It's arguable that Hideyoshi didn't have a ton of
good alternative choices to the whole "try to invade China via Korea" thing. He was a warlord and a commoner with fragile legitimacy sitting on top of what was effectively a war economy. If he didn't get all these crazy rear end samurai a project things might have fallen apart.

Unfortunately, a lot of Japanese media that depicts the Sengoku period just kind of skips from Hideyoshi finishing unification to Hideyoshi being dead.

Absolutely true though in this case I think it's more like Roboky alluded to with not wanting to bring up a time Japan invaded Korea due to recent history. It's not mentioned so hard that you get games going from Honnoji to Sekigahara and it's like Who are all these people!?

All I could think during that last Ashikaga fight was "STOP STOP HE'S ALREADY DEAD"
