I have to agree with you. I have seen the Netflix series, and re-enactments are terrible, and very shallow at best. Their portrayal of Nobunaga is an insult, portraying him as an over-weighed bully dressed like a pauper.
Japanese history is fascinating. Also, this is another example of why it's a bad idea to celebrate too early on a battlefield. Win the war, then celebrate. Great video.
Well keep in mind that's how the Oda interpreted the Imagawa army's behavior after the battle, we generally believe they exaggerated heavily. The Imagawa still had numerous challenges ahead of them, many of which should have been more significant than the ramshackle Oda clan. Yoshimoto was a big stickler for showmanship, he was known to imitate Imperial court nobles and tbf Yoshimoto brought many positive changes to the Imagawa clan and the region as a whole. He believed maintaining traditions even for minor victories was paramount to maintain high moral and the prestige of their cause. Anyhow whether their celebrating and resting for the next big fight was really to blame for their downfall or not they were definitely caught off guard by the Oda. The big takeaway for me is never underestimate your enemy no matter how insignificant they may appear on paper.
Yep, I'm particularly intrigued by the Sengoku Jidai period and the history of Japan's three great unifiers: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyashu.
Finally, a sengoku era series. This is honestly one of my favorite eras as it's an era where guns, bows, swords, spears, and cavalry can be found in the battlefield. Especially how Nobunaga used the Matchlock infantry, If you probably dropped him during the Napoleonic era, he probably wouldn't be that surprised except the size of the battles.
He also used christianity to make his troops more resilient to resist the myths and practices of the warrior monks of Ikko Ikki. He did many clever things and is only outmatched in wits by his vassal and heir Ieyasu.
To some extent you’re right. But you have to remember that guns were more affective in Japanese warfare than European warfare at that time because Japanese armor was less evolved.
@@epsilon3821 He did much more that tolerate them. He sided with Jesuit missionaries in a debate against Buddhist monks, and gave them prime land in his newly constructed city of Azuchi over his actual retainers for a Jesuit school/mission. He allowed them to preach and build churches. After his death Christians were persecuted because they no longer has his protection. Ieyasu was 100% a vasal. That's what it's called when a lord/king/daimyo/etc has other lords serving under them.
And for those Legion vs Phalanx debaters, the pike formations were well and truly alive during the Sengoku Jidai while the Roman triplex acies formations were dumped by the Romans themselves.

Oda Nobunaga is my favourite samurai. I've heard a few different translations of Oda's "Tenka Fubu". My favourite that i've heard goes: "All the world by force of arms".

Wasn't the Three Kingdoms totally dumbed down and ventured into the RPG "special abilities"/arcade-y realm?

