I'll take that as a compliment. But I don't feel there's rivalry. We all love history and we all invest a lot of time and effort into making these sorts of videos. I've religiously watched Balthasar's videos since the early days. Truly admire his work!
Shogun 2 is the more popular of the two because it is newer, so it's natural that more people will relate the music to Shogun 2 instead of Shogun 1. Neither party is wrong. Never played Shogun 1 myself, but judging by the responses, CA used the same music for both.
Nowaday most people in japan sucide right now not because honour shit anymore. All of them com from depresion. Life is cruel in Japan. It hard to get a Proper job there, they must working overtime like a lot, even Bullying. And they dont even care for the people who fall into depresion (A.K.A most of the NEET), but treet them like weight for the society.
ritual suicide was commonplace in Samurai Japan back then to preserve their sense of honor and dignity as prescribed in their Bushido way of life...being defeated in battle was a "shamefur dispray" so rather than live and bear the shame of being a loser they chose to die instead by their own hands... by committing sudoku... I mean Seppuku...
WOW. Just wow. This series is easily becoming one of your best. This is gold for us history lovers, thank you so much. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for videos on Takeda Shingen, that guy is brilliant.
+Ken Havens I have to concur with Stannis. While you can find the same information in a documentary, these videos are far more entertaining coming from a history lover.
@Ken Havens Are you outta your mind? If you had said books, I'd understand since books are even more amazing, and filled with even more info for us History Lovers, and they generally should be our source of knowledge on History. BUT there is NO documentary on Sengoku Jidai as High Quality as this one. BazBattles's videos are just beautiful and so enjoyable to watch.
Mori Motonari was a top tier politician & one of the best strategist in sengoku period. According to Japanese Wiki Corpus, he participated in as many as 200 battles(?) Such an interesting warlord in this period, along with Uesugi Keshin.
Cant wait to see the Top 10 Anime betrayal, i bet they include of how Shingen Takeda exliled his father Nobutora so he can take Kai for himself and Akechi Mitsuhide betrayal, burned Honnoji temple and his lord Nobunaga. And don't forget, the Top 10 Anime's romance video, one of them is the romance between Nobunaga and Mori Ranmaru
Nobunaga would have completed the dragon balls and got the triforce but that bitch Mitsuhide was high on something and burned the fucking castle killing Nobunaga
Your videos are so good I sometimes forget I'm on UA-cam and believe I'm watching a documentary on TV. I can't wait for you to talk about the confrontation between Shingen and Kenshin.
The characters in Gekokujou (下克上) mean "under-overcome-above," so it's more like the underling/retainer overthrowing the lord/daimyou. It doesn't imply weakness or strength on either side.
Absolutely loved this episode. I've read many accounts of this particular engagement but never fully came to comprehend its full sequence until I watched this. Thank you, and keep pumping out them Sengoku Jidai episodes! They're my favourite!
Thank you for doing this period justice!! I love the Extra Credits guys but they jumped into Segoku Jidai to abruptly and with very little background knowledge of the period and I was lost for most of those episodes...please keep up the excellent work and please keep 'em coming!
I like to think of him as the IRL, Japanese Tywin Lannister. Old by the time he led his family to domination? Check. Politically savvy? Check. Absolutely ruthless and brutal to his enemies? Check. Willing to use underhanded means but only if he could do it without losing support? Check. Comes from the western parts of the nation in question? Check. Tied to mining of precious metals? Check (the Iwami silver mines were among the most valuable resources in Japan; the place changed hands between the Ouchi and the Amago several times, but Motonari managed to gain full control of it after he’d eradicated the Ouchi and then used his much increased power to conquer the Amago as well).
Its awesome to see other parts of the sengoku jidai than just Tokugawa, Imagawa, Takeda, Uesegi and Oda! Please do Chosokabe, Otomo and Shimazu too! They seem largely ignored, as the main fighting was around Kyoto and in the middle of the country.
The ironic thing is that Motonari was starting to really kick his conquest of Chugoku into gear around the time everyone else was just getting started.
History lessons in schools should be as fun to watch & learn as these videos. I seriously learned more on this channel in 10 hours, than i have learned in school in over 10 years.
Interesting to see the paralells between Mori folklore and Mongol history, with the Mori Daimyo having faced down the Amago Daimyo in a very similar tale to Jebe the Arrow, and the three arrow parabel being exactly how Genghis Khan demonstrated strength in unity to his sons. Awsome video sir now off to start a new Shogun campaign as the Mori.
