Now the question is: who were those Christian warlords? What kind of political or even cultural influence to Japan of that period they have beside religious matters?
Several of them were in the southern part of Japan, and therefore not in places that Nobunaga had tried to consolidate yet. One of the closer ones was Takayama Ukon, who controlled Takatsuki Castle, which was located between Kyoto and Osaka. Ukon took over a burned-out castle and somewhat floundering domain and turned it into a stronghold and a well-managed area. You also had Kuroda Yoshitaka (later Kuroda Kanbei), who at one time controlled Himeji Castle. He later renounced his faith after Hideyoshi's edict, but supposedly worked secretly to protect Christians. In addition, you had Christian samurai throughout the area who shared Nobunaga's goal of eliminating certain Buddhist sects as well as daimyo who allowed Christianity in the domains. By allowing Christianity to spread. Nobunaga made sure he had their support.
Oda Nobunaga was quite eccentric during his era, he didnt particularly follow many traditions like other lords at the time and was probably an outcast of sorts, and ironically i believe Oda may have even be infatuated with Christianity since everyone he knew was only brought up with Buddist teachings through their lives, it makes me wonder ironcally if the so called demon king of the 6th heaven may have secretly been converted into following Christanity for himself
Always heard that Nobunaga believed himself to be a God and likely would have had conflict later, had he not been assassinated. But they may have reached an agreement to allow the missionaries more leeway.