Hope we can get the rest of the Sengoku Jidai now someday, especially its earlier days like the Onin War or the Battle between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, the rise of the Mori and New Hojo clan etc among others 😁
I was recently in Kyoto for a second time and have been somewhat obsessed with the sengoku period. Not to mention, the game Samurai Warriors 5. So this video is just what I needed!
0:52 Finding this video 2+ years later and right after the Assassin's Creed: Shadows "drama" is hilarious. It's like Yasuke was always generally considered a Samurai and it's only becoming a problem now, because of American Politics. It's not like this is the first game to feature Yasuke either. (Samurai Warriors 5.)
😅 ironically, these same issues probably were present at that time, too, some accepted him as samurai, and others didn't 😅 A while back, i stumbled on an article by a japanese historian where he suggested the idea of that being one of the main reasons Odo Nobunaga kept Yazuka around 😀 . To cause chaos under his rivals and enemies ,there is always a reason why a Japanese ruler in those times kept certain people as vassals closely Odo Nobunaga was known to be a cruel and strange ruler at times he humiliated the people around him , had strange sexual demands from his vassals, and subordinates .
I actually like that I fairly know some of these people just because I played Samurai Warriors way back then, so i get some familiarity on how the battles started, etc.
Hoping to see other Sengoku period battles covered like those during Takeda Shingen's campaigns (conquest of Shinano, 4th Kawanakajima, Mimasetoge, Mikatagahara) or during Shimazu clan's conquest of Kyushu like Okitanawate in 1584.
I love the presentation and there are a lot of good and interesting details. However, I do feel you're missing some critical details about some of the most important moments of Oda Nobunaga's career. First, while the young Fool of Owari was destined to succeed his father the Tiger of Owari Nobuhide, he was not expected to be the head of the Oda clan or to control Owari province. Nobunaga's family were a branch family of the Oda clan. His uncle was head of the Oda, and they in turn were vassals to the Shiba clan of Owari. Thus it isn't so unreasonable for a young Kipposhi to be seen running with peasants and shirking responsibility as he never envisioned he'd become daimyo. Second, the exact size of Imagawa Yoshimoto's army is unknown. Most historians generally agree it was between 25-35k men. However, the Imagawa purposefully released reports ahead of them that they commanded a force of 85k. For reference most major battles in Europe around this time featured 10-20k men in total between two countries. You can begin to fathom what Nobunaga's officers were going through seeing him so casually disregard reports of the Imagawa's strength and marching into an open field conflict. At Okehazama battle had already commenced on several fronts prior to Nobunaga's arrival and move out on the Imagawa camp. With clashes on the front lines against a series of forts you can understand how a force of a few thousand Oda troops might go unnoticed. The resulting surprise attack on Imagawa's HQ caused panic and chaos. Many of the Imagawa samurai having been drinking or resting were convinced the Oda force had somehow crushed the Imagawa vanguard and that they had already lost the field of battle (which of course was not true, numerous Imagawa forces still roamed the field out of sight). The story of Yoshimoto dodging the spear thrust only to be beheaded from behind is most likely a fabrication, we have other reports that he fought valiantly to the end trying to regroup his forces. Nobunaga's retreat from the Asai/Asakura surprise attack was nearly disastrous for the Oda clan. Nobunaga was shot in the retreat by Rokakku clan ambushers, and Hideyoshi was also in grave danger during the rear guard against Asakura. To begin with Nobunaga was convinced his brother-in-law Asai Nagamasa would never betray him. Nagamasa was known as a particularly honorable man, and lady Oichi is recorded as being an exceptionally valued woman. However, when the Asai formed their alliance with the Oda one of the conditions was that the Oda would inform the Asai if they ever planned to go to war with their longtime allies the Asakura. Nobunaga assumed it was a mere formality that could be ignored, but Nagamasa was a stickler for propriety. Thus he saw Nobunaga as disregarding their alliance and had no choice but to come to Asakura's aid. Takeda Shingen was indeed confused by Tokugawa Ieyasu's moves following the decisive battle of Mikatagahara. Thus he missed the opportunity to finish off Ieyasu who left his castle gates open (in the desperate hope that more of his men would return alive from Mikatagahara; they did not). However, the Takeda did not retreat from their invasion due to an abundance of caution. The Tokugawa night raids on the Takeda siege lines dealt punitive damage to the Takeda, who were forced back into wet ditches and slaughtered in mass. It is unclear why the Takeda side suffered so heavily during these fights in spite of their vast advantages over the Tokugawa, but it is commonly attributed to a breakdown in communication on the Takeda side. The breakdown may even have been caused by the death (or perhaps merely collapse from an old war wound) of Takeda Shingen himself, possibly to a Tokugawa marksmen during the night though that explanation is usually viewed with skepticism by historians. The Tokugawa side couldn't explain it any better than we can as they could not see what happened on the Takeda side, but the result of the night raids was a disastrous defeat of the Takeda that forced them to withdraw back to Kai. Still, a lot of great info you provided here, I just felt it needed a few clarifications. Keep up the good content.
There was an old NES game, Nobunaga's Ambition. It had a serious design flaw that was easy to exploit but I always enjoyed conquering Japan, one province at a time.
I really need HBO to work on a 5+ season fiction or nonfiction story on Nobunaga's reign; with equal cultural precision shown on the successful show 'Shogun'. It would be so f'n good.
Oda nobunaga wasn't present in first siege of nagashima only in 2nd and 3rd siege. And in 3rd siege he used his fleet who had cannons on it and bombarded castle defensive walls.
I only clicked because he’s my favorite minister on Call Me Emperor and now I’m going to look up all the rest of my ministers!! This is awesome I thought they literally made those characters up!!!
I had watched a documentary about this period and I have come to the thought that this is one of the most Interesting periods of japanese history Much respect to the Japanese people from Greece
oda's demon king title is actually from oda himself, after burning the monastery he only got the title of "the enemy of the buddhist/ the people" from the warrior monks leaders. when takeda of kai declared himself as the protector of the buddhist and declared war on oda nobunaga with his letter, oda nobunaga replied back that he is the demon king of the sixth heaven, which supposed to be a righteous noble demon in buddhist mythology who punishes sinners in hell. only christian and islamic myths makes all demons/devils evil. buddhist myths are different, so him delcaring himself as demon king of the sixth heaven is declaring that he is a noble person who will punishes all evil in the land.
btw the monks in japanese culture are different at the time, because at sengoku period they are allowed to marry, and is "cultivating buddhism" through trainings on weaponaries, they at that time maybe is one of the best at using matchlocks in japan, and is also famously hates the christian the most, that's also the reason why they fights with oda nobunaga who sheltered and welcomed the portuguese and their religion. also at sengoku oda hates them so much because at that time the monks already became powerful in both military and politics, and they are corrupt rich as fuck monks who lives lavishly, contrarian to the original buddhist teaching of both from india and mainland china (which before this also became corrupt in the later part of the tang dynasty thanks to them getting too rich and too much power, and so got purged).

