VS

Chatrapati Shivaji:The Marathan ruler,who became Mughal Empire's worst nightmare.

Who...is...Deadliest?!?

First,Oda Nobunaga  was the initiator of the unification of Japan under the rule of the shogun in the late 16th century, a rule that ended only with the opening of Japan to the Western world in 1868. He was also a major daimyo during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. His opus was continued, completed and finalized by his successors Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu. He was the second son of Oda Nobuhide, a deputy shugo (military governor) with land holdings in Owari Province. Nobunaga lived a life of continuous military conquest, eventually conquering a third of Japanese daimyo before his death in 1582. His successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a loyal Oda supporter, would eventually become the first man to conquer all of Japan and the first ruler of all Japan since the Ōnin War.

Nobunaga united Japan with:

Now,Chatrapati Shivaji  was a Maratha sovereign/Rajput who founded the Maratha Empire, which, at its peak, covered much of the Indian subcontinent, encompassing a territory of over 2.8 million km².Shivaji as an aristocrat of the Bhosle clan led a resistance to free the Maratha people from the Sultanate of Bijapur and the Mughal Empire and established a   Hindavi Swarajya   ("self-rule of Hindu people"). He created an independent Maratha kingdom with Raigad as its capital. He was crowned as   Chhatrapati ("sovereign") of the Maratha empire in 1674.

He established a competent and progressive civil rule with the help of a well-regulated and disciplined military and well-structured administrative organizations. He also innovated rules of military engagement, pioneering the "Shiva sutra" or ganimi kava (guerrilla tactics), which leveraged strategic factors like geography, speed, surprise and focused pinpoint attacks to defeat his larger and more powerful enemies From a small contingent of 2,000 soldiers inherited from his father, he created a formidable force of 100,000 soldiers. He built and restored forts located strategically inland and on seashores for secure lands and coastline.He revived ancient Hindu political tradition & court conventions, and promoted Marathi and Sanskrit in court and administration usage. He is well known for his strong religious and warrior code of ethics and exemplary character. He was recognized as a great national hero during the Indian Independence movement.

Shivaji created his empire with: My Edges:

Short:Edge Even:Both are sharp swords and both are mainly slashing weapons,yeah the talwar is lighter and is longer and will get probably more kills then the katana.

Mid:Edge Shivaji:Yeah the pata is shorter,but Shivaji is master of this weapon,also it's easier to use rather then the long flimsy yari.

Long(Bows):Edge Shivaji:I might surprise you,but Shivaji's bow is more powerful and his arrows are armor penetrating rather then yumi's broadhead arrows.

Long(Firearms):Edge Oda Nobunaga:They are basically the same thing,but tanegashima is more powerful and can penetrate Shivaji's armor easier than Indian matchlock to Oda's Do-Maru.

Special:Shivaji:The katar might be shorter but Shivaji dual wields them one of them can block the wakizashi,other can stab Oda to death,also 1 of the katars have 3 blades instead of one.

X-Factors:

Armor:Oda 95,Shivaji 80:Oda's Samurai armor is both lighter and offers more protection than Shivaji's steel plated chainmail,SHivaji's armor will protect him from slashing,but not from stabbing,while Oda's armor can protect him from both.

Logistics:Oda 88,Shivaji 90:Shivaji is rated little higher,because he defeated the larger army of the Mughals,while Nobunaga not really.

Endurance:Oda 86,Shivaji 92:Oda might have an intense samurai training,but Shivaji also had even more intensive training with his rajputs,also Shivaji is from more warmer and harsher climate in Maratha.

Audacity:Oda 93,Shivaji 92:Both are really brave generals,but Oda tried to unite all of Japan,doesn't matter what will take to do it
