Oda Nobunaga - The RUTHLESS Warlord That Changed Japan FOREVER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- The “Sengoku” or “Warring States” period of 16th century Japan, a period that lasted for almost a whole century, was a time of unprecedented amounts of warfare, violence and suffering. The Ashikaga Shogunate, the country’s military government, had finally lost control over the Japanese provinces outside of the capital in Kyoto, and with no central government around, Japan was now a country divided between countless power-hungry clans and their warlords, the Daimyō. Land, wealth and power were all up for grabs, but who would be the one to TRULY come out on top? Who would be the one to pave the way for an eventual unification of this fragmented Japan?
The answer to both of these questions takes us to a small, unassuming province known as “Owari”, where a man by the name of Oda Nobunaga was born right into the chaos of the Sengoku period. Nobunaga was infamous for being just as rebellious and unconventional in his tactics as he was brutal, a combination which, in some ways, turned out to be EXACTLY what Japan needed in order to finally take the first step towards a prolonged period of peace.
Today, we will take a look at the life of Oda Nobunaga, his wars, his revolutionary tactics, his most cruel decisions and the people that he met along the way, some of which turned out to be arguably JUST as legendary AND important to the history of Japan as Nobunaga himself.

30:00 There is a famous apochryphal story about the personalities of the Three Unifiers. The tale goes that the three of them are sitting together in a garden when they see a songbird that is perched quietly on a nearby tree branch. Oda Nobunaga shakes his fist and shouts that "If that bird does not sing, I will kill it!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi waves his hand and silkily responds, "If that bird does not sing, I will trick it into singing." Tokugawa Ieyasu merely shrugs, reclines, and plainly states, "If that bird does not sing now, I will wait for it to sing."
Honestly that really describes them that it does.

I listened to a small podcast about Oda Nobunaga the other day and wanted to find more info. What a hidden gem this channel is. Great content.
at last you made it , i want the continuation soon
This video was awesome thank you for the information
Your production quality is insane! Keep it up! Amazing video as always!
Thanks a ton! 😬
Grateful for real narration and brilliant content.
AI narration is to the point that if you pay for it, it sounds exactly like you or whichever voice it is trained on. The ones that sound robotic are using freebies.
Such a fascinating presentation...thank you
amazing video. loved the ghost of tsushima soundtrack in the background
Great Content! Subscribed...
Taira Masakado, please. Thanks for another very well-made video!
Hmm, I recognize that Nioh music in the background... XD Good vid!
A thorn in his eye? Ouch! Damn those warrior monks. Just breakin' ball. Please keep pumpin' out these gems.
We, the audience, are like Kings being read their royal chronicles--what a joy and a privilege!
man i was imagining the events like a cgi movie while you were narating i love it thank you so much
Very fascinating, remind me of the relationship of Cao Cao and Sima Yi, Cao Cao died before he can unite China but Sima Yi finished the job (and they too, considered the villains in many aspects of media).
Dude is such a mixed bag. Some consider him a hero. Others a monster.
Oda's greatest strength is the same as his greatest weakness.
He's very fearless in trying something unprecedented. In order to establish a new world order, he amped up the brutality in his campaign, made the guns the primary weapons for his team, burning Enryakuji temple and Ichiyama Honganji temple to destroy the power base of rebel monks which gave him a derogatory nickname of "The Demon King". Unfortunately, his radical approach and brutality made him treated the family members of his generals poorly (Tokugawa and Mitsuhide) which led to the Honnoji.
However, without the groundbreaking approach from Oda, Toyotomi and Tokugawa could never have done what they did. Oda did the dirty works so that when the two successors did the same thing, they faced less resistance to their regimes.
Some corrections. A lot of Nobunaga's wars were defensive one as his enemies conspired to attack him from all sides. Also, the Demon King moniker was a tongue in cheek jab at Takeda Shingen letter to nobunaga, in which Shingen referred to himself as a Diety, and Nobunaga in his reply referred to himself as a Demon King. nobunaga was ruthless, yes but he has been unjustly reviled by historians, as well as his anime/video game renditions.
