the night, surrounded the temple by his men and using fire tip arrows to burn it, 50 top swordsmen, 70 skilled archers, 30 proficient gunmen, 40 Lancers, 4 generals were standing guard of the temple, Nobunaga knew that he would have died, and was standing as the rear guard while the remaining soldiers and generals continued the unification, at first he was shocked to see Mitsuhide, but they clashed blades, he with a wounded shoulder (it was his left shoulder, and he was left handed) and Nobunaga a hole in the stomach, barely alive he saw his son die in his eyes and with his last breath he said that he would come back and kill him, as Mitsuhide cut off his head and brought it to the ones in charge for Mitsuhide's actions....
Which: For the head of his Lord, he would be promised a great portion of the Oda territory including his own, and among the ranks of one of the anti-nobunaga clans (I think it was the Mori clan since Mitsuhide was supposed to aid Hideyoshi, but I'm not sure) but they wouldn't let a traitor join so, Mitsuhide faked his death, and become a traveling Monk (I think he went by the name Tsumokawa Hiroshi, I don't remember) and in 1589/1592 passing by the miyamoto region, he helped an orphan slave brought him to a temple and renamed him Musashi, Miyamoto Musashi and taught him swordsmanship by the time Musashi was 12, he asked the Monk about his injured arm, Mitsuhide told him about it, but was shocked that Musashi knew in details that Mitsuhide never said, and also revealed his true name, afterwards Musashi killed him
8:30 Tenka Fubu actually translates to Conquer the World!
Gentle Pirate It means “the realm under a single sword” or something along those lines.
I’m a big fan of Nobunaga. Even if he did unite Japan he couldn’t have the title of Shogun since he didn’t descend from the Kamakura family but that wouldn’t matter to him because that was only a title and Nobunaga didn’t care about things and people so as long as there was merit in something or someone.
Melkor pointed me here, but I'm not a Melkor fan despite youtube trying it's best.
As someone who learned Japanese history mostly from Shogun Total War & Shogun 2 10 odd yrs later. I'm only here because of 1 burning question that has been with me ever since I beat Shogun Total War all those years ago.
I just don't understand why do people don't even talk about Tokugawa despite being the unifier. People seems to love talking about the Oda, Takeda, Uesugi, Date, & maybe some Shimazu every now & then. I was here trying to look into why people seems to love Takeda Shingen so much, the only thing I seems to find is that because the rivalry between him & Uesugi Kenshin was fun to talk about.
Anyone care to elucidate?
They might as well have been called the "Nobu" family since they all seem to have that at the beginning of their name.
It can’t be helped!
Oda Nobunaga though ruthless, was a brilliant leader and a great man. It's unfortunate he got betrayed before he fulfilled his goal. Good thing that kumquat sore loser got killed right after.
10/10 will roll for both Oda in FGO
"Lord NobuNAGA"!
Even with all the wrongdoings I just can't help but love this guy my favorite daimyo during the warring states period....Mitsuhude's a punk lol
Mitsuhide did a power grab
"A man's life is only 50 years"
Dies at 48 years old
Clearly way ahead of you then.
I heard about him on inuyasha and omnimusha xD and nioh
Every anime I go I hear this man's name
I love how ninja are supposedly conniving backstabbers and samurai are " honorable " because history is written by samurai retainers mostly in Japan... but holy crap samurai were mostly noble cowards. Most of their best warriors were either warrior monks that strayed from the temple, peasants turned soldier and adopted into the ranks because " I want that peasant. " - or the RARE exceptional noble. Is in one in ten thousand rare. That's bad. Same for European knights, honestly. Such a goofy system. Honestly could you imagine how horrifying their forces would have been if they trained peasants from childhood to wield bows, katanas or just a tanto at the very least? Doesn't have to be their beloved katanas. It could just be a peasant's blade also meant for slashing.
Watching some Sekiro videos led me here and all I can think of is "Hesitate is defeat"
Nobunaga's Ambition anyone?
I wonder if he played a part in Kuivara's(from legend of korra) character inspiration
You gotta do yasuke now it’s only right