I have enjoyed your content for quite a while. However this has been the most enjoyable one that I have seen to date! I am a big fan of the origional Shogun total war game by t way! Love it! ;)
Please do the Battle of Towton. It was one of the biggest battles of the medevil ages and the largest of the War of the Roses. A series on the War of the Roses would be even more incredible. Attempt #7
Video Content: 85% history to how it led to that battle, with problems, plans and other stuff 20% the Battle in the title.... I love it :D history lessons (especially I love german and japanese history :P), battles and a lovely and calm voice...Just perfect
Hoyschel Silversteinberg Dang gotta disagree with this comment.. Shogun II and Rome II by SEGA are easily some of the best historical strategy games ever made. I can concede Attila though, that one was pretty awful.
dwarfie24 Steam reviews which are 5 years old. Nowadays, the game is quite good. I recently played 2 vanilla campaigns (Parthia and Nabataea) after 300 hours of Rome II, and I was relieved to see that even without DeI, it still is a very good game.
Telsion Dude what did I do to younfor you to lie to me. Check out Drontti edwards review dated 8 march. (Cant paste it though mobile) People talked positvely about empire too and that game is shite.
Maybe instead of saying they commited suicide, say they commited Seppuku/Harakiri. As those are very different things in Feudal Japanese culture. Great video either way though!
stellvia, you are such a fucking dumb shit it boggles me. suicide is just plain killing yourself because you want to escape life. seppuku was killing yourself because you were dishonorable and thus didn't "deserve" life. don't call people weebs to propound your hate and disrespect of other cultures.
Zack Wyvern no, seppuku was the honorable way out. It was the way to die and retain your honor, not being dishonorable. Source: my moms side is descended from samurai.
These videos are so good, I wish you could post more frequently. I know that it takes a lot of time and it's a great affort, but I don't mind about waiting. Keep up the awesome work!
Only to find out you have no hope of beating the players still present, who have much more powerful veterans and heroes that no numbers and tactics can save you. I've had that game for years, and that is my conclusion.
less than 3min about the battle on a 15min video who is a documentary on the start of the senguku age, that different from other videos. But you have talent of storytelling wars and it's important to explain how and why the battle you tell happen. I'm not mad, i'm impressed, continue your videos you as you like, i'm learning more from you than my former history teachers ^^
I...don't. Well It's entertaining I give you that, but it's not all that accurate. See www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/46edyc/extra_history_sengoku_jidai_and_just_the_sengoku/
ParallelPain yes but they dont want to bee too much historicly acurate. Whel they want to but they want to make it ass simple ass posible for ordinary vjuer
As always, great video! By the way, I really appreciate the subtitles. It's much easier to follow what is going on without having to figure out what are the names of the persons and places depicted.
No historically accurate video about feudal Japan is complete without seeing the triforce of courage and dragon balls.
Don't forget the Shogun 2 music
Triforce, not trident.
i never said trident
Correction: Rich important people hired samurai, poor people who could not afford to hire a samurai did not hired samurai.
Bill?
Ohhhh, the battle on the holy island. I've been eagerly waiting for this episode. Outstanding work!
I'll take that as a compliment. But I don't feel there's rivalry. We all love history and we all invest a lot of time and effort into making these sorts of videos. I've religiously watched Balthasar's videos since the early days. Truly admire his work!
BazBattles&HistoryMarche got best made history videos around
Can't wait to see the dramatic fall of the Ashikaga.
first n only battle on the sacred island of miyajima
16th century Japan - Suicide capital of the world
Of course it's music from Shogun 2 Total War
I think it's from the original Shogun Total War.
First Last I recognize quite a few from the second one
it is from Shogun first
Most of it is from Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
Shogun 2 is the more popular of the two because it is newer, so it's natural that more people will relate the music to Shogun 2 instead of Shogun 1. Neither party is wrong. Never played Shogun 1 myself, but judging by the responses, CA used the same music for both.
and he committed suicide
and he committed suicide
and he committed suicide
how depressing was Japan back then ?
ryanzammit699 sucide is the way for the samurai to keep honour. Better then let the enemy capture you and die like a coward. sr for bad english.
It still is
Nowaday most people in japan sucide right now not because honour shit anymore. All of them com from depresion. Life is cruel in Japan. It hard to get a Proper job there, they must working overtime like a lot, even Bullying.

