Warring States Japan: Sengoku Jidai - The Siege of Inabayama Castle - Extra History - Part 2

[@MrPughg]

"Warrior Monks" - And with two words I have never been more excited about history.

[@Darasilverdragon]

they're game designers and whatnot, man they know how to work an interest curve

[@DemonBossKenji]

The warrior monks are assholes basically, I don't mean to spoil it, I just had to say it

[@mas8705]

Yeah... That is the best way to describe the man who is about to tip the scales. I don't want to spoil it, but for those of you who've played Samurai Warriors (or even Basara) or any other game set in this timeline, you know exactly who we're talking about.

[@Angelblue1302]

CURSE YOU WARRIOR MONKS! Always ruining stuff.

[@bradybowman8835]

Thats my favorite pantheon

[@Hailstormful]

Building an entire garrison tower right on your enemies face, that's some Protoss levels of balls right there...

[@maxpower2480]

To be fair: They did it pre-patch. Not sure if current balancing would allow such a move ;)

[@scotttaylor7146]

This is only the second example of offensive castle building I've ever seen (the other was an English castle built smack in the midle of Welsh-held territory).

[@taru5302]

Hideyoshi's castle was built in parts elsewhere and then put together in one night. I believe it is one of the first instances in history of a building being built away from its later site.

[@festethephule7553]

Minamoto Yoshiie So...the first Ikea?

[@Earl25212]

Romans I think, did it first, considering their castra or fort are modular only to be put up in place. I could be wrong maybe some other civilization earlier than the Romans carry their forts and just assemble them onsite.

[@haranu1839]

Kind of like the colonists in the American revolution.

[@Tosei0816]

It was a wood/bamboo fort which the walls are essentially rafts that can just float down rivers and them prop up with timber beams that can also float down river. I think stone reinforcement was built later and the outer wooden wall taken down as material for the keep. Not sure wat the timeline was in Saito conquest tho. Could have happened after Saito conceded.

[@yaylollerp6685]

Yes, I thought that was what happened as well. What I learned was that he actually did assemble it in a day, but the parts were built offsite and assembled later. I also heard that the original building was very flimsy, and had to be later reinforced, but it was the main shock that a building had suddenly appeared that counted.

[@rolandsquire6555]

I sometimes wonder if Japanese people, when studying Western history, find our names so complicated.

[@Sir_Crow]

When they see that we keep our names throughout history, I bet they think "oh thank god! Too bad they're language is just as confusing as the names."

When I saw the previous video world war I, name like Nichollas "nicky", Wilhelm "willy", Franz do seems pretty similar. Not mention the hardest one to remember like Pourtales and Sazonov. It took me at least 2 times rewatching the video to know what's going on.

[@TheMakoyou]

The rotation of the house where they lived in becomes the place name and stays now.Both were the places that were near to Edo Castle.(near the Imperial Palace now) Anjin street →Chu-o-Ku (near Ginza ) in Tokyo Yaesu (Yayousu) town →Near to Tokyo station. If you come to Japan, You will see "Yaesu gate" in Tokyo Station.

[@Linfamy]

I'm sure they do. In European medieval history, there were a thousand Richards and Edwards, only differentiated by the number appended to their names.

[@MaxWelton]

3:17 the decision to send Hideyoshi in to bribe the Saitō’s allies and speed-build the fort shows a strange mix of humility and pride on Nobunaga’s part. He knew he was Japan’s greatest military mind, but realized that the task at hand required a different skillset to his own speciality. It’s an interesting combination of grace and resource management skills.

[@michaeldonahue1009]

Actually, Hideyoshi's castle was indeed "put up" in a single night. He pre-fabricated the components at several nearby building sites, shipped them in with rollers, sledges and teams of draft animals, then erected the structure overnight using the pre-assembled sections.

[@anon2427]

Samurai Warriors. Or, more specifically, the first game in the Samurai Warriors spin-off series of the Dynasty Warriors series by Koei-Tecmo. Worth checking out for a cursory summing-up of Japanese history with a couple of big important names, and a fairly solid series of hack-and-slash games besides.

[@IllIlIIlIll]

I just wanted to drop by and say my first interest into this channel was from the Punic Wars series of Extra History. Since then I've waited and hoped that you would continue to develop this line of animation and am very glad you have. Your presentation of history combined with graphics is succinct and entertaining for persons of all age. I hope you continue on to find joy and popularity in your future works.

