Podcast After Dark, featuring Asai Nero Tran and Dakota Sinks, is now live! This time, we talk about being old, relationships, the great gender/sexuality debate, and even shaving. Give it a listen!

Welcome to part two of our discussion on some of the bad decisions made by the Sengoku Daimyo.  Some Daimyo were skilled strategists, others lucky, staying ahead of the game with wits and cunning.  However, the battlefields of the Sengoku period are littered with the bones of men who were not so lucky.  Many Sengoku Daimyo were done in by dumb decisions, others made decisions that seemed reasonable at the time but would lead to disastrous results.  From Imagawa Yoshimoto's decision to invade Owari province, to Asai Nagamasa deciding to turn on Oda Nobunaga, we look at some decisions that not only shaped the history of the Sengoku period, but may leave you wondering just what the heck they were thinking.
