Badd Medicine here and its reaction time
Shōgun follows the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds, John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.

Fyi unless I missed yall saying this...that was the army's camp that got completely wiped out by the landslide. So way more impactful cause Toronago just lost all his men! That's very crucial moving forward knowing that he now has no full army with him
guys did you watch spartacus ?
at least add Spartacus TV show in Vote to see if people will vote for it
Fuji is seriously adorable.
Ikr can’t believe a lot of people aren’t acknowledging her more. Her whole character is awesome even with a little bit of screen time
She's effortless at being adorable too
@@jmortiz477 She's actually pretty badass.
Mariko is basically saying that "freedom" ironically does not make a person free. It's purpose (and community), that makes a person truly free. And as you will see, Mariko has plenty of purpose.
to add: blackthorne finally finds the freedom to be free of himself at the end of episode 10
It is multilayered and that is what makes the writing so great. Part of it is what you stated, and also the Buddhist concept of no-self: one must become free of the self which is illusionary. Related to this, If one is constantly seeking freedom the person is like a prisoner who seeks to escape their jail cell only to be returned to their captivity. If one is free, one does not keep talking about their freedom.
That's my favourite theme in this show. A man must abandon his freedom to become truly free. So poetic... And so authentic too!
that's the point, absolute freedom is just being slave of your own desires.
@@Andrei2patrUspoiler dude
Lady Ochiba is the queen regent because she's the hier mother. Ishido still runs things but she can overrule him
Mariko meant John is a slave of his own desire, his desire to chase freedom. So he is not truly free.
At least that is what I think that scene meant.
Exactly my thoughts
exactly, because john mentioned he did not even see the birth of his daughter because the vastness of the sea beaconed. he left his responsibilities to his family to volunteer. Yes john is a slave of his desires.
Just like Kenny said, everyone are slaves to something. Money, woman, power, throne, God.
@@trimeresuruspurpureomaculatus I don't know who Kenny is but that's Askeladd's line first.
@@anxietyinducing6601 Kenny from AoT. Maybe you're right about Askeladd, but i watched AoT first, then Vinland Saga. So Kenny is the first character that came to my mind.
What Blackthorne was doing with the pheasant was a medieval method of tenderizing (and enhancing flavor) of game birds... primarily in England and northern France. I dont know if Japan shared the same temperatures and humidity...though i highly doubt it... but one only knows what one knows.
And in England, at that time, you tenderize game birds by hanging them in the environment (feathers and entrails intact) and checking them daily to see if the tail feathers remove at a slight tug... typically 4 to 10 days depending on weather. At that point theyre reasy to pluck and roast.
I also read an article by a culinary historian who consulted several cookbooks from the 15th and 17th centuries and tried this method in her garage with American woodcocks with mixed success (one of rhem had buckshot in its intestines which spoiled the meat, the other turned out as expected).
Because the culinary culture and weather/environment is much different in Japan, this probably never would have worked... the bird rotted as Fuji predicted rather than reaching a proper aging.
idk if that really was his intention. I think he just wanted to test them and see how far he can go, before they break their own rules. Thats why he was glad to hear, that someone took it down.
believe i saw some comment a little while back about Japan started to do something similar not to far from the time setting of the story.
@@SovermanandVioboy Yeah also got that impression, he returns saying that he held up to the end of the bargain but all he got in return was a dead bird, so he punishes everyone by leaving the so precious gift to rot. But Im confused on what did he actually put on the stew he offered Buntaro and Mariko.
Also, Japanese were not into eating meat that much. Their diet consisted mainly of fish and veggies. That might account for the reticence regarding his rabbit stew he offered his guests. Japan is also more humid than Europe so, that might have affected the rate of decomposition. The decomposing bird started to stink and the neighbors were seeing it as a problem. In Japanese living that is taken very seriously since it affects the harmony of the group. What it shows is that words are not frivolous and should be taken as seriousLu as actions. It’s a cultural difference that exists even now.
Pheasant is very dry and rotting it induces moisture and flavor it wouldn’t otherwise have. In France, Belgium this is till done but by people of the older generation
@@SovermanandVioboy What to test about ? He was just happy to be doing that again, like when he was a child. As you would be, wanting to share something with another culture. This show made us think too much, but the only one that did deceived us and all the characters was Toranaga. John was just an ant caught in a storm he never sensed
To be clear: Toranaga didnt say find me a NEW spy.... but rather he was telling his spy to shift the suspicion onto someone else (because Omi was looking for the spy)...and it was just convenient that Ueijro was executed.... otherwise the spy would have had to basically sentence some innocent to death to maintain the secret.
