Watching your historical videos is the most efficent way to understand a specific period in mutiples different perspective, helped a lot for me in my studies. Thank you!
Portuguese first reached Japan in 1543, at Tanegashima. One of the commanders of the armada offered one local lord his own _arcabuz_ as a gift; later on, as the Japanese reproduced the weapon, it became known as the _Tanegashima Weapon_ - or simply a _Tanegashima_ . I remember during the 1990's a comemorative _Escudo_ coin was issued, to celebrate the arrival at Tanegashima.
Fernão Mendes Pinto tell us a bit of that story. Personally, I love Portuguese history from the occupation of Ceuta until losing trading posts to the evil Dutch.

Oda Nobunaga was sometimes surprisingly tricky in battle, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi basically brought his enemies to their knees with ease. This is partly because Nobunaga had laid the foundation for the unification of Japan, but hideyoshi was probably a true war genius. That's why his dementia in his later years was such a waste.
Who have the idea that cavalry charges could break a well fortified tanegashima gunners? Same thing happened to Mamluks during Ottoman conquest of Egypt.
Well, considering that early guns were sh*t at reloading, some of it consider that thing possible. Something that both Takeda clan and Mamluk Sultanate might think
Apparently visibility wasn't very good because it was raining and the Takeda had approached through foresty terrain but emerged pretty close to the Oda/Tokugawa lines and thought they could break them again like in a previous battle but Oda had learned new tricks and built palisades. So yeah, serious error of judgement. It's also worth noting that Katsuyori wasn't very experienced in both statesmanship and leading armies. He was the 4th son but the 1st one and intended heir had been involved in a lot against his father and let's just say Shingen wasn't a very forgiving person. Also unfortunately for the Takeda, they had lost quite a few important leaders like Shingens brother at the 4th battle of Kawanakajima against the Uesugi. In essence the clan was bled out by the constant conflict with the Uesugi and going on the offensive was a foolish and vainglory thing to do. Edit: Just checked something because it was nagging me in the back of my brain. Katsuyori was only acting leader of the Takeda, rulership was supposed to go to his son when he came of age. So he probably felt he had to prove something before that time.
@@Dfathurr The Takeda did not only think it possible, they had done it several times before at Mikatagahara. Well minus the fortifications and with superior numbers. And the Oda had far more experience in the use of firearms by the time of Nagashino. So the Takeda were making dsecisions based on past experience without realizing how much things had changed. Also rain was though to make gun powder weapons useless (and does in Shogun 2 IIRC, so maybe Katsuyori had played too much that) but the Oda had learned how to keep the gun powder dry and usable.
Back then muskets took a looong time to reload so they were confident on destroying them before they could shoot again, they had no way of knowing that Nobunaga had 3 lines of gunners who could keep firing constantly.
Katsuyori: Why can't we break them? We should be able to break their lines after firing. Nobunaga: If one fires while one reloads, then a continuous wave of fire can be achieved. The ways of the old are simply but the past. Mitsuhide: This...... is war? ** **
Nobunaga: "This battle is not only about victory or defeat. We must prove that our muskets are superior to the Takeda Cavalry." Keiji: "Who cares about winning in style? That's not why i fight". Nobunaga: We are waging war on history. Do you not understand that, samurai? Do not advance beyond the barricades. Tighten the defense! Lure the enemy in the open field - Alive!"
@@danialzidaneamarty8493 Not show, game. Samurai Warriors on the PS2, still probably my favorite Samurai Warriors game because of the fantastic voice acting compared to it sequels.
I should really load up Shogun 2 again one of these days. Due to the nature of the maps, it's one of the few Total War games where I don't absolutely HATE sieges. I also enjoy capturing the Black Ship and absolutely wrecking house.
S2 TW was the last real actual historical no magic no BS total war. I think CA should do an Empire 2 and cover the 1820 - 1920 period with a American Civil war DLC and a WWI DLC. Though I think the equivalent of Napoleon Total war for that period might not be so well recieved.
@@HontasFarmer80 Rome 2 was pretty straight forward, wasn't it? I feel like the latter ones lean too heavily on super powered generals and units, especially Troy. I heard the updated it and added a more historical campaign though. Haven't tried it.
@@jasepoag8930 I played it, it was really good! The general's bodyguards are just an elite unit, nothing game changing. Story was nice, diplomacy and administration better than ever.
