I heard once that in the 1600s Japan was the number 1 fire arms manufacturer in the world. Arquebuses played important roles in Japanese warfare. What if Japan hand't turned back the clock and decided to keep producing firearms and even continued adopting advances in European firearms technology to the point that it had the same effect on the mounted Samurai as it did on the mounted knights in Europe, by gradually rendering them obsolete? How wouldgun powder warfare affect Japanese infantry formations in later centuries?
