    Woulda thought Miyamoto Musashi woulda been a little more famous than Nobunga. Or maybe I'm just thinking about that from a foreigner's point of view, since I didn't know who Nobunga was before I started watching anime, but I knew about Musashi.

    You're probably right about Musashi.

    But i'd say that they're probably pretty close to each other.

    I want to say that Nobunaga is probably more popular in japan than Musashi though, as i'm pretty sure every student there have studied a little about him while Musashi should be just a curious footnote in the history books

    EDIT:
    I'm not even sure whats the status of Musashi on Nasuverse.

    His most recognizable feat is the defeat of Kojiro Sasaki and that didn't happen

    Yamato spirit means that inconsequential things like that don't matter. He'd be an even better swordsman than Sasaki Kojiro Because Reasons even though he basically had to cheat to win their duel.

    More like infamous. Japanese of his age hated his guts for demolishing Buddhist shrines, encouraging proto-Westernization and being Atheist.

    I've always been curious.

    Whats the status of Nobunaga nowadays on Japan schools? Do they treat him as "the villain" or do they went the "Nobunaga was right" route.

    If I use anime/games as the reference, he's probably considered to be evil, I wouldn't know how he's taught in schools though.

    I mean, in the end, he just kinda wanted to conquer the country right? Not sure how that would be told as a noble story....

    Many did. Japanese was clusterfuck at this point and many people wanted unification. Tokugawa who ultimately pulled it off got lauded for it, though Nobunaga did good portion of dismantling the power of daimyos.

    Musashi cheated to win almost everything. That was his mo'

    Didn't keep him from getting the title of sword saint

    Musashi also wanked firearms more than swords in his books.

    Musashi was just pragmatic as fuck.

    He is the type of guy who would bring a gun to a swordfight.
    He used 2 swords because 2 is more than 1.
    In his (ficticional) duel against Kojiro he not only purposely arrived late to annoy Kojiro, he also stood in a way that the sun would shine on Sasaki's eye.

    Yup, real samurais boasted about their archery skills while downplaying their swordmanship since they saw blades as more a stuff of ceremonies.

    @All
    Do you know Koha-Ace of current situation?
    Miss Jarman said viciously: 'You must reallywant your money.'
    'No.' Harvey shook his head wearily. 'It's not that, honey. He wants to be Caneton. And nobody ever beat Caneton. Yet.'
    I said quickly: 'Bring the car through in fifteen minutes. Unless you hear shooting. Then you can decide for yourself.'
    I walked away down the bank to the right, looking for the entrance to the communication trench. I found it and turned in.
    -----
     ミス・ジャーマンが悪意に満ちた声で言った。「お金のためならどんなことでもするのね」
    「ちがう」 ハーヴェイが疲れたように首をふった。「そうじゃあないんだよ。カントンでありたいのさ。敗れ ることを知らないカントンなんだ。今まではね」
     私は口をはさんだ。「十五分たったら車をもってきてくれ。銃声を聞かなければだ。銃声が聞こえたら、自分 で判断しろ」
     私は土手に沿って右へ歩きながら塹壕への入口を探した。見つけて中に入った。
