As a Samurai you should seek death but respect it, same as the Vikings back in the day. The Varangian guards where Viking bodyguards of the Byzantine emperor, but when someone was able to defeat them and kill the emperor they bowed down to the assassin/killer.. Odin had a big table.
That samurai with 3 cut combo is no actor. That guy just cut the persons finger to prevent him from drawing his sword. Removing the blood, sheating it was just amazing
@Drifter4804 But samurai loved fighting with bows as well. And they had different standards of what's fair in combat. They could kill their enemy from his back or shoot him with an arrow. They were different from the knights of Europe.
@@Levon_RnD TBH Knights of Europe had no real rules about fighting either, lots of surviving fighting manuals detail of dirty and dishonourable ways of shanking your opponent when they're not looking.
@@gwilym1991 Rules were real. It just doesn't mean they were never violated. You can read about some dishonorable actions of samurais as well. The difference is using a long range weapon against an opponent with a sword wasn't considered dishonorable in Japan at all.
archers were hated back then they were considered cowards but we knew we needed them and a lot of them ranged battle is the only battle that saves lives
The regents looking in disbelief that Ishido would let this happen Mariko walking towards the remaining guards and then slowly backing away. Love that scene.
Everybody talking about the amazing samurai with 3 slashes but I find Mariko's elegant but fierce fight much more captivating. That woman is a queen tier actress
It was a very good polearm representation. She continually made space and used both ends of the weapon, even still, its obvious that if the guards wanted to kill her they could do so quickly.
not only is this scene so beautifully created, this declaration for departure was such a blow to the stalemate they were all stuck in, she had a plan to force the lord's hands even if they fail to make it out
Right? I never thought that the Naginata was that big/long in in comparison to its wielder. I always imagined it being small and thin; easy to twirl between the fingers like a spear or a bo staff. Hell, the shaft is thicker than I thought too since Mariko was wielding it with a two handed grip. (Except for when she’s readjusting her grip.)
How many years did Mariko want to die, only for Toranaga to tell her "No way! Not yet. If I have a servant who actually WANTS to die, I am definitely gonna save that in my back pocket for a time when it will serve my agenda BEST", and then after a decade or something he tells her "it's finally time; make it spectacular"
This scene beautifully captures the spirit of the ancient Japanese samurai, as Mariko, having fought valiantly, gracefully accepts her defeat and announces her intent to commit seppuku in accordance with the samurai code. Both her enemies, refraining from any further attack, and her allies, though sorrowful, honor her decision. The depiction of this moment truly exemplifies the noble character of the samurai.
Hosokawa Gracia, the real Japanese noble woman that Mariko portrays actually did die by ordering her servants to stab her through the door. Since, she’s a Christian, she couldn’t do a seppuku or die by her own hands.
This is very similar to the passage in the books, though in that Mariko's samurai do not get ganged up on. They do one man duels until the last falls after 4 consecutive fights. One thing I wish they had included was that after Mariko retreats back to the estate she makes sure she's alone and then her facade breaks down and she cries for the men she had to just send out to die for her doomed attempt, it's very humanising and in keeping with her character.
Such display of honorable bravery and loyalty to duty is simply astounding. They embrace death as the utmost fulfilment of their duty. Those archers are a holes though. They killed the 3 slash samurai without a fight. 😢
I've watched this scene about 100 times in a week and the way her men were ready to die and kill for her just shows how much they really respected her. The one who bowed to her before he died and she returned his bow shows mutual respect.
Mariko knew Ishido wouldn't let her leave and forced it to expose him for keeping the nobles confined in the castle and to turn them against him despite his pretence of consulting with the regents.This act was the beginning of Ishido's downfall and his end.If he let Mariko leave it would make him lose face and weaken his position.If he confined Mariko against her will as she belonged to the noble samurai class, it exposed Ishido for going against the norms and not respecting the rules of society.Whichever decision he took, Toranaga sent Mariko to make sure Ishido was doomed and for her to achieve her wish of dying to salvage the honour of her family.Well played, both Mariko and Toranago got what they wanted in the end.Ishido fell into their hands as he was forced to make a decision which would not favour him regardless of whatever decision he chose as he would still expose himself and his position.
exactly! they had this planned thoroughly no matter the outcome, but of course, none of this will be possible if Mariko's loyalty falters just a bit, her determination to see her Lord's plan to fruition is 300%!
still can't get over with this show. This is the peak of a shogun era and japanese culture depiction. It is traumatic to lost Mariko sama like I miss her already.
I love how she downplays her skills to show them she can't defeat these men. She goes from cool composure to wild swings and screams to appear desperate. She played her part beautifully.
People would be losing their minds about how woke Mariko's haircut is , and how' she's allowed to Girl Boss it when faced with highly trained Samaria etc. Oh and that Leper guy is a DEI hire.
This story does not contain any political correctness that ignores reality. That is the condition for an excellent original work. It is the reality that America and Europe have abandoned.
@@shatterquartzIt’s very convenient that you leave out the fact that Mariko and Blackborne are Christians, yet not particularly manipulative. You simple minded folk are funny.
@@GutsStan It's repeatedly pointed out that Mariko values her duty to Toranaga more than her faith, a fact vividly illustrated by the fact that she is ready to commit suicide in his service despite it being a mortal sin.

@@Petey0707 The term itself was (mostly) but the general idea of a code of ethics and conduct among samurai was absolutely real (although it evolved many times over the years) and to deny that is kinda foolish.
The Japanese favoured mobility over protection. When you are being showered by mongol arrows or shot at by muskets and cannons, a burdensome shield will only make you easier to kill.
@@Ixtzalit the mongol part is actually wrong, they didn’t have shields because they believed in honor and the katana is a two handed weapon along with the bows and spears they used. When they ran into the mongols they were seriously outmatched because they didn’t have shields. If it wasn’t for the storm that destroyed the Mongol fleet they would have been destroyed.
@@SunDogGod Honor has nothing to do with it but rather because of the style of their warfare., Samurai's primary weapon is either a yari or yumi both are wielded using two hand hence little room for a shield.
Why waste time with shields when the peasants can easily be trained in using the yari/spear. The samurai did use field shields Parise like shields europeans used. But even then
Surely that armour should have been a better defence against those arrows? Even if the archers are all crack shots (as the shots at her feet suggest), they should have shown the armor being effective against some shots...
Honest question I don’t know much about this show but is this how they would historically fight with this level honor or is the exaggerated for the show
I would say pretty accurate. Samurai in service to a lord would uphold their honor above everything including their lives. Higher ranked Samurai leaders would appear to uphold the same honor, but find ways to sneakily work around it in order to get an advantage over their enemies while keeping the loyalty of their subjects... This is well demonstrated by the show.
It looks great but, like so many 1 vs group fight scenes, fails at realism. When outnumbered, you keep moving to expose yourself to as few opponents as possible while trying to engage one opponent at a time. Mariko stayed near the center and spread her attacks too thin.
