- 📜 Warring States Japan: Sengoku Jidai - Part 1 - Extra History
The Onin War tore Japan apart but also kicked off the Sengoku Jidai or Warring States Period that's a seminal part of Japanese history. The power of the shogun dissolved and regional clan leaders or daimyo fought for control of the country. In the mid-16th century, near Kyoto, a clan called the Matsudaira found itself pinched between two great rivals: the Oda and the Imagawa. Abducted as a hostage by the Oda, the scion of the Matsudaira clan (the young Tokugawa Ieyasu) grew up to fight alongside of the Imagawa when he was released. Their combined forces threatened to destroy the entire Oda clan, but Oda Nobunaga had a different idea. They clashed at the Battle of Okehazama.

"Eventually, Nobunaga would grow bored of conquering Japan and instead spend his time raising Pokémon."
Underrated
O it’s funny
I dont get it
@@Karlss61 They are referring to Pokemon Conquest. A collab game between Koei Tecmo's Sengoku Musou (Samurai Warriors) and Nintendo's Pokemon. Where the characters of Sengoku Musou, like the aforementioned Oda Nobunaga, team up with Pokemons.
@@mdbr2 Some Pokemon/Warlord combos include Nobunaga/Zekrom, Hideyoshi/Reshiram, Iyeasu/Aggron, etc
Fun fact: many of the clan families are still around today, some of them having made the transition from landholding warlords to captains of industry, and some just blending into the general populace.
Tokugawa Tsunenari, born in 1940, heads the Tokugawa Foundation, dedicated to preserving historical artifacts. His son went to U. Mich and is now a translator.
Oda Nobunaga's direct descendant Oda Nobunari represented Japan in figure skating at the Vancouver Olympics.
very cool to see, I love to see remnants of clans and tribes still around in the modern era.
Similarly in somalia, many tribes from the medieval period still exist and even still function relatively in the same way.
Unfortunately this leads to some discrimination but its still cool to see tribes that were once known for dominating nearby regions or going toe to toe with european powers still exist.
Happened with lords in the uk, the decedents of medieval lords eventually became annoying pigs
@@joshme3659 so they didn’t change a bit
Kanako Date a descendant of Masamune Date was miss japan in 2018
It probably helps that most of the surviving daimyo were awarded Westernized peerages following the Meiji Restoration, making their lineages easier to trace
This whole historical arc is so dramatic and entertaining that it feels fictional, which makes its truth EVEN COOLER
This is why I say many history teachers are bad at their jobs, and the curriculum they have to teach isn't well designed.
History is amazing, and often more fantastical than fiction. The Sengoku Jidai. Bismarck. The bird-mania that happened after Augustus defeated Antony. The Dancing Mania, when people literally danced until they dropped dead of exhaustion. The battles of Alesia, or Cannae, or Zama, or anything that Bellisarius did. The pyramids. The Roman's self-repairing concrete that lasts centuries that we only figured out how it works in 2023. Admiral Sun Yi Sun-sin.
If people say history is boring, it's because they were taught it by someone who had lost their passion for it, because history is littered with the most incredible stories.
History classes in school should be designed to get kids interested and excited about learning it.
“We were born in order to die!” is one of the greatest historical quotes of all time.
i like that quote cuz it makes sense cuz i mean people were kinda born so they could die later
People make all these frantic efforts to stay alive and safe, just to end up dead later. Might as well go out with *GLORY*
Wow he's ordering his own army to die now?
The battle of Okehazarma is a classic example of Sun Tzu.
1.) Use a small force to distract while your main force attacks.
2.) Use the terrain to your advantage.
3.) He who controls the battle, wins victory.
“The opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.”
Sun Tzu, the man who taught Chinese nobility such strategy as 'you need supply routes' and 'avoid battles you are certain to lose' and 'consider lying'.

