I was legitimately caught off guard by the English in this for some reason. I came here with every intention of watching a Japanese reenactment, so it threw me for a loop.
Fun fact: The guy who accompanies Tadeyoshi and wore a horned helmet with red armor is Ii Naomasa. This guy was a ruthless, courageous and loyal samurai who served for Tokugawa Ieyasu. He's famous for leading the elite Tokugawa cavalry, the "Red Devils".
li naomasa is not tokugawa's cavalry general. naomasa is a leader of his own clan, the li. he got his own banner, and territory. the li's are a vassal of tokugawa. so he fight for him. naomasa is inspired by a takeda general, yamagata masakage. yamagata are the first one who create red uniforms unit who also called the red devil. thats why naomasa and his soldiers also wear red armors.
@@Stealther11 apparently it was Shimazu Toyohisa that shot him with his gun that later killed him. Toyohisa stayed behind to let his uncle go back to Satsuma to regroup. Later on they beat the Tokugawa clan.
If you think about it. Tokugawa's decision to fire at Hideaki Kobayakawa is a sound strategy even if it sounded insane when you hear it the first time. In fact, it is the most rational thing Tokugawa can do at the time other than ignore him and let Hideaki's cowardice decide for both sides. Specifically, Hideaki was promised both sides to flank the other side because he is a indecisive coward, so, by preparing for Hideaki's attack and pre-emptively firing at him, Tokugawa ensures that he will be best prepared in the case of Hideaki attacks him and also increases the chance of Hideaki will attack Mitsunari because the coward will likely attack the easier target--the Mitsunari and their allies who have their backs and flanks turned toward him instead of Tokugawa who are readied to defend against his assault.
Actually Otani Yoshitsugu who was on Mitsunari's side, predicted that Hideaki will betray Mitsunari.. He also positioned some of his troops against Hideaki since he was the closest to Hideaki & the other turncoats..
thing is... they were never this uniform. there were dozens if not hundreds of different banner types and outside the ashigaru, every samurai armor was unique.
For a BCC tv production (this was from a series 2007/2008 called 'Heroes and Villains', retitled 'Warriors' when broadcast in the united states, and released around) this is pretty good. I've certainly seen better depictions of battles of the Sengoku Jidai, but I've also seen worse too. Budget is probably a factor in this, as well as a production staff with a workman, tv level experience. As previous replies mention it's not the most historically accurate (the uniformity of the banners given both armies were really confederations of Daimyo with their own banners). However, some of this simplification might have been necessary given the episode brevity, its English-speaking audience that likely won't have prior knowledge of even this most famous event in Japanese history, and, again, its budget. It's one of the better episodes of its uneven series at least, along with the Napoleon episode that focused on the siege of Toulon.

Phantom3660 being an anime fan...i love and i am used to seeing subbed videos with the original voiceover. But you wouldnt believe the amount of people who only prefer english dubs.
Phantom3660 they were versed in English and Portuguese at this point in history, where do you think they got the arquebus's? And the jesuits? It's odd for the reenactment but the Japanese were not ignorant of foreign language. It wasn't until the beans were spilled about the churches real aims that western foreigners were actively ejected and persecuted. I recommend A history of The Japanese people by Dairoku Kikuchi. It's free to download and uncolored by later nationalist revision. It's also in English :)
The Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch were also the ones who supplied the Samurai Clans with guns during this period, and the Japanese ultimately learned how to make Matchlock muskets themselves. what gave the Japanese more of an advantage was that the Europeans were more interested in China then Japan when it came to trade, hell the only reason Europeans landed in Japan in the first place was because some Portuguese ships were blown off course by a storm
+Rosario Manorang Manik Different in the change in balance of power, but very similar in the decisiveness of its outcome. The Battle of Sekigahara pacified Japan for two centuries, Waterloo pacified Europe until the 1st World War.
