0:49in 1568 horrible Naga did what had not
0:54been done in roughly 230 years he had
0:58conquered the capital and essentially
1:00established a new regime under the ruse
1:03his aim was to restore power to the
1:06ashikaga shogunate he had taken up the
1:08cause of Oishi kaga yoshiji aki using
1:12his military might he cut a bloody path
1:14to Kyoto and made Yoshiaki his new
1:17puppet Shogun now his real aim laid
1:21before him with the power of the
1:23Shogunate in his control and the
1:25strength of his own clan and his allies
1:27at his back
1:28Nobunaga was set out to unify the land
1:31ending the chaos of the single Kochi die
1:33and restoring peace to the nation of
1:36course his first steps towards
1:38unification would be to secure central
1:41Japan the kinky region the only clan
1:44that had physically stood in his way on
1:46his march to the capital was the rokkaku
1:49clan who had since been crushed and
1:51subject to isolation in southern oh me
1:54below them by 1569 the Keita potaka clan
1:58of Issei province would also fall to the
2:01influence of the oda however not all
2:03clans decided to stand against the oda
2:05as when Nobunaga took the capital the
2:08Sousou a clan of yamato province in fear
2:11of the oda decided to abandon their
2:13Miyoshi allies and pledged their loyalty
2:15to Nobunaga
2:17in addition within yamato province we
2:20can also see that Matsunaga he's ahead a
2:22strategically pledged his allegiance to
2:24the oda as well if we remember back to
2:27episode 20 he's ajita had been a
2:30retainer of the Miyoshi who had
2:32eventually split off with them to foster
2:34his own power he would go on to be
2:37instrumental in the assassination of a
2:39shikaka Yoshi Teru in 1565 the only
2:43other large clan that opposed
2:45Nobunaga in the central region was the
2:48Miyoshi when Nobunaga had entered Kyoto
2:51his forces had easily swept all Miyoshi
2:53influence out yet a larger conflict at
2:56arose
2:57to the West in Setsu province Nobunaga
3:00zero commander shibata katsuie had
3:03engaged a larger Miyoshi force holding
3:06them off and allowing the oda
3:07to firmly secure the capital and the
3:09surrounding area without interference
3:12and although hostilities remained
3:14between the oda and Miyoshi the last
3:16threat to Oda rule was none other than
3:19the radical eco iki warrior monks who
3:21controlled various temples throughout
3:23the kinky region and were largely based
3:26at the impenetrable temple fortress of
3:28Yama hongan-ji conflict between the oda
3:32and the ego EG had become intense thus
3:35much effort was put forth by Nobunaga to
3:37eradicate them and their power bases yet
3:41besides the conflicts which raged across
3:43central Japan things in the capital were
3:46somewhat peaceful under Nobunaga's iron
3:49grip he worked to establish a new regime
3:52that would ensure stability and stand
3:54strong in the face of all who stood
3:57against him of course his presence
4:00completely undermined the power of the
4:02new Shogun Yoshiaki who was supposed to
4:05be really the man in charge
4:06unfortunately Yoshiaki had quickly
4:09realized that he had made the wrong
4:11choice when choosing a champion to carry
4:13him to the capital as now it was obvious
4:16he was simply meant to be a puppet of
4:18the oda nobunaga had skillfully kept his
4:21status in an odd form of limbo in aims
4:24to keep the power he held over the
4:26Shogunate and Kyoto making sure that no
4:29one truly knew where he lay in the
4:31hierarchy of the capital Yoshiaki in
4:33attempts to formally lower the position
4:35of Nobunaga had offered him at the
4:37position of conray the Shogun old deputy
4:40a role beneath the Shogun an offer which
4:44Nobunaga soundly refused even the
4:46Emperor tried to force Nobunaga and two
4:49becoming the new cadre yet still he
4:52remained free of such titles and status
4:54he understood that to accept such a role
4:57would make him no different than all the
4:59others who had dominated the Shogunate
5:01and Kyoto before him and his ambition
5:04was far above theirs in early 1570
5:08Nobunaga wished to solidify who his
5:10allies and and
5:11his were he pressured Yoshiaki into
5:14requesting that all da mio in the
5:16central region come to Kyoto in an act
5:18of faith towards the Shogun and the new
5:20regime any who did not attend would be