@Robert Walpole
It's time for Who's Going To Be The Next Shogun? Usually it's the shogun's kid, but the shogun doesn't have a kid, so he tries to get his brother to quit being a monk and be the next shogun. He says okay, but then the shogun has a kid. So now who's it gonna be? Vote now on your phones! And everyone voted so hard, that the palace caught on fire and burned down. (Onin War) The shogun actually didn't care, he was somewhere doing poetry. And the whole country broke into pieces. (Sengoku Jidai) Everyone is fighting with each other for local power, and it's anybody's game. Knock knock, it's Europe. No, they're not here to take over (yet). They just wanna sell some shit. Like clocks. And guns. And ♫ Jesus ♫ So that's cool, but everyone's still fighting each other for control, now with guns. And wouldn't it be nice to control the capital, which right now is puppets, with no one controlling them. This clan (Imagawa) is ready to make a run for it. But first, they have to trample this smaller clan (Oda) which is in the way. Surprise! Smaller clan wins, and the leader of that clan (Oda Nobunaga) steals the idea of invading the capital, and invades the capital. It goes very well. He's about halfway through conquering Japan, when someone who works for him kills him. And then someone else who works for him (toyotomi hideyoshi) kills him. And that guy finishes conquering Japan. And then he confiscated everybody's swords. And made some rules. "And now I'm going to invade Korea, and then hopefully China," he said, and failed, and also died. But before he died, he told these 5 guys to take care of his 5 year old son until he's old enough to be the next ruler of Japan. And the 5 guys said "Yeah, right. It's not gonna be this kid, it's gonna be one of us. Because we're grownups. And it's probably gonna be this guy (tokugawa ieyasu) who happens to be way more rich and powerful than he others. A lot of people support him, but a lot of people support not supporting him. They have a fight. He wins! And starts a new government right here. ♫ Edo ♫ And he still lets the emperor dress like an emperor, and have very nice things. But don't get confused, this is he new government, and they are very strict. So strict, they closed the country.

Small nitpick, but this technically isn't a Catch-22 situation, but a Morton's fork.
A catch-22 is a situation where you have to do A to do B, but A requires you already done B. For example, you have a locked chest with a fragile figure in it. You need the figure. The key to the chest is in the chest. To open the chest (A) you need the key (B) but the only way to get the key (A) is to open the chest (B). All requirements for success have interlocking requirements that make it impossible to move forward.
Morton's Fork, on the other hand, is a situation where all choices lead to the same or similar conclusion, but for different reasons. You still need the figure intact. The key isn't in the chest, but on a pressure sensitive plate. If you remove the key from the plate, the trap will trigger, and a boulder will smash the chest. If you don't grab the key, then you can't get the figure out of the chest, while if you do grab the key, the figure will be in a million pieces (and no, you do not have the skill or the glue to put it back together). Same result, different reasons.

Kippoushi (Nobunaga's childhood name) is said to have often played with the hostage Takechiyo (Ieyasu's childhood name) during his days of captivity in Owari. This probably played a big part in both sides suing for peace when they did.

I'm loving Extra History so far!!!!! Another good topic for another series would be the War of the Roses. Or even a non-war topic like the Renaissance or Industrial Revolution? Or perhaps do a focus on an individual in history like Columbus, Caesar Augustus, or Savonarola. Extra History has incredible potential to cover anything in history AND MAKE IT INTERESTING to those of us who had difficulty finding interest when we were first taught.
+1 for War of the Roses!
War of the Roses would be a good one, as would the War of the Three Kingdoms.
What I'd really like to see, the birth of Quantum Physics. It starts with Max Planck thinking about how to make a better light bulb, and ends with america building the bomb to take down the nazis. The characters in the story, a huge mix of wildly different personalities, all came together despite often having seriously divergent opinions on all manner of topics.
Columbus was not nearly as important as the textbooks make him. Actually his role in discovering America was pretty insignificant. Not exactly sure why American textbooks leeched onto him as the discoverer of the new world...
Savonarola? They should do a video on the Borgias. Makes for a better show.
According to the game "Nobunaga's Ambition: Sphere of Influence" during his time as a hostage in Owari, Tokugawa Ieyasu recognize Oda Nobunaga right away when they met for the first time because of how "dopey" Nobunaga looks.

I admit Sengoku Jidai is one of the history I really look forward to learn.
Since I've played Samurai Warriors, of course. heehee!
The Battle of Okehazama is one of those iconic battles. Surely this totally describes both Nobunaga Oda's leadership, wits, cunning, and his ruthlessness to slaughter all of the Imagawa clan, thus earning his reputation.
Oh god, I just realized that I know nothing about history of continents other than Europe (and maybe N. America).
***** THat's kinda because Europe fucked with the history of every place in the world to a degree.
***** Because 'murica is heavily influenced by Europe, more than most countries.
*****
Well aside from the fact that they've had fights with just about every european countries. I mean the US sttll makes fun of the French for Surrendering in WW2 never mind that France had still not recovered from WW1. Then there's the whole thing with the british.you know former colony and all that.
ehh in my classes I learned a lot about both Americas and Europe, a lot of the middle east and just a little bit about africa and east asia.