by committing sudoku...
I mean Seppuku...
so what I take from all this is that it was very depressing and probably still is.
Sending my grandma to Bingo province Japan for her next vacation
WOW. Just wow. This series is easily becoming one of your best. This is gold for us history lovers, thank you so much. Keep up the good work. Can't wait for videos on Takeda Shingen, that guy is brilliant.
It is good but nothing groundbreaking. You can find the same information in a real documentary.
+Ken Havens I have to concur with Stannis. While you can find the same information in a documentary, these videos are far more entertaining coming from a history lover.
@Ken Havens Are you outta your mind?

Nobunaga would have completed the dragon balls and got the triforce but that bitch Mitsuhide was high on something and burned the fucking castle killing Nobunaga
vesteel Actually I think that Nobunaga committed seppuku inside the burning temple, he wasn't killed directly by the fire
Nah the Manga is WAY better
can't wait for the episode that Takamura becomes the emperor of Japan by TKO
Your videos are so good I sometimes forget I'm on UA-cam and believe I'm watching a documentary on TV. I can't wait for you to talk about the confrontation between Shingen and Kenshin.
Al Amnz Agreed but then I remember nothing this good is on TV!
The characters in Gekokujou (下克上) mean "under-overcome-above," so it's more like the underling/retainer overthrowing the lord/daimyou. It doesn't imply weakness or strength on either side.
The initially weaker side overthrowing the initially stronger side
@@Valkbg it can also just be a status thing, not necessarily based in strength but in titles
that was a shamefur dispray from the Sue.
THE ENEMY GENERUL RICE DEAD!
Shamefur? What kind of fur and the sue? Oh u mean a Mary sue
Well he committed seppuku because of his loss, so there's no shame in that lol
must...not...meme.... *A SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!*
And at 3:16, are those fucking Dragon Balls lmfao?
yay i was hoping i wasn't the only one to spot the DBZ easter egg XDXDXD
😈😈🤣🤣😈😈🤣🤣😈😈🤣🤣😈😈🤣🤣
Thank you for informing us of the continued series of unfortunate events that once occurred in 🇯🇵
Absolutely loved this episode. I've read many accounts of this particular engagement but never fully came to comprehend its full sequence until I watched this. Thank you, and keep pumping out them Sengoku Jidai episodes! They're my favourite!
The reign of the old shogunate......IS OVER!!!
Hands down, best historical battle channel. Thank you.
BEST CHANNEL ON THE PLATFORM!!!!!!!!!!
AGREED. #1. Only wish we could get more...
I like the way you describe the climate that lead up to the battle instead of jumping into the battle right away. Love your work, Baz.
A-MEI-ZING indeed
Absolutely love the Japan series, your animation and narration is impacable!!
Thank you for doing this period justice!! I love the Extra Credits guys but they jumped into Segoku Jidai to abruptly and with very little background knowledge of the period and I was lost for most of those episodes...please keep up the excellent work and please keep 'em coming!
That's what you get when you don't make a fortified camp. The Romans were doing it 2000 years before this...
Excellent work, guys!
I'm amazed at how elegantly you portray history.....
If our schools cud do the same...
It seems that Mori Motonari was a cunning yet brilliant tactician and strategist. He is like a Mafia boss :)
I like to think of him as the IRL, Japanese Tywin Lannister.
Old by the time he led his family to domination? Check.
Politically savvy? Check.
Absolutely ruthless and brutal to his enemies? Check.
Willing to use underhanded means but only if he could do it without losing support? Check.
Comes from the western parts of the nation in question? Check.
Tied to mining of precious metals? Check (the Iwami silver mines were among the most valuable resources in Japan; the place changed hands between the Ouchi and the Amago several times, but Motonari managed to gain full control of it after he’d eradicated the Ouchi and then used his much increased power to conquer the Amago as well).
One of my favorite battles of all time. Möri Motonari is a beast! Love the videos keep going.
Is it just me, or is Sengoku Jidai the Japanese version of game of thrones? Without the zombies and dragons of course.
reece ramirez no, Game of Thrones is the western version of Sengoku Jidai.
Tincho Sabala yep
@@tinchosabala no, Sengoku Jidai is the eastern version of War of the Roses
...classic power vacuums occur everywhere, stop being idiotic.
@@tinchosabala GoT is the watered down version of Sengoku jidai and every similar period in history
Thank you! Best channel for battle maps seriously, and the extra history is even more amazing.
Its awesome to see other parts of the sengoku jidai than just Tokugawa, Imagawa, Takeda, Uesegi and Oda! Please do Chosokabe, Otomo and Shimazu too! They seem largely ignored, as the main fighting was around Kyoto and in the middle of the country.
The ironic thing is that Motonari was starting to really kick his conquest of Chugoku into gear around the time everyone else was just getting started.

Awsome video sir now off to start a new Shogun campaign as the Mori.
I love how Sojo gave the young warlord the gift of seven Dragonballs.
MORE SENGOKU JIDAI PLEASE. would be brilliant to see you follow odas famous battles, tokugawas, takedas/uesugi, etc. Would be brilliant!
Shogun 2 music?
Nice.
That I would not consider a _shamefur dispray._
Shogun I music to be exact. It was used as loading music in Shogun 2 as well, though.
pvtj0cker
I didn't play Shogun 1, only 2.
Only heard it in the loading screen, which technically means it's also Shogun 2 music.
This was amazing! Thank you!
Onin war was so ridiculous, it should be called Onion War.
True. The figurehead of one side defected to the other side. LOL.
deadby15 lol
Yeah sure, and one of the contender should been Davos Seaworth XD
yes, *Shamefur Dispray* of honorable conduct!
I my opinion this is one of your best videos! More covering this time period
Reminds me of "trap the Ottomans in Corfu and negroponte " in eu4 as byzantium 😂😂😂
Wait for the albanian war tactic
FUCK ALBANIA AND THEIR COWARDLY WAR TACTICS!
I have enjoyed your content for quite a while. However this has been the most enjoyable one that I have seen to date! I am a big fan of the origional Shogun total war game by t way!

