Oda Nobunaga(1994)

Oda Nobunaga is a historical drama following the legendary warlord's rise to power in 16th-century Japan. Born the second son of a provincial ruler in Owari, Nobunaga inherits his father's ambitions and begins consolidating control over the region with the backing of influential ally Saito Dozo. His ruthless methods and commanding personality prove effective in his quest to unify the fractured province and end the brutal Sengoku period of constant warfare. Yet his dominance breeds dangerous enemies, particularly the resentful Akechi Mitsuhide, whose festering hatred threatens to undermine everything Nobunaga has built. The series captures the political intrigue, military strategy, and personal conflicts that defined one of Japan's most transformative historical figures.