+Tovarishch Martins What about the Crimean and Franco-Prussian Wars? Certainly didn't pacify those. Bismarck basically controlled Europe throughout the latter half of the 19th century.
well.... no. franco prussian war, first and second schleswig war, innergerman unification war, prusso austrian war, the too many to list wars in the balkans, crimean war the list is long..... very long. the longest peacetime in history in europe is since the end of the second world war up to now. thanks to the nato and the european union
It's a simplification for people to reduce this down to "loyal vs. disloyal." Many of the leaders involved at Sekigahara had debts and obligations to both sides. Everyone had been forced to swear fealty to the Toyotomi line, so it's not like this one guy or that one guy broke their word. The Toyotomi rule was in jeopardy the moment Hideyoshi became terminally ill with an infant son and creating an ineffectual bureaucracy to try to stalemate everything until his son (who turned out hugely incompetent later) had time to come of age. The Toyotomi family simply wasn't destined to rule Japan. Based on what we know of his behavior as a young man during the Osaka campaigns, he was not a fraction of the leader he would have needed to be to pick up the mantle of his father. Point 2.... losing the battle "only" because you were outmanuevered for allies and were unaware that people were going to turn on you, is losing the battle. They are not separate things.
Ah the great traitor just below Akechi, his uncle has given him everything he has. Hideyoshi was as poor as a rat and he gave his sister family all they have, power, comfort and prestige but this is the payment for that generosity.
Can't blame Hideaki. He was a decorated war veteran during the invasion of Korea but had his lands instead given to some neighboring lord by Mitsunari which pissed him off so much.
@@Scorpion51123314512 Yeah :D According to popular anecdote Otani Yoshitsugu (the man he attacked when he betrayed his allies) cursed him to die within 3 years.
@@jorgep102 According to the portrayal in the film this clip is from, it is because Ishida Mitsunari had been unduly harsh towards him in the past and demanded his execution for something, I forget what, and it is only because Tokugawa Ieyasu vouched for him that he was allowed to live.
2:39 wait a minute... So, you have a horse (which is a great advantage in a plain battlefield), charging the enemy, and then chooses to jump on said enemies mid-charge with an open chest? that doesn't seem very tactical
I think it had less to do with tactics and more to do with how the Japanese considered it a great honour to die for their country. But agreed, very tactical.
Contrary to common myth it was not a good idea to remain on mounted horse or even charge on it most of the time. Horse legs are delicate. A charge on horse back breaks enemy lines and then you dismount the horse and use the sword dependinf on grund and equipment. And thats the dangerous stupid way to do it and it usually fails. You only use a cavalry charge after the enemy infantry lines are already broken or risk the horse life when they refuse to rush into a defensive formation or the enemy lines break the charge with simple but adequate defensive tactics
Oh definitely. The average soldier might not even notice that it happened until its too late because you as a soldier would not see everything that is going on. That sense of confusion is one reason why flank attacks are so effective.
Hideaki Kobayakawa has lived and acted like a coward and died like a coward. I know that 2 years after Sekigahara he died of illness and had no successor to his clan therefore the Kobayakawa clan was no more and the provinces he was awarded after Sekigahara were given to the Asano clan (The very same clan that gave birth to the legendary 47 Ronin legend/history). In reality this betrayal was a waste upon the forces of Mitsunari and the Toyotomi clan, destroyed by the hand of an incompetent Daimyo who spends all his time worrying and indecisive. I do applaud Ieyasu's victory at Sekigahara though. Even without Hideaki's betray he still would have one with the help of veteran generals that have lived the entire Sengoku Jidai and an eventual arrival of his late son Hidetada Tokugawa plus also Ieyasu has been a long standing Daimyo in warfare since he's served both Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi. May any descendant of Hideaki forever live in shame (Not shame for long time.forever but just a smudge of shame on their name and history)
***** Did I ever mention that at times he would attack his own villages and ever assault women and children for no apparent reason. Some even speculate that he might've been a bit mentally ill to almost the point of insanity in which by all means I consider him yes an insane and dishonorable person that he has the audacity to assault the people that serve him. He is worser than Tadanao Matsudaira whom was the grandson of Ieyasu who owned the great fief of Echizen that gave him an almost gross million koku that he simply tossed away after his grandfather did not promote him to hatamoto when he and the Echizen troops were the very first to storm the castle of Osaka and even take the head of Yukimura Sanada. The only reason he tossed it was because it was not worth being a lower rank daimyo when he basically almost sacrificed his life and clan to destroy the Toyotomi. How is when he started to become mad and held a tournament in which he said that all competitors were to use live blades which was illegal during the reign of Hidetada Tokugawa. Because of this controversy the Shogunate exiled Tadanao and for the remainder of his life was a Buddhist Priest in Kyushu. At least Tadanao repented.
blindwillie99 I read it myself and really didn't find any character that was based upon Hideaki. You can research online to see and check who it might be though.
blindwillie99 Indeed and the story has a good early indepth to how foreign powers from Europe played a minor role and how they stand within Japanese society during the Sengoku period.
