very cool to see, I love to see remnants of clans and tribes still around in the modern era. Similarly in somalia, many tribes from the medieval period still exist and even still function relatively in the same way. Unfortunately this leads to some discrimination but its still cool to see tribes that were once known for dominating nearby regions or going toe to toe with european powers still exist.

This is why I say many history teachers are bad at their jobs, and the curriculum they have to teach isn't well designed. History is amazing, and often more fantastical than fiction. The Sengoku Jidai. Bismarck. The bird-mania that happened after Augustus defeated Antony. The Dancing Mania, when people literally danced until they dropped dead of exhaustion. The battles of Alesia, or Cannae, or Zama, or anything that Bellisarius did. The pyramids. The Roman's self-repairing concrete that lasts centuries that we only figured out how it works in 2023. Admiral Sun Yi Sun-sin. If people say history is boring, it's because they were taught it by someone who had lost their passion for it, because history is littered with the most incredible stories. History classes in school should be designed to get kids interested and excited about learning it.

When is the next steam sale for shogun 2

It's time for Who's Going To Be The Next Shogun? Usually it's the shogun's kid, but the shogun doesn't have a kid, so he tries to get his brother to quit being a monk and be the next shogun. He says okay, but then the shogun has a kid. So now who's it gonna be? Vote now on your phones! And everyone voted so hard, that the palace caught on fire and burned down. (Onin War) The shogun actually didn't care, he was somewhere doing poetry. And the whole country broke into pieces. (Sengoku Jidai) Everyone is fighting with each other for local power, and it's anybody's game. Knock knock, it's Europe. No, they're not here to take over (yet). They just wanna sell some shit. Like clocks. And guns. And ♫ Jesus ♫ So that's cool, but everyone's still fighting each other for control, now with guns. And wouldn't it be nice to control the capital, which right now is puppets, with no one controlling them. This clan (Imagawa) is ready to make a run for it. But first, they have to trample this smaller clan (Oda) which is in the way. Surprise! Smaller clan wins, and the leader of that clan (Oda Nobunaga) steals the idea of invading the capital, and invades the capital. It goes very well. He's about halfway through conquering Japan, when someone who works for him kills him. And then someone else who works for him (toyotomi hideyoshi) kills him. And that guy finishes conquering Japan. And then he confiscated everybody's swords. And made some rules. "And now I'm going to invade Korea, and then hopefully China," he said, and failed, and also died. But before he died, he told these 5 guys to take care of his 5 year old son until he's old enough to be the next ruler of Japan. And the 5 guys said "Yeah, right. It's not gonna be this kid, it's gonna be one of us. Because we're grownups. And it's probably gonna be this guy (tokugawa ieyasu) who happens to be way more rich and powerful than he others. A lot of people support him, but a lot of people support not supporting him. They have a fight. He wins! And starts a new government right here. ♫ Edo ♫ And he still lets the emperor dress like an emperor, and have very nice things. But don't get confused, this is he new government, and they are very strict. So strict, they closed the country.

3:00 Small nitpick, but this technically isn't a Catch-22 situation, but a Morton's fork. A catch-22 is a situation where you have to do A to do B, but A requires you already done B. For example, you have a locked chest with a fragile figure in it. You need the figure. The key to the chest is in the chest. To open the chest (A) you need the key (B) but the only way to get the key (A) is to open the chest (B). All requirements for success have interlocking requirements that make it impossible to move forward. Morton's Fork, on the other hand, is a situation where all choices lead to the same or similar conclusion, but for different reasons. You still need the figure intact. The key isn't in the chest, but on a pressure sensitive plate. If you remove the key from the plate, the trap will trigger, and a boulder will smash the chest. If you don't grab the key, then you can't get the figure out of the chest, while if you do grab the key, the figure will be in a million pieces (and no, you do not have the skill or the glue to put it back together). Same result, different reasons.

More than a century of non-stop Samurai war. That's horrifically metal.

Reference to Total War catches on

I admit Sengoku Jidai is one of the history I really look forward to learn. Since I've played Samurai Warriors, of course. heehee! The Battle of Okehazama is one of those iconic battles. Surely this totally describes both Nobunaga Oda's leadership, wits, cunning, and his ruthlessness to slaughter all of the Imagawa clan, thus earning his reputation.

Lovely episode, but I have a few quips: 1) I feel like Nobunaga's the most interesting of the 3 Unifiers and should have been given a lot more focus; 2) Motoyasu (Ieyasu) and Nobunaga already met prior to their alliance--they were childhood friends and practical considerations aside, that little fact played a considerable part in their partnership, and 3) The Oda...wasn't that powerful of a clan. Owari was just small province, and Nobuhide and Nobunaga's military leadership aside, no one believed the Oda ever stood a chance against a clan as powerful as the Imagawa...until Okehazama happened and Nobunaga pursued his vision of conquest. (The man was as ballsy and brilliant as he was brutal and eccentric.)