[@RodiHoualla]

Yes, the days I’ve spent playing samurai Warriors, this makes me nostalgic

[@SuperHamsterhuey]

4:18 "Now, we can be sure that he didn't really build that place overnight". Yes he did, he just went to the store and paid $2 for 50 DaimyoDollars so he could built it instantly

[@erikschaeffer8419]

solid series and great intro to the series

[@vizthex]

I love how the people who made this made it funny; learning is better when it's fun, and if while you make it funny, it's also educational, you earned a subscriber

[@tipsypeaches]

Aw man, this is making me feel old: I studied all this stuff in East Asisn Civilisation in first year at uni! Great work guys, I love Extra History, you do a really good job of finding all the little details that bring the stories to life.

[@MaxWelton]

That intro animation with the books sparks joy

[@zeroangelmk1]

"What could possibly go wrong?" My thought exactly. I'm sure everything will go swell. No betrayals or anything could happen, or anything like that.

[@gratuitouslurking8610]

Well considering the next chapter is called Capturing Cities of Doom, It's safe to say that EVERYTHING COULD GO WRONG!!!

[@EchoL0C0]

I'm glad they put in that blurb about names. Now the "evolution" of the warlords in Pokemon Conquest kind of make sense.

[@scotttaylor7146]

Name extention is not just part of Japaneese culture. There once was a man by the name of Sven Forkbeard Erikson of Legend, King of Denmark & Norway and Conqueror of the Angles, Saxons, and Brittons.

[@seinine]

About the fortress toyotomi "build in one night". First its not a forteress you would think with stone walls and else, in fact fences were enough. Second, Toyotomi did gather pre-builded material to the site and only the assemblage of the castle was made in one night. One of the famous strategy of Hideyoshi was also to display a single side of a castle in the sight of enemy fortress in order it look like an entire fortress was already built, and he used that too on Inabayama. Toyotomi main skills were not diplomacy but strategy on castle sieges.

[@Smartacus98]

[@chrisgarbutt1893]

Ubisoft Please make a Assassins creed game based this time period.

[@darkionx]

Emm I don't think it would be possible because of the blood line of the Present Guy.

[@EVacStation]

Darkion I don't think that matters anymore after how the "present guy" storyline got basically derailed in AssCreed4. At this point, it'd be completely doable. Ubisoft is just a lazy publisher without any good ideas anymore. :P

[@darkionx]

EVacStation Ubisoft = New EA, I loved the old Ubisoft that really used Rayman :/

[@Sil3ntLynx]

Darkion Rayman up to 3 was the best thing ever, then they made some spinoffs (let's please call them spinoffs) and now they made Origins and Legends, which are great, though I still hope for an earnest Rayman 4

[@EVacStation]

Darkion To be fair, they still have SOME good stuff. (Trials is good. Far Cry is good). But 2014 has been a total year of fuck ups for them (at least from a PR standpoint). They've got a lot of work ahead of them in 2015 to make up for all that.

[@HALFandDOUBLE]

This is a great series to go along with the anime Nobunaga Concerto, a lot of its history is sped up and this fills in the gaps nicely.

[@toshihideto]

Apparently toyotomi Hideyoshi made the castle by importing the wood for the castle instead of cutting it from the local area using trees for cover. Also called ichiya jo or one night castle since they just cut the wood in the night before to show it off as miraculously appearing.

[@danielhale1]

I love these Extra History episodes. Thanks for doing them!

My only regret is how long these episodes take to make. Although that said its obvious why both the story telling and the images are superb

[@AegixDrakan]

Wait, so why DID those three do so well at unifying japan? You never came back to the question! :o

[@pianoguy222]

Tactical brilliance mixed with copious amounts of effective diplomacy and a willingness to discard traditional practices. Need a castle to take the castle: why not just build one?

[@Necroskull388]

What it mostly comes down to is that Oda and his buddies didn't blind themselves with tradition or convention--they embraced whatever was most effective, and they were good at it.

[@AegixDrakan]

Ah, so it's just that these three guys realized that "pragmatic" was more efficient than "traditional"? And no one else did? .....*laughs* Oh man, if that's actually the case, Japan in those days REALLY had this whole thing coming! XD

[@jongyon7192p]

Aegix Drakan Well, if ya wanna talk about those who tried to stick with tradition, there's the entirety of China and Korea. And you know where all that eventually lead to.