A few things I'd like to add: AFAIK the ODa also utilized mobile wooden palisades. Probably not very strong but in essence the Takeda attempted a frontal cavalry charge against a gun line supported by spearmen (the Oda were also famous for their Yari Ashigaru) and over difficult terrain. Yeah... Like many other Daimyou the Takeda were a branch of the Minamoto and therefore also nobility. The family in Kai that perished in the Sengoku Jidai was the main branch but others did survive. For example a Takeda branch held the only Japanese castle on Hokkaidou in Matsumae. Another eastern branch in Aizu tought various martial arts among them Daitou-ryū Aiki-juujutsu.Takeda Soukaku was the teacher of *amonst others) Ueshiba Morihei who developed Akidou. Whether Yasuke was ever made a samurai is AFAIK unclear. There is no historical evidence for either side. Normally there are various records from samurai esp. if they were in any kind special but we have nothing indicating that he was ever more than a bodyguard. Which admittedly was pretty outragious already.
Many don't know that in 1582 oda army counted: 146.000 men without his allies(tokugawa, ukita...) Proof: Hashiba hideyoshi, maeda toshie, sassa narimasa= 40.000 Oda nobutada, takigawa kazamasu...=30.000 Oda nobunaga=30.000 Niwa nagahide, wakizaka yasaharu, kuki yoshitaka=10.000 Hasjiba hideyoshi=20.000 Akechi mitsuhide=16.000
While subduing Iga Province and the Ikko forces there Ieyasu gave shelter and protection to a number of families of the Ikko- when Nobunaga was assasinated Tokugawa was alone in hostile territory and the Akechi troops were out looking for him. When they heard that their benefactor was in trouble the Ikko helped Tokugawa escape to his home provinces.
Akechi's betrayal wasn't random from what I know, He was so close to Nobunaga, he saw him as a big brother and told him Stuff he would never discuss with any of his generals or relatives,Akechi felt the same way However he was a traditionalist and close to the emperor too ( I could go into details about that but that'll take too long), Nobunaga's mistake was that he told Akechi about his plan of canceling the emperor and abolishing the shogun emperor system and instead have one ruler all over japan that was him which created a moral conflict for Akechi and took him a while to set his mind up, either betray his "younger brother" and save their traditional ways or let it be and you guys can figure the answer now x)) PS : Don't take this word by word as I'm no professional historian, I'm just into Japanese history
Interesting and also what a coincidence K&G's would make a video of Sengoku Jidai era Japan at time I got back into Shogun 2 with 'Ultimate Immersive' mod. Well done as always
According to Metatron, there is actually no clear evidence for Yasuke to have ever become a samurai. He was a retainer who served Oda Nobunaga for certain. But he becoming a samurai is merely an assumption.
This is the comment I was looking for, kings and generals keeps pushing yasuke as a "samurai" or "first ever foreign samurai" and that he "fought like a lion in battle" which all of it it isn't historical fact. Fact is he wasn't samurai and never mentioned as such. Kings and generals needs to get their historical facts historical.

There's no proof Yasuke was given a title of samurai. It would be a beautiful story, but if it came true, it would be noticed somewhere in documents from that times. The myth of a "black samurai" came from the book by Lockley & Girard - which is very good overall, but in this case it just got too romanticized.
Nobunaga had plans of modernizing Japan and forming stronger ties with the west. Opening the borders to trade. My guess is that Japan would've westernized earlier instead of isolating themselves and begun to conquer more islands across the region. They may even manage to hold on to Korea, though I think this is still fairly unlikely. Christianity would've most likely been bigger in Japan in this timeline than it is in ours, though I don't know to what extent. I also believe it's possible that Nobunaga might've tried to overthrow the emperor, since he couldn't become Shogun and clearly didn't want to have a bafuku holding more authority tham him. Since he can't become emperor either for obvious reasons, the only way for him to legitimize absolute power in Japan would be to take down the emperor and instate a new order. But it's impossible to know for sure. Butterfly effect and all.
@@theazureknight9399 overthrowing the emperor would be the end of Nobunaga by even his own kin, never underestimate the emperor spiritual and cultural authority whose only name brought down the 250 years of Tokugawa rule
@@akmr.mafiax6363 The fall of the Tokugawa shogunate was a bit more complicated than that, and the emperor throwing his support to the other side certainly wasn't the deciding factor. What proves this is the fact that even with the meiji restoration, the same centuries old samurai families stayed in power, the difference being that instead of reamaining feudal clans, they became industrial conglomerates, the famed zaibatsu companies. All the while the emperor remained a figurehead.
Some people say that unification of Japan is like making mochi. Oda bought the ingredients and mixed it, Hideyoshi kneaded the ingredients and cooked it, while Tokugawa sat and ate it. It's crazy to think what could've happened if Nobunaga survived and how different Japan would be under his rule instead of Hideyoshi/Tokugawa. Isolation period may not happened due to Nobunaga's penchant towards nanban and foreign culture.