As a bilingual American who's lived in Japan for 30 years, thank you to this channel for not butchering the Japanese names. I was very happy with all the pronunciations. Once again I am impressed by this excellent channel.
I've noticed that too with other languages! These guys really put in the extra effort to say things correctly and I appreciate the heck out of it as well
@@jrodriguez1374 For my language they always mess up the place where the accent is positioned, then I don’t know about the others
@@CrusaderMapper Which place

@@CrusaderMapper i hear you, their accents aren't perfect, they're not natives. But they try very hard and it shows
Oooo I wrote my thesis about Nobunaga and his use of firearms, I'm pumped!!
Nobunaga was the most innovative and consistent battlefield commander of the period, and an excellent strategist as well. More than just a warrior, he was also a great statesman. He is kind of like Philip and Alexander in one for his administrative and tactical acumen.
You mean Julius Caesar

Shingen was just as good if not better IMO
@@edwardli9856 Debatable. It's hard to tell because these men were also a product of the cards they were dealt. Had their roles been reversed with shingen in owari and nobunaga in kai in another timeline, we would be able to accurately compare.

Mas Oyama (大山 倍達) once stated:
"The most significant life is the one lived on the basis of a personal sense of justice and the desire to see justice realized everywhere"

Sengoku period is my favorite of all in Japanese history. Thank you for this video! You did great job! Can't wait for the next part
You guys use Shogun 2 so much more beautifully than I do haha! So good!
You also make excellent videos. Don’t discredit yourself!

Excellent video, it's really enlightening to see the entire map like you've put together while covering major events. I've read about a lot of them individually but really nice to see how they tied together to leave Nobunaga with the setup advantage. 10/10 for always putting so much effort into the pronunciation of names and locations.

"Surprise - the smaller clan wins and the leader of that clan steals the idea of invading capital and invades the capital. And it goes very well👍 He's about half way through conquering Japan when someone who works for him kills him" - that's how I remember it. Thanks for expanding my knowledge
and then someone else who works for him kills them, and that guy finishes conquering Japan.

