    The reason why the Sengoku era's history is so captivating is because there were just so many contradictory records written by different factions and legends. Unlike imperial China, where there was an official history written by a central authority, different retainers from different clans write their own version and experience regarding the period. So, depending on which version they use, and which version's events they leave out, you can always create a Taiga drama about. the same period. LOL!

    It is so simple. Akechi betrayed Nobunaga because Akechi wanted to change his last name to Oda, but Nobunaga reminded him that he was too inferior for that glorious clan name. So Akechi became very angry he couldn't have the last name of his boss. That's where the Incident started.

Edit: to add, his initial march against Mitsuhide was (supposedly) to avenge Nobunaga's death but afterwards, he didn't really do anything to immortalise Nobunaga like one would expect of somebody truly grieving his passing.

I know that Ieyasu did it himself but Nobunaga gave the order). Nobunaga was a great leader but his biggest flaw was that his brutality made him treated the family members of his own lieutenants like 💩. He launched an attack that got Mitsuhide’s mom killed. He ordered Ieyasu to murder his own wife and son. Honnoji is inevitable for him.

    Since castles in the early Sengoku were rude affairs, building one overnight isn't as impossible as it might sound. Floors above the Bailey were usually of wood construction. Stringing silk banners between endposts was how one made a command center in the field. From a distance, a silk walled castle looks as convincing as any. Workers can build the wooden walls behind the silk banners all the while, so that, when an enemy tests the construct, it has become a real castle.

    I think Akechi Mitsuhide betrayed Nobunaga because he was persuaded and bribed by Ashikaga Yoshiaki. It was Mitsuhide that brought Yoshiaki to Nobunanaga, so they had a connection and open communication. Yoshiaki was probably crying to Mitsuhide, "You promised Nobunaga would help and serve me, but he's only serving himself and using me. This is your fault. But tell you what, if you take his head, I'll give you titles, lands and castles...promise."

    It is interesting that the first two rifle muskets, one for sample and another to be disassembled and studied, were copied, improved, improvised and reproduced by Japanese craftsmanship. This made Japan a nation which produced the most of rifle muskets in the world and prevented Portugal and Spain and the other European nations to invade and colonize Japan by sending missionary first then conquer that is the way they conquered in South America.

    I think Samurai Warriors 5 covered the history pretty well in its plot. It's not perfect (although none of the media covering this is since too much info is inconclusive). Ranmaru isn't in the game but I feel that his presence would've steered the story they have made in a weird direction because they based Nobunaga change in character off the death of his wife. All in all they made Nobunaga look like the Sengoku hero he was, gave him a justification for changing in his character, and gave Mitsuhide a justification for betraying Nobunaga in the end.

    Amazing series! Akechi's story changes depending on what depiction you're into at the moment. In some, Akechi was a tragic hero doing what he did for Japan. In others, he's a madman who betrayed Nobunaga for fun. Then there is the theory that Akechi was a Buddhist that took issue with Nobunaga killing so many of his faith. There is a different motive in every depiction I've encountered. But, many characters are the same, having multiple characterizations. Its actually something I love about the period. Every character is a mythological character as much as a historical one. Thanks for making this series! Definitely a "must watch" for those interested in the Sengoku period.

    great respect for your work, this channel is amazing. i have no idea why you dont even have 80k subs. it should be 8million, and if u just keep on like this, i think you will reach that point. i think what is most outstanding on this channel compared to other similar ones is that you dont just list some facts and illustrate some pictures around them, there is a grand narrative wich you follow. this can only be done with a great understanding of history itsself. its not just counting down events, like then this battle happened, and then this battle happened, and then that battle happened, like a machine gun ratatatata blasting some corner stones into your brain at a pace that is much too high. its actually more like a real story that you can follow and understand. and i would like to encourage you to focus even more on that part. dont be scared to go into detail, like explain the characters more deeply for example. the way your are doing it, i bet it wont be boring at all, it will make the story more colorful, relatable, exciting and easier to understand. dont just list facts and events, tell a story. and dont be afraid to slow down the pace a little bit here and there. i mean, whats up with hideyoshi holding sandals in his hands all the time, for example...do you think your random western viewer knows all this stuff, or why did you leave it out? for me as a western person its almost impossible to keep track of all that strange names (to my ears, ofc). that really is a big big problem i think. when you are going too fast i cant keep up, at all, and get totally confused. really, keeping track of names and the corresponding characters is the most difficult thing for me. try to make that easier, and youre channel will soar the heavens like a dragon. this might sound super super rude, and i apologize in advance. but, still, there is nothing that i can do about it really. so im just gonna go ahead: you have no idea how much easier it would be for me to read about the 3 kingdoms for example when you dont have a liu bei, a guan yu, and a zhan fei, but instead just call them ben, joe and fizz. (maybe even think of some fictional family names. maybe some names related to the real names...some clever acronyms, i dunno... ) i know, i know, plz dont hurt me. but still: i think if you really wanna teach the essence of your culture to the whole world (i bet 99% of your audience is not chinese), it would be way more effective to do it like this, instead of insisiting on keeping the chinese names in the honor of chinese culture, if you know what i mean. if you dont believe me, try it out. i think that if instead of a few thounands you reach millions of people, your ancestors might foregive you for a little bit of a rocky translation of names, for you are spreading chinese culture as a whole like a tiger that has grown wings.

