NOTE: I made some pronunciation screw ups like Oda with a U instead of A...I missed that when editing it and once uploaded its tough as you only have 2 choices...live with it...or delete it. Since it had already gained comments and views it didn't make sense to delete it. Mistakes WILL and Did happen so apologies in advance.
Thanks much! Ive said before your channel is the main inspiration and hope to grow an audience around what I can bring to the crowded table :) On the off chance you see this do you have an email or twitter DM i can ask you a quick channel question at?
a shame this channel kind of just died, I just found it and this is the kind of stuff I love. Breakdowns of battles with unit markers for visualizations is great.
man, i honestly like your range of topics. this is exactly what I'm looking for on youtube. All of this could never be taught to me at university because none of the profs works in / resesrches this area. edit: the battle map is beautiful. how did you make that?
Hi SandRhoman sorry i missed this comment and never got back to you :) I used the online fantasy rpg map making took "Inkarnate". Its great for these types of maps! Thanks for watching!
Just discovered this channel today. Great storytelling! You deserve more subscribers definitely. Would appreciate if you could cite references in the description so we could read more about it too! Good job
This video is being released a bit behind schedule as I have been really pushing my Adobe After Effects/Premiere Pro and Photoshop abilities the last few weeks and hope it shows in the form of continuous improvement! I am aiming to continue to improve these and will be returning to the Dutch East Indies series soon but likely not for a few videos as I have noticed a drop in viewership for that style of episode and the battle ones are doing better in general.
Thanks but right now ive been terrible with consistency so I get it. ONce things calm down here in real life I will get back to a regular release schedule and hopefully the subs come with that!
Please continue the Sengoku Jidai series. I am looking forward to watching the other battles and sieges such as Komaki-Nagakute, Honnoji incident, Kawanakajima, etc.
Thanks Glen, New job started a few weeks ago so content is a bit slow atm but I have a video almost ready and this will get a sequel soon! Thanks for watching!
Great video, but I heard that Baba had made a surprise attacked behind the Oda ashigaru musketeers line by crossing the river in the south and give Katsuyori Takeda extra time to escape, am I right? Please point it out for me.
I had read through several sources but went with the ones cited. It was an older video and some mistakes were made particularly with pronunciation. Thanks for your comment!
Crushing victory in Mikatagahara than capturing Takatenjin made Katsuyori so confident. Overconfidence resulted him and his clans downfall in my opinion.
Not only that but the fact that a powerful Kokujin-shu like Anayama pledged allegiance to Nobunaga through Ieyasu and the fact he was betrayed by his closest vassals such as Oyamada that Shingen assigned to Katsuyori when he was young.
Nice video. Just a heads up. When you say "Takeda" it sounds like you are saying "Takada". "ke" sounds closer to how you would pronounce the letter "k" in English.
Thanks Dustin. Appreciate the feedback. I know it may sound defensive (and to an extent of course it is lol). Pronunciations are a strange beast. I have yet to see a historical video series where one or more names are not mispronounced. Or are pronounced correct but maybe not the way most associate with it. Then there is the question of do you pronounce the name based on the native language of the region...and if you go down that path do you pronounce based on the modern version of the language in the region or its ancient variant. Let's use a Persian name like Darius for all of the above examples...in modern Canadian English you can use (Phoenetically) "Duh" + "RY" + "uhs" or "DARE" + "E" + "us". Some names there are additional differences based on whether its UK/US/Canadian/NZ/SA/AUS english... That same name in modern Persian is Dariamauis...but in Ancient persian its "DAR" + "YEH" + "VOWSH" Japanese similiar but different. My rule is i aim for the following: Generally accepted english translation unless non standard but accepted one is closer to the ancient native language version. Using my above Persian example that is why i went with "DAR" + "E" + "YES" its closest to Ancient Persian. Now aside from ALL of that i will from time to time make mistakes in any of the above. Japanese and especially Chinese names are tougher for me. That is why after the video you are referencing there hasn't been another part. The pronunciation became too big of an issue and one I don't care to repeat until i can get them much more accurate and the time to do exactly that has thus far eluded me! :) So hope that all helps but again appreciate your feedback!
If I were the Takeda’s General I would’ve send my Calvary and infantry and attack the southern part that wasn’t defended by palisades and the matchlock group which in response would also weaken the center and cause more neeeded reinforcement to protect the southern flank. With the center weaken then I can use my calavary and destroys the center and the right flank.
