In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the life and legacy of Akechi Mitsuhide, the samurai general who famously betrayed Oda Nobunaga at Honnō-ji in 1582. They discuss Mitsuhide's early career serving the Ashikaga shogunate, his strained relationship with Nobunaga, possible motives for the coup—including personal grievances and political calculations—and the swift downfall of his short-lived regime. The conversation covers key events like the Battle of Yamazaki, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi avenged Nobunaga, and the enduring mystery of Mitsuhide's fate. They also examine how Mitsuhide has been portrayed in Japanese culture, from historical accounts to modern fiction, and what his story reveals about loyalty, ambition, and honor in the Sengoku period. #AkechiMitsuhide #Honnōji #OdaNobunaga #ToyotomiHideyoshi #Sengoku #Japan #Samurai #Betrayal #BattleOfYamazaki #AzuchiMomoyama #History #FexingoHistory #JapaneseHistory #Daimyo #Coup #Loyalty #Warrior #EastAsia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