5:23seen as rivals to the oda surprisingly
5:26dhaumya a Sakura Yoshi cognate of HSN
5:30refused the call if we remember from the
5:33previous episode a Sakura shikakai had
5:36been a Chicago Yoshi Aki's champion and
5:38host for some time before Yoshiaki had
5:41eventually lost faith in him and left to
5:43join the oda yet now as Yoshiaki had
5:46realized his true role was to be that of
5:49Nobunaga spawn
5:50he may have secretly kept up
5:52correspondence with Yoshi kaga in aims
5:54that he may come to liberate the capital
5:56and push out the oda nobunaga had
5:59definitely been feeling the rise in
6:01tension between him and Yoshiaki and
6:03thus began suspecting that Yoshiaki was
6:06conspiring with other clans this refusal
6:08by ashikaga to come to Kyoto brought to
6:11light his suspicions and was all the
6:13justification Nobunaga needed to declare
6:15the a Sakura an enemy of the state in
6:18the spring of 1570 Nobunaga set out for
6:21each season at the head of a Grand Army
6:23in aims to conquer the province the Oda
6:26would of course call for the aid of the
6:28loyal Tokugawa Ieyasu who marched with
6:31an army of his own towards the Echizen
6:33border
6:33the only clan who stood between Nobunaga
6:36forces and the a Sakura where the si who
6:39if we remember back from episode 21 had
6:42become allies with the oda due to the
6:45marriage between as ienaga masa and Ora
6:47Nobunaga sister Buchi Nobunaga probably
6:51figured that due to their alliance the
6:53as I would likely allow the oda and
6:56Tokugawa forces free passage through
6:58their territory and at first it appeared
7:01as such as the armies began making their
7:03way through upper o me province however
7:06there must have been a deep internal
7:08conflict brewing within Azai Nagamasa as
7:10his clan had been longtime allies with
7:13the Sakura this new alliance he had made
7:16with the oda definitely served a purpose
7:18yet whichever side he took he would be
7:21dishonorably betraying an ally
7:23thus feeling bound to the clan he had
7:26been allied to much longer
7:28Naga masa eventually came to the hard
7:30decision to side with the UH Sakura
7:32against Nobunaga this came just as oda
7:35forces were pushing into HSN when
7:38suddenly the as i began striking out at
7:40their rear Nobunaga was now surrounded
7:44by enemies luckily for him with the
7:46Tokugawa army at his back
7:48Nobunaga forces were able to fend off
7:50the as I glanced affection and pull out
7:53to make a full retreat without losing
7:55massive casualties however now knowing
7:57that both the SI and a Sakura stood
8:00against him Nobunaga began preparations
8:02to wipe them both out his initial target
8:06would be none other than the SI power
8:08base of o'donneii castle by mid-summer
8:11Nobunaga and EA osten set out again this
8:14time in aims to clear out the
8:16treacherous as a clan first wary of
8:19another attack from the rear Nobunaga
8:21positioned shibata katsuie at the head
8:23of a small but elite garrison at choco G
8:26in Umi province this extra step of
8:29preparation completely paid off as the
8:31rokkaku clan were attempted to seize the
8:33opportunity of Nobunaga absence to
8:36retake lost territory as a rokkaku army
8:39numbering around 4,000 were marched to
8:41lay siege to choke og and although he
8:44was severely outnumbered katsu EA's
8:46small garrison held firm continuously
8:49harassing the attackers by launching the
8:51night raids against rokkaku positions
8:53and eventually dealing so much damage to
8:56the attackers better ikkaku were finally
8:58forced to abandon the siege afterwards
9:02their reduced numbers would eventually
9:04allow the oda to force the rokkaku into
9:07submission back on the war front as
9:10Nobunaga carved a bloody path to ohmy
9:12Naga masa had quickly called the asakura
9:15clan for aid to which a Sakura Yoshi
9:18kaga sent out an army under the command
9:20of
9:21Sakura cog otaku this combined as I a
9:23Sakura army which numbered roughly
9:25around 18,000 immediately moved to meet
9:28the Oda who were in July laying siege to
9:31the SI stronghold of Yokoyama the oda
9:34Tokugawa army who numbered around 28,000
9:37strong quickly turned to face the si
9:40Sakura forces who were amassing to the
9:42north of the on a river however as soon
9:45as Nobunaga drew up to face them the