Wow I feel like this came out yesterday
Hello there! A friend recommended I watch this last night, and I had to say the 9 minutes of this video went by in the blink of an eye! About to binge your entire sengoku jidai list :D
Brilliant work!
Lovely episode, but I have a few quips: 1) I feel like Nobunaga's the most interesting of the 3 Unifiers and should have been given a lot more focus; 2) Motoyasu (Ieyasu) and Nobunaga already met prior to their alliance--they were childhood friends and practical considerations aside, that little fact played a considerable part in their partnership, and 3) The Oda...wasn't that powerful of a clan. Owari was just small province, and Nobuhide and Nobunaga's military leadership aside, no one believed the Oda ever stood a chance against a clan as powerful as the Imagawa...until Okehazama happened and Nobunaga pursued his vision of conquest. (The man was as ballsy and brilliant as he was brutal and eccentric.)
I too feel like they didn't give Nobunaga the credit he deserves, It seems like they have already decide to show Ieyasu as the ultimate badass in the era.....but in reality? He was a bastard, a cold murderer of his own sons sending them to their doom and a kidnapper. Nobunaga? He was called "the fool of Owari" and that move on the imagawa prove the land he was SERIOUS BUSSINESS
Luis Aguilar Well to be fair, Ieyasu did care about the people and ruled with that idea in mind. He was still a brutal warlord--don't get me wrong, but he genuinely was a badass figure who led an amazing life.
Unfortunately, compared to Nobunaga and Hideyoshi...his story kinda pales in comparison.
I mean let's just take Nobunaga for example:
Nobunaga was a recognized military genius who didn't really think the same way as most Japanese nobles. He didn't care much for rank or bloodlines or titles, seemed to have been contemptuous of gods and deities when most held that they should at least be respected, had a comparatively laid-back (and meritocratic) ruling style, promoted and improved trade, opened a tax-free market zone near his castle, his bodyguards and lieutenants are oftentimes composed of the same peasant brats he played (and wrestled) with as children ; he sang and danced whatever the hell he wanted to, did his own thing despite the amount of constant criticism he gets on a daily basis (as well as the general belief before Okehazama that he was a self-indulgent simpleton), was very receptive to new and novel ideas (especially in regards to the west) invented new battlefield tactics (especially in the deployment of firearms), and was probably a bisexual. The man, by all accounts, was REALLY, REALLY WEIRD...which of course means that a lot of time people misunderstand him (like with the gold-plated skull episode), and because of his own eccentricities, the way he responds to these misunderstandings was often quite odd as well: when people began calling him "Dairokuten Maou" (Demon King of the Sixth Heaven) after the Mt. Hiei episode, he seemed to have taken a liking to it and adopted it for himself. Part of the reason he got such a bad reputation was because he challenged and flat-out antagonized much of the common-held values of his time and a lot of people saw him as a violent reformer. And of course, because of the Hiei scenario, the monks understandably didn't like him. And they were the ones doing most of the writing.
The man embodied the unpredictable nature of the times, was both hero and villain to most of his contemporaries, and at least for me, he also embodies a few delightful traits of the Japanese people: innovation and a special love for novelty. His reputation is recovering in more recent portrayals of him in Japan partly because I feel that because of modern Japan's very rigid and conservative (and frankly disillusioning) social structure, he now represents the new generation's (romantic) desire to reform and change their country--to "take their fate into their own hands", "to go against the old world" and to "prove themselves after being underestimated" like Nobunaga did, and also because the younger Japanese people are, like him, generally more open to foreign concepts than their predecessors, and now see the wisdom in his policies and his adoption of foreign ideas. In many ways, he's become the spirit of Japanese counter-culture.
In other words, he was what Nitzche would call a superman, Ieyasu was nothing at his side. Meanwhile, Hideyoshi Hashiba was a peasant that rise from literally nothing and was too a weird man for the timw (he marry because of love, that was weird by its own means)
What do you expect from a pop-art inspired
He gets more focus in the next few parts. There are six parts of this series, so a
This is pretty cool. Having watched 'Shogun' as a kid and playing Kessen III (which follows the story of Nobunaga), this is all very interesting.
Also, the Matsudaira boy who was rescued by the Imagawa changed his given name to Motoyasu when he took over the Matsudaira clan. The Moto taken from "Yoshimoto Imagawa". When he allied with Nobunaga he changed his name to Ieyasu Tokugawa and remained one of Nobunaga's most faithful allies till his death.
Re: the second part... You're going to enjoy a moment a few scripts down the line ; )

Kessen III is a lot of fun, but if you want another excellent experience based on the era, you should try out the Nobunaga's Ambition series. More political than Kessen, but that's part of what makes this time period so interesting.

