Last time i was this early.... Takeda Shingen was still alive.
"Honour may not win power, but it wins respect. And respect earns power"
- Ishida Mitsunari
Describe how fascinating story about Sanada Nobushige is
He died with honour. Hopefully he found peace alongside Hideyoshi.
The most ironic part of Hideyoshi's reign is him forbidding social mobility when he, in fact, was the one who rose to such prominence thanks to Gekokujo. From peasant landholder to samurai to general of Nobunaga's western campaigns to inheritor of Nobunaga's conquests.
I feel one the things Hideyoshi feared most was men like himself: deviously cunning and capable peasants who could be underestimated by haughty samurais.
And his clan suffering the same fate he inflicted upon the oda which of course it happend
@@james-97209 he didnt destroy the oda. Id argue he trully wanted to be part of oda family hence why he married Oichi's daughter.
@@harukrentz435Either way he usurped power from and went to war against those who had a claim to the throne
Perhaps the greatest career in Japanese history. From sandalbearer to unifier then locking the door behind him. Truly a remarkable man.
Or not take weapons from the people, or stop social mobility, both only serve to create more unrest instead of preventing it. There was a lot Hideyoshi could have done in hindsight to actually benefit the country, instead of hurting it in efforts to preserve his fledgling dynasty
Osaka people "Ok now he's dead, can we earn some $$ by making Osaka Castle a tourist attraction?"
We would, but Tokugawa keeps walking aroud the place humming the song, "The Roof is on Fire" it's getting kinda creepy.
@@jtilton5 Actually Tokugawa was singing the Japanese version of "The Rains of Castamere " (That is a "Game of Thrones"reference)... It would fit very well given the history
Ieyasu: Burn it down!
Yukimura: Nope
Ieyasu: What the hell?
Yukimura: I’ll turn it into a military fort
Ieyasu: YUKIMURA SANADA!
@@jeffreysams3348 Considering that Yodo Dono and Hideyori got killed like Catelyn and Robb Stark, yeah it’s kinda creepy
Oh man, Sekigahara's about to become a little more than a small Mino province town.
It's approaching...the greatest battle of the Sengoku Jidai... Sekigahara
I hope they talk about Musashi on the losing side
I’m so excited!
I'm looking forward to the videos on the Siege of Osaka.
@@Hasshodo that one’s gonna be awesome too. I also wonder what other battles will occur between these two that we haven’t heard about yet
@@davidorellana27 well I know of one where Ieyasu's kid with twenty thousand men got clowned on by the Sanada with only a few hundred. Ueda OP, nerf Ueda
Admiral Yi really was born at the exact right time to fend off Japan at one of their military heights
Battle of Noryang
Yi Sun-sin's goal was the complete annihilation including the Japanese commanders.
However, the feudal lords (Yukinaga Konishi, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Kiyomasa Kato, etc.) all returned home unharmed.
Both Ming and Korea were only saved because Hideyoshi died.
Slowly but surely, the Sengoku Jidai era is coming to the end. Even the samurai during that period know that would happen.
And thus, with the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the 3 Great Heroes of the Sengoku Jidai, the Road to Sekigahara begins.
I don't think there are only 3 great heroes of the Sengoku Jidai.
The likes of Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, Mori Motonari, Hojo Soun may not have been unifiers but they're equally remarkable nevertheless.
A former peasant who unified his country for the first time and almost creates a Dinasty 📜
Sounds like liu bang of the han dynasty to me
This was a great set up, showing how the set pieces and alliances were is place for the final moves to create the Eastern and Western armies, that will ultimately meet in battle at Sekigahara.
As you suspect, Naniwa is a reference to Osaka. Long before this period, back when imperial capitals changed when an emperor died (before the Nara Period basically), one was in Naniwa, which was an area within what is now Osaka. There is still a part of Osaka called Naniwa.
“I’m different. I have a different constitution. I have a different brain. I have a different heart. I got tiger blood, man.”
-Toyotomi Hideyoshi
Hideyoshi-Sama’s edicts that all must remain in the station they were born into must only have been to insure that no one would ever do exactly what he himself had done. I suppose this was to protect the Toyotomi line but in retrospect it appears as hypocrisy for lack of a better term.
Nothing like the Shogunate dropping a new vid to make my day!
LAAAAADIES AND GENTALMEN! THE "KING" IS DEAD! LETS GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMLE!
