What if Akechi didn't kill Oda Nobunaga at Honno-ji castle? How would Oda go about finishing unifying Japan (I don't think he was quite finished when he was killed)? How do you think Japan would develop with Oda and the Nobunaga Clan at the helm?

Nobunaga may not have gone to the socially immobilizing lengths Hideyoshi and the Tokugawa went to OTL to ensure a peaceful realm (rigid statuses, tying peasants to the land, making things harder for merchants, etc);in the aftermath of the Sengoku Jidai, it wasn't out of the question for Japan to go through a kind of "capitalist revolution" (precursor to industrial revolution)
But if he manages to survive all that, we could see slightly more open trade with Europe, in contrast to the policies of the Toyotomi and Tokugawa. He might even continue to flood Japan with Jesuits in the early stages, given how dead set he was on clamping down on the power of the monasteries.
They [implemented these particular] laws because it is necessary...
It possible Oda could create different solution to this, but if he want peace, he has to deal with the same problem.