Even in death Uejiro was fulfilling a purpose.
Yes, in Japan, women were property, but the same was true of England and America. Hell, in the US, women weren't allowed to open a bank account in their own name until the 1960s and weren't allowed to have a credit card without their husband or father cosigning until 1978. I remember this personally with my own mother.
Although "wife beating" was illegal nationwide by 1920 (the same year US women gained the right to vote), the criminal justice system didn't start treating domestic violence as a crime in practice, instead of a private family matter, until the 1970s. It was considered appropriate for a man to "discipline" his wife in whatever way he saw fit. The change was entirely due to feminist activism raising awareness and legal challenges. Of course, violence against women is still a major problem. For example, the number one cause of death among pregnant women remains murder by the father or an agent of the father.
Yesss I was thinking exactly this, machismo is a problem that almost every culture has (at least the cultures we see here), so yes it's problematic for the character (John) just because he's not used to treat women like that, not because was something rare in England at that time
Its a shame we judge other cultures based on our own conditioning and societal lens.
In defense of Buntaro's character. I don't think that beating his wife was a typical thing he was doing. He did so that night, which is wrong even if it was legal, and I think that part of what we could conclude from that whole deal is hes in control of his actions even when drunk (As we see he has no problem with the bow) but couldn't control his emotions, after drinking so much anyway. And he regretted letting himself lose control of his actions and fall into that emotional state.
Again, not defending what he did. But dude does have a lot of emotional internal stuff that should understandably mess him up.
if the book adds more to this, and I'm sure it does, I have not read it so this is only an interpretation based on what we see in the show.
@@golden--hand Beating her wasn't unusual according the book. He wasn't good at anger management and Mariko was always so cold to him, and he wanted her so much - loved her, really - that he became frustrated, disappointed, and angry. But Buntaro and all the characters are complex, especially in the book; they have good sides and bad sides. Part of what makes it such a good book. Toranaga ordered Buntero to perform the tea ceremony for Mariko, as a healing between them. You shouldn't bring bad feelings into a tea ceremony. The host - Buntero - must clean the entire house and grounds and select the perfect decor and tea set, prepare the tea, perform the pour, etc. Buntero selected the perfect bud from the garden to convey the season and emotion of the occasion. Mariko was moved to a tear by how perfectly he did. They didn't argue, as they did in the series; they parted amicably for the evening.
@@aleatharhea Great context.
Having seen this show a few time through by now. I have come to appreciate the fact that Buntaro is kind of portrayed as the "obvious bad guy' but that's only because the harm he did was so obvious and non-negotiable with modern eyes, while the harm Mariko did was not and seemed justified from what we are shown. In reality they were both pretty toxic for each other and I guess the only thing keeping them together at that point was the fact she was Catholic and could not really divorce in those days. At least that was my generally interpreted speculation based on what we are shown in the series.
Lady Ochiba is the queen consort. Shes not the queen herself. She’s the mother of the heir and yes she has the power. The next episode will explain more of her backstory.
That was also western culture until the last century or so.. Your wife was your property, even John said it, and it was not illegal to beat your wife in western culture either.
When we have rapists caught red-handed and let off lightly, we can hardly say the US has any kind of cultural moral high ground of how to treat women. It wasn't even all that long ago that women couldn't vote or own checking accounts.
Women couldn't get their own credit cards without their husband's permission up until 1974!! No lie!😮
@@denisesf5 I know. Insane that.
She’s the heir’s mother and basically Queen Regent. So she flexing on them
this reaction made me rly wish the dinner scene had ended w a drunk john and buntaro getting along great and singing songs together
This show is superb, so good! Great reaction guys!
Mariko didn't want John to get Buntero drunk because she knew he would beat her. In the book, John didn't see Mariko immediately after the beating. She was so badly beaten that it took her weeks to recover. She refused to let him see her for that whole time, fearing that he would come after Buntero in a rage. Buntero apologized to John because it was gravely impolite to destroy the harmony of your host's home, not, it should be emphasized, for the harm he did to his wife.
