AHC: Christian United Japan

Have Japan be Christianized before 1600 with a PoD in 1467 or later
Nobunaga Oda receives a divine vision of Jesus during the attack at Honnoji and manages to escape alive by way of his ever loyal bodyguard Yasuke managing to get him out but sustaining multiple wounds in the process.

Managing to escape towards the South where Hideyoshi's army is marching back to fight Mitsuhade Akechi when both men are found by a group of scouts, they are brought back to camp where Yasuke finally dies of his wounds but not before Nobunaga officially grants him the rank Samurai.

Nobunaga spends some time in contemplation as his army gathers for the offensive.

Once again Nobunaga gets another divine vision via a flaming cross in the sky 'with this symbol you shall conquer'

A priest within his army retells the story of Constantine and the flaming cross, Nobunaga is convinced that the Christian god wants him to conquer all of Japan

Oda Nobunaga is your best choice as he was surrounded by Christians and aided heavily by the Portuguese and Spaniards. Had he not been assassinated, he probably would have supported the Nagasaki missions, which was in essence an European colony, and also tighter connections with Europe, ending in the almost complete Christianisation of Japan by 1600 with Nobunaga as ruler of this Christian Japan.

Wouldn’t Monkey make sure that Nobunaga is found mortally wounded?

This time Nobunaga might get himself divine intervention when Hideyoshi tries to stab him only to be struck down by lightning in the shape of a cross

Hideyoshi was said to love his boss, maybe he would have done this but thats only after Nobuhide died and the Oda was basically finished off and he managed to take the top job nearly unopposed, Here Nobunaga is alive, Nobuhide is alive means that the Oda clan is still Japan's boogeyman
Hideyoshi may have restricted christianity but thats only afterwards, mostly he ignored it and let christian priests to bless Christian samurai and Ashigaru during the Japanese invasion of Korea, the real persecution started with Ieyasu Tokugawa
