Oda Nobunaga (Japanese: 織田 信長; 1534 – 1582) was a powerful daimyō in Japan during the late 16th century who initiated the unification of Japan near the end of the Sengoku period.
Biography[]
When the Assassins made contact with Oda, he was sympathetic to their cause and promised an alliance once he had unified his country. However, after he came into possession of a Sword of Eden, the possibility of an alliance was compromised.[1]
He was subsequently killed by the Assassin Yamauchi Taka on 21 June 1582,[1] when Nobunaga was betrayed and attacked by his vassal Akechi Mitsuhide at Honnō-ji in Kyoto.[2] Taka retrieved the Sword and brought it to Liu Yan, who transported it to China.[1]
After Oda's death, his vassal Toyotomi Hideyoshi took over the mantle of conquering the land.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Despite the Assassins' role in Nobunaga's death being depicted in Memories, the promotional website Who's In Your Blood? for the Assassin's Creed film does not acknowledge these events.
