Fun fact: many of the clan families are still around today, some of them having made the transition from landholding warlords to captains of industry, and some just blending into the general populace. Tokugawa Tsunenari, born in 1940, heads the Tokugawa Foundation, dedicated to preserving historical artifacts. His son went to U. Mich and is now a translator. Oda Nobunaga's direct descendant Oda Nobunari represented Japan in figure skating at the Vancouver Olympics.

[@resentfuldragon]

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.

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.

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.

[@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human]

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.

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.

The knight of badassness I doubt it. Romance of the Three Kingdoms stems from The Yellow Rebellion, where China is still split like the Sengoku Japan. Problem is, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is way too complicated, with The rise of and fall of Yuan family, leading to more problems. The Rise Three Kingdoms are like 60% into the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" period, with the Battle of Che Bi. Later ,"Juan" swoops in and screwed over "Wei", then proceed to finish off "Wu". And Shu were long gone before this happens. TL;DR You at need to at least have degree in Chinese history to know about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is just....way too complicated =D

All history is complicated but a nice quick recap based on the early period (when Liu Bie was buddies with Cao Cao) would be nice. They have done WWI with no real problem.

"Like Miyamoto Musashi..." Fuck yeah Musashi! Dude killed Sasaki Kojiro after arriving late to their duel... and he killed him using an oar. Not even a sword. An oar. I love those two. They're basically anime characters... but they were real. Well, and they're also in a shit ton of media because... yeah. Also, I love Oda Nobunaga, partially because of the cultural point he represents in Japan- he's both revered and loathed, remembered as basically a combination of how the U.S. revere's Washington and how the world reviles Hitler. As one person. It's actually fascinating from a sociological and historical standpoint.

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 :)

This is the second time watching and I just realised the triforce from the legend of zelda series is one of the flags of the clan attacking a weakened imagawa

[@theminiyosshi2901]

[@jakobbrown6028]

My favorite extra credits history series yet

[@gargoyles9999]

Who tipped off the Oda about the hostage transfer? Walpole

[@samplayssomegames3249]

gargoyles9999 I should have known

[@pegadirty]

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.

[@KeyleeTamirian]

Ahhh, now after i finished Samurai Warriors 4 and playing Samurai Warriors 4-II, i can finally watch this history ^__^

[@peelslowly28]

They really need to do an episode where they talk about Myomoto Musashi, he's such a prevalent part of Japanese culture even to this day and they barely said a word about him here.

[@PossessedbyPhoenix]

Because he's not very relevant to the warring states era where he was just an inexperienced grunt. His significance came afterwards

[@ThatGuy-et6qj]

This helped me a lot with understanding the sengoku period! Also,, can you please do a kamakura and muromachi period if possible 💦