[@extrahistory]

I'll touch on my thoughts on it in the Lies episode for this one, but I want EH to be a jumping off point not a ending point for people, so you can expect that I'll be throwing out questions that I don't answer specifically to spawn discussions like this ; ) -JP

I liked the previous episodes of extra history very much, but this one is actually in some way even more interesting because i never knew anything about Japans history and was not told about it in School, either. However i must say it is really difficult to deal with the names

5:07- And this is why some fiction portray Hideyoshi as one of Nobunaga's ninja XD

[@CC-tl3zs]

The good ole days of extra history

[@AuntieInari]

I see we're nearly to the tragic act that ensures Nobunaga's reputation as being "evil" in the eyes of every video game designer and anime writer in Japan... Shame he didn't have the political acumen to work the religious angle as well as he did the military one. He might have fared a lot better. Shame about the giant golden Buddha too... Lost to history.

[@AuntieInari]

***** Oh I'm aware that Nobunaga didn't hate the Buddhists, and it was a military decision, but since Japan's primary faiths are Shinto and Buddhism, his destruction of the temple is the reason he was vilified by pretty much everyone who used him in a popular work of entertainment in modern times. Had he been able to (as some of his contemporaries did) exploit the religious angle and gain the backing of the monks, he'd have left a completely different legacy, and would likely be the hero of the very works in which he is currently cast as the enemy.

[@Necroskull388]

***** There was also the concern that Japanese Christians would be loyal to a foreign Pope, and the fact that the Portugese King kept asking Jesuit priests whether an invasion of Japan would be viable or not. Historically, Eastern civilization has actually been pretty accepting of foreign religions, but they're paranoid and react violently when they think that foreign cultures are subverting the populace.

[@Borderose]

I'd say Nobunaga did have considerable political chops of his own (you don't get to conquer most of Japan at the time with just force alone). He was just forced to make a decision in regards to a very real military nuisance--i.e the warrior monks of Mt. Hiei. Those guys were everywhere serving as mercenaries to anyone who can pay for their services and basically gave Nobunaga a huge military headache. That, plus they were really against a lot of his policies and his rise to power. Especially since Nobunaga never was a guy with any deep attachment to religion, and most probably saw the monks as a regressive, stuffy, hypocritical institution that tied Japan to a past he had relatively little interest with. Heck, that might have been one of the things that made him friendly towards the Christian missionaries--while he wasn't a Christian himself, he liked that Christian rituals and prayers didn't take nearly as long as Buddhist ones which Nobunaga found tedious and boring.

I almost want to not read about this until the next video's done because spoilers (for ancient history, I know, but STILL). Why, WHY have I never heard of any Sengoku Jidai games?! I'd play the HELL out of this!

[@ScipiPurr]

Shogun 2 Total War is set during the Sengoku Jidai. And it's expansion, Fall of the Samurai, is set during the Boshin War.

[@john-alanpascoe5848]

I'm pretty sure Paradox made a strategy game focussed on the Sengoku Jidai (at least the game is also called Sengoku). Also Europa Universalis covers the period, although I'm not sure how fleshed out the Japan experience will be (it's called *Europa* Universalis after all).

[@Gabylondo4]

1:58 That Pokemon reference is kind of funny, considering that there's an actual Pokemon spinoff game, called Pokemon Conquest, starring a lot of the people talked about in this series. And Nobunaga can actually evolve in it. Not into Nobunagatron, unfortunately, but he does get the ability to form perfect links with Zekrom and Rayquaza, and a Warrior Skill that lets his Pokemon move twice in one turn, so still pretty cool.

Williamz there was a lot of fighting outside of europe the continent, but this involved mostly colonies not different countries. also the ww1 series was only about how the war came to be, not how it played out. to be honest I would love to hear more about is aswell though... but i guess I just want more extra hisroty it's so awesome and i really like this series, because i watched the nobunaga concerto anime earlier this year, but didnt know any of the history so it was kinda confusing

If you want to hear more about how the first world war played out in more detail, I recommend the podcast Dan Carlin's Hardcore History.

You guys are awesome! Learning history should be fun. At least before delving into the heavy reading, these videos give you a great overview.
