Bald style was for the proper fitting of the samurai helmet. And since samurai became the higher class of citizen it became the popular signature of status in Japanese culture.
Did you mean "a false sense of security?" Anyway, great reaction as always - and yes, I see the resemblance between the Saeki and Nagakado too! My theory (or hope) is that Toranaga using the term 'Crimson Sky' in his surrender speech (a phrase known to John), was a signal for him to leave in order to implement whatever plan they've got to counter his brother's betrayal. (Whether Nagakado's unexpected death changes things, remains to be seen)!
In Japan during this period, it was believed that the soul resided in the belly. There are many idioms related to belly. For example, "belly black" means "a person who is not honest". In those days, the equivalent of "heart" was "belly. So it seems that seppuku also has the meaning of cutting one's own belly. According to one comment, it was an act to prove one's "purity," that one's "belly is not black". The act of seppuku, however, is not common in Japan and seems to be a punishment for the samurai class.
I must confess that I did not expect the death of Toranaga's son to sadden me as much as it did.
Absolute crazy episode. Only gonna get wilder from here.

And was later enforced when toranaga came to power

yeah, but there was this word i was trying to think of, i feel like it had a "C" to start or... man, idk. I curse so much my vocab is ass now.
@@FreshestKReacts Maybe placate.
I think Thorne getting mad and storming off is a ruse - planned by both. Like Euron Greyjoy storming off at the walking dead demo.
20:00 "Let their guard down"?

@@FreshestKReacts Maybe pacify.
19:55 Maybe complacent.
