Is there any relation between nuclear radiation after WW2 and anime?

No.
Anime is based on the western (specifically Disney) cartoons of the 50's.
It's very interesting to see how it has evolved compared to western animation that has gone a much stylized way.

I could probably pick a more obscure figure but I've always liked Takeda Shingen.

>his clan has my favorite emblem, based on the furinkazan from the art of war
>pretty sure he was the only warlord nobunaga thought was the closest to being a worthy opponent

Him and based Kenshin Uesigi as well.

>In addition, there was an incident when the Hōjō boycotted salt supplies to Kai Province. When Kenshin heard of Shingen's problem he sent salt to the Shingen from his own province. Kenshin commented that the Hōjō had "performed a very mean act". Kenshin added, "I do not fight with salt, but with the sword". [10 [20]His respect for Shingen is evident from when he died Kenshin privately wept and stated, "I have lost my good rival. We won't have a hero like that again!"

Date Masamune was hardcore

>InKōyō Gunkanthere is one of the most famous instances of single combat in samurai history; during this battle, Kenshin managed to ride up to Shingen and slashed at him with his sword. Shingen fended off the blows with his iron war fan ortessen. Kenshin failed to finish Shingen off before a Takeda retainer drove him away. Shingen made a counter-attack and the Uesugi army retreated

Why only Chinese and Japanese? Koreans and Mongols or Viets aren't interesting?

nope

>>2477058
t. white boi who got into East Asian history because of JAV

>>2477049

Mongols are in itself a history topic better left alone.

Viets are pretty boring to be fair. Unless you talking post ww2 significance.

Korea is pretty fucking cool but no one has any interest or knowledge of the two nations unless its post WW2.

>Tsukahara Bokuden (塚原 卜伝?, 1489 – March 6, 1571) was a famous swordsman of the early Sengoku period. He was widely regarded as a kensei (sword saint). He was the founder of a new Kashima style of fencing, and served as an instructor of Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Ise provincial governor daimyō Kitabatake Tomonori.[1]

>saint Tsukahara fought his first duel to the death at the age of 17 and won. Then, he duelled again 19 times and fought in 37 battles. He was wounded 6 times in total, but only by arrows. In total, his death toll seems to have reached 212

to be fair, China and Japan could been their own topic respectively as well

Mongols is a pretty big topic and there's already a topic dedicated to that. Don't know what to discuss about Vietnam other than the Vietnam War.

Who /Zhang Liao/ here?

Other way around

Korea is boring as fuck.
Vietnam is pretty fucking cool because following their independence from China in the 1000s, they started copying their Chinese masters to the t: having an emperor, expanding southwards, ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE TO IMPLEMENT CAO CAO'S TUNTIAN LAND REFORM SYSTEM, repelled Mongols, and fought with Cambos to steal their land.

Then there was that episode of Spain's attempt to conquer Cambodia via sending pet Filipino warriors under the command of Governor Dasmarinas, which Vietnam cockblocked.

Post WWII Vietnamese history is boring as shit because its basically Americans whining about Vietnam War.