You mentioned the fight John had with his men. In the book, there was a surprised and joyful reunion and a night of celebration. It only turned sour at the end, and even then, not on the part of all the men. It's been 48 years since I read the book, so I can't be very specific, but I think only one, two, or three men got belligerent with John. When John got home, he had a bath and had his clothes burned because they were full of fleas.
The gardener was terminally ill, so it made sense for him to bury the pheasant. It was a serious infraction to bring disharmony to your neighbors, and the pheasant was foul smelling, brought flies, and they feared disease. So it was a very serious matter for the whole community. The gardener became a hero for his action, and Toranaga himself lent his very sharp sword for the beheading. This was a great honor and a very noble death, not some random criminal's death.
In the original series and book Mariko tells Anjin that her husband beats her because she has refused to ever sleep with him again without a fight. She *wants* him to be angry and miserable all the time, it's the only way she can punish him for not letting her commit seppuku. She has no right to refuse sex with her husband, but she can make it terrible for both of them. They're both trapped in a miserable marriage that neither can escape.
Yeah, I'd gotten the impression from the actor's performance that Buntaro wasn't an inherent asshole but a broken and unhappy man. The look on his face as he leaves John's house is actually haunting. You can tell he doesn't even know himself anymore.
She is the mother / queen regent of the taikos hier 🤙🏼💯
Dinner scene was incredible! Hope the move from a Ltd Series to 2 more seasons works out 🤞 Can see the show blowing up even more after winning ALL THE EMMYS like The Bear & Beef!
Lady Mariko's father's historical comparison is Akechi Mitsuhide who betrayed Oda Nobunaga.
Lady Ochiba, the Mother of the Heir of the Taiko, is the only Consort to the Late Taiko who was able to produce an Heir for him.
In the book, but not discussed here, it is revealed that she took advantage of a moment in the garden with a commoner that looked like the Taiko to get herself with child, but in the adaptation it is simply implied and never explained.
They can't very well separate the most celebrated 'widow' of the Taiko from her son, the Heir, without looking like they stole his son from her. So the Council has to keep Ochiba happy. Because with her comes the support of the Heir, and with the Heir comes continual Legitimacy for the Council of Regents. Ochiba has the potential to singlehandedly destroy the Council by arranging to run away somewhere else and bring the Heir with her. And she can do so any number of ways to minimize the risks to herself and her son in the process. The Regents are only Regents so long as they serve the Heir, and the Heir could theoretically countermand the standing orders for the formation of the Council, with enough politics. Guided, of course, by his doting Mother, Lady Ochiba.
Think of it like Chess. Toranaga is the White King, and Mariko is the White Queen. Ishido is the Black King, and now we have finally met Lady Ochiba fully, who is the Black Queen. And just like chess, the Kings are limited in how they move because of their importance socially and politically. But the Queens are the most powerful pieces on the board, seconded only by the Samurai Knights. And now we see the chessboard of the book, and all the main pieces are moving about the board.
Osaka is Ishido's Castle. Edo is Toranaga's. The Portuguese are Ishido's Bishops, literally, and Jon Blackthorne and the Erasmus are the Bishops that Toranaga has to counter them. The chessboard is set. Everyone else besides the main Samurai Knights in the game is merely a pawn.
In the actual book, Shogun, from what I remember - Ochiba was worried that she was still unable to give the Taiko an heir just to keep her high place with him. His actual first wife also hadn't, so it sounded more like he was shooting blanks and unable to produce any offspring of his own . . . She had been on a ride somewhere, and gave herself to a peasant to try to gain a child to be shown as his. Toronaga then met her on that said ride a bit later and saw that her clothes were dishevelled, and she told him that she'd fallen off her horse earlier when he asked . . . but he was always suspicious - and Ochiba was always worried if he knew the truth about her son - the son who should also never be the descending ruler of the Taiko either . . .
Am I the only one who thinks Lady Ochiba's actress would make a _perfect_ voice actress for anime villains (assuming she isn't already)?
She has that smug rich lady "ara ara" voice down to perfection.
Every episode gets better and better. So glad you guys are reacting to this. I'm loving your emotions in this and felt the same way the first time I watched it!
"Oh is that uh Kiku?"
What?? Kiku was Omi's favorite escort.
That was the Heir's mother, Ochiba.
And Ochiba wasnt the Taiko's wife...She was the consort because the wife couldnt produce an heir.