I'm watching Sanadamaru due to you mentioning it in a stream, and I'm about to get to the part where Hideyoshi dies. This is a funny coincidence, unless you are a Toyotomi family member.
spoilers:...............................................
don't think there ARE any left man
Idk why they didn't even send Yukimura to Korea. He's just hanging out in Monke's court so he can be involved in everything. :D
However Sanada Maru has the best Mitsunari I've ever seen. I love that dramatic goth :D
@@akechijubeimitsuhide Maybe they didn't have the budget for Korea? There was like one scene that took place in Korea and no battles are shown there. Mitsunari is definitely great.
@@akechijubeimitsuhide Because the Daimyo were commanded to send resources based on proximity to Korea.
The further West and South your territory, the more you were obliged to send to Korea. Thus, the Sanada's would've taken no part in the campaign, much like the Date and the Tokugawa. Rumours of Date Masamune fighting in Korea should be regarded with a grain of salt, as there really aren't any historical records to indicate he did.
Meanwhile, Daimyo like Shimazu Yoshihiro and Kato Kiyomasa led large numbers to fight in Korea. There were other daimyo, but I found those 2 to be among the most memorable; Kato Kiyomasa was the only Daimyo to reach Chinese territory, fighting the Jurchens, while the Shimazu fought very well in general, including some battles where they were outnumbered by the Koreans and Chinese.
Ultimately, the Imjin War weakened the Western Daimyo, while Tokugawa basically kept his forces intact.
@@galren208 Probably also because the Sanada wouldn't have taken part in Korea, due to their location. Similarly, Eastern Daimyo like the Date and Tokugawa didn't either.
The Daimyo who sent the most troops and resources to Korea were the Western Daimyo like the Shimazu or Kato Kiyomasa due to the proximity of their location. The further West (i.e. closer to Korea) your territory, the more of your resources you were expected to send to the war effort.
Rest in Peace, Sweet Prince
F.
The end has begun.
You forgot to mention that the Korean admiral was probably assassinated by his own nobility for fear of his notoriety.
As much as Yi got screwed over by his own government at times, there are no records to support that he was assassinated mid-battle. The closest he came to being killed by his own government was during that fiasco that was his trial and imprisonment on false charges.
@@bkjeong4302 I'd be surprised there would be documentation supporting assassination of leading figures regardless of the era. Historical analysis invites speculation of probable events.
Tokugawa Ieyasu nickname was
"The old Badger"
Having ability to wait patiently & strategically plan his next move,
His enemy's acted Quick & Decisively,
Also I think he ruled on horseback im not certain though...
Never change the intro its awesome af
He’s the embodiment of ‘Slow and steady wins the race’
Dude your channel has an amazing content, please keep it up
It’s hard to mention hideyoshi’s death without naming his loyal vassal Ishida Mitsunari
Can't stress enough how great your series is.
This series is so perfectly made, I learnt so much because of your content! Much appreciated!
Rest in Peace, the greatest (in rank) footsoldier of Japan.
My favorite daimyo are Uesugi Kenshin, Oda Nobunaga, and Mori Motonari
I just listened to all 51 episodes of the series and I cant wait till you post more episodes. I love this!!!
If Linfamy is that one teacher that always humor friendly, you are that one cool but smart ice breaker. Man, your channel need more attention👑
Thank you so much for these videos!! For me, one of the top history channels on RUclips. I love the Sangoku Jidai period and I could find nothing else so detailed, epic and engaging.
re: death poem of Hideyoshi: yes, Naniwa is the old name of Osaka region. Incidentally I'm of the opinion that the last translation would be closer to the original when it says " (All of Naniwa) is a dream within a dream" BTW I've already watched many of your videos and highly appreciate them and of course am thankful.
What a great RUclips Serie. I am really glad you could leverage the portrait gallery of the video game because it really helps for those, like me, who have trouble memorizing names.
I'm quite sure Sanada Yukimura didn't partecipate into the Imjin war, but was into service into the Toyotomi household at the time
Very Good video love the channel keep it up!
Man your channel is so great! I think this series is worth millions. I wish a proper TV channel would buy out this series and produce a TV series for you. You deserve much respect. Greetings from Palestine for covering this important and interesting period.
I really love the music intro, it sounds too epic :)
best channel!
Hideyoshi body was buried at Toyokuni Shrine.
However, when Ieyasu unified Japan, Toyokuni Shrine was destroyed.
Hideyoshi tomb was not destroyed, but it was off-limits and left unattended.
When the Meiji Restoration took place, Toyokuni Shrine was rebuilt by order of Emperor Meiji.
At that time, the tomb was also excavated and reconstructed, but a mummified body was found in a large urn.
That was Hideyoshi.
His grave goods were stolen, and Hideyoshi slept alone for 250 years in an abandoned and dilapidated tomb.
When the urn was moved, the mummified body collapsed.
