Kinda thinking about how i wish that there had a more or less accurate portrayal of Mitsuhide on media. Like,being honest i haven't seen many sympathetic portrayals of Mitsuhide or at least minimally accurate portrayals of him.

Tbf;it isn't as if i am all that familiar with Sengoku period media other than a few games,mangás and a few series but i have noticed that most Mitsuhide portrayals usually put him as a "scheming bastard" or as the "smug snake" character.

I understand that Oda being a sympathetic anti-hero is a very popular take and portrayal for media. But i just kinda wish there had a more sympathetic piece of media centered on Mitsuhide. I suppose it must have been due to the fact that victors(or people with the most impact) write history :/ still it greatly upsets me.

Oh well i suppose this is just me complaining over something silly that only i care about

🌸 HISTORICAL NOTES - Akechi Mitsuhide(1528-1582)

As a disclaimer we do not know a lot about him and there is a lot of uncertainty when it comes to him,with that out of the way,i hope you enjoy my post.

He is said to have had been born in 1528(second the Akechi Gunki) and his parents are believed to be Akechi Mitsutsuna and a daughter of the Wakasa branch of the Takeda clan. His father died on the year 1538,leaving Mitsuhide under the guardianship of his uncle,Akechi Mitsuyasu.

In 1556; Saitō Yoshitatsu led a rebellion against his father and Mitsuhide's uncle,Saitō Dōsan. Mitsuhide supported Dōsan,however Dōsan lost and it led to Akechi Castle being attacked by Yoshitatsu. There are theories that say that Mitsuhide served Asakura Yoshikage for some time but i'm not so sure on how accurate those claims are.

Due to the Eiroku incident,that led to the murder of the shōgun Ashikaga Yoshiteru,his brother Ashikaga Yoshiaki fled to Wakasa province and got in contact with many powerful daimyō for support and particularly,Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga's invasion of Minō province caused Yoshiaki to lose his trust on him and for him to enter in contact with Asakura Yoshikage and led to him pleading with Yoshikage for him to march on the capital and get him proclaimed shōgun and this in turn led to Yoshiaki and Mitsuhide to get in contact. Mitsuhide was said to have persuaded Yoshiaki to not rely on Yoshikage and to instead search for Oda Nobunaga's support after Yoshiaki's pleas for Yoshikage to march upon Kyoto went ignored. Due to Sagiyama-Dono(Nōhime or Saitō Kichō/Kochō,Saitō Dōsan’s daughter and Mitsuhide’s cousin on her maternal side) being Oda Nobunaga’s legal wife,it was easy for him to get into contact with Nobunaga.

With the agreement between Yoshiaki and Nobunaga settled,Mitsuhide joined service under the Oda clan. He joined the march to Kyoto and in 1569,defended Yoshiaki from a attack. At a point,started to work with Hashiba Hideyoshi,Niwa Nagahide and Nagakawa Shigemasa to serve as magistrates on Kyoto.

He split from Yoshiaki on 1573,and continued to serve Oda Nobunaga throught his campaigns. Now I’m sorry but doing research on everything he did is kinda overwhelming but just keep in mind he was a great player among the Oda forces and served in many of Oda’s battles and campaigns.

In 1581,Mitsuhide became extremely depressed after the death of his younger sister,Tsumaki(who was said to have been one of Oda’s consorts). This was said to have had contributed to Mitsuhide’s betrayal of Oda the following year.

In 1582,after receiving orders from Oda to support Hashiba Hideyoshi during his campaign against the Mōri,he informed his senior retainers of his intention to betray Nobunaga.

The following month after this,Mitsuhide launched a attack on Honnō-ji Temple that caused Nobunaga’s death by Seppuku and Oda Nobutada,Nobunaga’s oldest son and heir,was surrounded at Nijō castle by the Akechi clan’s forces and died there. Hideyoshi,unlike Mitsuhide’s prediction,quickly signed a peace treaty with the Mōri and rushed to fill the power vacuum. Mitsuhide struggled to keep the support of his troops and his forces of 13,000 soldiers dwindled to 10,000.

Hideyoshi,who had joint forces with both Niwa Nagahide and Ikeda Tsuneoki,was quick to attack him at the battle of Yamazaki with his forces of 20,000 soldiers. It is unknown how Mitsuhide died,but he was said to have had died at the hands of a bandit who attacked him while he fled after his loss at the battle in July 2 of 1582.

Hello! I go by Achilles,my pronouns are he/him(i also don't mind she/her),i'm a Sengoku nerd and well,,,know far more than i should about this period than i should tbh!

Some posts might be me rambling about my researches and things i find out ^^' I'm not an historian by any means and i might make mistakes during my rambles but i will try my hardest to be accurate on my posts about my researches.

I'm sorry if my grammar,spelling or anything really is bad,english isn't my native language. I try my best though.

As a warning,i will definitely end up talking about certain sensitive topics(ex: war,violence,child death,murder,violence against children(murder,etc),kidnapping,religious persecution and warfare) due to the fact it is nearly impossible to give an accurate view of this time period and talk about it without touching on these topics,if you are sensitive to those topics,i ask of you to please leave this blog and not research about this topic for your own mental health.
