What other show could manage "I'm gonna cut your head off" as a declaration of truest love?
Not a movie or drama, but Mikasa cuts Eren's head as a token of her love toward him😭
If I had a peso everytime japanese media portrays cutting your loved one's head as a form of true commitment, I would have two pesos. Which is quite weird considering it happened twice.
@@kkate432 Thanks for the spoiler
If I remember medieval japanese are really big fans of slicing their own intestines, for all sorts of reasons, such as forgetting to feed their lord's goldfish
Please don't trust me on this (i might be wrong), but the closest you've got would be in Highlander the series when Duncan is in Japan and agrees to assist his savior in committing seppuku. In such case, we're talking only about honor, of course.
The pain on her face at the realization she is abandoned by her chosen second and might have to kill herself by her own hand condemning herself to hell (by her Catholic faith) is pure art.....such an amazing performance. As is the expression of relief when Blackthorne realizes this when he tells her to pay hell no mind.
It’s not just the religious aspect. The second is there to ensure the person doesn’t suffer a moment longer than they have to. If she didn’t have a second, it would be a long and painful death. This is the actual reason Blackthorne stepped in. It was a mercy.
I love that "hell is no place I haven't already known" was improvised by Cosmo. He really gets Blackthorne.
Giving up your place in heaven is one huge proof of love.
The fact he decided to become his second means he truly loves her. Despite not wanting her to go thru commiting sepuku, he’d rather be the second then allow her to feel like she’s damned to hell. It’s quite poetic for him to do it considering her earlier quote on how a flowers beauty or purpose is when it falls “flowers are only flowers when it falls”. Her whole life after her father’s death is wanting to die, but now her death is given purpose and meaning to her and to those she cares about.
Yes, truly romantic moment
Beautiful
The white elephant in the room on this video is that the most poignant moment of the scene is left out. That is when Mariko San does not have the strength to pick herself up and so Blackthorne extends his hand, and they lock eyes.
I was close to sobbing!!
The point is that he was willing to do something he was totally against for someone he loved and be haunted by it forever. That is different than trying to convince her for what he himself wanted.
I think she respected it immensely.
For those who is not familiar, the first act of Seppuku is extremely painful if done properly in the guts (instead of the heart). The second act liberates the samurai from the pain. The last psychological chess move was not giving Mariko the second act to instill fear on her. She apparently went with the Seppuku anyway. Blackthorn understood that and volunteered to be the second act.
Japanese legend said that some defeated samurai opened up their stomach, took their guts out, and chop them to pieces in front of the winning party before leaning forward for the second act. That action terrified the winning party and served as the samurai's last fighting effort.
Female samurai seppuku was always a stab in the throat anyway, not the gut slicing.
It also had to do for Mariko that shed go to hell by suicide based on her Catholic faith. A poibt she made clear when she asked Kiyama to second her
@@Taylexwow great insight!
@@ElZilchoYo I am not convinced that the term "Samurai" can be applied to female at that time.
@@ElZilchoYoNot always, but yes, for female samurai going straight to the throat cut was deemed as honorable, female seppuku was relatively rare anyways making it a kind of individual event each case, Mariko protesting Lord Ishido actions through the most painful ceremony would had been devastating to him
Subtle thing about this episode: those with a keen eye would spot that Blackthorne has been sword-training. Everything about his stance and grip and posture has changed from the first time at the beach with Yabushige, where he couldn’t even grip the sword properly. In this episode, he even performs a manoeuvre and kills someone who was trying to kill him.
Good on him for putting in the work.
fake sword training of a fake samurai.

"Let it from your mind."
He tells her to unburden herself of the fear for her own soul, that he understands his true task is not just to ease her death by being her second, but by risking his own soul for hers.
It is a stunning scene. One of the best of this show. Her bravery and her loyal heart makes her a true samurai heroine. Whithout John She would have been left alone in this heartbreakingly heavy situation. No one was there to secont her untill John step forward to do it. Their nonverbal communication was very touching. Both Anna and Cosmo deservs a bow for this scene. Great actors!

The way they shot how Anjin helps Mariko to get up by offering his hand and her accepting it looks almost like a marriage ceremony with guests looking at newly wed.

Mariko-sama was an angel. She was so brave and beautiful.😢 Blackthorne loved and respected her equally.
She was a force of nature recognized by Toronaga Sama, Blackthorne, and Fr. Martin Alveto. Ironically, they all thought that they would save her....except Yoshi Toronaga the supreme tactician. It simply blows minds! Great writing!
Strangely romantic which is wild
It is the most romantic scene in all of there scenes. Breathtakingly beautiful unconditional love

You definitely should read the book after the show is over. The show skipped a LOT of things. When Mariko died in the book I was heartbroken, their love story is much more complex and sweet there.