+Nobunaga Oda (Mark Robles) The reason Hidetada was late, if my history is correct, was due to a conflict that may have happened on his way to Sekigahara. Wasn't there a battle between Hidetada's forces (among that army was Nobuyuki Sanada and his forces) and the combined forces of Nobushige and Masayuki Sanada, or was that fictional? I know that Nobushige and Nobuyuki were on seperate sides of the war, with the younger brother and father supporting Mitsunari and the older brother supporting the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Samurai (侍) were the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan from the late 12th century to their abolition in 1876. They were the well-paid retainers of the daimyo (the great feudal landholders). They had high prestige and special privileges such as wearing two swords.
It was all a ruse. Hideaki and Tokugawa obviously had agreed to join forces before the battle, and Hideaki had instructions to wait for the best moment to strike. When Tokugawa signalled for a feigned retreat to get his opponent to commit more fully to the assault, Tokugawa signalled Hideaki with the cannons to attack. But that's not recorded as the official narrative, because those tactics were considered "shamefrul". Keep in mind that while Hideyaki had previously promised his aid to Mitsunari, Mitsunari had Hideaki stripped of his lands for brashness during the japanese invasion of korea. Lands which Tokugawa restored to Hideaki.

+Young Victor It's actually stuff you can examine from different sources. We know the Japanese got fucked up badly when they just charged at Korean fortifications the same way they were used to doing with primitive Japanese castles that were constructed to weather earthquakes, not to be 100% a defensive fortification.
It could be a strategy. It is a sound strategy even if it sounded insane when you hear it the first time. In fact, it is the most rational thing Tokugawa can do at the time other than ignore him and let Hideaki's cowardice decide for both sides. Specifically, Hideaki was promised both sides to flank the other side because he is a indecisive coward, so, by preparing for Hideaki's attack and pre-emptively firing at him, Tokugawa ensures that he will be best prepared in the case of Hideaki attacks him and also increases the chance of Hideaki will attack Mitsunari because the coward will likely attack the easier target--the Mitsunari and their allies who have their backs and flanks turned towards him instead of Tokugawa who are readied to defend against his assault.
Imagine if last Game of thrones season. And when Cersei thinks she won, her entire lannister army at her back whilst the golden company fighting the starks. Betrays Queen Cersei and goes on to attack them. That would be cool to see that.
Of all things interesting about this battle the video somehow chose to focused on this weird sub plot abuot Matsudaira Tadayoshi... Also, what debt of honor? Tokugawa side simply promised Hideaki the title of Imperial Regent (Kampaku) if he joined his side. So did Mitsunari, that's the reason he was hesitate is simple, he didn't know who to bet on. And, in hindsight, it's a stupid mistake, the promised of Tokugawa side was never made by Ieyasu himself, and was of course not kept. On the other hand Mitsunari's promise was signed by himself along side four other daimyō.
(Sorry for the necro-post): It's important that they focused on Tadayoshi. The bulk of the Tokugawa clan was sent with Hidetada (2nd son) on the Northern route so, at the time of battle, most of the Western Army was made of former Toyotomi clan loyalists (i.e. Fukushima Masanori, who was supposed to be the one to attack first). If Ieyasu were to have him strike, it would mean that a Toyotomi clan member, and not the Tokugawa, would have first honors in battle. This would've shamed him completely in the eyes of the other lords he was trying to rule and would allow Fukushima to have an outsized role to play in the post-battle realm. The first son, Nobuyasu, had committed suicide upon Nobunaga's orders decades before the battle while the third son had been adopted and married into the Yuki family, making him no longer a part of the Tokugawa. His fifth son was too weak and was left to defend Edo Castle, leaving only Tadayoshi to travel as part of the main army under Ieyasu. Thus, in order to protect the Tokugawa family honor, Tadayoshi was sent with Ii Naomasa to the front to "observe" and then attack, causing him to be the one who achieved first battle honors and preserving the prestige of the Tokugawa Family.
hjpop Well, to me that's like one of the least interesting part. Compares to all the drama within the west army, and how Ieyasu's heir of succession was stupidity late to the battlefield.
Guns were introduced into Japan around 1549. It was instrumental to the Nobunaga victory against the Takeda forces at the battle of Nagashino by 1575. It was certainly being used in Japan in huge numbers before the 1600s.
