Line 41:
* [[Lucky Bastard]]: Not one but ''two'' lords and tremendously skilled generals (Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin) died under mysterious circumstances soon after having initial success in their campaigns against Nobunaga. Needless to say, conspiracy theories about these deaths abound.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]
* [[Otaku]]: An inversion. He was tremendously interested in Western culture. He is accepted to be one of the first men to wear Western clothes, collected Western trinkets and supported Christian missionaries, though he didn't convert (It may have been purely pragmatic, one of his significant enemies was militant Buddhists). He also saw the advantage of gunpowder weaponry and used them to great effect, more so than other Daimyos.
* [[Satan]]: According to Luís Fróis, it was Nobunaga who nicknamed himself "Dairokuten maou", lit. "Devil King of the Sixth Heaven", which is essentially the same as calling himself Satan. He was probably being ironic, but later generations were eager to take it literally...