Madame knows a lot about suffering. To ask for help from a man who for the first time almost held a sword in his hands, we saw how he, having met Yabushige on the shore, held it
She didn't ask him, he was the only one willing to do it because he couldn't watch her suffer.
He's held swords before, he's an English mariner, of course he can use a sword. He just doesn't know the Japanese style of fighting. But he can carry out a slashing blow easily.
コメントの外国人の方々が、この時点で切腹と介錯を肯定的に受け止めているのが興味深い
It is unlikely blackthorne would perform his job as second well. But he saw it as sparing her damnation. So even though she may not die quickly, in his eyes what is that to eternal torment.
He can swing a sword, hes just unfamiliar with a katana
A similar thought occured to me as well. Especially since such clear importance is put on the rosary she gives him
He's definitely had some training with a cutlass and has combat experience, as you see ample demonstration of later in the episode. I'm pretty sure the toughest thing about this for him is not the physical act of cutting off her head itself. It's the anguish of who he has to do it to.
would be a hell of a thing to do for the first time. i can't imagine being the one to do that.
Id be concerned it wouldn't be a clean beheading which would be awful for John
I"ve never read 1000 pages in 2 days before this book. Thanks Mr. Clavel. And this is the best movie based on the book.

I love this version more. Yabu second her is so false when he in fact betray them all. It would just be an act. While this version was the ultimate romantic scene amongst this series John and Marikos special bond.

But japanese were also rapist and murderer s so no real honor
Blackthorn's sigh was hilarious. That man couldn't be happier he didn't have to go through with it.
What many Japanese worry about is whether this drama will reinforce misunderstandings and prejudices. So, we comment on parts of fiction that are significantly different from reality. It would be fine if all the content of the drama were fiction, but since this era, the amount of records has increased rapidly and the facts are becoming more detailed. On the other hand, Japanese cannot help but feel uncomfortable with dramas based on original works that contain a lot of fiction and a little historical fact. William Adams, who was the model for John Blackthorne, is a real person, but after the historic battle (Battle of Sekigahara) in 1600, he was favored by Ieyasu (Toranaga) and became a hatamoto(direct vassal of shogun). It's not like he was active before that battle. I would like to clearly recognize that fact. It may be unavoidable to have flashy or cruel directions for entertainment, but Hosokawa Gracia, who was the model for Toda Mariko, did not commit suicide to protect her faith, but instead had her family vassal kill her. Therefore, she remains the tragic heroine of the Sengoku period. In this drama, Mariko says "suicide,'' and then she says "kaishaku,'' so even though she asks for "kaishaku'' as punishment for breaking her faith, this is out of Japanese common sense. In other words, Japanese think that such "suicide'' is "actually seppuku,'' and are confused by this strangeness. I understand that it was difficult, but I wish they had expressed "kaishaku'' correctly, just like "seppuku.''
多くの日本人が心配するのは、このドラマで逆に誤解や偏見が助長されないかということです。だから、事実と大きく異なったフィクションの部分に対し、コメントするのです。ドラマ内容全てがフィクションであったら良いのですが、この時代から、記録の量がぐっと増えてきて事実が詳しくわかってきます。これに反し、多くのフィクションと少ない史実の混じった原作のドラマに、日本人は違和感を覚えざるを得ないのです。ジョン・ブラックソーンのモデルとなったウィリアム・アダムズは実在の人物ですが、1600年の歴史的な戦い(関ヶ原の戦い)の後、家康(虎長)の気に入られ、旗本になっていますから、その戦いの前から活動をしたわけではありません。その事実ははっきりと認識して欲しいのです。娯楽作品にするには派手だったり残虐だったりする演出も仕方ないかもしれませんが、戸田鞠子のモデルとなった細川ガラシャは、信仰を守って自殺せず、家来に自身を殺させているため、戦国時代の悲劇のヒロインであることに変わりはありません。このドラマ内で鞠子は「自害」と言ってから、続いて「介錯」と言っているため、信仰を破った罰として「介錯」を頼んでも、これは日本人の常識から外れます。つまり、その「自害」は「実質上の切腹」になると日本人は考え、その奇妙さに戸惑うのです。難しかったことはわかりますが、「切腹」と同様に「介錯」も正しく表現して欲しかったと思います。
