"I cannot say, I could never understand what he was thinking, as much as I hate to admit it at least we tried to fight back." remarked Katsuie. The Oda clan will surrender." answered Nobuhiro.Īs Motoyasu left, Nobuhiro had turned towards Katsuie "Do you believe my brother would have considered me a fool if he were here?" "It seems there is very little choice in this matter. The only alternative is death, the choice is yours." "Lord Nobuhiro I come with an offer, surrender Kiyosu Castle, and your clan be spared, I have your late Lord's head and would like to at least have him properly buried. The Imagawa had sent a messenger, the Matsudaira commander wanted to meet with Nobuhiro. The Imagawa Army had arrived outside of Kiyosu Castle, and the Matsudaira was at its head. However, it would seem that question would be answered for him. Katsuie would have considered urging Nobuhiro to fight on but felt too discredited to do so. Oda Nobuhiro had stepped in as a regent for the Oda. Shibata Katsuie was one of the few survivors at Okehazama and had returned to an Oda Clan in chaos. Word of Nobunaga's death had spread throughout the Oda.

Expect maps as well, but it's going to be much different from the original as well.įeel free to comment and say what you wish, I hope whoever is reading this enjoys it. I definitely want to put in more realism than the previous version. Any names are going done in their respective styles, so Japanese names would be family name/surname first, personal name last.įootnotes are going to put for cultural notes, references to characters, and some POD effects. Like the original, I'll try not to deviate too much from the established style I'll do my utmost to convey the formal honorifics of Japanese in English, and it's still a narrative TL for better or worse. Well, it's been a while, and I've always wanted to rewrite this. Head taking was a practice of the time where enemies heads would be cut off and presented to their commander for rewards.

On the lighter scale, his referenced earlier love of the Noh play Astumori, reciting that verse before going into battle and the tea ceremony and it's tea instruments. Among one those behaviors were informal almost disrespectful speech, his atheism, which included not believing in spirits or superstitions of any kind. This led to fights within the Oda and after Nobunaga's father died that ultimately saw Nobunaga triumphant. Nobunaga's eccentric behavior didn't win him any favors with several of his retainers and vassals, that Nobunaga was derogatorily known as The Fool of Owari. At this time Nobunaga has 4 sons and one daughter with possible leeway for a second one. Kimyomaru or strange one was the childhood name Nobunaga gave to his first legitimate son who would be known as Oda Nobutada who would die with Nobunaga at Honnoji. Motoyasu had met Nobunaga when Motoyasu was captured as a child and taken hostage by Nobunaga's father Oda Nobuhide, to get the Matsudaira to back the Oda. Yoshimoto himself was skilled at horse archery, While Motoyasu Matsudaira his Vanguard commander who would be OTL Ieyasu Tokugawa, who was an Imagawa vassal at this time. A hatamoto is a daimyo's direct retainer. This coupled with the Miyoshi imploding and Saito growing weak allowed Nobunaga to eventually start uniting Japan Here Nobunaga is not going so lucky, with fatal consequences. This is the Main POD in OTL Nobunaga was able to catch the Imagawa main camp off guard and managed to kill Yoshimoto, which threw the much larger Imagawa forces into confusion causing the downfall of the Imagawa and independence of the Matsudaira. Yoshimoto was said to engage in habits of the aristocracy such as having blacked teeth and shaved eyebrows, and for what it was worth the Imagawa did have the lineage to become Shogun, so taking a bit of liberty I made Yoshimoto a bit arrogant. As Motoyasu returned to his men, the Imagawa forces in camp mostly had returned to celebrating, while Yoshimoto stared at the collection of heads with Nobunaga's among them.
