Oda Nobunaga | The Demon Daimyō & Great Unifier of Japan

At the time of his passing in 1582, Oda Nobunaga was the de-facto ruler of Japan and led the most formidable samurai force in the nation’s history, he also stood as the most powerful man in Japan. He was fueled by an unyielding ambition and he wielded his power with merciless resolve. Born in the Sengoku period a time of everlasting war, where the power of the Ashikaga Shogunate was fading, Nobunaga, unexpectedly rose to become the most powerful warlord in the country. Nobunaga, was very human, prone to outbursts of anger, was a bizarre teenager acting extreemely strangely, but above all, he possessed a brilliant military mind and changed the nature of Japanese warfare during his time fighting for the unification of Japan, a land which had been in a state of constant war for the last 100 years.
Oda Nobunaga is known as the the first great unifier of Japan, however to his enemies at the time he was known as the Demon Daimyo. This is his story.

Oda Nobunaga is HIM. Imagine having an ambition so juicy and tempting that not one but TWO people (who weren’t exactly that loyal) continued your master plan after you died.

I know its crazy, the sengoku period really was the ultimate game of chess

I noticed this video right after watching the new Assassin's Creed trailer, in which, as it happens, Oda Nobunaga is going to appear in

[@historyprofiles]

Nice! I wonder if he is the target who is assassinated in the game! I hope you enjoyed the video!

[@carrioncrow7687]

This video was very intriguing. As for the upcoming Assassin's Creed, I'm pretty sure Nobunaga is gonna be a major antagonist

[@MRHEEL-ys2rq]

Nobunaga is the one who gave Yasuke his station and made him a samurai. In fact made Yasuke one of his generals

[@nichhodge8503]

Massive fan of history and Assassin’s Creed (favourite game series) and have been waiting a long time for Ubisoft to do a game based in this period. I’m glad they’ve waited this long to do it because they can really do it justice with current generation technology compared to the PS3/XBOX 360 technology which is when I wanted them to base the game in Japan during this time as I will have 2 game saves one using the female shinobi character and the other using the male samurai character. So roll on November 14th (I think it’s the 14th but I’ve pre-ordered the ultimate edition which give one week early excess) as it’s my early/late birthday present to myself (early as I’ve bought it already but late as my birthday is in October). I’m watching this video to refresh my memory about the period and have also enjoyed the series Shōgun on Disney+ which is set in the slightly later Edo period from 1600 AD, if not seen it I highly recommend it if you have access to Disney+.

Why no mention of the Legendary rival of Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, who defeated Nobunaga at Tedorigawa?

[@historyprofiles]

There both getting their own video, I briefly mentioned shingen crushing ieyasu nobunagas general, however I did want to keep the video mainly about nobunaga and the battles he was present at, the tiger of Kai and dragon of echigo need a long video for them

[@TheGhost-fk4eo]

[@TheGhost-fk4eo]

@@user-xh6mk9dc1m Wait, I heard he died of esophageal cancer? But yeah, Nobunaga got VERY lucky quite often. He was lucky at Okehazama. Got lucky that Shingen died before he could do more damage to the Tokugawa. Then again got lucky when Kenshin died. His luck did eventually run out though.

[@mumblingmercian3386]

Nobunaga gets a lot of stick for doing what every other Daimyo of his age was doing, he was just the best at it and did it on a grander scale. He was also a maverick of the highest order too. That’s why he gets a lot of crap from a very traditional culture.

[@historyprofiles]

Yea my favourite unifier by far! So ahead of his time! He had iron clad warships!!!!! Imagine what would have happened if he wasn’t attacked at honno ji

[@mumblingmercian3386]

@@historyprofiles my favourite too, though I massively admire Ieyasu. Ieyasu (like Mitsuhide) had good reason to dislike the Oda after he had his heir and wife killed. Hideyoshi did the Oda clan dirty with no good motivation, his only redeeming feature was he was an outstanding general (the best of the three IMO).

[@historyprofiles]

@@mumblingmercian3386 yeah I agree, nobunaga was too much of a maverick had no respect for his subordinate daimyos, spoke to them like crap and yes he put pressure on ieyasu to have his own wife and son killed, and ieyasu actually did it! Just goes to show how Machiavellian ieyasu was, so patient and calculating. I love nobunaga for his early victories, overthrowing the shogun, being the fool of owari! Hideyoshi was a genius, I agree by far the best general, his work ethic was unmatched but yes, betraying his old master how he did with the guise of being hidenobus guardian then taking the power for himself was dirty. That just gave ieyasu the idea to do the same thing when hideyoshi died. His time had come and after a lifetime of waiting and somehow surviving all those battles, he finally became the shogun. The title nobunaga had taken away from Ashikaga yoshiaki. Thus ieyasu was the most Machiavellian as he lifeless used his own family members as pawns for his own ambition. I don’t know why but nobunagas story just entrances me than the others. All amazing tales though

I think it's because he was an atheist, not believing in temple gods of the buddhas, relying only on his own merit, which led him to be very arrogant and disliked. I hope you enjoyed the video though!