The production value of these videos is second to none.
There was a province in Japan and Bingo was its name-o
Video Content:
85% history to how it led to that battle, with problems, plans and other stuff
20% the Battle in the title....
I love it :D
history lessons (especially I love german and japanese history :P), battles and a lovely and calm voice...Just perfect
This is video about Senkogu Jidai.
Deividas Melnikas No shit?
Oh really? I thought it was about arab cuisine
This is comment about comment on video
You don't say
Sayntavian This is reply on reply on comment of video about sengoku jidai
I really enjoy these videos about Japan. Really good work and I hope you'll make more!
time to play nobunaga's ambition
YEAH!
Hell yea mate!
Thank you! Keep posting Sengoku Jidai videos.
Wait you missed a huge detail here. How the shit did Soun get the Dragon Balls?
Awesome! Another Sengoku Jidai video! I love your videos Baz!!!
Baz, y’all should team up with Total War on their upcoming game Three Kingdoms and make videos on the Three Kingdoms period in China.
Hoyschel Silversteinberg Dang gotta disagree with this comment.. Shogun II and Rome II by SEGA are easily some of the best historical strategy games ever made. I can concede Attila though, that one was pretty awful.
It was making videos for Creative Assembly which set Extra Credits down the path of being gaming publisher shills for lootboxes, no thanks.
Yogi San Rome 2 best games? Steam reviews dissagree.
dwarfie24 Steam reviews which are 5 years old. Nowadays, the game is quite good. I recently played 2 vanilla campaigns (Parthia and Nabataea) after 300 hours of Rome II, and I was relieved to see that even without DeI, it still is a very good game.

Excellent. These get better and better.
Maybe instead of saying they commited suicide, say they commited Seppuku/Harakiri. As those are very different things in Feudal Japanese culture. Great video either way though!
seppuku is ritual suicide. it's suicide.
Suicide has a common signification that is quite different from Seppuku. It is not only a man killing himself.
JSparo true
stellvia, you are such a fucking dumb shit it boggles me. suicide is just plain killing yourself because you want to escape life. seppuku was killing yourself because you were dishonorable and thus didn't "deserve" life.

Can't wait for your video on Battle of Kawanakajima
I'm not sure if there's a rule about how late in history you can go, but have you ever thought about doing the 7 years war?
Sam McCullough yeah they should
The video quality is just amazing
3:21 Dragon Balls? LoL
Erikas Jankus was gonna say the same thing 😂😂
@@FZ0Chris was going to say samething 😆
These videos are so good, I wish you could post more frequently.
I know that it takes a lot of time and it's a great affort, but I don't mind about waiting.
Keep up the awesome work!
Downloading shogun 2 total war
>not having it installed at all times on all devices
Come on, you gotta stop being a pleb.
Only to find out you have no hope of beating the players still present, who have much more powerful veterans and heroes that no numbers and tactics can save you.
I've had that game for years, and that is my conclusion.
éxcellent production quality, will definetely check out more
Do the battle of the red cliff's or three kingdoms
Thank you! It is so nice to see something besides Sekigahara.
I would say this... If Nobunaga wern't assassinated, he would have won the whole campaign as he was the closest to Kyoto.
He was assassinated and he did not win, so no he would not have.
he wasnt
Maximorich Maximorich
That's why he said "if"
@ Dylan Dog
You're right though it could more or less be described as a murder close to assassination.
History is History, "If" & "Would have" does not exist.
less than 3min about the battle on a 15min video who is a documentary on the start of the senguku age, that different from other videos.
But you have talent of storytelling wars and it's important to explain how and why the battle you tell happen.

Would love to see more of this Japan series. Keep up the great work!

fav channel. looking forward to this series.

Best BazBattles video ever!!!!
Awesome. I forgot you’d started this series. This is great
I love this type of video. I hope you will continue to show the other clans. Great video
Well done, again. Very entertaining and also interesting to watch!
Translating Japanese history videos is a real challenge for me. I like it though. Keep up you work!
As a severe Motonari Mori fanboy, I highly approve of this video, always happy to see him getting some well deserved attention^^
Love the video! Keep it up!
Loved this video, please keep it coming.