Pair this with the Sengoku Jidai series from the channel "The Shogunate" for peak perfection.
The shogunate really did a good job covering the Sengoku period series
Shogunate has 12 hrs of Sengoku history.....what a GEM!!!

The Oda must be fire types because they seem to have a lot of trouble fighting enemies who can effectively use water attacks against them.
Your channel taught me more history then my school in six years thank you
I think sengoku period is underrated due to there being so much unique stuff was of course war,merchants, and religions. There’s just so much going on and it’s awesome!
Having learnt an incredible amount of the history of the Samurai and prominent figures. Even the details people often overlook and look to sources that don't tell the full story
It's always a pleasure to see something like this
i'm a japanese university student. It's very useful video to learn my own countriy's history in English! I really appreciate it!
Oda Nobunaga is my favourite samurai. I've heard a few different translations of Oda's "Tenka Fubu". My favourite that i've heard goes: "All the world by force of arms".
Here comes the Mad Dog, the Demon King, the Man, the Legend! Oda Nobunaga!
The Onimusha.
The Dai Rokuten Maou
Easily the best channel on youtube. My history teacher I never had but dreamed of
So excited for this Sengoku series. One of the most turbulent and fascinating times in history.
This made my day! Looking forward to the next episode already :)
If you're going to cover this era, a great topic to discuss would be the rivalry between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin.
One of the most interesting part of takeda's history is where he put tokugawa at his place
@Altaf Hussain but that one moment also teach him to never underestimated people.

We need a shogun 3 with three kingdoms mechanics.
Also great Video, love the improvements of the graphics
Yes. We also need a new Rome total war with three kingdoms mechanics.
There is already one. It is called Nobugana’s ambition
you know that C.A will not be able to make a good historical total war
Wasn't the Three Kingdoms totally dumbed down and ventured into the RPG "special abilities"/arcade-y realm? I remember the shock when first comming to R2TW, from all the previous TW series (starting with the original Shogun: Total War in 2000), though luckily it had one great mod (DEI), who redeemed it for it.
From what I saw on some YT materials, it seems like CA progressed into the "arcadization" of the series into the TW:Warhammer kind, no?
@@Haamre pretty much, from example archers don't have a range bonus from terrain, and in warhammer they streamline a lot of stuff, gunners don't have a reloading animation and range is king in that game, infantry is not that important like in the older games
Looking for this series. This is one of my favorite histories series all time. much of Clan conflict and Intervene from western like Weapons and religion make this more bloody times.
Exciting to see the continuance of this series!
Amazing series. I hope they continue through the whole sengoku period. Maybe even go over some of the other clans.
I just can't get enough of this channel it's awesome!!👍
Arigato gojaimasu for making another magnificent video on Nippon's Sengoku Jidai period.
Looking forward to this series! Thanks
This is very new to me thanks for the video i never knew about this war thank u so much and its so interesting,
pls make more pls
Been playing shogun 2 alot lately, and the Oda clan is by far the best clan to play.
Sengoku Jidai is one of the best topic in history. Love Japan from Pakistan
"Immovable as the Mountain" from 18:25 onwards... always gets me misty eyed.
Another brilliant video!