Currently playing Sengoku Basara 4 lol
As excellent as the new EC/EH episodes are, I still find myself missing the older era of the channel. Re watching them I can't quite pinpoint why as of yet, so maybe it's just nostalgia.
I binge watched these videos for 4 hours and I now know more about the history of the middle east and Asia than I ever learned in my highschool world-history classes.
Sengoku Jidai! So excited to see your take on this fascinating period. Already learning new things.
This has been an unbelievably good series on the Japanese feudal era ... I have been interested in it ever since falling in love with anime like Rourini Kenshin and Inu Yasha. The videos were terrifically informative and historically sound, a rare find for these days of psuedo-historical works. I have become a Patreon of #ExtraHistory. Looking forward to your work on the Panama Canal, one of the greatest achievements of the US, the Eastern Front in WWII, the Hundred Years war and the Crusades.

Thank you so much Extra Credits for telling the tales of one of my favorite periods of history. I'm a little disappointed that you guys decided not to follow the rivalry between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, but I love how you're following my other favorite daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Dude's a badass
Extra History is quickly becoming a cornerstone in a triumvirate of historical material amongst the things I watch and listen to online; alongside Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcasts and the vlogbrothers' Crash Course: World History, both of which I'd highly recommend if you liked this.
That's a hell of a spot for a show derived from video game discussion to find itself in - and I applaud the work of the Extra Credits crew for their efforts.
You folks are doing a great job - keep it up!
I really love your "story-telling" style for every video, and those cute animations too
Came back from the Netflix series to rewatch this masterpiece!!!
What Netflix series? Just curious
As much as I adore your work here, I'd love to know more of the reasons behind the clan wars. You guys mentioned, glanced over, almost, that the one who controls the Shogun controls Japan... But was it really that simple? It seems... thin...
Anyway, it's a really good episode, and I can't wait to see more of this series!
Neat job, guys!
Quote: "And whoever controls the Shogun, *at least in theory*, controls Japan."
I was thinking similar.I for one will be looking for more information on that I think. Something to do before the next one comes out.
Well, I *think* it's like this. The Shogunate is Japan's military leader, basically the only person with more authority then him is the emperor himself. If a clan could march on Kyoto, defeat the shogunate, and claim the title, they will be basically the military leader of Japan, thus kinda controlling it. It's basically a fight to become the alpha male of the pack of wolves. This information could be completely inaccurate though so please don't take my word for it.
Nogitsune
Actually, the Emperor was a figurehead for almost the entierity of Japan's history, unlike the one in China. The Shogun had much more real power than he did. The emeperor's role was as a spiritual and cultural leader, and he and his court spent most of their time on pointless rituals in the capital. Outward displays of status.
Only a few Emperors managed to break this mold.
Unahim
Enter Emperor Meiji, gunpowder and the Boshin Senso. It amazes me to this day that Japan turned from an almost medieval state to a fully modernised, armed nation almost entirely under his rule.

Reference to Total War catches on
One point for the recap correction in the end: Oba Nobunaga's kabuto doesn't have that crest. The sloped crest is of Date Masamune, from what I found Nobunaga had sort of a "standard" crest on his helmet.
Golden Age of Extra History
I love how a lot of these battles are won with cunning strategy, tricks, and tactics rather then just mindless brute strength and numbers.
Oda Nobunaga's character is one that is most outright hard to pin down. He's pragmatic to the point of eccentricity (for that time), yet always ready to expend resources (people) that aren't 100% at his disposal. He has vision and stratagem to spare, yet seems prone to take such incredible, high-stakes risks. Sometimes, I can't tell if he actually cares for his friends/family or if he sees them mostly as pawns. He was brilliant in his conquest and policies, yet ruthless was his reign. He's an interesting character of history to say the least.
Yesssss! New Extra History is always a great day! I've been looking forward to this series.
It has become some what of a tradition to rewatch this series once a year.
My history teacher showed us this channel, and the first videos we watched were the ones on the Byzantine Empire. I've always been interested in Japanese history, and this is a very good video. I can't wait to watch my Yasu-kun lead!

