The idea that Nobunaga murdered civilians and burnt villages is being challenged recently that the accounts came from the Anti-Oda coalition to spread outrage against his clan but Nobunaga being Nobunaga let it happen because he liked the idea. He fully embraced that "Demon King" moniker that the coalition placed on him.
It's honestly starting to sound like that he was harsh, but fair. (Ignoring for the moment his eccentricities.) He just did his thing and didn't give a shite about how people perceived him. Fun fact, Nobunaga was also Japan's (and the world's) first Gun Otaku. He was so enamored by the weapons that the Dutch brought over that he granted the Dutch a bunch of liberties that foreigners typically didn't get, and partly because of that he was actually pretty tolerant of the practice of Christianity. Unfortunately, the slight association with Oda is a main reason (more of an excuse, really - but I digress) that Christianity became so heavily persecuted in Japan after the Sengoku Period.
@@SockieTheSockPuppet he wasnt a "gun otaku" he was a warlord who knew war as swords and bows. Japan was completely isolated so this was basically magic to him. And after the Americans came they wanted to close the island again, Christianity was a completely foreign influence. They hated anything foreign (including guns actually, but that obviously couldn't last)
@slasher1563 It is an undeniable fact that Nobunaga was utterly obsessed with guns after he met the Dutch. His interest absolutely went to the level of an Otaku. And as he was so smitten, he let Christianity be taught because he didn't want to stop the flow of guns. This is easily found information.

The truth about Nobunaga 1. He is not much of a drinker. 2. He loves sweet foods (fruits, confections given by missionaries) and once presented Ieyasu with homemade sweets. 3. When Azuchi Castle was completed, it was opened to the public for a fee to commemorate the event. Nobunaga himself was in charge of the admission desk on the day of the event. Later, by order of Nobunaga, the surrounding villages were temporarily banned from using lights at night (to light up the castle). 4.Hideyoshi's wife sent a letter of complaint to Nobunaga, saying that Hideyoshi's love for women was terrible. Nobunaga said, 'I think you have become a more beautiful and wonderful woman than when we first met. It is terrible that Hideyoshi, who married such a woman, is constantly committing adultery.' I'll warn the 'bald mouse'(Hideyoshi) in an official letter, so they'll be in a better mood. He replies with a letter that reads something like this This letter loses margins in the middle of the letter, and the second half of the letter has shorter line spacing.
This is an excerpt from the travel diary of Shimazu Iehisa (brother of Shimazu Yoshihiro). (April 21, 1575,) I saw Oda Kazusa-Dono's(Nobunaga) army returning from Osaka to Kyoto. There were nine military flags, and the flag design used the Eiraku Tongpo Nobunaga was preceded by 20 cavalrymen of the Kingsguard. There were about a hundred Kingsguard, and each horse had special armor on it. Nobunaga had three replacement horses. Nobunaga passed by, dozing in his leather robe. The number of soldiers gathered from 17 controlled areas was unimaginable.
@@raphu2272 Nobunaga wrote a letter, but the text was too long to be written on a single sheet of paper. He therefore narrowed the space between lines in the latter half of the letter and reduced the size of the letters to accommodate this.
Hideyoshi had a long way to go to unify Japan. The coup against him may have had something to do with him massacring thousands of innocent civilians at the forest near Osaka.
That last line is absolutely false. The Sengoku Jidai didn't end until 20 years later with the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. So much goes on between Nobunaga's death and the end of the period.
In Japanese history, the period starting from 1467 AD until Ashikaga Yoshiaki's expulsion from Kyoto (1573) is called the sengoku period. The period after that is called the Azuchi-Momoyama period (until 1603). Strictly speaking, since civil wars continued in Japan, there is certainly a view that the period up to the fall of Toyotomi was the sengoku period.