The collapsed bodies were picked up, wrapped in silk, put into a paulownia wood box, and re-interred in the renovated and cleaned tomb.
This one Was Done Well - I Liked It
I just benched watched all of the sanguku jidai series, and now I want more lol
On one end I'm excited for when we finally reach the battle of Sekigahara, on the other end I will be upset, as I know this wonderfully out together series will come to an end. But as they say it's the journey that's important, not the Destination
👍🏻 see you in the next one
Chills down my spine when he mentioned yukimura, The name was so amazing to my ears that even my hand is shaking when typing this comment
very interesting. I guess next episode will be Ieyasu's working towards power.
Battle of Noryang
Japanese side, no daimyo killed in action
I’ve been thinking about Oda Nobunaga lately and I’ve wondered how far he would have gotten had he not been betrayed by Mitsuhide. Anyone think he could have gone all the way?
Chances are he would most likely open Japan more to the European influence get more guns and cannons maybe buy several Galleon before his war with Korea. Considering he would have united Japan much earlier and maybe the Imjin war would have probably begun much earlier its one of those big what if ? moments in history.
Yes, he was as ruthless as he was cunning and the great warlord, although a terrible cold-hearted murderer as well.
@@42kellys To be fair, Nobunaga was no more ruthless than other Daimyo of his age. He was just more infamous.
@@nemo0036 Sure, I agree. These warlords were similarly ruthless. And it is true that his deeds are more known perhaps than that of others. Mind you, I think he may have been a bit worse than some of the others, because it was not without reason he became famous being cold and harsh and demanding with his own men, so much so that he was only feared and not loved. Again, you can say very few of these daimyos were loved.
@@silentecho92able I doubt that Nobunaga would've gone to war with China and Korea.
I always did wondered how yukimura earned the title number 1 warrior of Japan.
Probably heavy romantization because i find it hard to believe that he was better than honda Tadakatsu who fought in the front line of every battle involving the tokugawa , never suffer injury and made hideyoshi back away by just starring at him at komaki nagakute
@@james-97209 he held off a unified Japan, nearly killed Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he forever immortalized the Sanada into Japanese culture.
Mostly because of the insanity of his last stand at Osaka. He came extremely close to killing Ieyasu personally and ending the Tokugawa Shogunate centuries early.
His death and aftermath shows the fear of many with power. What will our legacy be and what will happen to our descendants? I think most of us see that Ieyasu and his bringing of 200 years of peace is a legacy that overshadows that of Hideyoshi, the man who “tried” to expand the territory of Japan.
What have we learned? Tokugawa Ieyasu has alot of patience to wait out till Hideyoshi death, meanwhile Date Masamune still feel bitter that he was born to late or else he would have the chance to become the Shogun.
Can you do an episode on Kiristan Daimyos ? It’ll be interesting to cover konishi yukinaga and Justo Takayama Yukon
Toyotomi Hideyoshi was the greatest Shogun ever. He successfully crossed the Korean Strait to conquer the whole Korean Peninsular by defeating the united forces of Korea and China that even the mighty Mongols failed to do.
I don't think you were paying attention. 😆
So many errors in a few sentences, bravo.
1) He never was a shogun, nor did he possess the might of a shogun. He was first kanpaku, then taiko.
2) He miserably lost the war against Korea and Ming China. He was the cause for the destruction of over 100 thousand Japanese bushi and ashigaru. Not only that, but nearly 20 % of the Korean population was wiped out.
3) The Mongols conquered China and effectively controlled Korea. Ever heard of the Yuan dynasty and Kubilai Khan?
He didnt defeat the allies army at all. Infact the japanese were being pushed out of country once the ming entered the war.
Leaving this for the YT gods.
The Jesuits thought Hideyoshi made a major mistake by not putting Kuroda Kanbei on the council.... Hideyoshi seems to have been fairly scared of Kanbei`s talents...
Nice content have a great day
🙆🙆♀️🙆♂️👏👏🙏🍒🍒🍒
Toyotomi Hideyoshi's statement said that without God's mercy, Japan would merge Ryukyu and Taiwan and advance toward the Philippines.
Miss the time where he is just a little boy fighting in Okehazama
You imagine what would have happened if Tokugawa had committed forces to Korea? They might have Victorious
No. Defenders of the homeland is more commited than attackers. Add to the fact that more reinforcements from the strongest power at the time, China, and the pocession of the leading candidate for the greatest admiral in history. The Chinese also boasted a great admiral as well, even if the Japanese is more successful Korea, what would happened if another portion of the Chinese army able to get to Japan? How long are the Japanese are willing to stay in Korea, homesick and harassed by the inhabitants? The invasions are foolhardy from the start. The rulers of Korea and China are much dumber than Hideyoshi and his generals, and they still managed to achieve this result.