Firing at Hideaki actually makes sense if you think about it, it FORCED him to make a decision, on Tokagawa’s terms, he couldn’t sit there and just get blasted, it forced his hand, if he attacks Tokagawa, then at least he’s being rushed into the attack not at his preferred moment, and if Tokagawa was going to end up fighting him, better sooner than later while he still had fairly fresh troops. It’s also easier for Hideaki to assault the side that isn’t firing cannons at him, also ensuring that went for the easier target. It was a masterful play on his psychology
Sekigahara was the English equivalent of battle of Bosworth field and Kobayakawa was the counter part of Stanley. Damn I wonder how much overlap world history from culture to culture out there.
If your looking for similarities between 3 opposinbg forces Bosworth is more appropriate to Sekigahara, the Reinforcments arriving at Towtons loyalties where not in question while the Stanleys at Bosworth stayed unengaged most of the fight and eventually turned on the lord who had been allied to them when they marched onto the field.
Me: The unification of any country fully into a nation is a very, very, very bloody process, sword, dagger or quill & paper Tokugawa Ieyasu: This gaijin understands!
How do you think they would have sounded to each other? Unintelligible and requiring subtitles? They would have sounded very natural to each other, just like English does to the intended audience.
Isn't Kobayakawa related through a series of adoptions to Mori Terumoto? (Second cousin in law I suppose) He really was going against his own family there. Terumoto even inherited the title of "elder" from Kobayakawa's own adoptive father, because he had died before Hideyoshi did.
Well, The Mori lower officer like Hiroie Kikkawa held back the Western Army and wanted to betray them, but they are holding still until the end of the battle
European lost to a Mongolian of about140cm and a small horse. Europe is poorer than Asia and Islam until it has colonies. Look now, Europe which has lost its colony is declining. Where is the British Empire? Your ancestors were delighted by the potatoes they looted from Indonesia long ago right xD and The size of the 16th century Britain is very small. How poor was it?
No. Dammit no! Why is it that in every cinematic representation of ancient or medieval combat the two sides always throw formations completely to the wind and just intermix with everyone fighting everyone!? Show some authentic battlefield tactics for once!
And along with those 2 reasons warriors used to train for years, these guys hae a bunch of actors so i expect without time and effort put into training it wouldn't look very authentic even if they where honest to god trying.
If I remember correctly at Sekigahara the two armies actually stumbled right into each other in thick fog. So there's nothing in this video that's remotely accurate.
The frontline troops may have stumbled upon each other (Ii Naomasa's guard and Tadayoshi actually led the first strike) in the fog but by the time that the battle truly began, it was pretty clear and bright.
Has Anyone else noticed the similar setting of 2 rival armys hoping a 3. neutral army would join them during the fight like in these Battle and the Battle of Bosworth Fields during the War of Roses?
If he wasn't killed then Oda Nobunaga would have been shogun not Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ieyasu hired genuine shinobi (ninjas) to help him gain power and the greatest samurai of all time Musashi Miyamoto actually fought as a soldier in some of those battles so it must have been a glorious time to have been a warrior but after Ieyasu became shogun and united the entire country under his command there was finally peace after hundreds of years of constant wars but the samurai didn't have shit to do after all the fighting stopped so the samurai really didn't have a purpose anymore so it must have been a better time for them before the shogunate was established because they had the chance to fight in many battles and they were able to show their skill with the katana sword and gain more honor and reputation with every battle they fought in and nowadays the Yakuza are like modern day warriors they go to war with eachother and are men of honor just like the samurai were and they are very powerful in Japan and their leader is like a modern day shogun but anyways I really like the Japanese culture its beautiful.

徳川家康は秀吉の死後、秀秋の領地を拡げさせたため、秀秋に感謝されていた。
最新の研究では、秀秋は開戦前から徳川に味方すると決めていたとする説が有力になりつつある。
そんな秀秋を豊臣家出身だからという理由で、味方だと思い込んでいた三成が愚かだった。
@@user-wb3sn7wb9hthat is a very information, thank you
Well that's new, I didn't know back on days Japanese know how to speak English fluently. lol
Phantom3660 being an anime fan...i love and i am used to seeing subbed videos with the original voiceover. But you wouldnt believe the amount of people who only prefer english dubs.
DA_G Man I'll buy that, tbh, English dubs are so inaccurate..