    i think keeping those names is okay but the problem is he uses too many japanese/chinese words in his videos and always translates them to English after the introduction of them. It's completely unnecessary and a waste of time, he should've just straightforwardly introduced those english words instead.

    i cannot stress this enough... your channel is definitely THE BEST when it comes to pronouncing foreign words. It is so very clear to me that you put in the effort to learn and try to pronounce things as natively as possible. other channels always say "forgive my pronunciation" but it is so obvious that they didn't even take the time to go to google translate, something so simple.... kudos to you my bro, and everyone that is involved with cool history bros; for the dedication and effort put into these videos. im not 100 sure how portuguese people would pronounce nossa senhora da graca, but for future reference that little tail in the C in graca, means that the C is pronounced like and S. so it would be "grassa" instead of "graka", which means grace.

    A whole one year late to your comment, but, as someone from Portugal, I can confirm that his pronunciation of "Nossa Senhora da Graça", as well as "Luís Fróis", was indeed a bit off the mark (as opposed to his Japanese pronunciation, which, to my modest understanding of it, sounds just excellent). To a Portuguese ear, he sounds like he's applying a mix of Spanish and English pronunciation rules to the words. I'm not quite capable of putting into written form how either word should be 100% correctly pronounced, but here are two near enough suggestions: Luís Fróis - LOO-EE-SHH / FR*-OI**-SHH * In English, this particular R sound is only found in some variants such as Scottish English, so try to imagine how a Scotsman would say it. All 3 R sounds in these 2 words are pronounced this way. ** Similar sound to the typical "Oi!" interjection from Cockney English, but with a very open O sound. Nossa Senhora da Graça - NOH*-SSUH / SUH**-Nioh***-RUH / DUH / GRAH-SSUH * Same open O sound as before ** This particular UH sound needs to be a bit more closed than the other UH sounds. *** This NH sound is very difficult for a lot of foreigners to pronounce (similiarly to our LH sound). This sound does not exist in English at all. Curiously enough, Japanese pronunciation might help in this particular case, as, if I'm not mistaken, the Japanese pronunciation of the word "Nioh" produces most of the sounds needed for the "nho" in "Senhora". The most problematic element is the distinct "N" sound at the start, which shouldn't be there, but "SeNIOHra" (which would sound pretty similiar to Spanish, actually) is a much better way of pronouncing it that "Sen-Hora" (which just sounds very unnatural to a Portuguese listener). Cheers. :)

    I feel like many westerners around my age, so 30, were introduced to Nobunaga through Japanese video games like Onimusha. Where nobunaga is a villain usually having sold his soul demons. I’ve always wondered if he’s one of the Great Unifiers of Japan, why is he usually depicted as a villain? Hell even as recently as the Nioh video game series he’s depicted as being a villain.

    Oichi-no-Kata and Yodo-dono. Videos introducing the three great unifiers often omit the women, but I think they are indispensable. They are properly woven in this video, and it is the thread that connects the three unifiers vertically. It’s a little bit pity Oeyo is omitted, who is youngest daughter of Oichi and sister of Yodo and married to Tokugawa Hidetada the second shogun. I hope you pick Oichi and her three daughters someday in the future for the theme of a video.

    @@gendoruwo6322 Yes. The speed of Nobunaga's brain was terrifying. People called him a "The fool" because of his strange behavior. However, it can be inferred that he had his own reasons for his actions, but sadly few people could understand them. Just like modern mathematicians and chess masters. Hideyoshi was also a brilliant mind, but unfortunately all his ideas were temporary. I think his nickname "Monkey" describes his ideas well. Ieyasu is the least popular of the three. Many people say He stole his last victory. He forced the emperor into the Imperial court. He transformed the Land of Gold into Thomas More's "Utopia". It was the cause of Japan's lagging behind in the imperialist race of the 19th century. But that is a misunderstanding. Did it succeed in trying to dominate Korea and China as it was? Hideyoshi's aggression is still a stain on Japan-Korea friendship. On the contrary, it is possible that they were absorbed by the Chinese before they knew it, just like the Manchurians. Further, Spain and Portugal are Catholic countries, while England and the Netherlands are Protestant countries. He probably expected that free trade with the West would bring Japan to a bloody battle. He believed "peace" was the most correct answer. In order to do so, he had to cut off the source of the conflict and cut off the noise from abroad. "The book of five rings" and "Hagakure" were born as a result of exploring what it means to be a samurai in an era without conflict. In a sense, it would be correct to see the Edo period he created as a controlled society like North Korea. However, there is no doubt that many studies, arts, and inventions were born during this time, and that the energy for the Meiji Restoration was stored.