Wow, that`s amazing how interesting and useful this content may be due to the great explanation followed by the animation! Thanks a lot !!!
This video is a great intro to the Sengoku Jidai! Thank you!
I really must say, great job on all this. Me being a feudal Japan enthusiast can tell you sure did your research. Although to be honest, I'm not an expert on this, but great job!
One of my favorite historical periods. I hope you cover Masamune Date and Takeda Shingen, even if it's just a brief bit.

You know, I've got to say, these are a lot more engaging when you go in not knowing anything about the period. I'm actually glad I've put off learning about the particulars of ww1 and the sengoku period up til now, won't have the story spoiled :)
Boshin war, please?
I second this
yes please
I third this
Or....
Simon Bolivar.

Kamchatskiye PSYCHIC
It's their fault for letting their general die so early in the battle... Oda clans ashigaru spam defeated them.
Great video!
I can't believe this series is two years old now! I watched this when it came out and it doesn't feel like more than 6 months! Oh, time, there you go making fools of us all again.
On another note I'm getting in the mood for some Shogun 2 again.
I knew it, You played total war shogun 2. I KNEW IT.
And that is why Oda Nobunaga is also known as "The Fool".
Iggy!
He's also known as the Demon King
za foole, sand burst!!!
Michael Bandada Piccolo?
0:00. That opening jingle makes me so happy!
These videos honestly make me despite the educational system. I’ve learned so much more history in 2 days by watching your videos than I’ve ever done in school
this will be interesting, out of all of world history east asian is probably the one I know the least about as a whole.
MrBKainX I’m opposite of ya
Heads up everyone getting into this series! The last episode comment section was full of people who complained over not following the story with all them foreign names that "all sound the same", so here's the *three* names you need to remember:
*Nobunaga, Tokugawa,* and *Hideyoshi.*
Whatever happens in the video, listen for Nobu, Toku and/or Hide.
Those are your cues to pay attention, the other names are supporting characters that you may put to memory if you have enough attention span left for it, but don't bother if the lack of western names are already a struggle for you.
re watched this series again, I think this has to be my fifth time... good job guys, its is very well put together and I really enjoy your other videos too!! I have watch most historical videos at least twice lol
This content is amazing 💯💪
You have a real talent telling a story, I was holding my breath all the way. This was so fun and instructive. Thanks for sharing!
0:43 Damnit you're making me cry
Why the hell haven't I found this channel before? I just love it! Instant sub!
Dang I miss old Extra history like this
8:44: That's a whole new level of plot twist 0o0
a hundred years of ceaseless war?
the hundred year war in europe : that's my boy
So much detail here that I never knew!
nice explaination, Love it
I remember coming across a documentary about one of those leaders in the Tokugawa clan. They describe the guy as being a great political strategist. He was a good military too but he was able to figure out in this terrible time utilizing strategic diplomacy, politics, and setting up connections was important for him as much as military activities.
Mongol series, sengokou jidai, admiral of Korea, end of samurai, militarisation of Japan and the pearl harbour should be part of one playlist titled Japan cause and effect.
thanks for the fun video! it was well explained and fun to watch!
well... as soon as i heard oda nobunaga, i knew this was going to be VERY interesting.
I immediately sat up straight and said "Wait...NOBUNAGA?! I know that name. That's not a nice name. Shit's about to get REAL"
Extra Credits Do you have any websites or books that have more info on the Sengoku Period? Or the resources you used. Thanks
This helped me a lot with understanding the sengoku period! Also,, can you please do a kamakura and muromachi period if possible 💦
Great Video! I love the animations they are funny and the humor you put into them are on point...did you guys ever think about making a series for the Three Kingdoms period of China after the collapse of the Han Dynasty? It's similar to the Sengoku Jidai and full of amazing Characters...just a thought!
I'm having a REALLY hard time keeping track of the clans and the names. Hope it'll get better
just focus on the emblems
Play some Total War: Shogun 2 and you'll know them in no time :p
I think I was able to recognize most, if not all, "mon" shown this episode.
FreaperFTW Jandau85 Good points both. It's one of the best games in the series anyways, so it's worth a re-visit :)