So she holds power not because of the Taiko but because of the Heir.
So basically she's what in England would be called a Queen Mother... that is, doesnt hold legal authority but holds great influence. Especially with the people.
I love how this show will always commit. From the beginning they show that this is a straight up "f*ck around and find out" type society. Even your words have the heaviest of weights.
I love how the dude just kept cracking up at every john scene lmaooo
Women being treated as men's property is basically part of many different cultures and period. whether it's western or eastern.
“If freedom is all you ever live for, you will never be free of yourself.” The way I took it is that Mariko is saying that John’s view of “personal freedom” means that he will constantly look at everything as, “What will this do for ME” rather than, “How does this serve a greater purpose”. Meaning he will be a slave to his own desires (in a prison of himself) rather than achieving the freedom of a life lived in service to a higher order.
Nice timing guys. News came out yesterday that they are working on making 2 more seasons of Shōgun.
"But he didn't hit the post"
Ohhhh yes he did.
Fuji-sama = cutie.
This episode so packed with culture. Your wife is your property back then, the word of upper class is the law above religion, own life is only as worth as what you died for, you control nothing as you can be a leader of a nation but a random nature event can end wars by ending you, etc.
The gardener died "fir a greater cause" of getting rid of the bird where Johns words gave it meaning, but then other words made his death even more meaning by the pretend spy scapegoat.
The freedom quote is like if you always chase for freedom you will always reject everything that requires commitment so you're limiting your self that way - so how free are you really!? John only yearns for open see, runs from his country, family, child in the name of freedom. Now even wants to abandon their tradition, their country/situation. He's in his own "prison" of freedom chase. Very good episode. 👏
This ep was sp enthralling!!! Was waiting for Quinn to see husband still alive & he was right if u dont see a body u just never can be sure. If you werent hooked before, now its an all in situation & i missed it initially so from here on out i binged it lol. This show is just a pure masterpiece in beauty, acting, & story telling!!!❤💞❤️
Quinn said I've never been there before!! 😂
"All my war stories are full of holes" hahahahaha, old sailors joke, something about what cannon do to other ships
Wow! This episode had everything! Comedy with noodles & sake scene, tragedy over John's words, tension between characters, intensity with the earth quake scene, episodes just get better & better! & liked Quinn's "bloom" & "cannon" gestures in the intro. ☺️
Lady Ochiba speaks for the heir, who is the one to legitimize the council members. Shes the most powerfull person in the country, until her son is old enough to reign.
the heir is not going to be the emperor, the heir refers to position of Taiko, which is very different than the emperor.
@@paganheart70 But wouldnt he become the emperor? or is that another person? Ugh, this is so confusing... anyways, I edited it out.
@@SovermanandVioboy no, the emperor is the emperor, in an unbroken line that continues today.
The Taiko is not a family relation to the emperor, he was a commoner, not of a noble family, who rose to rule Japan, at the approval of the emperor, the emperor was basically a spiritual figurehead of the nation at the time. Also, the Shogun was also a ruler of Japan, with the approval of the emperor, but the Shogun was from a noble family. They are all separate, there was never a Taiko and Shogun ruling at the same time. But while the taiko OR shogun rules Japan, there was always still an emperor on the throne (figurehead).
This was supposed to be a limited series based on the novel. But apparently FX has renewed it for a second and third season. Excited about that!
It isn't clear what the "second season" is going to be. It might be an adaption of another of James Clavell's novels, most likely "Gai-jin" which takes place in 1862. That novel isn't as good as "Shogun. Also, it is highly unlikely that it will be a continuation with Toranaga, John, Fuji, etc. There is some history to be explored but it would require inventing the story rather than adapting one. In other words, I suggest getting excited about the news may not be warranted.
@@Rabbithole8 Yes it's not known yet whether it will be a continuation of these character's stories in the Shogun universe or another adaption of Clavell's other novels. FX and the writers would be wise to stick within the Shogun universe.
The dinner scene is brilliant because most people got it wrong. many thinks ''oh are they gonna get along well after drinking battle?'' ''oh he's gonna missed the post"' ''oh they gonna have a fight, john's gonna beat him up"' and none of that happened. the fact that Buntaro decided to apologized despite his dislike over John, the fact that John decided to go despite his anger, really speaks volume on the many layers of cultural differences, people's characters.