Imagine if Hideyoshi acted more Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, peasants who became founders of the Han and Ming dynastty, Tokugawa would be the first to die, followed by the rest of the samurai clans.
@@Account.for.Comment China, the strongest nation in the 16th century? Laughs in Ottoman and the Habsburg Dynasty.
Manpower ain´t everything pal.
@@sahipkran9447 Hapsburg, had to be divided into two to be barely governable. Philips could not invade tiny England, a bunch of Dutch shopkeepers got their independence. Ottoman got embarassed again and again by a loose confederation of German states.
They’d probably do better, but I doubt they could do much about the naval situation or deal with the might of Ming China.
Nope, with the weaponry that they had it's still a numbers game. The Samurai style military aren't simply made for foreign invasion at that time, unless Ieyasu modernized his military as a copy of the West. Ieyasu also has a big problem where he can't commit all his forces for a prolonged invasion cause there will always be another daimyo just waiting for an opportunity to take him on. Also by kicking out the Portugese they just created an enemy that would only be too happy to see them get bogged down or even lose in Korea.
From sandalbearer to regent.
Well done Hideyoshi, well done.
Waiting episode 52 sir🤗
He came to become the greatest yokai that had ever lived and lived happily ever after 😌
And the surprise of a double boss with Kashin was cool
Sekigahara is coming!
I'm hoping to see Shimazu's epic retreat
He is the ultimate unifier of Japan
Can you do a video on Miyamoto Musahi?
Month of June
Reminds me of Okehazama where all this started🙂
Toyotomi Hideyoshi is my most favourite Samurai leader
Would you mind doing a review of the 2017 Sekigahara movie?
I will be!
0:39 that Samurai Warriors theme ..
Love it ..
Speaking of which Japan has some of the greatest animation and some of the greatest comics. I have yet to see a real good comic or anime focusing on the three great unifiers of Japan.
Sengoku Basara is the closest one but the actions are a bit over the top and ridiculous at times. Still a great show, I think it’s worth a look
@@gilet102 yeah I saw that a while back. I'm talking about can't we get a story that is both faithfully and has nothing to do with samurai warriors combat.
@@gilet102 sorry about that bad Grammar. you think you erased what you didn't want.
Tokugawa Ieyasu then said “It’s Tokugawin’ time!” then Tokugawa’d all over the places.
Were coming to Sekigahara pretty soon, consider reviewing the 2017 movie of the same name.
Yi Sun Shin's end is very similar to that of Nelson's.
Both killed by a stray bullet during a momentous naval battle that they lead their respective navies to victory in.
It wasn’t rare for admirals, even ones of such caliber, to be KIA. De Ruyter is another such example.
Of what I consider to be the four great Age of Sail admirals (in chronological order; Yi, De Ruyter, Ushakov and Nelson) only Ushakov wasn’t killed in action.
hey shogunate team,
before anything else, please know that the penultimate movie of the rurouni kenshin series has come out. maybe you can do a video about the series? it definitely warrants your attention
I love Rurouni Kenshin I would love to make videos about it some day!
In the last videos of the sengoku jidai, I wonder if they will be season 4 with the Tokugawa crest >.>
Well this is a surprise Yukimura Sanada fought during the Imjin War never knew that.
The crimson armore Yukimura is a total work of fiction. Nobushiges real armor was brownish nanban gusoku style armor with small antlers on the helmet.
the traitor is finally dead and soon his clan will die with him.
#TheShogunate Your Video's are AWESOME!!! Who Else Agree's?? ^^ Keep it up!!
He died a death worthy of a samurai
😍
it’s surprising he launched 2 invasions under fear of daimyo boredom only to fail twice. Why not just increase his standing army?
The last and final chapter is upon us, be patient everybody.
Arigato shogun. Have you ever had past life experiences? I've had more and more since I learned to put myself in a lucid dreaming state. Anyway, I've only had 2 of this era but when you mention names like yukimura Sanada, I get an inspiring reaction.
My experiences show me that lifetime was as exciting at playing samurai warriors, though their abilities seem too far fetched to most bodily conscious beings. I rarely discuss these experiences but they are the most amazing when I meet another soul that has devotion in their soul.
And btw, what samurai strategy games are multiplayer for ps4? Or even other strategy games you can recommend?.
Out of the three my inspiration is Hashiba Hideyoshi
Good thing Ieyasu was hiring.
Bro where the next episode at?
Do you think Hideyoshi plotted against Nobunaga by incite Mitsuhide to rebel against Nobunaga? I kept googling but they are all conspiracies.