The battle that started the legend of Oda Nobunaga. Looking forward for more battles!! Especially the Battle of Nagashino 🔥🔥
I remember learning of all of this through Samurai Warriors. Man that game was awesome.
I was literally going to look up sengoku jidai stuff today and here is a timely video.
Hope we can get the rest of the Sengoku Jidai now someday, especially its earlier days like the Onin War or the Battle between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, the rise of the Mori and New Hojo clan etc among others 😁
Even though I already know this part of Japanese history , it's still great to see you guys doing it.
Nice. A series about the end of the Sengoku Jidai is wonderful
I was recently in Kyoto for a second time and have been somewhat obsessed with the sengoku period. Not to mention, the game Samurai Warriors 5. So this video is just what I needed!
Omfg! Finally a new sengoku jidai series. Thank you sooooo much for this.
0:52 Finding this video 2+ years later and right after the Assassin's Creed: Shadows "drama" is hilarious. It's like Yasuke was always generally considered a Samurai and it's only becoming a problem now, because of American Politics. It's not like this is the first game to feature Yasuke either. (Samurai Warriors 5.)
😅 ironically, these same issues probably were present at that time, too, some accepted him as samurai, and others didn't 😅
A while back, i stumbled on an article by a japanese historian where he suggested the idea of that being one of the main reasons Odo Nobunaga kept Yazuka around 😀 .
To cause chaos under his rivals and enemies ,there is always a reason why a Japanese ruler in those times kept certain people as vassals closely
Odo Nobunaga was known to be a cruel and strange ruler at times he humiliated the people around him , had strange sexual demands from his vassals, and subordinates .
Glad to see one of my favorite time periods. Keep up the great work Kings and Generals!
Never knew the story line of Nobunaga Concierto is a true story until this video. Great work!
Napoleon then Nobunaga. Two of my favorite generals, love this channel
🧡☪️،،،🧠✔️☯️
Danke!
I like how the event is soo detailed.
Like the names of the peasants levys who are now memorialized in the history for one single battle
I actually like that I fairly know some of these people just because I played Samurai Warriors way back then, so i get some familiarity on how the battles started, etc.
Hoping to see other Sengoku period battles covered like those during Takeda Shingen's campaigns (conquest of Shinano, 4th Kawanakajima, Mimasetoge, Mikatagahara) or during Shimazu clan's conquest of Kyushu like Okitanawate in 1584.
I love the presentation and there are a lot of good and interesting details. However, I do feel you're missing some critical details about some of the most important moments of Oda Nobunaga's career.
First, while the young Fool of Owari was destined to succeed his father the Tiger of Owari Nobuhide, he was not expected to be the head of the Oda clan or to control Owari province. Nobunaga's family were a branch family of the Oda clan. His uncle was head of the Oda, and they in turn were vassals to the Shiba clan of Owari. Thus it isn't so unreasonable for a young Kipposhi to be seen running with peasants and shirking responsibility as he never envisioned he'd become daimyo.
Second, the exact size of Imagawa Yoshimoto's army is unknown. Most historians generally agree it was between 25-35k men. However, the Imagawa purposefully released reports ahead of them that they commanded a force of 85k. For reference most major battles in Europe around this time featured 10-20k men in total between two countries. You can begin to fathom what Nobunaga's officers were going through seeing him so casually disregard reports of the Imagawa's strength and marching into an open field conflict.
At Okehazama battle had already commenced on several fronts prior to Nobunaga's arrival and move out on the Imagawa camp. With clashes on the front lines against a series of forts you can understand how a force of a few thousand Oda troops might go unnoticed. The resulting surprise attack on Imagawa's HQ caused panic and chaos. Many of the Imagawa samurai having been drinking or resting were convinced the Oda force had somehow crushed the Imagawa vanguard and that they had already lost the field of battle (which of course was not true, numerous Imagawa forces still roamed the field out of sight). The story of Yoshimoto dodging the spear thrust only to be beheaded from behind is most likely a fabrication, we have other reports that he fought valiantly to the end trying to regroup his forces.