Isn't it funny how the guys somehow ended up thinking the lack of women's rights was a uniquely Japanese thing even though John even said women were owned by theor husbands back in England too. He was appealing to Buntaro's humanity more than any Western morals
The pheasant also symbolized the class differences, not just the cultural. John wasn't from high class like the place he lives now. People normally wouldn't hang the bird next to the house, but he doesn't know any better.
The young Heir to the throne has an army behind him and the regents can't order that army around because they don't belong to them, but because the heir is too young to rule yet his mother Ochiba can so she has power also Ishido is madly in love with her so theres that
One of the best series put together. All but flawless. With it winding down i guess it is time to start a new series, like, say... Banshee!
Buntaro is comedy gold, the way he threw them noodles on the floor right next to him🤣 (because it’s not his house it’s Blackthornes floor 🤣)
Just like sommeliers and wine producers make noise when tasting, even today Japanese people slurp and slurp when eating noodles in soup, in order to bring out the aroma.
>the time for politics is over
>proceeds to get involved into politics
Great reaction. Have you guys seen the Korean show Kingdom? If so, I’d definitely watch that reaction
him smashing his wife isn't their culture oak that why he left the house and bowed and apologized cause what he did was wrong especially knowing hes a samurai with honor. he was drunk probably his first time being that drunk since they don't drink like that normally it was out of character hence why he left the house that why john left him after he said sorry, hope that explains that oak that ain't Japanese .
Just renewed for seasons two AND three!
Historically shoguns are not morally driven, so most likely Toranaga is indirectly the reason the old man is dead. He also said to his spy "Find HIM (referring to Yabushige) another spy". Basically ordering his spy to find someone else to be caught instead.
Bring on season 2 and 3!!!!!
I was confused myself why she would have that kind of power, but since she's queen consort. i think she controls the armies of the kid intil he comes of age.
She has no official power but like many mothers from history who's children became rulers too young, she speaks for the child and essentially has the power.
Let's gooo...!!!
I think this crew would truly enjoy Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Answer uhhh really, really seemed to enjoy this episode
Season 2 and 3 confirmed FYI
👏🏾
Given that they have no source material like for the show and the real history is a phase of extreme political stability I'm actually not hyped.
Sometimes it is best to let a good work of art stand on it's own rather than to ride the cash cow to the bitter end.
@@BobHerzog1962 The phase of stability wont start until 1616 and the series ends in 1600...
@@SovermanandVioboy It started before and was just interrupted by one rebellion (at least as long as we count serious challanges). And that one was smacked down hard.
@@BobHerzog1962 well, Clavell never wrote a sequel to Shogun, but maybe he had notes/ideas that he never got to? His daughter is an executive producer on this series, and she has sole control over all his estate and the books, movies, etc., so maybe this is something she can/will help with. There is a ton of actual historical source material on the Tokugawa shogunate so they will have to come up with/continue the story that Clavell developed back in 1970-75. It definitely won't be easy, but I think they are up to it.
well you have to obey your boss' mother
You may not know this, but the samurai of this era waged spectacular wars against the allied forces of China and Korea, overwhelming them. These were witnessed by Christian missionaries. If we incorporate these events into the season, we can still enjoy it.
There are official episode summaries online that are great to read if you need a little help keeping the story and the characters more clear.
Enjoy the Shogun reactions, thank you. I like your take on the culture aspect and not respecting some parts because it's wrong. Like how we treat animals in our current cultures, mass farming and killing them for our own pleasure when we don't need to.
Lady Ochiba is a consort not the Taiko's wife.
Love guys so much❤
Please watch the Vampire Diaries show
It's really good
Thank you for the super! We appreciate it 🤜🤛
Hey, love your reactions!!!!!, you must watch cocktail, yall will have a blast!!!!!!
Totally unrelated but I was just thinking y’all would loveeeeeeeeee vampire diaries it’s a long series but y’all would love some of the characters
10 mins ago??