9:47isaiah sakura forces pulled back upon
9:50seeing his enemies withdrawn
9:52Nobunaga ordered the siege of Yokoyama
9:54to resume yet on the night of July 29th
9:57the Isaiah Sakura
9:59army reappeared and were now heading
10:01towards the oda encampment fortunately
10:03for Nobunaga his Scouts were able to
10:05detect the movements of the isaiah
10:07sakura forces thus Nobunaga once again
10:10quickly redeployed his forces on the
10:12left side he sent the Tokugawa army
10:14under the command of EA azu who was
10:16being aided by one of his finest
10:18commanders Honda Tara katsu while the
10:20oda took to the right side with Nobunaga
10:23holding firm alongside a notable figures
10:25such as Maya coach EA d WA Naga he day
10:28and hashiba Hideyoshi once battle was
10:32joined on the morning of the 30th it
10:33became clear that the ax Sakura portion
10:35of the army had taken the left side and
10:37the as I had taken the right thus it was
10:40the Tokugawa who were to deal with the
10:42Sakura while Nobunaga had to contend
10:44with Nagamasa immediately naka mosses
10:48charged at the wound Ava's line hard and
10:50fast and a brutal struggle erupted as
10:52the Sun began to rise
10:53although Nobunaga held the advantage of
10:56being on the defensive the
10:57aggressiveness of the isaiah attack
10:59began pushing the oda forces back so
11:02much so that no who now that became
11:04concerned that he may need to order a
11:06retreat yet things were going the
11:08opposite for the Tokugawa as the Sakura
11:10hadn't put up nearly as hard a fight on
11:13the left as Ieyasu began to control the
11:15situation on his side of the battlefield
11:17he began sending extra troops over to a
11:20before
11:20a line crashing into the flank of the
11:23Azai with the addition of the Tokugawa
11:25soldiers the wound Agha was finally able
11:28to hold his ground and as soon as the
11:30isaku de army began to break and rout
11:33the Hamas I realized all hope was fading
11:36and ordered his forces to retreat
11:38Nobunaga had won the battle of Onagawa
11:42yet his forces were severely diminished
11:44so much so that he would not be able to
11:47sustain any further push against the SI
11:50power base at o'donneii although the war
11:52resumed between the oda and the azide
11:55Asakura coalition Nobunaga would be
11:57forced to turn his attention elsewhere
11:59as it was now apparent that he was
12:02becoming increasingly surrounded by
12:04enemies several months later Nagamasa
12:06would avenge his defeat at Onagawa by
12:09crushing an Oda army at Osama castle
12:12leoch soon and killing one of Nobunaga's
12:14brothers Bora Alou Haru however the war
12:18was far from over
12:19and soon the Wu Naga would be able to
12:21strike out against the SI and a Sakura
12:24once again in Ames can finally finish
12:27them off so what can we learn
12:31after taking the capital in 1568
12:34Nobunaga said about seizing the central
12:37region while at the same time dominating
12:40Kyoto politics this of course angered
12:42shogun ashikaga you'll see aki who
12:44quickly came to realize he was simply
12:46meant to be double Nagas puppet
12:48eventually Nobunaga began to suspect
12:51that Yoshiaki was secretly in contact
12:54with the asakura clan and called forth
12:56all loyal daimyo to Kyoto in a great
12:58show of faith when the a Sakura refused
13:01to show
13:02Nobunaga now had the justification he
13:04needed to attack by 1570 he quickly set
13:08out to crush the ax Sakura being aided
13:10by his Tokugawa allies yet
13:12Isaiah Nagamasa would betray him and
13:15force a retreat months later
13:17Nobunaga would try again this time
13:19working towards the as eye power base of
13:22o'donneii Castle in retaliation against
13:24the oda
13:25the SI and a Sakura marched against
13:27Nobunaga and their armies would meet at
13:30Battle of Onagawa Varun Agha would
13:32nearly be defeated yet thanks to
13:34Tokugawa Ieyasu he was able to endure
13:36and the aza Asakura forces would be
13:39forced to retreat the war between the
13:41two factions would continue to rage as
13:43Naboo Nagas attention would be called
13:45away the ODA were now surrounded by
13:47enemies yet they were still strong in
13:50the face of such opposition in the next
13:54episode tensions continued to rise as
13:56Nobunaga is made to deal with his