Very true and unlike his best friend Tokugawa, Nobunaga was very open minded with Christianity. Some even thought he converted if I am correct. Tokugawa treated Christianity as a threat. A plague upon Japan which partly led to Japan's isolationist policies that wasn't uplifted until the Meiji Restoration in the 1800s which that same event led to the abolition of the Samurai caste. This event was featured in the movie "The Last Samurai" that starred Tom Cruise and considered based on a true story.
I used to play a great samurai - clan game called straw hat samurai duels, the fighting was so good,but the best about this game was the war room,the whole of Japan,tyles and clans,so epic I miss this game
While not perfect, “The Kiyosu Conference “ (2013) is an interesting Japanese look at the succession battle after the death of Oda Nobunaga and definitely worth a watch.
17:20 Wow 'The enemy is at honago' The best betrayal since Ceasar Et tu brute Oda who murdered thousands of people, the monks and their families, He was forced to watch with his own eyes as his family 👪 😭 and himself get murdered, 🔥 🔥 burnt and suicide. And there was nothing he could do, except kill himself. Great video 📹 👍 Waited for part 2. Thanks 😊 🙏
Yasuke was probably not insulted, but rather stated to not be a samurai due to the fact that he didn't actually belong to the samurai social class. Yasuke was very likely just a bushi retainer of Nobunaga.
When Kings and Generals is going hard with "Shoguns and Daimyos", "Basileos' and Dukes", "Caliphs and Emirs"... The honorific title of this channel should be "Emperors and Marshals".
In those days, Buddhists, like Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, had great political power based on their religious background and were as strong or stronger than other warlords. They were as powerful as or more powerful than other warlords in the warring states. They also hindered the unification of the country by staging revolts in various regions to oppose the daimyo, as in the case of the Jodo Shin sect. In response to the Buddhist forces that tried to intervene in the administration of the country based on "the principles of Shintoism and Buddhism," Oda thoroughly attacked and destroyed them and brought them to their knees. He managed to defeat the Buddhists by burning down an entire mountain of temples and shrines and killing all the monks and other fleeing men and women, at great cost to his allies, including the loss of his younger brother. This was an outrageous act even according to the values of the time, but in a world of disorder and warfare, He achieved it by force. Oda Nobunaga must have been a very unconventional man.

"They crucified him while he was still alive". Yeah that's how crucifixion works. Executions in general kind of require the person to be alive otherwise we would call it desecration of a corpse.
I always love the story about Oda Nobunaga's invasion of the Iga Province. Sadly, this story is not covered on this channel. But I remembered that Information Graphic Show had done one about it and it was truly amazing! This video is really making me wanted to re-watch that video so much! P.S: Glad to hear about Yasuke is being mentioned and later, shown in this video! P.S.S: What will happened if Oda Nobunaga survived his assassination attempt? How will this affect the fate of Japan as a whole?
He was a decent general, so I'd reckon he'd have a bit more luck invading Korea. Though Admiral Yi Sun Shin is still gonna be trouble, that's for damn sure
@@amp8295 Will there even be the invasions of Joseon like at all? That was merely Ieyasu's interpretation of "What to do with the massive army that I have?" after all.
@@lerneanlion Probably, considering the fact that he is pretty ambitious. The closest target after taking all of Japan would be Joseon afterall. I dunno tho, he might consolidate first before moving on. Now that I think about it, Hideyoshi had a different reason for the invasion, didn't he?
@@amp8295 I think so? He simply had no idea what to do with the massive army that he had at the moment and most likely do not wanted the military to begin to harass his own citizens anytime soon. So he came with the propaganda of "invading Joseon to get to the Ming dynasty" in the end. And even although Nobunaga did launch an invasion against Joseon, he will still have to deal with the combined forces of Joseon and the Ming dynasty in the end like in our timeline. But what did change is the whole isolationist period is most likely not going to happen anytime soon since he is a fan of the European culture and even employed someone from Africa as one of his samurais.
Nobunaga could have been at the head of a unified Japan, with modernised effective military for the time & trusted connections from across the globe that could have spread the innovations from the European age of discovery, enlightenment & then industrialisation. His generals used his inherited his strategies and were increasingly already doing most of the fighting by the time of his death, so it is unlikely he wouldn't have unified japan in a similar way. His love of fire-arms & open-ness to foreign culture could be the big change. ______________________ Tokugawa Ieyasu who took the rains from Toyotomi Hideyoshi moulded the new japan, he was the guy who introduced the isolationist policy & chased the jesuits out of japan; he essentially was a cultural conservative. Ieyasu set up the Tokugawa Dynasty and strict social order that was centred around stability (starting the edo period) ; population was held stable & due to the country enjoying its first long-peace economic growth steadily increased. The Tokugawa Dynasty ruled until the Meji Restoration period. Some people see the Edo period as a golden period for japan, while others see it as the period of conservative internalisation policy where Japan was left behind from arrogant decisions to isolate. Loosing a position to have been the supremely modern force in the region during the next period. Japan didn't need to miss the Industrial revolution if Nobunaga survived, but who knows it still might have.
