AmazingAncientWorld For such a strict society, there are still a lot of Japanese doing weird things. Still, Oda was not simply weird, he was also TOO ahead of his time, fought in western style, focused on constructing roads and bridges (typical rulers would build temples instead), banned monopolies, opened up markets and protected freedom of religion. Attacking Christians were absolutely illegals and vice versa, Christian missionaries cannot insult Japan culture such as Kabuki cross dressing and samurai gayness. Yes, no joke, samurais actually regarded that it's super manly for a person to have romances with another man, Oda himself had a boyfriend ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mori_Ranmaru ), and wore Western clothes to impress him.
