Line 11:
Amusingly enough, his most famous descendant, Oda Nobunari, is one of Japan's top male figure skaters, and is most known for crying at the drop of a hat, and getting caught driving his moped drunk.
Compare with other historical figures [[Miyamoto Musashi]] and [[Yagyu Jubei]]. Almost always a [[Big Bad]], [[Evil Overlord]] and [[Zero

Line 47:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In an early episode of ''[[Inuyasha]]'', Kagome is startled when a handsome, idealistic young samurai gives his name as Nobunaga. She eagerly asks for his autograph, only to see in disappointment that he is ''Amari'' Nobunaga; when she asks about Oda Nobunaga, the other Nobunaga objects to being mistaken for "that idiot." This has been [[Year Zero|used by fans to put a date]] to the Inuyasha story, since there's a very limited period of time when Oda Nobunaga was known, but considered not to be a big deal.
* Nobunaga doesn't directly appear in ''Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma'', but the story takes place at the height of his conquests, and he influences the story since the main character is a ninja serving the Takeda clan when it opposes Nobunaga, and because the brutality of Nobunaga's conquests is giving power to the Yoma demons. At one point the main character thinks about Nobunaga's brutality and wonders if he is a demon. While he's doing this, Nobunaga and his army are seen in a montage, and all of them have [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|glowing]] [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red eyes]].
* In ''Wrath of the Ninja'' Nobunaga appears to be the chief antagonist for the 3 heroes, conquering Japan with demonic help and seeking to be transformed into a demon himself. {{spoiler|This time, however, there's a [[Man Behind the Man]], a demon looking to use the bloodshed of war and Nobunaga's cruelty to power the demons themselves, and Nobunaga is just his patsy.}}
* Nobunaga is a major antagonist in ''[[Samurai Deeper Kyo]]''.
Line 101:
* In ''Inindo'', Nobunaga is, naturally, the [[Big Bad]]. But through [[One Hundred Percent Completion|careful play]], he can die when historically supposed to (Shocks!) and be replaced by a [[Replacement Scrappy|random guy who appears for no reason with his demon-pet]]. Woowee!
* A rare case of a non-evil Oda Nobunaga: the [[Koei]] strategy video game ''[[Nobunagas Ambition]]'', which lets you play as Nobunaga or any of three dozen other daimyo trying to claim the Japanese crown. Nobunaga generally has the best attributes of all of them, though.
** In the series' crossover with ''[[Pokémon]]'', known as ''[[Pokémon Conquest]]'' in America, Nobunaga is one of the main antagonists. His [[Badass|Badassery]] is not lost here, as he gets to control not one, but ''two'' [[Olympus Mons|Legendary]] [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons|dragons]] (first [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (Video Game)|Shiny Rayquaza]], then [[Pokémon Black and White (Video Game)|Zekrom]]) through the course of the game.
* The ''Taikou Risshiden'' RPG/strategy series, where Hideyoshi is the main character, has Nobunaga shown as an magnificent lord defying the norm by trusting a peasant-born warrior.
* ''Shogun: [[Total War]]'' has a non-evil Nobunaga, in the linear campaign the player gets to command several of his more famous battles.