they just want to make some dollars from pleasing there western viewer's.
Western based TV drama is primarily for entertainment rather than historical accuracy. For this reason the drama may not always support the facts. Its interesting that Japanese may feel uncomfortable with such dramas. These dramas are not meant as historical documentaries, although they may appear like that at times. Id like to see more factual historical dramas though. History often has lessons for the future than can be lost in the desire for entertainment.
@@specialandroid1603 様(sama)
It is often the case that historical events that were once accepted as established knowledge turn out to be completely wrong as research and studies are advanced. I am grateful that there are people like you who think wisely about historical dramas based on Japan. It is very difficult for anyone to understand a different culture, but if we do not make the effort, terrible misunderstandings will not go away.
This was the best scene in the series! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
I will read the book after the show is over. Will love to know more details of the story.
The book tells the story much more from Blackthorne's perspective (and that of the Portuguese), it also spends a lot more time on the love story
I honestly want to watch this one because it is very good and the plot of it reminds me of the Movie called "The Last Samurai" and that one will get you crying every time you see it! 😭
Although a lady could also commit seppuku equivalent (as uncommon cases), calling this seppuku is wrong as she targets her heart. 2:21
It looks like some Japanese say that this scene is wrong as a lady is not supposed to commit seppuku, but the truth is that she is not committing seppuku in this scene. Nobody in the show called it seppuku. Just some audiences or critics wrongly call it seppuku, which is wrong.
Then what is the female equivalent of Seppuku?
I believe its called "jigai". The ritual suicide from women of samurais. But normally its directed at the throat if im not mistaking
@@thespiritphoenix3798"jigai"
@@naylamuslima she isn't woman of a samurai but a hoe of Ajin,
“Seppuku” literally means “belly cutting” - Harakiri is an alternate term basically meaning the same thing. Samurai wives didn’t commit “seppuku” as such, but it was tradition for the wives of defeated samurai to commit suicide to escape capture/rape, rather than surrender. While “tradition” it wasn’t exactly as formal as seppuku. Early translators misunderstood and thought “Jigai” with a capital “J” was the female equivalent to “Seppuku” - but “jigai” is just an archaic word for suicide in general.
So it was more a “custom” than a “tradition” - that said, the samurai’s wife would usually slit her own throat, not cut the belly open. In this clip, she does neither, targeting her heart.
The part they DO get right is that the noblewoman would kneel and tie a rope around her legs first, to ensure that in her death throes her corpse didn’t end up with her legs splayed wide open in an undignified position.
He's so mumbly, I can't understand what he says after telling her that he'll do it. Sounds like "there's no place I haven't already known, [insert unintelligible gibberish here]"
I agree, I think he says “Hell is no place I haven’t already known, let it from your mind” while trying to spare her from damnation for committing suicide without someone as her second.

