Oda Nobunaga: Difference between revisions

{{Useful Notes}}

 

Credited as being the first of the Three Unifiers of modern Japan, '''Oda Nobunaga''' was one of Japan's most successful warlords. He started as a son of a minor daimyo (and earned the nickname "The Fool of Owari" due to his [[Obfuscating Stupidity|childhood and teenage antics]]), with a number of factions within his own province opposing him, eventually he would not only crush those factions but also proceed to conquer over a third of Japan, with the rest well positioned to fall to him. That ended on June 21, 1582, when his retainer [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] attacked him at Honno temple; Nobunaga, his bodyguards and his [[Uke|wakashu]] Mori Ranmaru died that night.

Compare with other historical figures [[Miyamoto Musashi]] and [[Yagyu Jubei]]. Almost always a [[Big Bad]], [[Evil Overlord]] and [[0% Approval Rating]] dictator when he is receiving a [[Historical Villain Upgrade]] in fiction. And a [[Magnificent Bastard]] as well (though this one can be applied in real life too).

* [[Ambition Is Evil]]: Nobunaga is the most ambitious of the unifiers and the most ruthless, which plays a major factor in his villainization. Oddly enough, there were a number of other people in the same time period with the exact same ambition that tend to be portrayed positively. Nobunaga might not have been any more ruthless than them, but he was the one that actually ended up in the position to commit those ruthless acts.
