Line 39:
* [[Kill It with Fire]]: Nobunaga had a rather disturbing tendency to burn and raze the strongholds of his enemies... with his enemies still inside them.
* [[Never Bring a Knife to A Gun Fight]]: Part of why he was so successful was that he basically wrote the book on firearms in warfare till the invention of the metallic cartridge.
* [[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.
Line 61:
== [[Film]] ==
* In [[Akira Kurosawa|Akira Kurosawa's]] ''Kagemusha'', [[Takeda Shingen]], a powerful rival of Nobunaga's, (and perhaps a better general) uses a lookalike thief to pretend to be healthy instead of {{spoiler|dead}} in an attempt to discourage an attack on his clan. {{spoiler|Rightfully infuriated, Nobunaga proceeds to decimate the Takeda cavalry led by Shingen's son, [[Replacement Scrappy|the hotheaded Takeda Katsuyori]] in the Battle of Nagashino.}}
* In the film for ''[[Ghost Sweeper Mikami]]'', both Oda Nobunaga and his vassal blamed for his death, Akechi Mitsuhide, appear. In a uncommon aversion, a ghostly Akechi defends his apparent betrayal by explaining that Nosferatu killed the original Oda, transformed himself and took his place, leading to the famed brutality.
* Nobunaga is a target of the ninjas in ''Shinobi no Mono''.
