    Explanation: Oda Nobunaga was a warlord during Japan’s Sengoku Jidai of the 16th century AD whose conduct evokes divided opinions even today.

    A far-sighted reformer who believed in merit over nobility? A brilliant, calculating strategist and thinker with a wide range of interests and expertises? A ruthless murderer whose ambition admitted no hint of scruples or morality? An impulsive and emotion-driven man without consistency? All of the above?

    One thing’s for certain - setting fire to a monastery is fucking metal.

    … and that he had a talent for rubbing allies the wrong way with his antics.