Yes, because Hideyoshi was small of stature and had a more simian face. Nobody dared calling him a monkey to his face, but keeping the monkey at the court was like a backhand slap 😅
Oda Nobunaga had a black man who was actually his own bodyguard/ samurai name Yusake in the late 1500s. Just look up black samurai if it's actually not Oda Nobunaga then it was actually Tomitomo Hideyoshi had the black samurai. Tokugawa had his white English man name William Adams first time a white man to be a samurai and also had servants, wife, retainer samurai warriors, land, property, and a house.
tokugawa also has a jesuit secretary in his court, tokugawa knows the dangers of the foreigners thats why he had both catholics(portuguese) and protestants(englishmen and dutch) so thay they would keep each other in check

He’s not known to be infamous or anything whatsoever in fact he was absolute legend. He’s the one who hired black samurai and burned the temple that was literally so corrupted and attacking villagers and stealing things. He built the castle that anyone could pay visit and tour around. He always loved his citizen and never tried to overcharge taxes nor ordered them to do something. He always cared about equality and fairness. He also absolutely hated those who commit sexual crimes and those kind of crimes in general so he used to spend his time off to go down to villages and patrol around and when he found someone doing sexual harassment n stuff, he slashed their head off without any hesitation. His stories just keep going on, but all I can say is that he was the best shogun Japan ever had in my opinion. We Japanese wish we had him in now in our modern times.
The fact for that he able to defeat larger army than his own size is during the imagawa yoshimoto reign, because of his luck and knowledge that he able to defeat their army
If you compare it to Hideyoshi, he is still had a long way to go to rule. He is too ruthless like killing all hidetsugu family, and one of them is princess of Mogami clan. How Hideyoshi think its a good idea killing a daughter of one prominent clan like Mogami. Hideyoshi apparently only good at war, he dont know how to deal with a lot of clan under him like ieyasu or nobunaga good at. And also, most of his loyal general comes from his first wife connection. Who apparently he didnt satisfied at. Alth its like that, his first wife still loyal to him. And when he is dead, his first wife support Ieyasu forces and life as a nun with her own temple builded by Ieyasu himself. Look, even Ieyasu Tokugawa respect his first wife. Like i said before, i think its due to his background that makes him like who he was.
Crazy how Nobunaga calls Hideyoshi, one of his retainer, successor, and the 2nd unifier of the country, little monkey. Even in Koei’ s SW he is depicted as a monkey
@@robustanybody5138 There's definitely a difference depending on the era, but I'm pretty sure during the Edo period the two were quite muddled together. Yasuke was given a sword directly from Nobunaga, a house, and a stipend like any other samurai at the time. He was also there during Nobunaga's death.
I think it's funny how people usually think of a Person as either good or bad when in reality everyone has his good and bad traits in reality people aren't one dimensional like in Movies. Only because a leader was brutal against His enemys does'nt mean he would'nt be chill towards his friends and killer could be the most Kind Person towards an Animal
Some temples were protected by his order when Nobunaga burned down Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt. Hiei. The year before the burning of Enryaku-ji, the allied forces of Azai and Asakura and the priests of Enryaku-ji attacked the area controlled by Nobunaga. Nobunaga's vassal, Yoshinari Mori (father of Ranmaru Mori), fought them and defended his castle, but was killed in battle. The surrounding temples refused to accommodate and bury the body of "Buddha's enemy" Nobunaga of his vassal, yoshinari. Since they were on the side of Enryaku-ji. However, only one of those temples, syoju-Raigo-ji, housed Yoshinari's body and mourned him carefully. Nobunaga was so grateful that he forbade an attack on this temple during the attack on Enryaku-ji and had his soldiers protect it.
To be fair, if you win the campaign mode no matter what faction you use, there will be a short ending video on your daimyo get a statue in modern Japan
just when nobunaga gonna achieve his dream and unified made the realm in peace an hypocrite mitsuhide ambush him and kill his heir thank God his trusted general that adore him take over and rule japan until another nobunaga admirer ieasu a childhood friend suceed them and rule japan
It has been said that Oda was a pretty open man to sexual ventures with men and woman. He had a relationship with a pageboy as a rumor among his castle while he was in a relationship with another boy Toshiie. It was also rumored that Oda had the hots for Yasuke the African bodyguard that he had purchased.