I used to play a game Kessen II on PlayStation, the game was about the history of Nobunaga's journey to conquer Japan based on his vision. There was a chapter on that game described Akechi Mitsuhide's approach to assassinate Nobunaga. The player of this game could avoid this Nobunaga's tragic fate by refusing Akechi's request of permission to lead Nobunaga's some thousands army to march toward Kyoto. Nobunaga could continue to live until Japan unified under his feet in few decades later & finally became the Shogun of Japan.
It really was a great game. There were two other generals Mori and Date that once you got them on your side it was pretty much gg. I was fascinated that Nobunaga had ninja units but didn't see much of a mention in these videos of them at all. Was there any historical accuracy to this - do you know?
@@Rally. yuup, Nobunaga had ninja units and utilised only for spying, sabotaging, or assassinating (if necessary), but these roles weren't much pictured in the game
So for comparison between Japan and China during this era: 1. In China, the government was very centralized and owned key industries while in Japan, the government was destabilized by feudalism. 2. Anyone in China could raise himself to another higher social status through merit, connections, and recommendations while in Japan a person was restricted to the social status of his/her caste. 3. China was rich in natural resources and trade oriented while Japan was poor in resources and had many restrictions on trade. 4. In China, all subjects actually paid their taxes while in Japan many aristocrats ignored paying their due. 5. China was able to prevent warlords from existing by having a national conscription from the general population while in Japan, military defense mainly came from Samurai who were more loyal to their lords than their country. 6. China was an actual functional empire while Japan was a nominal empire composed of semi-autonomous states.
The advantage of Nobunaga's army was that it was a military - specialized army . Until now , many soldiers were farmers , who had go back to home to harvest rice in the fall . Nobunaga created commercial city and got taxes from it . The taxes allowed soldiers to work all year round and could buy many guns .
No wtf Oda armies were primarily made of Ashigaru troops, not professional soldiers. the fertile and rich Oda provinces allowed them to muster and sustain huge forces in numbers, it's the exact opposite
I always wonder, what if Oda Nobunaga was never betrayed like Aurelian was when they were halfway through reunifying their land? It's most obvious that Japan would've been more open and an invasion of Korea is always a possibility but, would they have conquered it? Would they stand equally with the Chinese empire or invade them? Will he take the mantle of Emperor and trash the title of Shogun? Or is Oda Nobunaga's rule just doomed due to the fact that he has made so many enemies and an open rebellion will immediately sprout throughout?
No offense to Kings and Generals but I find The Shogunate's version more detailed and better. This went from Nagashino then quick summary till the Akechi Rebellion in Honnoji. Plus The Shogunate detailed Yasuke better and did notice his insertion from sponsor.
My guy you just read my mind I've been thinking about this for days, I was I was like I was thinking I wish this guy would do something about the shogunate in Japan. This is a very interesting topic
Seems a bizarre decision for the Takeda to attack the Oda and their allies across the stream and against fortifications. They were the besieging force and could have fortified the stream on the other side and then forced the Oda to attack them... crazy to accept battle in the reverse situation.

When a priest asked them how they would make a bird sing? Nobunaga replied, “If the bird will not sing, I will kill it;” Hideyoshi replied, “If the bird will not sing, I will make it want to sing;” and Ieyasu said, “If the bird will not sing, I will wait for it to sing.”
What if the bird will not sing........

Watching your historical videos is the most efficent way to understand a specific period in mutiples different perspective, helped a lot for me in my studies. Thank you!
Portuguese first reached Japan in 1543, at Tanegashima. One of the commanders of the armada offered one local lord his own _arcabuz_ as a gift; later on, as the Japanese reproduced the weapon, it became known as the _Tanegashima Weapon_ - or simply a _Tanegashima_ . I remember during the 1990's a comemorative _Escudo_ coin was issued, to celebrate the arrival at Tanegashima.
Yes, the Tanegashima or Japanese matchlock
Fernão Mendes Pinto tell us a bit of that story. Personally, I love Portuguese history from the occupation of Ceuta until losing trading posts to the evil Dutch.

Oda Nobunaga was sometimes surprisingly tricky in battle, but Toyotomi Hideyoshi basically brought his enemies to their knees with ease.
This is partly because Nobunaga had laid the foundation for the unification of Japan, but hideyoshi was probably a true war genius.
That's why his dementia in his later years was such a waste.
Waste of what? Those who excel in war only seeks more conquests for vanity.
Who have the idea that cavalry charges could break a well fortified tanegashima gunners? Same thing happened to Mamluks during Ottoman conquest of Egypt.