Nobunaga's retreat from the Asai/Asakura surprise attack was nearly disastrous for the Oda clan. Nobunaga was shot in the retreat by Rokakku clan ambushers, and Hideyoshi was also in grave danger during the rear guard against Asakura. To begin with Nobunaga was convinced his brother-in-law Asai Nagamasa would never betray him. Nagamasa was known as a particularly honorable man, and lady Oichi is recorded as being an exceptionally valued woman. However, when the Asai formed their alliance with the Oda one of the conditions was that the Oda would inform the Asai if they ever planned to go to war with their longtime allies the Asakura. Nobunaga assumed it was a mere formality that could be ignored, but Nagamasa was a stickler for propriety. Thus he saw Nobunaga as disregarding their alliance and had no choice but to come to Asakura's aid.
Takeda Shingen was indeed confused by Tokugawa Ieyasu's moves following the decisive battle of Mikatagahara. Thus he missed the opportunity to finish off Ieyasu who left his castle gates open (in the desperate hope that more of his men would return alive from Mikatagahara; they did not). However, the Takeda did not retreat from their invasion due to an abundance of caution. The Tokugawa night raids on the Takeda siege lines dealt punitive damage to the Takeda, who were forced back into wet ditches and slaughtered in mass. It is unclear why the Takeda side suffered so heavily during these fights in spite of their vast advantages over the Tokugawa, but it is commonly attributed to a breakdown in communication on the Takeda side. The breakdown may even have been caused by the death (or perhaps merely collapse from an old war wound) of Takeda Shingen himself, possibly to a Tokugawa marksmen during the night though that explanation is usually viewed with skepticism by historians. The Tokugawa side couldn't explain it any better than we can as they could not see what happened on the Takeda side, but the result of the night raids was a disastrous defeat of the Takeda that forced them to withdraw back to Kai.
Still, a lot of great info you provided here, I just felt it needed a few clarifications. Keep up the good content.
Y e s! Why have we waited so long for THE Oda to have a documentary here? Thank you all regardless
Brilliant! I could watch more of these. you did a cracking job with this, please carry on
Having played hours upon hours of the samurai warriors game series makes these videos all that much sweeter.
We love these Japan videos keep them up 👍👍👍
A series on Oda Nobunaga!!!! YES!!!!!!
Just when I thought this channel had let me go… THEY PULL ME BACK IN
There was an old NES game, Nobunaga's Ambition. It had a serious design flaw that was easy to exploit but I always enjoyed conquering Japan, one province at a time.
I've been waiting for this!
I really need HBO to work on a 5+ season fiction or nonfiction story on Nobunaga's reign; with equal cultural precision shown on the successful show 'Shogun'. It would be so f'n good.
You guys really never miss!! another great video!!
Amazing work as usual.
Props to my friend Malay!
You just keep dropping bangers.
VERY GOOD VIDEO been a fan of this era long time. i have several books about it
So exited for you to Cover more japanese History!
Oda nobunaga wasn't present in first siege of nagashima only in 2nd and 3rd siege. And in 3rd
siege he used his fleet who had cannons on it and bombarded castle defensive walls.
We look forward to this series!
I only clicked because he’s my favorite minister on Call Me Emperor and now I’m going to look up all the rest of my ministers!! This is awesome I thought they literally made those characters up!!!
Can't wait for the next episode!! 👍
You guys did a better job than the Netflix series
Fantastic as usual! Thanks.
I had watched a documentary about this period and I have come to the thought that this is one of the most Interesting periods of japanese history Much respect to the Japanese people from Greece
oda's demon king title is actually from oda himself, after burning the monastery he only got the title of "the enemy of the buddhist/ the people" from the warrior monks leaders. when takeda of kai declared himself as the protector of the buddhist and declared war on oda nobunaga with his letter, oda nobunaga replied back that he is the demon king of the sixth heaven, which supposed to be a righteous noble demon in buddhist mythology who punishes sinners in hell. only christian and islamic myths makes all demons/devils evil. buddhist myths are different, so him delcaring himself as demon king of the sixth heaven is declaring that he is a noble person who will punishes all evil in the land.
btw the monks in japanese culture are different at the time, because at sengoku period they are allowed to marry, and is "cultivating buddhism" through trainings on weaponaries, they at that time maybe is one of the best at using matchlocks in japan, and is also famously hates the christian the most, that's also the reason why they fights with oda nobunaga who sheltered and welcomed the portuguese and their religion. also at sengoku oda hates them so much because at that time the monks already became powerful in both military and politics, and they are corrupt rich as fuck monks who lives lavishly, contrarian to the original buddhist teaching of both from india and mainland china (which before this also became corrupt in the later part of the tang dynasty thanks to them getting too rich and too much power, and so got purged).