Freedom is not in pursuing the things you desire, because you will always be chasing new things every day and never be free of serving your own desires. When you put others before yourself, that changes. You act selflessly for the good of a community. Which is illustrated by the story of the gardener.
react bujji introduction glimpse from kalki
Answer's laugh is the best, hahahah
(not trying to be a dig at the guys here just a general commentary on reactions ive seen here) its interesting to me how many people have some awareness of the ways modern life leads to people with all their material needs met and almost all the freedom they could want who are depressed, listless, hopeless, etc, and can't at least understand, if not agree with, the concept that living just for freedom and for yourself with no higher purpose (whether its god, a lord, a cause, what have u) might be a type of prison in and of itself, and the way living for something besides yourself can be freeing. each way of living has its own negatives, but i think the positive of mariko's worldview is even when there's nothing in your own life that you feel like living for you never feel unfulfilled, useless, like your life in pointless, because you have a very specific meaning for your own life and a very clear path to honor. idk, i think this show could be an interesting mind-opener esp for some Americans if they allow it to be, again even if it doesn't end up changing ur outlook on life or freedom.
I think most people would consider it soul crushing to work a 9 to 5, come home and watch tv, and do nothing else besides social obligations that they would rather not attend. No goals, no passions, no cause.
But for some people that's all they want, they consider that living the quiet easy life.
I knew someone like that. All he wanted was to be left alone, work, come home, eat, play video games and go to sleep. He did his best to avoid seeing his family. He didn't have any friends or relationships. The only way he would do more than small talk was if we were discussing nerd culture. He told me most of this himself, without any shame.
I would hate that, to play life on repeat without any growth or positive change.
Who's society is braking down at the moment 'certainly not the Japanese!
Animal movie reaction please
do a reaction video on srk's jawaan , you guys will love it
React to movie sing
Unbelievers that said the ending was perfect and that there would be no second season, shame on you.
I'm with Oak. You need the challenge every culture (including your own of course) and shift out what is good and what is not acceptable. People tend to leave critical thinking behind, e.g. the admiration for Viking culture. You can admire the achievements but not explain away the dark side.
I totally disagree.
@@paganheart70 With what?
@@KristiinaBerg that you need to challenge every culture. why? what is the point?
@@paganheart70 To learn.
@@KristiinaBerg so you mean to learn by studying/research. I don't see how challenging a thing has anything to do with learning about it. Seems more like you want to "challenge" a thing because you want to form a counter-opinion to how something actually happened. Seems weird and counter-intuitive to me
React to "Beekeeper" pls
Guys, that wasnt Mariko. It really was a consort (its like that in the book and old tv series). The point is Mariko gave the consort her perfume, to make Blackthorne actually pillow. The morning scene is more awkward in the book and old show, because Anjin actually asks if it was her.
These are different scenes, the one pictured here and the scenes in the book and in the 1980 series.
@@KristiinaBerg Im talking about the night Blackthorne was pillowing with a lady. Its the same scene
@@Czejenesku Then why did they use the actor of Mariko for the scene?
@@KristiinaBerg Its not. All japanese people have natural black hair, same as native indians. Watch the scene in slow motion.
@@Czejenesku I'm sorry, but you are mistaken.
"I've never been in that situation before."
Dude? Live a little... get passionate about something to the point that the mere thought of its absence makes you question ALL of your life's choices...
My wife and i have gotten in that situation half as many years as we've been married. It's a hell of a bi-annual wakeup.
Hey guys try ANIMAL
Japanese culture is weird. Why turn down the rabbit stew so directly? Wouldn't it be considered polite to eat some? The pheasant I get, but the stew was prob delicious. I've read the books so I kno this is extra, but I wonder why they made this narrative choice.
I think it was because of Buntaro's presence. The ladies probably didn't want him to see them relax and try out a barbarian's food. If he wasn't there, I think they would've tried it at least.
At that time, most Japanese were vegetarians (more accurately, pescatarians). They would eat fish and seafood, but not mammals and birds. The scene also is meant to display the racism and ethnocentrism from the side of the Japanese as Buntaro mocks Blackthorn, calling him a monkey.
weird? wow, such an entitled comment.
@@itslaylalayla I didn't mean it in a bad way. I love their culture. My point was they generally make a big deal out of being polite, so I was surprised they turned down his stew.
@@Rabbithole8 I get all that, but appreciate the comment. I supposed their politeness would overcome their dietary discretion. They treat Blackthorn as a barbarian but aren't willing to try any of his ways. I find that era of Japan fascinating. The show is stellar.
You may not know this, but the samurai of this era waged spectacular wars against the allied forces of China and Korea, overwhelming them. These were witnessed by Christian missionaries. If we incorporate these events into the season, we can still enjoy it.