He was called "the fool of Owari" and that move on the imagawa prove the land he was SERIOUS BUSSINESS

@Borderose

9 жыл бұрын

Luis Aguilar Well to be fair, Ieyasu did care about the people and ruled with that idea in mind. He was still a brutal warlord--don't get me wrong, but he genuinely was a badass figure who led an amazing life. Unfortunately, compared to Nobunaga and Hideyoshi...his story kinda pales in comparison. I mean let's just take Nobunaga for example: Nobunaga was a recognized military genius who didn't really think the same way as most Japanese nobles. He didn't care much for rank or bloodlines or titles, seemed to have been contemptuous of gods and deities when most held that they should at least be respected, had a comparatively laid-back (and meritocratic) ruling style, promoted and improved trade, opened a tax-free market zone near his castle, his bodyguards and lieutenants are oftentimes composed of the same peasant brats he played (and wrestled) with as children ; he sang and danced whatever the hell he wanted to, did his own thing despite the amount of constant criticism he gets on a daily basis (as well as the general belief before Okehazama that he was a self-indulgent simpleton), was very receptive to new and novel ideas (especially in regards to the west) invented new battlefield tactics (especially in the deployment of firearms), and was probably a bisexual. The man, by all accounts, was REALLY, REALLY WEIRD...which of course means that a lot of time people misunderstand him (like with the gold-plated skull episode), and because of his own eccentricities, the way he responds to these misunderstandings was often quite odd as well: when people began calling him "Dairokuten Maou" (Demon King of the Sixth Heaven) after the Mt. Hiei episode, he seemed to have taken a liking to it and adopted it for himself. Part of the reason he got such a bad reputation was because he challenged and flat-out antagonized much of the common-held values of his time and a lot of people saw him as a violent reformer. And of course, because of the Hiei scenario, the monks understandably didn't like him. And they were the ones doing most of the writing. The man embodied the unpredictable nature of the times, was both hero and villain to most of his contemporaries, and at least for me, he also embodies a few delightful traits of the Japanese people: innovation and a special love for novelty. His reputation is recovering in more recent portrayals of him in Japan partly because I feel that because of modern Japan's very rigid and conservative (and frankly disillusioning) social structure, he now represents the new generation's (romantic) desire to reform and change their country--to "take their fate into their own hands", "to go against the old world" and to "prove themselves after being underestimated" like Nobunaga did, and also because the younger Japanese people are, like him, generally more open to foreign concepts than their predecessors, and now see the wisdom in his policies and his adoption of foreign ideas. In many ways, he's become the spirit of Japanese counter-culture.

Play as Oda in Total War Shogun and destroy the Imigawa and Tokugawa in a few turns

This has been an unbelievably good series on the Japanese feudal era ... I have been interested in it ever since falling in love with anime like Rourini Kenshin and Inu Yasha. The videos were terrifically informative and historically sound, a rare find for these days of psuedo-historical works. I have become a Patreon of #ExtraHistory. Looking forward to your work on the Panama Canal, one of the greatest achievements of the US, the Eastern Front in WWII, the Hundred Years war and the Crusades.

This is pretty cool. Having watched 'Shogun' as a kid and playing Kessen III (which follows the story of Nobunaga), this is all very interesting. Also, the Matsudaira boy who was rescued by the Imagawa changed his given name to Motoyasu when he took over the Matsudaira clan. The Moto taken from "Yoshimoto Imagawa". When he allied with Nobunaga he changed his name to Ieyasu Tokugawa and remained one of Nobunaga's most faithful allies till his death.

Unahim Enter Emperor Meiji, gunpowder and the Boshin Senso. It amazes me to this day that Japan turned from an almost medieval state to a fully modernised, armed nation almost entirely under his rule.

Hello there! A friend recommended I watch this last night, and I had to say the 9 minutes of this video went by in the blink of an eye! About to binge your entire sengoku jidai list :D Brilliant work!

Thank you so much Extra Credits for telling the tales of one of my favorite periods of history. I'm a little disappointed that you guys decided not to follow the rivalry between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, but I love how you're following my other favorite daimyo Oda Nobunaga. Dude's a badass

As excellent as the new EC/EH episodes are, I still find myself missing the older era of the channel. Re watching them I can't quite pinpoint why as of yet, so maybe it's just nostalgia.

It has become some what of a tradition to rewatch this series once a year.

I binge watched these videos for 4 hours and I now know more about the history of the middle east and Asia than I ever learned in my highschool world-history classes.

One point for the recap correction in the end: Oba Nobunaga's kabuto doesn't have that crest. The sloped crest is of Date Masamune, from what I found Nobunaga had sort of a "standard" crest on his helmet.