I think that its unlikely (same with the theory that ieyasu had something to do with) based on the time frame mitsuhide acted on impulse and let's face it no source I have encountered says anything remotely to mitsuhide being above average intelligence so my guess he saw a chance(in his eyes) to avenge his mother/seize power , took it and then got destroyed because he didn't have a proper plan
It's plausible, daimyos during the Sengoku period backstabs each other routinely.
Member AGE OF SAMURAI: BATTLE FOR 🗾?🍇
Shit series
Toyotomi Hideyoshi ke III
why didn't he put the mitsunari ishida, one of his most loyal ministers, as a Gotarius?
and in your opinion, if he had, would it have changed the story a lot?
I’m Japanese student.
Most loyal ministers, as a Gotairo(五大老) were chosen from generals who have huge territories, a lot of castles and a lot of samurais.
But Mitsunari Ishida looked like accounting manager of Toyotomi company.
So he could move the money. However he didn’t have huge territories, a lot of castles and a lot of samurais. It means he wasn’t good for war.
For the above reason, Toyotomi Hideyoshi didn’t choose Mitsunari Ishida as Gotairo.
Sorry if I’m wrong.
@@hourenkomatsuna5922 Thanks for the answer.
my doubt was the reason, that almost every game about that time puts, that the last hope of the toyotomi house (from 1598 to 1600), was mitsunari.
And sorry my bad english, i am brazilian
Mistunari is looked down upon by other daimyos
Could the toyotomi have succeeded if hideyoshi just murder Tokugawa ieyasue?
Ieyasu is in an old age then, Hideyoshi probably prefer to wait for natural causes rather risk a civil war. The contemporary chinese dynasty founder, Zhu Yuanzhang, is another commonner who became ruler, ordered the executions of tens of thousands of the subordinates who brought him to power and their families. If the samurai clams think that this fate is going to befelll them, a conspiracy will be formed. Nevertheless, Hideyoshi, should be inspired by his example instead of Nobunaga ambitions, the Ming lasted. Even, if he killed Tokugawa, another challenger might appear in the council. Samurai betrayed each others much more than honor their words. Korea took much time and resources that should have been used to centralize his authority.
Pena q n tem em português.
Can you tell what happen to Tokugawa during imjin war period,we are rarely to hear what happened in 1592-1597 in japan
Nothing actually except for Tokugawa iyeasu had to spent that entire time with Hideyoshi.Since the Tokugawa clan was based at Kanto region in east they almost had no contribution in the Imjin war
Due to the stalemate at Komaki-Nagakute, the treaty signed between the Tokugawa and the Toyotomi gave the Tokugawa an almost free hand. They didn't have to send any forces to Korea and thus just spent the time building up. Ieyasu just made relations with a lot of other clans, sowing seeds of doubt in some and allying with others. It's why some Toyotomi generals like Kato Kiyomasa later rebelled against the Toyotomi.
Making Edo richer. Peace is boring to read, but it hold the source of power.
Ieyasu the cunning SOB did not commit his force for the invasion, he just let the other foolish daimyos weaken themselves and strengthened his own.
To me he’ll always be Tokichiro
Gotta say he was a bit of a pushover boss tho Kashin after him was harder
So that was the death poem Hideyoshi recited when he walked to the land of the dead in Nioh 2
The game is surprisingly hostorically accurate for a game abot slaying Yokai
The rise of the Usurper has begun.
Tokugawa was nowhere near the usurper as Hideyoshi was. Hideyoshi was neither a noble nor an heir to Nobunaga. He even contrived to have a family tree where he can claim to have Fujiwara blood even though he was peasant stock.
@@mikotagayuna8494 preach brother
Ironic since Ieyasu has more claim to the "throne" because of his lineage than Hideyoshi.
SPOILER ALERT
Fun fact: Yi Sun Shin wasn't actually a hero because he did his best to escape from Samurai fleets to save his soldiers. His fake hero story was made up by Koreans later.
Could I get the source for that?
@@orangesqueasy Sure. Please have a look at en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Myeongnyang
@@orangesqueasy The reason Samurai fleets returned to Japan was Hideyoshi Toyotomi's death, because he was the one who ordered every Samurai to invade Korean Peninsula. The invasion became nonsense because of his death. Later Koreans made up a fake story by saying Yi Sun Shin defeated Samurai fleets but that wasn't true. The truth was Samurai abandoned their invasion to Korea.
Then, why did Admiral Togo admire Yi so much?
@@cody0710 lmao even the japanese samurai held admiral yi sun shin in such high regard. Stop saying stvpid thing.
