After playing Fritz route:

...This cant't be happening 😭😭😭😭

Is Oda Nobutaka's death poem historical? If so, why isn't it brought up more often? It seems like a pretty damning condemnation of Hideyoshi for Honnoji.

In the first place you were mistaken: It has absolutely nothing to do with Honnouji. Nobutaka’s death poem was tied to the succession conflict after Honnouji. Despite the Kiyosu Conference concluding with the decision of electing Sanboushi (Nobutada’s son) to become the new clan head, Hideyoshi did things that offended Nobutaka, and war was waged.

The actual poem:

昔より主を討つ身の野間なれば報いを待てや羽柴筑前

mukashi yorishū o utsu mi noNoma narebamukui o mateyaHashiba Chikuzen*

If it must be Nomawhere men killed their lordin ancient days,await your own comeuppance!Hashiba Chikuzen (Hideyoshi)

I’m assuming you were talking about this “lord” in the poem. This referred to the Heian era samurai Minamoto no Yoshitomo, who was betrayed by his vassals and died in Noma. He was buried in the very same temple Nobutaka committed seppuku. So this “lord” reference doesn’t mean Nobunaga, but Nobutaka himself.

Tokugawa vassals’ communication in the following year also had referred to Nobunaga’s sons as Hideyoshi’s “lords”. A letter sent out by Sakakibara Yasumasa condemned Hideyoshi for being ungrateful to his former masters, as he was “not satisfied with killing just one lord” (Nobutaka), but is now also trying to go after the other one (Nobukatsu). 

About whether or not the death poem is REAL, it’s entirely debatable. There’s two different poems recorded, and the second one does not mention Hideyoshi at all.

たらちねの 名をばくださじ 梓弓 いなばの山の 露と消ゆとも

Translation/interpretation for this cannot be found. For what it’s worth, the parts I do understand say this: “Mother’s name [ばくださじ]/Cherry birch bow/The dew of Mount Inaba fades”. 

Both poems are found in Edo era records, and no contemporary copies were ever discovered so far. There’s no way to verify that this is an accurate copy especially if it’s second-hand documentation***. 

Part of the reason for it to be considered “weird” is because the one who ambushed Nobutaka and brought the order of seppuku was his own brother Nobukatsu. Why would Nobutaka be angry at Hideyoshi and not his brother? There’s a bit of difficulty in determining what Nobukatsu’s status here, but at any rate, it can’t be immediately assumed that Nobutaka is upset with Hideyoshi because his brother is for some reason serving Hideyoshi. 

There’s a possibility that while bringing down the order Nobukatsu said bad things about Hideyoshi, but there’s also a bigger chance that the poem itself is recorded wrong or fake.

***) This matters because the Shinchoukouki, considered the most reliable account of Nobunaga, is also technically an Edo-era record (compiled in 1600s). However the author Ota Gyuuichi is an eyewitness, so the text is considered mostly accurate due to being a first hand account. The only problem being that if this was written much later, he might have forgotten the specifics, or got details mixed up

Melvyn Tan Famous NS Defaulter

National Service and Laws in Singapore

Ns sucks . So what if someone leaves sg to evade it ? Why serve an abusive regime like the PAP?

I don’t know about you, but the PAP-dominated Singapore government is grasping at straws here to retain its male citizens while churning out policies that do not make sense while at the same time making the lives of normal Singaporeans unbearable. MINDEF and CMPB have strict rules when it relates to travel visa for its male citizens who are liable for NS. They practically require Exit Permits for almost everything relating to these NS slaves. If you don’t follow their rules, you get punished, with a fine, or jail time. Not only that, Singaporean boys who emigrated when they were young also must come back to serve NS, otherwise they face fines or go to jail also. Makes absolutely no sense especially when these kids already have foreign citizenship. The worst is that these boys are not even allowed to renounce their Singaporean citizenship prior to serving NS. See the case of the New Zealand teen being ordered to come back to Singapore to serve NS.

You know what this means right? Yes, the PAP is forcing these young boys to serve NS first, then renounce citizenship. This is an outright abuse of their power. Even after the age of 40, when these emigrants have already been away from Singapore for more than at least 22 years, these male citizens are still forbidden from renouncing their citizenship until they have come back to Singapore to face the ruling of the courts for Exit Permit violations. Of course, which of these men would want to return to face jail time, when they can enjoy their freedom and clean air in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand? None! And you know what else is funny? Singapore does not even need NS any more; in fact, Singapore can afford to have a professional SAF. NS is pure propaganda to “control and tame” the young men in this country, so that they do not revolt against their PAP overlords after all the brainwashing in primary school, secondary school, JC, and finally NS.

This is the moment Hideyoshi realize...

I want to do this to my enemies (if ever I had one)

Level of gripping in this one hand Sode-tsurikomi-goshi: 99

There are parents who got stuck in the "denial" stage and couldn't face their kids and accept.

I really hate it when parents of autistic kids use phrases like “I know they’re in there.” Bitch they’re right in front of you! You haven’t lost them! They’re not locked away like a final boss in a video game!! This is your child As Is! Love them for who they are not what you wish they would be! Fuck!

Hideyoshi: Are you threatening the fireflies, Ieyasu?

Ieyasu: What I do is my business. And what about you? Feeding your kind as usual, no?

Nobunaga: Gifts from my Wife! (*why did I agree on sending these instead of her though*)

MC: PERFECT! All three of you...SAY CHEESE! (*screenshot*)

What a long way to say "PLEASE SAVE HIM"
