The third one... This is Nagamaza Azai from Samurai Warriors... I've drawn his wife too you know? I'll post it next...
He was the only successor of the Azai clan, though he has an elder brother (which doesn't have any characteristic which are good to be a leader).
He was arranged married by Nobunaga Oda-Oichi's brother....
But then also killed by the same man, tragic isn't? I really don't like Nobunaga, that's why you won't find a drawing of him from me!
hey it's me again :D, I think you should change your point of view for Nobunaga, Nobunaga did it for some reason, and I think it was nagamasa's fault (not really I think). first thing first, Nagamasa and Nobunaga were tied by alliance marriage, (Oichi-Nagamasa), and so, they became family right (nobunaga - nagamasa)? When Nobunaga decided to unite Japan, he needs to go to KYOTO first, the shogun at that time, Yoshiaki, feared of Nobunaga's existence and decided to stop him and ask Asakura clan(which was in long term alliance with the Azai) to destroy Oda army. At that time, Nobunaga whose tied with Nagamasa, ask Nagamasa to cover his army's rear from Asakura, so he can march on to Kyoto, but Nagamasa betray him, and Join the Asakura to strike Nobunaga from behind, and luckily, Nobunaga was saved by Hideyoshi, and later, felt that he was betrayed by his own family, the only punishment for Nagamasa is seppuku, actually, Nobunaga wanted to forgive Nagamasa, but Nagamasa still resist nobunaga's forgiveness, and later, Oda army + Tokugawa army clashed with Asakura and Azai army at the battle of anegawa river. Asakura met their demise and Azai came back to Odani castle(their base), Nobunaga ask Hideyoshi to met Nagamasa and ask him for join forces once again, but AGAIN Nagamasa decline. Nobunaga felt, there's no other way except besiege Odani castle. And Nagamasa was committed seppuku there, Oichi and her 3 daughters were safely returned to Oda. Thanks to Hideyoshi once again. that's the story though :D
ReplyDelete@K OMG I'm sorry I've just read your comments today >< I haven't been updating my blog for some time now I'M REALLY SORRY~
DeleteO_o really? wow I didn't know that, I thought the Asakura clan were somewhat Nagamasa's close friend and then Nobunaga Oda attacked them so Nagamasa was only trying to protect his friend but then he has to "betray" his own family. hehe my side of story were just based on the game samurai warriors tho, xD the game really make Nobunaga Oda like a villain, still... I feel sorry for Oichi >< Anyways u know sooo much xD I'm so happy lol is there any good book that tells the whole story? I'll be sure to look for it xD