I loathed Ishido as much as anyone watching the series, but he was a great villain. Knowing that he had no intention of allowing any of Mariko's party to leave didn't diminish the power of this scene - magnificent.
If your nominated second refuses then you must endure the entire ritual of disembowelling yourself.
it'd be amazing if I could actually see what's happening without having to turn the brightness on my phone all the way up.

same lmao
The fuck are you even talking about?
This is not actually seppuku scene. Seppuku, 切腹, cut the belly, is the manner of samurai. For ladies of samurai family often committed suicide but not cut belly but stab their chest or cut their neck.
Mariko tried to stab her chest.
Seppuku is either way
This scene had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, it was so intense.
Just glad that she didn‘t go through with it, because having an untrained swordsman as a second would be - let‘s say quite unfortunate to witness.
can anyone explain why yabushi helps the shinobi get in the fortress and then warn the main characters about the incoming shinobi?
he's playing both sides so he always comes out on top
@@keithfilibeck2390he a dead man walking from the start 😂
Because Yabu is always playing both sides.
Mariko had to die in a way that moved lords to rebellion against Ishido. When he stopped seppuku, other way had to orchestrated that blamed him. For Yabu warring other is just an alibi for himself.
becouse he doesnt want to die
Women didn‘t commit Seppuku, they committed Jigai, stabbing their hearts (as seen here) or their throats instead of disembowelment.
a number of things wrong with this. Female samurai do not commit Seppuku they commit Jigai. When commiting Jigai the dagger is used to cut their throat not driver into their heart as Mariko intended. And finally since the jugglular was cut it brought about a very rapid death the act of beheading was not required so Blackthorne wouldn't have had to at as her second.
Without a second, Mariko would have committed suicide, damning her soul to hell. She needed someone else to strike the killing blow.
Why was he so confident that he could one shot it? Wild ass
Everyone is wrong. Mariko looks at John not out of relief or some deep realization that he now understands.
But out of deep regret and sadness that this man that she loves was the last person she wanted to put through this.
She knows it would cause him great pain. And she regrets this.
But her resolve cannot be diminished and she proceeds.
It's unlikely John would've gotten a clean cut on the first try
It can be both
I think she was just terrified of a botched beheading. In the show, I don't think we've even seen him handle a Katana once before this part
That's how you make a strong female character beloved by everyone whose sacrifice moved us to tears. Based upon excellent writing, authenticity and passion. Take notes woke $eta$ds.
I'd just like to point out that Japanese female nobility from that era almost always perform this ritual with a stab into the throat that results in fast death that will not require a second for a mercy beheading. That she chooses a belly slice is very unbecoming for her class but perhaps she wants a slower death to allow for her end to be done by a second to avoid the self deletion mortal sin of her Catholic faith. Also, I would also point out that her thick long hair would almost certainly prevent a clean cut to the neck. Had John had to cut through all that hair with a thin light katana - he would certainly need several strokes. Not a good fast ending.
Thx, sayonara
Never.. ❤
what is barney thompson doing in japan. he's supposed to be working for the peaky blinders
What I don't understand is that as a Christian, she knows she shouldn't be committing Seppuku.
Was John really going to go through with it?
We will never know
Yes because he wouldn't be able to watch her suffer the blood falling everywhere & her screams.
there is no way he had to. because mariko would not have guts to go through it for 16 F years he know what littl p she is,
Yes, both out of his respect and love for her and because he knew what it would mean to take her own life as a Christian. He stepped in to have her back when no one else would and to save her from damnation. Even if he had doubt in that belief, he knew she didn't.

In book it was yabu who was second
女性が人前で自決する事は無い。ましてや切腹などあり得ない。
This is not seppuku, seppuku is to stab the belly , not the heart.
For men it was the belly, but for women _Jigai_ could also be the throat or heart and can even be unassisted.
Only samurai men had the seppuku. Women stabed the hearth or fall into the dagger. Jigai was not a common practice.
That’s why this was labeled as suicide and why ishido didn’t won’t it to happen

mariko ,, doont die yet we haver to hunt the kaiju's 🤭🤭...
Real Bushido
Why Kiyama didn't wanna give her a hand?
Ishido probably prevented him from attending.
Mariko didn't commit Seppuku because Seppuku is for Men. Momen stabbed their throat with knives instead by theirselves. Actually, I've never seen or read women asked to cut their heads off as same as men, though many women who's heads were cut for punishment.
This drama is based on the original story written by a westerner and there are some different scenes from the real.
Wondering why she tied her knees together... any particular reason?

I am fairly sure Japanese woman commited suicide under certain circumstances, the only debate would be the word Seppku. It's not Seppku but it is a suicide.
"Jigai" , kill oneself, was common among samurai-class ladies.
They pierced their throat or heart as Mariko attempted.

@@vietcuongnguyenle8530 She put her countries dumbass culture above her own child and love for John which is what made her stupid imo
This is completely wrong. Kaishaku is something that is done in response to seppuku. Women do not and cannot commit seppuku. So if she were allowed to commit suicide like in this video, she would die with a dagger to strike her heart. If she didn't die, someone else might have stabbed her to death. Her model, Hosokawa Gracia did not commit suicide, but had her family vassal stab her with his spear and kill her.
You're arguing with historical experts from Japan that were brought in for this show. One of the producers is Toranaga's actor who is ensuring it's as accurate as possible despite being dumbed down for western audiences.

This is not something to argue. It's a common sense that all Japanese people have, except for people who aren't particularly interested in history. If anyone knows a unique example of a woman being kaishaku when she commits suicide, I would like to know more about it. There must have been many parts of the drama where even Sanada-san had to compromise.
@@佐藤広-q2uexcept she is aiming for her heart. You see it the moment after the camera shifts when Ishido drops the permit. Nor is it valid to expect her to go out the same way as Gracia did as first and foremost - this is historical fiction.