Phantom3660 they were versed in English and Portuguese at this point in history, where do you think they got the arquebus's? And the jesuits? It's odd for the reenactment but the Japanese were not ignorant of foreign language. It wasn't until the beans were spilled about the churches real aims that western foreigners were actively ejected and persecuted. I recommend A history of The Japanese people by Dairoku Kikuchi. It's free to download and uncolored by later nationalist revision. It's also in English :)
You mean "fruentry". XD
The Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch were also the ones who supplied the Samurai Clans with guns during this period, and the Japanese ultimately learned how to make Matchlock muskets themselves. what gave the Japanese more of an advantage was that the Europeans were more interested in China then Japan when it came to trade, hell the only reason Europeans landed in Japan in the first place was because some Portuguese ships were blown off course by a storm

The Japanese Waterloo
+Rosario Manorang Manik Different in the change in balance of power, but very similar in the decisiveness of its outcome. The Battle of Sekigahara pacified Japan for two centuries, Waterloo pacified Europe until the 1st World War.
Tovarishch Martins The balance of power was there as well, because Napoleon fought against the British army which was equally strong than his own.
+Tovarishch Martins What about the Crimean and Franco-Prussian Wars? Certainly didn't pacify those. Bismarck basically controlled Europe throughout the latter half of the 19th century.
well.... no. franco prussian war, first and second schleswig war, innergerman unification war, prusso austrian war, the too many to list wars in the balkans, crimean war
the list is long..... very long.
the longest peacetime in history in europe is since the end of the second world war up to now.
thanks to the nato and the european union
France declared war on Isis. So that's done aswell.
dont worry mitsunari, you'll get your revenge in 200 years later, the boshin war...
This battle cost more lives than the bloody Gettysburg within several hours
funny enough, the sister towns for Sekigahara, Japan, are Waterloo, Belgium, and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
It's a simplification for people to reduce this down to "loyal vs. disloyal." Many of the leaders involved at Sekigahara had debts and obligations to both sides. Everyone had been forced to swear fealty to the Toyotomi line, so it's not like this one guy or that one guy broke their word. The Toyotomi rule was in jeopardy the moment Hideyoshi became terminally ill with an infant son and creating an ineffectual bureaucracy to try to stalemate everything until his son (who turned out hugely incompetent later) had time to come of age. The Toyotomi family simply wasn't destined to rule Japan. Based on what we know of his behavior as a young man during the Osaka campaigns, he was not a fraction of the leader he would have needed to be to pick up the mantle of his father.
Point 2.... losing the battle "only" because you were outmanuevered for allies and were unaware that people were going to turn on you, is losing the battle. They are not separate things.
I am a Japanese. We are proud of samurai even now.
So you should be
Even when they were constantly betraying and backstabbing each other
Ah the great traitor just below Akechi, his uncle has given him everything he has. Hideyoshi was as poor as a rat and he gave his sister family all they have, power, comfort and prestige but this is the payment for that generosity.
I didnt have time to play Shogun 2 to fill my urges after watching the finale last night, so now I'm here
if Hideaki held any loyalty to his lord with other daimyos who had problems with Mitsunari,the battle would be easily won by Ishida.Shameful betrayal.
load Mitsunari 🙇
Well, he wasn't all right in the head. Drank himself to death 2 years later, at the age of 25
But they didn't respect mitsunari a couple daimyos didn't listen to him in battle which was his downfall.
*A shamefur dispray*
Watching this because the Shogun finale left me with blue balls.
Exactly my thoughts
💯
Haha same I was so hoping to see the battle
ieyasu really gambing whole japan's future by firing those cannons lol
Sekigahara was the biggest Samurai gathering in history...
FX: lol, nope, too expensive.
We just lost all budget for great costumes.
That day Ieyasu recognised something within the psych of the young man.... That Hideyaki was an idiot and a traitor
Carl John you spelt his name wrong. It's Hideaki
Can't blame Hideaki. He was a decorated war veteran during the invasion of Korea but had his lands instead given to some neighboring lord by Mitsunari which pissed him off so much.
@@choysakanto6792 what's more sad about Hideaki is after Sekigahara he went supposedly insane and died at a young age.
@@Scorpion51123314512 Yeah :D According to popular anecdote Otani Yoshitsugu (the man he attacked when he betrayed his allies) cursed him to die within 3 years.
My family were samurai class from Okayama. Sadly, the daimyo of Okayama supported the Toyotomi Clan at Sekigahara and ended up on the losing side...