Very well said@@ElBandito
Awesome
I feel like Nobunaga is still considered a controversial figure. I've read countless manga and seen countless anime that features a demonic Nobunaga as the main villain. Tokugawa tends to get similar treatment. I can't say I've seen many that show Toyotomi as a monster, despite Toyotomi IRL going crazy with power and trying to invade Korea (with the suspected aim of conquering China and installing himself as the Chinese Emperor)
Toyotomi has a soft spot of being a peasant-born who rose to the top. The other two were born as lords in established clans.
@@nont18411 Toyotomi still comes off a bad to me, especially with how he forced Nobunaga's niece to be his concubine as well as the aforementioned invasion of Korea.
Oh? Can you name me some manga and animes?
@@Tsuki-Sii Samurai Deeper Kyo comes to mind. There's also a ton of 90s OVAs about ninjas with that premise
@@fattiger6957 ah I see. Thanks

He commited genocide against children my dude.
@@Julio_Gomes Which campaign of which year?
@@Julio_Gomes History cares little of massacres or the plight of the masses. A world where no one dared to cause others suffering is also one where we all live in small huts worshipping obese fertility idols.
Oda Nobunaga was the Napoleon of his time.
When is the Hideyoshi docu coming?
The Lord of Darkness (snes game) has great historical accuracy and a taste of Japanese culture. Nice video.
I love how the music is from nioh a game about oda and a damn good one
Watching this after just finishing season one of “shogun”
The background music of Ghost of tsushima is 🔥
I always saw him as Japan’s own Genghis Khan what with his ruthless pragmatism and brutality. And his tendency to wipe out anyone who didn't immediately surrender or already opposed him. It's no wonder even his own closest ally who also engaged in extreme violence, decided to betray him and assassinate him.
Or Lord Hummungus from Mad Max the Road Warrior
Good video. Samurai were members of the Ikko Ikki as well. And firearms (and their users protected by palisades and stronger fortifications) were a paradigm shift. If the rebellion grew it threatened food production and distribution as well as socio-economic stability. As it was, the Ikko Ikko influenced the security of several overland trade routes leading to Kyoto (though inland and coastal shipping was more important in the trade of bulky goods). Earlier, Daimyo Nagao Tamekage was defeated and killed by the Ikko Ikki at the Battle of Sendanno. Other daimyo entered into alliances with them, for example the Mori clan and Nobunaga rivals Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen. It took 11 years of seige for Nobunaga to defeat the Ikki Ikki at Ishiyama Hongan-ji.
Nobunaga didn't hate religion. He didn't tolerate corrupt monks who abused their influence, and meddled in politics. Nobunaga did more or less the same thing many rulers did when their power was challenged... He just eliminated the opposition. Phillip the Fair, king of France eliminated the Templars, Charles III of Spain expelled the Jesuits from his territories... You get the idea. It's just politics.
DID YOU USED MUSIC FRON GAME CALLED NIOH??
Idk if you’ve done it but my favorite period is the heian period so if you could do that
I always been a fan of Asian culture, especially when it comes to war lords especially when it comes to Oda Nobunaga how he did things to unify, Japan was crazy but brutal, but it was necessary for my opinion I was always fascinated with foreign history and culture
6:26 imagawa was a descendedant from minamoto clan
This needs to be the opening cinematic for Shogun 2 Total War
Please consider a collab with RUclipsr "Voices of the Past"--it would be enjoyable, I'm sure!
That channel is so great, would be an honor to be able to collab someday!
@@anikihistory DO IT!!!! APPROACH THEM WITH THE IDEA!!!! DO IT!!!! NUFF SAID.
war brings unity. peace brings chaos. 👁️
The better your warriors, the more divided you become.
No body was found? If it was not burned dude is probably chilling somewhere with Vlad Tepes
0:04 Actually, it’s a period that lasted a century and a half (1467-1615)
11:57 😂 this can happen. Stay safe guys.
Can't have shit in Owari 😭
Well this seems like it should be the story of a second season of Shogun lol
"And the people he met along the way"
He *almost* said it, gang! He almost said *the meme!*
The unification are the people he met along the way after all. 😂
Interesting Nobunaga comes from a province called “The End”, nay?