The real battle is fruid if you see some weak spot it may be trap the enemy has set ,and if you move like this the opponant will move like that to counter your move. It not 100% sure win with what if " one perfect move" in history. I see one flaw in Takeda is he guess the rain from the night it wet gunpowder and make the gun useless.
The Battle of Nagashino basically allowed Nobunaga to show off how cunning he is in terms of planning battle strategies. How to neutralize the legendary Takeda Cavalry? Build palisades and spikes? Eager to beat the enemy or at least cut down a significant number of their forces? Let the rifles blast all the men of Takeda and let them fire in an alternate pattern in order for the other gunners to replenish ammunition. It would be a total disaster for Nobunaga and Ieyasu if Uesugi Kenshin make a surprise appearance and bolster the ranks of Takeda Katsuyori and the two former rivals are going to work together to crush the Oda and Tokugawa forces
The staggered rotation was brilliant. Not necessarily a new tactic as many other empires like the Parthians who fired their arrows in similar staggered ranks so famously at Carrhae for example. He did absolutely employ it using a then still relatively new military technology so again brilliant indeed.
Yore History Oda Nobunaga just buried the formidable Takeda Cavalry and somewhere in the afterlife, Takeda Shingen is probably disappointed in the outcome of the battle, blaming Katsuyori for dragging the Takeda name into ruin
Great comment and I should have included some post content on this. However upon his death his son Imagawa Ujizane took over family headship but the clan had already fallen from power. He would be later summoned into the Tokugawa clan as a koke. So the final answer is absorbed into the Tokugawa clan.
Even if it was a mistake to be fighting there, cant help but cheer for shingen. Tiger of north shinano leading 15000 man force to face the two strongest daimyos in japan with 30,000 men is pretty ballsy. Still think he makes a better fight of this if he pulls out of his siege and tries to pick his battlefield. Rather than letting nobunaga set the field. Maybe they catch a weather break and the guns are out. Or they could of tried ambush and harrasing raids with the calvalry once they were in Takeda territory or even just find terrain that would minimize the gunner core. Guess thats what made Shingen who he was, and nobunaga who he was.
@@maximus0928 yeah i realized my mistake after watching again. At least it makes alot more sense that way. Another case of an arrogant son destroying his fathers lifework in an instant.
It kind of feels like the Tokugawa didn't do shit through out history right before the battle of sekigahara they just rose to power because they pretty much piggyback from the success of the oda clan. Just like Hideyoshi Toyotomi would have been a peasant nobody if it wasn't for Nobunaga oda.
Seems unfair, Tokugawa fought at mikatagahara yeah they lost but as a result stopped takeda's march on the capital thus protecting there oda allies, they also played a really important part at angegawa. Tokugawa basically acted like a buffer allowing the oda to deal with central japan and then western japan. Tokugawa opted to bend the knee to Hideyoshi but by all means could have fought and came out on top instead they opted to fall Hideyoshi while gaining some favorable perks that in the long term ended up winning them control. Tokugawa was very patient and in the end was left in postion to take control.
This map is very poor. Why is the Date and Mogami territory so large. Oda never controlled Osaka and the Western territories until 1580. The Asakura clan was destroyed in 1573. The Imagawa clan was destroyed several years before Nagashino by the Takeda clan. What sources did you use for the map as they are very inaccurate.
It was an older video and maps i used at time were from books but i forgot to update portions during edit as video progressed. My pronunciations were also not on point. In my later videos i pride myself on map accuracy and pronunciations so this video bothers me but views picked up a lot so ive kept it up as my reminder to edit edit and then edit more :)
Epyx911 should do vr game play on your other channel if a AAA game comes out you'll get the views quick if you can post fast enough.. miss your vr news though
Hiya pLayC, thanks but just not interested in doing anything beyond a weekly news show but appreciate the support. I am really enjoying this and learning more about the editing side...its rough yes but getting better each episode and that is a lot of fun for me! The goals here are different for me, views will come but again appreciate the feedback! :)
Yore History no problem..I understand. I find myself spending more time trying to find a game that not many people play and spend more time editing than playing the game.. recently i been talking some time to actually play vr.. but If you feel like taking a break and playing some vr message me and will play some pavlov. Cheers
Why was Takida on the offensive in the first place....Attacking 38,000 enemies(defensive) with 15,000(offensive) head on and thinking about sieging a castle after that? Logic?