Why hideyaki betrayed his own clan?
@@jorgep102 According to the portrayal in the film this clip is from, it is because Ishida Mitsunari had been unduly harsh towards him in the past and demanded his execution for something, I forget what, and it is only because Tokugawa Ieyasu vouched for him that he was allowed to live.
Sad?? It is sad not being backstabbing worm???
But your family survived.
2:39 wait a minute... So, you have a horse (which is a great advantage in a plain battlefield), charging the enemy, and then chooses to jump on said enemies mid-charge with an open chest? that doesn't seem very tactical
Thank you. Thank you very much.
well your horse would get killed and you would fall anyway cos there was guns and stuff.
I think it had less to do with tactics and more to do with how the Japanese considered it a great honour to die for their country. But agreed, very tactical.
If everyone considers it as a dumb thing to do, doing it will surely take the enemy by surprise.
Contrary to common myth it was not a good idea to remain on mounted horse or even charge on it most of the time. Horse legs are delicate. A charge on horse back breaks enemy lines and then you dismount the horse and use the sword dependinf on grund and equipment. And thats the dangerous stupid way to do it and it usually fails.
You only use a cavalry charge after the enemy infantry lines are already broken or risk the horse life when they refuse to rush into a defensive formation or the enemy lines break the charge with simple but adequate defensive tactics
I imagine it must be really confusing for the soldiers when their commanders are changing sides.
Oh definitely. The average soldier might not even notice that it happened until its too late because you as a soldier would not see everything that is going on. That sense of confusion is one reason why flank attacks are so effective.
Play for dead and hope nobody steps on you.
This is some shamefrul dispray
wait.....weren't you at the video about Soviet Russia saying you were a Commie or something?
yeah probably
The Drifters brought me here from the 1st episode.
Hideaki Kobayakawa has lived and acted like a coward and died like a coward. I know that 2 years after Sekigahara he died of illness and had no successor to his clan therefore the Kobayakawa clan was no more and the provinces he was awarded after Sekigahara were given to the Asano clan (The very same clan that gave birth to the legendary 47 Ronin legend/history). In reality this betrayal was a waste upon the forces of Mitsunari and the Toyotomi clan, destroyed by the hand of an incompetent Daimyo who spends all his time worrying and indecisive. I do applaud Ieyasu's victory at Sekigahara though. Even without Hideaki's betray he still would have one with the help of veteran generals that have lived the entire Sengoku Jidai and an eventual arrival of his late son Hidetada Tokugawa plus also Ieyasu has been a long standing Daimyo in warfare since he's served both Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi. May any descendant of Hideaki forever live in shame (Not shame for long time.forever but just a smudge of shame on their name and history)
***** Did I ever mention that at times he would attack his own villages and ever assault women and children for no apparent reason. Some even speculate that he might've been a bit mentally ill to almost the point of insanity in which by all means I consider him yes an insane and dishonorable person that he has the audacity to assault the people that serve him. He is worser than Tadanao Matsudaira whom was the grandson of Ieyasu who owned the great fief of Echizen that gave him an almost gross million koku that he simply tossed away after his grandfather did not promote him to hatamoto when he and the Echizen troops were the very first to storm the castle of Osaka and even take the head of Yukimura Sanada. The only reason he tossed it was because it was not worth being a lower rank daimyo when he basically almost sacrificed his life and clan to destroy the Toyotomi. How is when he started to become mad and held a tournament in which he said that all competitors were to use live blades which was illegal during the reign of Hidetada Tokugawa. Because of this controversy the Shogunate exiled Tadanao and for the remainder of his life was a Buddhist Priest in Kyushu. At least Tadanao repented.
Yeah, Yup, and Indeed to all that.
blindwillie99 I read it myself and really didn't find any character that was based upon Hideaki. You can research online to see and check who it might be though.
blindwillie99 Indeed and the story has a good early indepth to how foreign powers from Europe played a minor role and how they stand within Japanese society during the Sengoku period.
+Nobunaga Oda (Mark Robles) The reason Hidetada was late, if my history is correct, was due to a conflict that may have happened on his way to Sekigahara. Wasn't there a battle between Hidetada's forces (among that army was Nobuyuki Sanada and his forces) and the combined forces of Nobushige and Masayuki Sanada, or was that fictional?
I know that Nobushige and Nobuyuki were on seperate sides of the war, with the younger brother and father supporting Mitsunari and the older brother supporting the Tokugawa Shogunate.