Extra History is quickly becoming a cornerstone in a triumvirate of historical material amongst the things I watch and listen to online; alongside Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcasts and the vlogbrothers' Crash Course: World History, both of which I'd highly recommend if you liked this. That's a hell of a spot for a show derived from video game discussion to find itself in - and I applaud the work of the Extra Credits crew for their efforts. You folks are doing a great job - keep it up!

...So how are you going to protect your *shit*? from *criminals*? *HIRE A SAMURAI*!

Correction. Rich and important people hired samurai, poor people who could not afford a samurai did not hire a samurai.

Sengoku Jidai! So excited to see your take on this fascinating period. Already learning new things.

And that is why Oda Nobunaga is also known as "The Fool".

Oda Nobunaga's character is one that is most outright hard to pin down. He's pragmatic to the point of eccentricity (for that time), yet always ready to expend resources (people) that aren't 100% at his disposal. He has vision and stratagem to spare, yet seems prone to take such incredible, high-stakes risks. Sometimes, I can't tell if he actually cares for his friends/family or if he sees them mostly as pawns. He was brilliant in his conquest and policies, yet ruthless was his reign. He's an interesting character of history to say the least.

I really love your "story-telling" style for every video, and those cute animations too

Came back from the Netflix series to rewatch this masterpiece!!!

What Netflix series? Just curious

second time watching the sengoku jidai series in years and I think I have a better understanding of following the story and the names since I know much more about the historical context.

I love how a lot of these battles are won with cunning strategy, tricks, and tactics rather then just mindless brute strength and numbers.

One of my favorite historical periods. I hope you cover Masamune Date and Takeda Shingen, even if it's just a brief bit.

It's their fault for letting their general die so early in the battle... Oda clans ashigaru spam defeated them.

Heads up everyone getting into this series! The last episode comment section was full of people who complained over not following the story with all them foreign names that "all sound the same", so here's the *three* names you need to remember: *Nobunaga, Tokugawa,* and *Hideyoshi.* Whatever happens in the video, listen for Nobu, Toku and/or Hide. Those are your cues to pay attention, the other names are supporting characters that you may put to memory if you have enough attention span left for it, but don't bother if the lack of western names are already a struggle for you.

Mongol series, sengokou jidai, admiral of Korea, end of samurai, militarisation of Japan and the pearl harbour should be part of one playlist titled Japan cause and effect.

One of coolest yt channels ever!!!!

I really must say, great job on all this. Me being a feudal Japan enthusiast can tell you sure did your research. Although to be honest, I'm not an expert on this, but great job!

How he is saying imigawa is ticking me off. Its fricken imagawa.

My history teacher showed us this channel, and the first videos we watched were the ones on the Byzantine Empire. I've always been interested in Japanese history, and this is a very good video. I can't wait to watch my Yasu-kun lead!

0:00. That opening jingle makes me so happy!

Wow I feel like this came out yesterday

I remember coming across a documentary about one of those leaders in the Tokugawa clan. They describe the guy as being a great political strategist. He was a good military too but he was able to figure out in this terrible time utilizing strategic diplomacy, politics, and setting up connections was important for him as much as military activities.

So much detail here that I never knew!

This one is just awesome. Japan's history has always been fascinating for me. I request the extra history team to make some more series of interesting events in the Japanese history.

well... as soon as i heard oda nobunaga, i knew this was going to be VERY interesting.

This video is a great intro to the Sengoku Jidai! Thank you!

Dang I never realized son Goku was a Jedi also. That's amazing. Lol

You have a real talent telling a story, I was holding my breath all the way. This was so fun and instructive. Thanks for sharing!

I really like how you've finally stepped into the Sengoku Jidai, though I'd really like to see more of the actors involved: just a skim through the most popular Japanese media today (yes, anime and the like) will tell you that there are a lot of large-scale events that need to be covered here, most particularly the great Uesugi-Takeda rivalry, as well as the legends of people like Honda Tadakatsu; the "One-eyed Dragon" Date Masamune of Oshu; Sanada Yukimura, whose most trusted agent and leader of his Ten Braves, Sarutobi Sasuke, is basically a folk legend, and "The Eccentric" Maeda Keiji. EC pls.

These videos honestly make me despite the educational system. I’ve learned so much more history in 2 days by watching your videos than I’ve ever done in school

You know, I've got to say, these are a lot more engaging when you go in not knowing anything about the period. I'm actually glad I've put off learning about the particulars of ww1 and the sengoku period up til now, won't have the story spoiled :)

8:44: That's a whole new level of plot twist 0o0

a hundred years of ceaseless war? the hundred year war in europe : that's my boy

Why the hell haven't I found this channel before? I just love it! Instant sub!

I am so glad that Extra Credits was smart and thoughtful enough to include both the Near and Far East in this brilliant series.

Anyone else rewatching these because Shogun 2 Total War is free on steam?
