Hi everyone! It's me again. If this battle seems...different than what you're used to (like maybe what's on Wikipedia), it's because, as always, we are only using the most trustworthy of primary sources and modern examination of them. In this case, the depiction here is based on the Chronicles of Lord Nobunaga (Shinchōkōki), supplemented by surviving letters of the battle's participants, including but not limited to a very brief report of the battle to Shōgun Yoshiaki from Nobunaga himself. In fact this video directly quotes a line from the English translation of the Chronicles at 10:07. These sources clearly contradict the traditional depiction in enough places that I've made the decision to use new revisionist theory based on the Chronicles instead. There's also a mistake in the video. At 6:25, Nobunaga is depicted as running back to Gifu via the Nakasendō highway. He in fact turned southeast from Kannonji Castle towards Hino Castle in order to escape the trap set for him. From there he entered the Chikusa road into the mountains directly east just before his enemies could block his path, almost got shot by a sniper in the mountain but got out the other side into Ise, and then north back to Gifu. I did not catch this mistake until too late, for which I apologize. Also 6:08, we meant Nobunaga marched east. I totally didn't catch that. Oops! Once again, I am here to answer any simple questions. Please post complicated questions to reddit's Askhistorians.
There is a legend where Oda Nobunaga retreated from Echizen because Oichi, his sister who was married to the Azai Nagamasa, sent her brother a sack of beans tied at both ends, ostensibly as a good-luck charm but in reality a warning that he was about to be attacked from both front and rear by the Asakura and Azai clans. According to the story, Nobunaga understood the message and retreated from his brother-in-law's assault in time.
Plus he has enough material to make episodes for a decade on UA-cam. Amazing how much historical material one can work with just covering the Sengoku Jidai
Actually，the Saito Dosan is the father-in-law of Oda Nobunaga.And He actually died of the rebellion launched by his son Saito Yoshitatsu. Before he died ，he wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga for help.But it’s too late.(you can find all of this on Wikipedia)
please continue with this series, its a great channel and the fact that uve included non-western battles is a great addition so pls finish the entire sengoku period if possible. obviously sekigahara is a must in the series
I never would have thought that this kind of stuff would interest me but the animations and narration make this kind of stuff very intense and interesting.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi is always worth a mention when it comes to Oda Nobunaga. His life reads something like an unbelievable kind of story of rags to riches through the hell of war, like Barry Lyndon or Gone With the Wind.
@@razgriz821 it was valid and reasonable. so no one, regardless of class, would ever dream of doing what Hideyoshi had accomplished. He ended sengoku jidai, and it is his duty to preserve peace throughout Japan, which he did during his time.
@@bmstyle ieyasu gets too much credit. its easy to win when all of your original enemies are dead. his biggest advantage over hideyoshi was that he was younger. he only had to face his weak succesors
Wait a minute, this isn't the Otomo Clan gloriously conquering Japan for Christs glory! Are you telling me Shogun 2: Total War isn't historically accurate?
Thanks for covering these "minor" fight. Most series on Sengoku Jidai just jump straight from Okehazama to Nobunaga liberated the Tokugawa and is now holding the Shogun hostage make it feel like the whole Imagawa clan just up and die at Okehazama.
I love these about the Sengoku Jidai. I know bits and pieces of the history, but some of these videos have really tied things together and given me a deeper insight. Also I snickered at that hint in the little notes at the end. I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I won't say anything on it. I appreciate finding out about Toyotomi's origin. I knew he was an ashigaru, but to think this is where he rose up from.
@@jonweik4840 there were many before him, he was first to use them tactically well: en masse n volley fire. He split gunners into loaders n shooters, had 3 guns per "team"
Currently 530am where I am. Haven't slept all night, getup to check phone notifications and bazbattles is up. Yep. Coffee and Baz fucking battles is my driving life force
It's nice to see BB covers war history in a unique region and time period. I think too many of the other similar channels have been covering the same battles with different spins, almost like they are coordinating so they never cover the same battles at the same time. The primary source of this info is probably harder to research and present in this format. I appreciate this!
usually when i watch medieval European battles i always find fault in either one or both sides, but the sengoku period fielded such great strategists and tacticians that i can actually learn from and admire their brilliance
Please please keep going, as someone who lives in Japan this is awesome because there's so much history here but its all complex and confusing asf... nice video!
For all the history channels that's on UA-cam today and each with their own style....BazBattles was the first channel I ever saw so for me, it holds number one, always ❤
Ashikaga Yoshiaki actually enlisted help from the Asakura after he realized Oda Nobunaga was going to be a huge threat to him. He used Oda Nobunaga to become shogun and then realized he would probably be his puppet. The Asakura realizing this was Nobunaga's plan from the beginning were more than happy to attack Nobunaga and strip him of his ever growing power and influence that was beginning to threaten all of them.
There’s a channel on UA-cam called The Shogunate in which it details everything that took place during the Sengoku Jidai, from battles to political angles between the various clans.
Would love to see a mini series on the Hundred Years War like you did with the first crusade. And really appreciate your videos! thanks very much for doing this.
Great videos. I love the Sengoku Jidai series. I hope that more videos are coming ^^ there are so many battles I want to watch, and more characters' stories to explore. Ganbatte...
Gosh I’m looking forward to the day you can feature the battles in feudal Vietnam, our endless struggles against the Chinese dynasties and 3 times fighting off Mongol’s invasion. I guess anyone can dream.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was master strategist.He was also wery patient strategist like he waited for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to die for him to take over Japan He was also wery patient strategist
@@michaelbandada9887 Yes, the actual fight ended in one morning due to a major betrayal (i feel so sad for mitsunari), but the set up of this war is so rich in content and deserves more love!!
But some people argue that sengoku jidai ended in 1573 when Nobunaga destroyed the ashikaga shogunate, so maybe they wont make vids for these wars or they might open a new series

great! thanks for illuminating the behind the scenes decisions on what to include.
Keep up the great videos
The part where you said they retreated must be false. No Samurai would flee from battle.

Thats actually a pretty cool story, tbh. Almost sounds as though there's a kernel of truth to it.

Clembo and a hypocrite.. climbing the ranks and then closing that route when he was in power..

Love your Sengoku Jidai series, BB! Please consider making one vid about the battle of sekigahara.
I have a feeling that will be the climax of this series!
Thank you for the great video
It's crazy to me nobunaga was able to win so many battles and gain control while being in the middle of japan and surrounded by like 40000 enemies.
Let’s just say Nobunaga is a ruthless strategist who’s willing to win by any means necessary, even if it means racking up a sizeable body count.