Hey mate, can't get enough of "Shogun" after the series ends? 😊
Samurai (侍) were the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan from the late 12th century to their abolition in 1876. They were the well-paid retainers of the daimyo (the great feudal landholders). They had high prestige and special privileges such as wearing two swords.
It was all a ruse. Hideaki and Tokugawa obviously had agreed to join forces before the battle, and Hideaki had instructions to wait for the best moment to strike. When Tokugawa signalled for a feigned retreat to get his opponent to commit more fully to the assault, Tokugawa signalled Hideaki with the cannons to attack.
But that's not recorded as the official narrative, because those tactics were considered "shamefrul".
Keep in mind that while Hideyaki had previously promised his aid to Mitsunari, Mitsunari had Hideaki stripped of his lands for brashness during the japanese invasion of korea. Lands which Tokugawa restored to Hideaki.
+Young Victor
It's actually stuff you can examine from different sources. We know the Japanese got fucked up badly when they just charged at Korean fortifications the same way they were used to doing with primitive Japanese castles that were constructed to weather earthquakes, not to be 100% a defensive fortification.
Blah b you really should check out how complex these castles were
lol it wasn't mitsunari had hideyaki stripped of his lands, it was toyotomi.
It could be a strategy. It is a sound strategy even if it sounded insane when you hear it the first time. In fact, it is the most rational thing Tokugawa can do at the time other than ignore him and let Hideaki's cowardice decide for both sides. Specifically, Hideaki was promised both sides to flank the other side because he is a indecisive coward, so, by preparing for Hideaki's attack and pre-emptively firing at him, Tokugawa ensures that he will be best prepared in the case of Hideaki attacks him and also increases the chance of Hideaki will attack Mitsunari because the coward will likely attack the easier target--the Mitsunari and their allies who have their backs and flanks turned towards him instead of Tokugawa who are readied to defend against his assault.
@@allandejesus6896 mitsunari advised toyotomi ya ding dong
すげぇ再現度
This is way more fun than all the books I read about this stuff. Have to admit.
Shame George RRRRRR Martin isn't a student of Japanese history too. Can well imagine this as the perfect climax of the last book.
Imagine if last Game of thrones season. And when Cersei thinks she won, her entire lannister army at her back whilst the golden company fighting the starks. Betrays Queen Cersei and goes on to attack them. That would be cool to see that.
@@colonelgridwood4744 Unfortunaly, the Dumb and Dumber f.... up.
George RR Martin studied Ancient and Medival Western History.
Of all things interesting about this battle the video somehow chose to focused on this weird sub plot abuot Matsudaira Tadayoshi...
Also, what debt of honor? Tokugawa side simply promised Hideaki the title of Imperial Regent (Kampaku) if he joined his side. So did Mitsunari, that's the reason he was hesitate is simple, he didn't know who to bet on.
And, in hindsight, it's a stupid mistake, the promised of Tokugawa side was never made by Ieyasu himself, and was of course not kept.
On the other hand Mitsunari's promise was signed by himself along side four other daimyō.
(Sorry for the necro-post): It's important that they focused on Tadayoshi. The bulk of the Tokugawa clan was sent with Hidetada (2nd son) on the Northern route so, at the time of battle, most of the Western Army was made of former Toyotomi clan loyalists (i.e. Fukushima Masanori, who was supposed to be the one to attack first). If Ieyasu were to have him strike, it would mean that a Toyotomi clan member, and not the Tokugawa, would have first honors in battle. This would've shamed him completely in the eyes of the other lords he was trying to rule and would allow Fukushima to have an outsized role to play in the post-battle realm. The first son, Nobuyasu, had committed suicide upon Nobunaga's orders decades before the battle while the third son had been adopted and married into the Yuki family, making him no longer a part of the Tokugawa. His fifth son was too weak and was left to defend Edo Castle, leaving only Tadayoshi to travel as part of the main army under Ieyasu. Thus, in order to protect the Tokugawa family honor, Tadayoshi was sent with Ii Naomasa to the front to "observe" and then attack, causing him to be the one who achieved first battle honors and preserving the prestige of the Tokugawa Family.
hjpop Well, to me that's like one of the least interesting part. Compares to all the drama within the west army, and how Ieyasu's heir of succession was stupidity late to the battlefield.

Who played the samurai warriors 2 😂👌
i so much learned from this game!