Where's the battle with Kenshin
Hmm time ro play total war shogun again
Oda: Hahaha! I am the heavenly demon that will unify Japan!
Proceeds to do so via typical war and conquest until one of his retainers kills him. Fortunately, that retainer is killed by another who completes Oda's ambition
A great video of Oda Nobunaga the Demon King & Fool Of Owari, I know of his exploits but another great video overall he may have been a cruel SOB but he was a true badass who changed history by being who he was.
Watch the Zippungu
this is why my boy Eiichiro Oda wrote the most goated manga ever, he comes from goats.
Considering that the blacksmith's daughter was exchanged for arquebus construction lessons, I wonder about Japanese slaves/slavery in general 🤔
Great and super-interesting video btw ✌️🤩
According to the records, she returned home the following year and died a few days later.
@@wadepsilon01she got seasick?
Oda Nobunaga was indeed a ruthless and often cruel, strong-willed and violent leader. on the other hand, he was innovative and had visions for the future of then-Japan. i personally think that Nobunaga was Steve Jobs of his time in the history of Japan. out of the three lords who aimed to rule the entire Japan, i like him for his visions.
Steven jobs was a fraud who piggy backed on others acomplishments and took credit
Musashi
How many damn adverts ffs !!!!!!!
No bung?
We are all outsiders in some type of way
Oden from One Piece 😅
I love 2 of the 3 unifiers: #1: SEI-TAISHOGUN NOBUNAGA ODA & #3 SEI-TAISHOGUN TOKUGAWA IEYASU. MY SWORD-FATHER IS O'SENSEI MIYAMOTO MUSASHI.
hard to follow
Sounds like Nobunanga would be a templar for sure 🤔
I think Nobunaga gets a bad rap. Tokugawa was worse imo.
That saying at the end is VERY incorrect as well as a lot of little tidbits you. It's Nobunaga pounded the rice, Hideyoshi baked the cake, and Ieyasu ate it. Nobunaga never made the cake because he never unified Japan. It wasn't even an original idea from him. Many wanted the Japans to be unified but only Nobunaga 'ingredients' won out. It was Hideyoshi that unified Japan, he made the cake, and Ieyasu reaped the long term benefits. I think you should delve deeper on history of japan more than you do now so your videos are not rife with inaccuracies. :)
To be honest, most of history is rife with inaccuracies anyway. Even firsthand eyewitness testimony is unreliable.
his suck, glad akechi betrayed him
The unifier that didn't come close to unifying Japan...
But but was ODA black? "Where's all the blk people" LOL
Nobunaga's captain was Yasuke the Black Samurai. They always leave that part out of the story due to Yasuke being part of the reason he won so many battles.
@Divine-Justice he wasn't even a samurai nor was he that important in the greater scheme of things. Just a curiosity who was very tall and strong.
@@Divine-Justice lol no
I watched some other docs on here and they said he was 🌈 is that true?
He had children...
Netflix did it first and better just watch “Age of the samurai battle for Japan”
That was absolutely rubbish
@@omarab837 how?
Lot’s of inconsistencies with Netflix’s depiction
Age of Samurai was ass
@@HOTPLATEGAMING how?
I see you have conveniently left out Yusuke, the African Samurai who was another asset to Oda Nobunaga. Typical
Conveniently? He wasn’t exactly a staple to any of the battles or wars. The only few thing known of him was he was there when Oda Nobunaga was betrayed and defeated, and he then served under Nobunaga’s son, which was also defeated the same day. Yusuke was then brought back to a Jesuit mission and nothing else is known of him after that.
He is only known as the first foreigner given the title Samurai, but whether he was a good warrior or a bad warrior was not known. Very little is known about him, and most things are exaggerated and hyperbolic because it makes a good story.
Anime has made him bigger than he is.
Yusuke were given as a slave to Nobunaga and was kept as a novelty retainer. Mentioning him (who did absolutely nothing historically significant) would be as listing caddies of present day golfers.
what kind asset?jester?
Your ignorance and own racism is showing.