Well, considering that early guns were sh*t at reloading, some of it consider that thing possible. Something that both Takeda clan and Mamluk Sultanate might think
Apparently visibility wasn't very good because it was raining and the Takeda had approached through foresty terrain but emerged pretty close to the Oda/Tokugawa lines and thought they could break them again like in a previous battle but Oda had learned new tricks and built palisades. So yeah, serious error of judgement.
It's also worth noting that Katsuyori wasn't very experienced in both statesmanship and leading armies. He was the 4th son but the 1st one and intended heir had been involved in a lot against his father and let's just say Shingen wasn't a very forgiving person.
Also unfortunately for the Takeda, they had lost quite a few important leaders like Shingens brother at the 4th battle of Kawanakajima against the Uesugi.
In essence the clan was bled out by the constant conflict with the Uesugi and going on the offensive was a foolish and vainglory thing to do.
Edit: Just checked something because it was nagging me in the back of my brain. Katsuyori was only acting leader of the Takeda, rulership was supposed to go to his son when he came of age. So he probably felt he had to prove something before that time.
@@Dfathurr The Takeda did not only think it possible, they had done it several times before at Mikatagahara. Well minus the fortifications and with superior numbers. And the Oda had far more experience in the use of firearms by the time of Nagashino.
So the Takeda were making dsecisions based on past experience without realizing how much things had changed.
Also rain was though to make gun powder weapons useless (and does in Shogun 2 IIRC, so maybe Katsuyori had played too much that) but the Oda had learned how to keep the gun powder dry and usable.
@پیاده نظام خان I mean they werent spanish muskets, but they were reversed engineered portuguese ones.
Back then muskets took a looong time to reload so they were confident on destroying them before they could shoot again, they had no way of knowing that Nobunaga had 3 lines of gunners who could keep firing constantly.
Katsuyori: Why can't we break them? We should be able to break their lines after firing.
Nobunaga: If one fires while one reloads, then a continuous wave of fire can be achieved. The ways of the old are simply but the past.
Mitsuhide: This...... is war?
**
**
I remember this scene
Nobunaga: "This battle is not only about victory or defeat. We must prove that our muskets are superior to the Takeda Cavalry."
Keiji: "Who cares about winning in style? That's not why i fight".
Nobunaga: We are waging war on history. Do you not understand that, samurai? Do not advance beyond the barricades. Tighten the defense! Lure the enemy in the open field - Alive!"
Nobunaga: "Those Who do not change are doomed to be forgotten."

@@AndrewStamelakis Referring to Troy historical campaign?
A few things I'd like to add:
AFAIK the ODa also utilized mobile wooden palisades. Probably not very strong but in essence the Takeda attempted a frontal cavalry charge against a gun line supported by spearmen (the Oda were also famous for their Yari Ashigaru) and over difficult terrain. Yeah...
Like many other Daimyou the Takeda were a branch of the Minamoto and therefore also nobility. The family in Kai that perished in the Sengoku Jidai was the main branch but others did survive.
For example a Takeda branch held the only Japanese castle on Hokkaidou in Matsumae.
Another eastern branch in Aizu tought various martial arts among them Daitou-ryū Aiki-juujutsu.Takeda Soukaku was the teacher of *amonst others) Ueshiba Morihei who developed Akidou.
Whether Yasuke was ever made a samurai is AFAIK unclear. There is no historical evidence for either side. Normally there are various records from samurai esp. if they were in any kind special but we have nothing indicating that he was ever more than a bodyguard. Which admittedly was pretty outragious already.
I was just waiting for sengoku jidai period documentries for so long. thank you kings and generals
Many don't know that in 1582 oda army counted: 146.000 men without his allies(tokugawa, ukita...)
Proof:
Hashiba hideyoshi, maeda toshie, sassa narimasa= 40.000
Oda nobutada, takigawa kazamasu...=30.000
Oda nobunaga=30.000
Niwa nagahide, wakizaka yasaharu, kuki yoshitaka=10.000
Hasjiba hideyoshi=20.000
Akechi mitsuhide=16.000
While subduing Iga Province and the Ikko forces there Ieyasu gave shelter and protection to a number of families of the Ikko- when Nobunaga was assasinated Tokugawa was alone in hostile territory and the Akechi troops were out looking for him. When they heard that their benefactor was in trouble the Ikko helped Tokugawa escape to his home provinces.
Akechi's betrayal wasn't random from what I know, He was so close to Nobunaga, he saw him as a big brother and told him Stuff he would never discuss with any of his generals or relatives,Akechi felt the same way However he was a traditionalist and close to the emperor too ( I could go into details about that but that'll take too long), Nobunaga's mistake was that he told Akechi about his plan of canceling the emperor and abolishing the shogun emperor system and instead have one ruler all over japan that was him which created a moral conflict for Akechi and took him a while to set his mind up, either betray his "younger brother" and save their traditional ways or let it be and you guys can figure the answer now x))
PS : Don't take this word by word as I'm no professional historian, I'm just into Japanese history
One of history's mysteries that will probably never be truly confirmed. I wouldnt knock you for this.