"THERE WEREN'T ANY GUNS IN THE 1600'S!" Every uneducated person in a 1st world country.
Guns were introduced into Japan around 1549. It was instrumental to the Nobunaga victory against the Takeda forces at the battle of Nagashino by 1575. It was certainly being used in Japan in huge numbers before the 1600s.
Clorox Bleach you don't know

you're a fucking moron, guns were available to Japan 50 years before this event happened!
The amount of people that misunderstood this comment...

Wow I never realized they spoke English in medieval Japan. I learned something today.
Firing at Hideaki actually makes sense if you think about it, it FORCED him to make a decision, on Tokagawa’s terms, he couldn’t sit there and just get blasted, it forced his hand, if he attacks Tokagawa, then at least he’s being rushed into the attack not at his preferred moment, and if Tokagawa was going to end up fighting him, better sooner than later while he still had fairly fresh troops.
It’s also easier for Hideaki to assault the side that isn’t firing cannons at him, also ensuring that went for the easier target. It was a masterful play on his psychology

This Samurai speaks perfect English.
Sekigahara was the English equivalent of battle of Bosworth field and Kobayakawa was the counter part of Stanley. Damn I wonder how much overlap world history from culture to culture out there.
The Stanley's were smart men, they played the lord's for a long time always keeping their options open.
More like the battle of Towton I would say, however I take your point.
yeah, just about 10 times bigger
All this has happened before, and it will happen again.
Hey, just 'cause a Cylon said it doesn't make it not true :D
If your looking for similarities between 3 opposinbg forces Bosworth is more appropriate to Sekigahara, the Reinforcments arriving at Towtons loyalties where not in question while the Stanleys at Bosworth stayed unengaged most of the fight and eventually turned on the lord who had been allied to them when they marched onto the field.

Isn't Kobayakawa related through a series of adoptions to Mori Terumoto? (Second cousin in law I suppose)
He really was going against his own family there. Terumoto even inherited the title of "elder" from Kobayakawa's own adoptive father, because he had died before Hideyoshi did.
Well, The Mori lower officer like Hiroie Kikkawa held back the Western Army and wanted to betray them, but they are holding still until the end of the battle

Yuji Okumoto (from Karate Kid II and Netflix series Cobra Kai) being in it is the only reason why I didn't mind it in English.
Fact : 140cm's war. Not samurais, guns ended war. Age of Edo, samurai was just noble. Many of them can't use sword. It was just symbol of noble
European lost to a Mongolian of about140cm and a small horse. Europe is poorer than Asia and Islam until it has colonies. Look now, Europe which has lost its colony is declining. Where is the British Empire? Your ancestors were delighted by the potatoes they looted from Indonesia long ago right xD and The size of the 16th century Britain is very small. How poor was it?
European pride was born to cover the complex of poverty in the past.
No. Dammit no! Why is it that in every cinematic representation of ancient or medieval combat the two sides always throw formations completely to the wind and just intermix with everyone fighting everyone!? Show some authentic battlefield tactics for once!
Gareth Thompson the reason for this is time budget and Hollywood not giving a fuck
And along with those 2 reasons warriors used to train for years, these guys hae a bunch of actors so i expect without time and effort put into training it wouldn't look very authentic even if they where honest to god trying.
If I remember correctly at Sekigahara the two armies actually stumbled right into each other in thick fog. So there's nothing in this video that's remotely accurate.
The frontline troops may have stumbled upon each other (Ii Naomasa's guard and Tadayoshi actually led the first strike) in the fog but by the time that the battle truly began, it was pretty clear and bright.
Truly annoying

If he wasn't killed then Oda Nobunaga would have been shogun not Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ieyasu hired genuine shinobi (ninjas) to help him gain power and the greatest samurai of all time Musashi Miyamoto actually fought as a soldier in some of those battles so it must have been a glorious time to have been a warrior but after Ieyasu became shogun and united the entire country under his command there was finally peace after hundreds of years of constant wars but the samurai didn't have shit to do after all the fighting stopped so the samurai really didn't have a purpose anymore so it must have been a better time for them before the shogunate was established because they had the chance to fight in many battles and they were able to show their skill with the katana sword and gain more honor and reputation with every battle they fought in and nowadays the Yakuza are like modern day warriors they go to war with eachother and are men of honor just like the samurai were and they are very powerful in Japan and their leader is like a modern day shogun but anyways I really like the Japanese culture its beautiful.
