Oda Nobunaga is the first daimyō, who not only initiated the union of the fragmented feudal Japan, but he also had the real chance to succeed in the union. If only his death had not prevented him from this: according to one version, he performed a seppuku (ritual suicide)during the storm of the Honnō-ji temple by the Mitsuhide army, where he was wounded.