So cao cao and xun yu all over again but with some difference.
Interesting and also what a coincidence K&G's would make a video of Sengoku Jidai era Japan at time I got back into Shogun 2 with 'Ultimate Immersive' mod. Well done as always
This was an excellent video. I have been watching the Shogunate videos about this era and it is fascinating to see another account of the event.
According to Metatron, there is actually no clear evidence for Yasuke to have ever become a samurai. He was a retainer who served Oda Nobunaga for certain. But he becoming a samurai is merely an assumption.
This is the comment I was looking for, kings and generals keeps pushing yasuke as a "samurai" or "first ever foreign samurai" and that he "fought like a lion in battle" which all of it it isn't historical fact. Fact is he wasn't samurai and never mentioned as such. Kings and generals needs to get their historical facts historical.
The best on this topic. I thought I knew all about this, but found I was missing some details. Great work. Keep it going!!!
"Sided with the younger officers." Ooof

Imagine what a Tea Meeting between Oda Clan and British Empire would look like
*rule Britannia intensifies*
Mitsuhide: "The enemy is at Honno-ji!"
Nobunaga: *surprised Pikachu face*
It is debated by the Japanese that Yasuke was a Samurai, he was only in Odas service for 6-8 months....
It is amazing the details you guys have on all the battles you make videos of. Impressive ! Most impressive !
Thank you Kings and Generals Team! Great documentary.
Nobunaga's and Yasuke's lives were probably some of the most crazy in history.
My favorite historical period and region, thank you for covering this!
hey!, nice seeing you eu4 guide guy
Amazing and very informative work as always, top 10 channels on YT no questions asked! Thank you guys so much!
There's no proof Yasuke was given a title of samurai.
It would be a beautiful story, but if it came true, it would be noticed somewhere in documents from that times.
The myth of a "black samurai" came from the book by Lockley & Girard - which is very good overall, but in this case it just got too romanticized.
Kings and generals did a whole documentary on this he definitely was a Samurai.
@@tomuch4u969 And Metatron did a whole video about that he was not. :D
Thanks y’all, excellent video! Keep up the good work n all that jazz.

"Mitsuhide kinda SUS"
Nobunaga last word
Toyotomi Hideyoshi unified Japan. Iaesu Tokugawa nailed it and safeguarded the peace for the coming 200 years...
I wonder how different history would've been had Oda Nobunaga not died when he did? My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Nobunaga had plans of modernizing Japan and forming stronger ties with the west. Opening the borders to trade.
My guess is that Japan would've westernized earlier instead of isolating themselves and begun to conquer more islands across the region. They may even manage to hold on to Korea, though I think this is still fairly unlikely.
Christianity would've most likely been bigger in Japan in this timeline than it is in ours, though I don't know to what extent.
I also believe it's possible that Nobunaga might've tried to overthrow the emperor, since he couldn't become Shogun and clearly didn't want to have a bafuku holding more authority tham him. Since he can't become emperor either for obvious reasons, the only way for him to legitimize absolute power in Japan would be to take down the emperor and instate a new order.
But it's impossible to know for sure. Butterfly effect and all.
@@theazureknight9399----Still a lot of that is possible. Thanks for responding.
@@theazureknight9399 overthrowing the emperor would be the end of Nobunaga by even his own kin, never underestimate the emperor spiritual and cultural authority whose only name brought down the 250 years of Tokugawa rule
@@akmr.mafiax6363 The fall of the Tokugawa shogunate was a bit more complicated than that, and the emperor throwing his support to the other side certainly wasn't the deciding factor.
What proves this is the fact that even with the meiji restoration, the same centuries old samurai families stayed in power, the difference being that instead of reamaining feudal clans, they became industrial conglomerates, the famed zaibatsu companies. All the while the emperor remained a figurehead.
Nobunaga's life story was epic.., like watching a Movie.
Some people say that unification of Japan is like making mochi. Oda bought the ingredients and mixed it, Hideyoshi kneaded the ingredients and cooked it, while Tokugawa sat and ate it. It's crazy to think what could've happened if Nobunaga survived and how different Japan would be under his rule instead of Hideyoshi/Tokugawa. Isolation period may not happened due to Nobunaga's penchant towards nanban and foreign culture.
Very true and unlike his best friend Tokugawa, Nobunaga was very open minded with Christianity. Some even thought he converted if I am correct. Tokugawa treated Christianity as a threat. A plague upon Japan which partly led to Japan's isolationist policies that wasn't uplifted until the Meiji Restoration in the 1800s which that same event led to the abolition of the Samurai caste. This event was featured in the movie "The Last Samurai" that starred Tom Cruise and considered based on a true story.