Takeda was supremely overconfident...his cavalry charge had won him countless battles previous to this one. Here he was able to attack with cavalry at full speed almost invisible until the last 200 to 400 meters of their charge...throw favorable weather into that in the form of heavy rain which he felt would cause the guns to fail and you can see the chalice of delusion he was sipping from...he likely felt the chance of NOT steamrolling over the matchlock troops to be so slim it wasn't even worth having a contingency plan for.
Because Nobunaga disguised the size of his forces. Katsuyori did not know how badly outnumbered he was until the dawn of battle. By then his forces were committed to the fight.
Sekigahara-Tokugawa Ieyasu rules Japan as Shogun Kawanakajima-Two rivals, Takeda and Kenshin, clash in an epic battle that is romanticized by many Nagashino- The Demon King Nobunaga unleashes the fury of his new weaponry Okehazama- The rise of the Demon King, Nobunaga
Tedorigawa - The God of War washes away the Army of Demon Kanegasaki - Why marriage alone cannot secure someone's loyalty Inabayama Castle - If you cannot take a fort, build one (in one day) Enryakuji - Genocide before it was a norm Honnoji - How to betrayed your own boss 101 Anegawa - Vengeance tastes bitter Kasai-Osaki Rebellion - Someone just pissed of due to being born too late Sekigahara - "Alright, Fire down Kobayakawa from Mt. Matsuo" Osaka Castle - "Just one more castle, Ieyasu, and we can have peace!"
Juragan Traktor Komake and Nagakute-Hideyoshi clashes with Ieyasu! Mikitagahara- Takeda’s horses trample Ieyasu so bad that the future Shogun crapped on his pants Yamazaki- the Monkey avenges the Demon’s death by slaying the traitor
Was a mistake that I missed in editing...unfortunately no way to fix it once you upload it...so once missed too late :( I speak 3 languages and am pretty strong with names for the most part...but again mistakes happen from time to time as im not perfect. Besides...take your video at the airport. You say "fruntier" instead of "Frontier" it happens to all of us on occasion ;) Cheers!
What did you mean they were able to improve firearms? How did they make them more accurate? How did they make them lighter? Did you want to say that they improved firing mechanism? They never evolved beyond matchlock.
I will check back as time permits. This was one of my first videos and while im happy with aspects of it, I would have done it MUCH differently today. I butchered some names...didn't edit my script as well as I should have and I focused on the battlefield animation aspect. In hindsight I agree with you but again would have to check what my exact words were etc. Thanks either way for watching and the comment!
@@YoreHistory i just wanted to ask because many people are using book "rise of the east" as source of information for this topic. The bookwriter is obsessed with asian culture, you can check his other books, its pretty much glorifying anything eastern. Funniest bit of irony in Rise Of The East is statement that Japan had more guns than whole europe. The writer is lunatic.
I was surprised to hear Europeans introduced Japan to gunpowder considering it had been in China for centuries or did I hear wrong and it was the guns they brought? I know very little about Japanese history so I found this interesting.
@@eardwulf785 Japan was introduced to handgonnes by China. Handgonne was never further developed by Japanese though. Later on Portugal introduced matchlocks, which Japanese did produce without stocks, which made guns few grams lighter, more compact, yet a lot less ergonomic when fired.
How come gunpowder was invented in China and had to go all the way around the world before it got back to Japan? Were there no feisty Chinese fishermen who ruled the Sea of Japan at the end of their fire lances? China is right there. You might even be able to HEAR gunshots in some parts of China from some parts of Japan.
When dealing with historical topics the naming convention is generally to use names that fit the period and are centric to the cultures/countries being dealt with. For example, videos dealing with the Byzantines you wouldn't refer to their capital as Istanbul, you would use Constantinople. Likewise, take the Persian Gulf and many others as examples of this. I find for immersion this works much better than going with 21st century names/correctness. But DO appreciate your feedback Dr_Pureness. Thanks for dropping by!
@@YoreHistory Resently only Korean started call it "east sea" and trying to spred the name of the ocean to the world. because they want to harass Japan for anything for any reason. but histollycally there is no evidence with it. So Korean can name it what they want to but the other worlds don't have to listen.
It actually geography corrected called Sea of Japan. Couldn’t care less about whole disputes nonsense. You can find many East Sea naming around the global.
