    Nobunaga Oda was a unique man for the times. As we saw, if Hideyoshi didn't serve Nobunaga, he would have likely never became anything. The Imagawa, like nearly every other daimyo of the time, saw no worth in the peasant class. Nobunaga; however, was different. He was not beholden to tradition. He used to be called the "fool of Owari" because he did and said whatever he wanted, oftentimes outlandishly, in contrary to Japanese culture. He was "rude" and "unceremonious" at his father's funeral, which ended with the ritual suicide of one of his guardians in protest. However, Nobunaga saw Hideyoshi's talents, not his class, and elevated him...allowing him to accomplish great deeds.

    There is a legend that when Hideyoshi first served Nobunaga, he was a sandal bearer. This was first recorded in the late 18th century and is therefore unreliable. However, its a useful anecdote to emphasize that Hideyoshi initially served the Oda clan as a private servant, not a samurai, and then rose to power with astonishing speed

    On learning about the war era of Japan, please note that the Bushido code has not been invented yet. The code was invented by the Edo shogunate in order to achieve political stability and settlement among Samurais because they were now the rulers, not the warriors anymore.
    Before that, Samurais were much more like Yakuza and mafias; strong bond of family but always working for themselves at the bottom of their hearts, always waiting for the moment to betray and push their way to the top.
    Therefore, you will see many cases in which a Samurai abandons a family and starts serving another one. This was considered normal in the war era. People back then pretty much evaluated one another by their actual skills and political charisma instead of blindly being loyal to one family, except in the case their ancestors have already served that family for generations.
    The most typical example is Tokugawa Hideyasu himself, who united the nation and started Edo Shogunate. He was originally a small warlord under the Imagawa family but later betrayed them and joined the Oda army.

    I read where that he left Owari Province at the age of 7 after his father died and entered the service of Matsushita Yukitsuna. A local lord (i.e. daimyo) of the Imagawa clan, not Imagawa Yoshimoto himself. When returned to Owari province at 21, then entered the service of the Oda clan as an ashigaru before becoming Nobunaga's 'sandal bearer'. It was after the Battle of Okehazama that he was elevated to that position.

    Hideyoshi is generally considered as “hito-tarashi” (magnetic person), which is why he could recruit competent subordinate busho (Ex. Kanbe Kuroda, his strategist). Hideyoshi could be just a cruel & ambitious man who “served” only to Nobunaga. Most of Hideyoshi’s policies followed Nobunaga’s ideas. That explains Hideyoshi’s political motivation. However, his autocratic administration relied too much on his personal charisma probably. Also, Toyotomi administration’s collapse results from a division between his bureaucrats (ex. Mitunari) & generals (ex. Kiyomasa), Ieyasu’s ambition, and most possibly his heir problem (he made enemies & lost trust from some daimyo due to “Hidetugu jiken”, in which he forced his heir Hidetugu and her ~ 30 family members to seppuku) Some Japanese historians argue that Hideyoshi in last years often lost his temper and daimyo started to shift to Tokugawa’s leadership. Nobunaga: revolutionist, Hideyoshi: unifier, Ieyasu: foxy politician. Sengoku-jidai is more like a story with characters in each area, so, if you want to know more, Nobunaga no yabou (ambition of Nobunaga, simulation game) would be a great start. Sorry if my English is immature.

    This is a cute intro. However Hideyoshi has been a logistics genius and an extremely quick learner who also was highly respected as a tea master and various Japanese designs. This vid also did not cover Hideyoshi as soon as assigned his own fief circa 1570 utilized the whole Biwa Lake for his new city plan. Hideyoshi is a builder's maniac who constantly founded improvement of castle and city development. Anyway I hope people learn about this genius in World history not for his cruelty and invasion of Korean Peninsula towards end of his Life, but how much he brought to a new order unseen in Japan. The more I learned of history the more I admire Hideyoshi and his deeds.

    The story of a farmer to a samurai that took a lot of achievements to attain, puts Yasuke's background as a "black samurai" claimed by many into question.

    Hideyoshi is the ONLY Japanese unifier. Iyeasu is a usurper who didn’t unify squat. Unfortunately, for Nobunaga, just like not getting a Nobel prize for attempted physics, Oda did not unite Japan.

    One reason Akechi betrays Oda because Akechi’s allegiance is to the Shogun and not Oda who’s been using the Shogun to unify Japan. Same reason other Lords rose up against Oda as they could see through his games.