Mariko San is about to commit seppuku, but women in medieval Japan didn't pierce their hearts, they actually slit their own throats. So at this point the fiction is inaccurate.
Samurai women did not commit "seppuku", which means cutting the belly. They would stab themselves in the throat. Not sure if they used "seconds" the way that men did either. Strictly speaking, a second was not necessary if a samurai carried out seppuku properly. However, as it was very painful, and required great commitment and willpower even for a dedicated samurai, it could be difficult to properly complete the act, so the custom of using a second, who would decapitate the person committing seppuku once they had begun the process of slitting open their abdomen became customary. Once the person had started the act, honor was served, and the second could decapitate them to end the pain and ensure the end came quickly. Attempting to cut off Mariko's head from behind here might be problematic. Her hair might create issues, possibly deflecting even a sharp sword before contacting the neck bones. It is also unlikely that Blackthorn would have had the skill and technique to carry out the procedure properly, even if he had been getting a few sword lessons. This is a deviation from the novel that was unnecessary, IMHO.
its a tv show man. give it a break.
Yeah, for me that way Mariko carry aronde her little knife and never get to use it is more comical than tragic, it doesn't work for me!
Just a question: here, Mariko recounts that her father was a good man who assassinated the boss of Toranaga's dead boss because the said guy was corrupt.
I know the Big Boss her dad kills is based on Oda Nobunaga, the most famous Shogun to have ever lived. Question: though it is commonly believed that Nobunaga was eccentric and morally ambiguous, was he really corrupt?
Nobunaga thoughts actually very advanced. In the perspective of japanese people, maybe he really look like a corrupted person because nobunaga action seem like having many influence of western people

Wrong. ladies did not commit seppuku, it is only for Samurai.
Samurai ladies kill themselves by the knife thrusting throat or heart.
It is difficult for untrained person to cut off human head by sword.
Unsightly and ugly beheading was a shame of the beheader and in this case he also had to kill himself because of this shame. So, Anjin second is impossible.
It happened in the book.

She wasnt commiting seppuku. The uploader doesnt know. Look at 2:45. Weeb.
Now, I can see that Mariko has two kids, both teenagers, a boy and a girl. Mariko is not older than 35, I guess. So I ask: How old was she when she had her kids?
You know some of us have jobs and don't stay up until 1am to watch this, but you put spoilers in the title of your video. "Don't recommend this channel"
I have a job and I watched it. Maybe learn how to avoid spoilers
@Viktorreznov1942 good for you. How do you avoid spoilers when the first video on top of the screen has a spoiler in the title? Maybe learn to avoid being a dick.
@dan6822 First of all the title isn't entirely accurate, 2nd you can't expect anyone to stop posting spoilers, so if you don't want to see spoilers you have to avoid anything related to the show as soon as you see it, it's actually easy to just not read the title, and the easiest way altogether is to watch it as soon as it drops.
If Season 1 of this work is modeled on the eve of Sekigahara, I would like Season 2 to create ``Winter Camp'' and ``Summer Camp'' based on the ``Battle of Sekigahara'', which was an internal conflict after unification.
After the novel was completed, Game of Thrones quickly developed a script and produced additional seasons.
It would be a shame if Shogun ended after season 1.
The story is about to get interesting.
There will be no second season this is based on the book and there is no second volume
oh, please.......
Seppuku soul mates. Completely ridiculous.
There have been many cases where a close friend was the kanshakunin. Usually one chooses somebody that knows how to use a sword well. John would have butchered it (heh) and that would have caused the story to spread like wildfire, which would aid Toranaga's cause.
Blackthornの介錯は下手そうだから絶対失敗する。首を落とすのに9回ぐらい刀振りおとすことに😂

刑罰になかっただけで、自分で選んで選択することはあったらしいよ
This is what she’s being wanting for the longest time and fails at it! Why the crying?
Because not like before, now she relaise she have kid, she have jhon who cared her, even religion, n when it death so it kinda scare her,,
Well last episode she mentioned how her wanting death all those years was to find a life away from the life she was living and now with John and her service to Toranaga she has found that life. Now that she is committing Sepoku she has to sacrifice the life she always wanted
Because she found love. Right before this scene, John asks of her,”Would you then, consider, living for me.” The way she looks and breaths shows if that were a possibility, she would take it.
Part of it (explained in the book) was that she had mentally made the commitment to kill herself, when suddenly Ishido arrives and pulls her back from the brink. Quite harrowing, I would imagine.
What a pointless scene when literally 5min later she’s being blown up for standing in front of the door being blown up.
The fact that she knew they were going to use explosives to open the door allowed her to place herself so she would be killed. The same as if she had committed suicide. The Shinobi were tasked not with killing her but capturing her to prevent her from leaving the next morning and allowing all of the other hostages to follow. This was Toranaga's plan that would allow the Lords who might support him against Ishido to do so without killing their entire families. Hiromatsu's death was part of the plan, he killed himself knowing that was what was required to make Ishido think that Toranaga was going to submit and give Mariko the time needed to destroy Ishido.