Everybody's a gangster until they try to match blades with Uesugi Kenshin.
Or Shingen. Ujiyasu had Imagawa help before Yoshimoto died but really all of the Kanto 3 were a big deal.
I used to play a great samurai - clan game called straw hat samurai duels, the fighting was so good,but the best about this game was the war room,the whole of Japan,tyles and clans,so epic
I miss this game
As for the battle of Tedorigawa in 1577 - Oda Nobunaga did not take part in it - it was commanded by Shibata Katsuie.
While not perfect, “The Kiyosu Conference “ (2013) is an interesting Japanese look at the succession battle after the death of Oda Nobunaga and definitely worth a watch.
Excellent work and always great soundtrack
Imagine a Samurai with no morals or ethics and one goal. Nobunaga
Contrary to contemporary belief, they were ordinarily 'immortal'.

Thanks 😊 🙏
16:25 I can already imagine Metatron raising and shaking his fist
Nobunagas Ambition. One of the best ninentendo strategy games.
Man Shingen would've turn in grave seeing Katsuyori lose their seasoned warriors.
Yasuke was probably not insulted, but rather stated to not be a samurai due to the fact that he didn't actually belong to the samurai social class. Yasuke was very likely just a bushi retainer of Nobunaga.
When Kings and Generals is going hard with "Shoguns and Daimyos", "Basileos' and Dukes", "Caliphs and Emirs"... The honorific title of this channel should be "Emperors and Marshals".
In those days, Buddhists, like Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, had great political power based on their religious background and were as strong or stronger than other warlords.
They were as powerful as or more powerful than other warlords in the warring states. They also hindered the unification of the country by staging revolts in various regions to oppose the daimyo, as in the case of the Jodo Shin sect.
In response to the Buddhist forces that tried to intervene in the administration of the country based on "the principles of Shintoism and Buddhism," Oda thoroughly attacked and destroyed them and brought them to their knees.
He managed to defeat the Buddhists by burning down an entire mountain of temples and shrines and killing all the monks and other fleeing men and women, at great cost to his allies, including the loss of his younger brother.
This was an outrageous act even according to the values of the time, but in a world of disorder and warfare, He achieved it by force.
Oda Nobunaga must have been a very unconventional man.
kinda like the Templars

"They crucified him while he was still alive".
Yeah that's how crucifixion works.
Executions in general kind of require the person to be alive otherwise we would call it desecration of a corpse.
I always love the story about Oda Nobunaga's invasion of the Iga Province. Sadly, this story is not covered on this channel. But I remembered that Information Graphic Show had done one about it and it was truly amazing! This video is really making me wanted to re-watch that video so much!
P.S: Glad to hear about Yasuke is being mentioned and later, shown in this video!
P.S.S: What will happened if Oda Nobunaga survived his assassination attempt? How will this affect the fate of Japan as a whole?
He was a decent general, so I'd reckon he'd have a bit more luck invading Korea.
Though Admiral Yi Sun Shin is still gonna be trouble, that's for damn sure
@@amp8295 Will there even be the invasions of Joseon like at all? That was merely Ieyasu's interpretation of "What to do with the massive army that I have?" after all.
@@lerneanlion Probably, considering the fact that he is pretty ambitious. The closest target after taking all of Japan would be Joseon afterall.
I dunno tho, he might consolidate first before moving on.
Now that I think about it, Hideyoshi had a different reason for the invasion, didn't he?
@@amp8295 I think so? He simply had no idea what to do with the massive army that he had at the moment and most likely do not wanted the military to begin to harass his own citizens anytime soon. So he came with the propaganda of "invading Joseon to get to the Ming dynasty" in the end. And even although Nobunaga did launch an invasion against Joseon, he will still have to deal with the combined forces of Joseon and the Ming dynasty in the end like in our timeline. But what did change is the whole isolationist period is most likely not going to happen anytime soon since he is a fan of the European culture and even employed someone from Africa as one of his samurais.
Nobunaga could have been at the head of a unified Japan, with modernised effective military for the time & trusted connections from across the globe that could have spread the innovations from the European age of discovery, enlightenment & then industrialisation. His generals used his inherited his strategies and were increasingly already doing most of the fighting by the time of his death, so it is unlikely he wouldn't have unified japan in a similar way.
His love of fire-arms & open-ness to foreign culture could be the big change.
