Age of Samurai: Battle for Japan

- Season 1

(2021)

Considered a fool and unfit to lead, Nobunaga rises to power as the leader of the Oda clan, spurring dissent among those in his family vying for control.

Nobunaga angers warlords when he captures most of central Japan and ignites a fierce war with Takeda Shingen, a formidable daimyo.

As Nobunaga's ambitions intensify, some generals begin to question his command, leading to a betrayal that alters the political landscape forever.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi ascends to power as the de facto ruler of Japan. Still, Date Masamune, a young daimyo in the north ignores his missives.

With the country unified, Hideyoshi plans to expand his reign to China. Logistical challenges and fierce operation in Korea prove to be costly.

A dying Hideyoshi appoints five regents to govern til his son comes of age, but the power hungry Tokugawa Ieyasu declares war on those who oppose him.
