The Assassination of the Shogun | Sengoku Jidai Episode 20

When Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru attempts to break the Shogunate and Kyoto free from outside influences he will be met with challenges from those who seek to keep him a pawn to their will.

And while central Japan falls into a new state of turmoil, the death of the Amago Daimyo will cause Mori Motonari to march on the Amago powerbase, resulting in the second siege of Gassan Toda.

With Thanksgiving coming up, there may not be a new video next week, but we shall see!