______________________
Tokugawa Ieyasu who took the rains from Toyotomi Hideyoshi moulded the new japan, he was the guy who introduced the isolationist policy & chased the jesuits out of japan; he essentially was a cultural conservative. Ieyasu set up the Tokugawa Dynasty and strict social order that was centred around stability (starting the edo period) ; population was held stable & due to the country enjoying its first long-peace economic growth steadily increased. The Tokugawa Dynasty ruled until the Meji Restoration period.
Some people see the Edo period as a golden period for japan, while others see it as the period of conservative internalisation policy where Japan was left behind from arrogant decisions to isolate. Loosing a position to have been the supremely modern force in the region during the next period.
Japan didn't need to miss the Industrial revolution if Nobunaga survived, but who knows it still might have.
Nobunaga was only defeated by Uesugi Kenshin. Damn Kenshin was good
I used to play a game Kessen II on PlayStation, the game was about the history of Nobunaga's journey to conquer Japan based on his vision. There was a chapter on that game described Akechi Mitsuhide's approach to assassinate Nobunaga. The player of this game could avoid this Nobunaga's tragic fate by refusing Akechi's request of permission to lead Nobunaga's some thousands army to march toward Kyoto. Nobunaga could continue to live until Japan unified under his feet in few decades later & finally became the Shogun of Japan.
It really was a great game. There were two other generals Mori and Date that once you got them on your side it was pretty much gg. I was fascinated that Nobunaga had ninja units but didn't see much of a mention in these videos of them at all. Was there any historical accuracy to this - do you know?
@@Rally. yuup, Nobunaga had ninja units and utilised only for spying, sabotaging, or assassinating (if necessary), but these roles weren't much pictured in the game
Hope they continue with the series. I would like to hear more about Hideyoshi's exploits.
Ahhh Honnoji. Thanks to FGO, I knew your name before I knew your historical significance.
NOBUNOBU
Been waiting for this video
The writing and animation on these videos are both straight 🔥🔥🔥.
So for comparison between Japan and China during this era:
1. In China, the government was very centralized and owned key industries while in Japan, the government was destabilized by feudalism.
2. Anyone in China could raise himself to another higher social status through merit, connections, and recommendations while in Japan a person was restricted to the social status of his/her caste.
3. China was rich in natural resources and trade oriented while Japan was poor in resources and had many restrictions on trade.
4. In China, all subjects actually paid their taxes while in Japan many aristocrats ignored paying their due.
5. China was able to prevent warlords from existing by having a national conscription from the general population while in Japan, military defense mainly came from Samurai who were more loyal to their lords than their country.
6. China was an actual functional empire while Japan was a nominal empire composed of semi-autonomous states.
Great video. I am a gtret fan of the Sengoku period, and Oda Nobunaga in particular
Great heroes of history even mitsuhide!!! He seized his moment in history. We always need a bad guy .
Its was great how Oda and Tokugawa remain allies till the end.
Nobunaga must have hit Realm Divide. Only this can explain such a sudden betrayal!
The advantage of Nobunaga's army was that it was a military - specialized army .
Until now , many soldiers were farmers , who had go back to home to harvest rice in the fall .
Nobunaga created commercial city and got taxes from it . The taxes allowed soldiers to work all year round and could buy many guns .
No wtf Oda armies were primarily made of Ashigaru troops, not professional soldiers. the fertile and rich Oda provinces allowed them to muster and sustain huge forces in numbers, it's the exact opposite
I would really love to see the Keivan Rus series continued but great video!
I always wonder, what if Oda Nobunaga was never betrayed like Aurelian was when they were halfway through reunifying their land? It's most obvious that Japan would've been more open and an invasion of Korea is always a possibility but, would they have conquered it? Would they stand equally with the Chinese empire or invade them? Will he take the mantle of Emperor and trash the title of Shogun? Or is Oda Nobunaga's rule just doomed due to the fact that he has made so many enemies and an open rebellion will immediately sprout throughout?
Shoutout Torii Suneemon, most underrated legend of the Sengoku
No offense to Kings and Generals but I find The Shogunate's version more detailed and better. This went from Nagashino then quick summary till the Akechi Rebellion in Honnoji. Plus The Shogunate detailed Yasuke better and did notice his insertion from sponsor.
I too, will comment under the video before I watch a single minute of it.
Amazing video! I can't wait for the next installment.👘🗻🎌🗾
Thumbnail got me hyped. I wasn't even gonna watch TH-cam I was gonna do something else.

Seems a bizarre decision for the Takeda to attack the Oda and their allies across the stream and against fortifications. They were the besieging force and could have fortified the stream on the other side and then forced the Oda to attack them... crazy to accept battle in the reverse situation.

Mitsuhide killed Nobunaga, but Hideyoshi took root behind the scenes and set it up to kill Nobunaga. It's known in Japan.
Nobunaga was a brilliant general. But perhaps a much more flawed politician.
Tokugawa Ieyasu would finish what Oda started.
