"How dare you imply that Lord Ishido insulted me?" The complexity of this line (and the masterful delivery) is amazing. Reprimanding his vassal sharply enough as is required of him by honor, but in the same breath questioning the honor of his peer, who by the rules of politeness, he cannot directly insult.
To be fair the Japanese is more subtle. The actual Japanese is "石堂殿はいつ非礼なことを申された？" which translates to "When did Lord Ishido state an insult?" Which is questioning his underlying's judgment, but at the same time poses a rhetorical question to put Ishido on the spot.
@@alexsky88749 Era is turn of the 17th century (1600s) so it's medieval Japanese. The speaking style is very formal and proper but Ishido's words are dripping with indignation.
@@alexsky88749 yes they use archaic Japanese accurate to the early 1600s. It’s about as different from modern Japanese as Shakespeare’s English is to modern English across the same time span: intelligible but noticeably different
I love the tone of Hiroyuki Sanada voice. Good to know they hired well known japanese actors, whether they were born Japan or U.S., they know the culture more then we do.
Tell me you're a liar without telling me you're a liar. The interior of Osaka Castle is a very modern museum. It's a good museum, but nothing traditional remains.
Hiroyuki Sanada is such a great actor . Everything in this part was so well done , the cinematography and the detail is very well made . I can't wait to watch the next episode ⚔️⚔️⚔️ .
You can see Sanada’s attention to detail both as an actor and as a producer, he really took the time to make sure the authenticity of the dialogue and the sets be the best he can make it to be
IIRC He is quite vocal about how he find foreign filmmakers got Japanese culture wrong rather annoying after he saw it too many time. Now that he is the one calling the shot in the show, he made sure the show got everything right and enlisted Japanese talents into the show to create authentic experience.
@@xhagast -Agreed..Chamberlain and Shimada were sublime...Even though the yobo they got to play Blackthorne was probably more historically accurate to Adams.
The thing is, the council isn’t wrong about Toranaga’s ambitions. Granted, Ishido also seems to be gunning for power, but all of Toranaga’s actions point to him attempting to seize control of Japan. Fief’s don’t typically just double in size on their own.
Precisely. Polítical alliances through marriage and friendship. A ruler wouldn't allow a vassal to grow too powerful, otherwise he'd lose his own power
Unless you are astutely realising that the others in the same council as you are ganging up on you, so you need to increase your resources in order to be able to defend from perceived threat. It works both ways :)
Hideyoshi died leaving a heir too young to seize power. Granted, those council members would inevitably struggle and go to war for power. It happened in ancient Rome, too... After Julius Caesar was assassinated, Octavianus and Mark Anthony had a last final battle that settled the civil war.
Hope this will start more funding for Japanese projects. Japan has a lot of talented directors and actors and also really creative plots but they lack the funding.
Japan has plenty of funding and industry for creative projects. At most, they could use some international recognition for the great stuff they're producing. Though, I won't complain if they get international funding too, as long as they get acknowledged.
This is authentic Japanese historical drama. Up until now, Japanese historical dramas produced by people overseas have always felt strange to Japanese people. I am using Google Translate, so please forgive me if there are any mistakes in English. From Japan
Unsure how it is authentic Japanese when the book was written by an English author? Do Japanese people feel this book represents their history and culture well?
@@Charlie_Ses toranaga himself is a showrunner/producer.... they hired japanease crew and actors even the catering is japanese and every actor was trained on japanese formal speaking of the era... they had a 80s version of this show and that was a hit in the western countries but failed in japan... this new version is actually hit in japan which means the japanese people see it as authentic....
@@ryufight7987 "LGBT up samurai era" LOL, you really wouldn't like the actual history of the samurai then, particularly in the time period this is set in.
@@stefanlvkc7986 Dude these types of people are hilarious lmao. They see "wokeness" everywhere and blame the "liberal agenda" for everything going wrong. The show is great tho lol
I’m sure Toranaga instructed him and the other retainers to keep their mouths shut no matter what before that meeting. Tadayoshi was too egotistical and emotionally weak to obey that simple instruction.
He had just managed to provoke one of Toranaga's vassals into acting out of line, forcing him to request for ritual suicide as penance and extracted an apology from Toranaga. He has reason to feel smug.
@@Remitonov He wasn't forced to request suicide he wanted to prove something to make the situation better by requesting that but he didn't forgive Toranaga now he really has to die and that is a sign Toranaga will soon die too.
Good catch! He was actually okay with one of Toranaga's vassals attacking him, because that would give his men (and the rest of the Regents) a legit excuse to wipe out Toranaga and all his forces and family that were within the castle. So, a planned move.
It's a beautifully recreated scene from the book. Samurai were very proud to start, so having your liege lord humiliated in such a way would naturally be reasonable cause to feel insulted and react with violence. Ishido may have wished to provoke such an incident to justify his move against Toranaga. Basic politics... in a struggle for power, the strongest candidate should be the first to take down.
“Though, I must say this childish outburst is typical of your clan” - Lord Ishido He has come a long way from chasing Godzilla to ruling Japan. My man is a Boss!
I love ishido's actor. He's more badass than his book counterpart. Has that villanous look in himself (funnily enough Toranaga is the true villain here lol)
@@rishavpaudel5021I feel like villain is the wrong word here. Toranaga is certainly ambitious; but the council of regents are also operating on their own goals, maintaining the status quo. Whether that’s good or bad depends entirely on your perspective. Tokugawa Ieyesu,Toranaga’s real life counterpart, seized power like a tyrant, murdered hundreds of Christians, and started Japans 200+ years of isolation. However, he also put a formal end to the warring states period, filled a power vacuum, stabilized the nation, and created a stable dynasty that lasted over 200 years.
Villain? Because he wants to take the country for himself and usurp his late master's legacy? Well, his master had done so himself to his own former liege, so what's there to complain about?
There’s a film called Sekigahara which depicts real life Japanese figures where most of these characters in this movies are based on. The guy that played Ishido in this series was also in the movie and played as one of Ishida Mitunsari (Ishido) commanders.
In the book the samurai's request to commit seppuku is denied. He is sentenced to crawl to his death, which will be by crucifixion, his swords will be broken and buried in the eta village. After he leaves Toranaga thinks to himself "He will born again samurai."
Shakespeare lived in roughly the same era as the late Sengoku period depicted in SHOGUN. From what I've researched, it seems Shakespeare's plays are performed in the English of his time, but since SHOGUN is ultimately entertainment, it need to reach a wide audience. The people who go to see Shakespeare's plays are undoubtedly well-educated and cultured. However, from a Japanese perspective, it would be disappointing if the samurai spoke modern Japanese. That being said, for Japanese people, watching dramas or movies set in medieval Europe where the characters speak modern English doesn't feel particularly odd or out of place, so it's probably a similar situation.
Phenomenal acting! I truly think this will be the role Hiroyuki Sanada will be known for for years to come, which is saying something considering all his iconic roles. Come check out our Episode reviews & join the discussion.
Since several of the characters in the show are stand ins for IRL figures, I think it's safe to assume that the Taiko they refer to is the stand in for Oda Nobunaga, the Daimyo and warlord who managed to united Japan in the Sengoku Jidai. I say this because when he died, his heir was also too young to rule and a regency council was formed in his stead, a regency council that was eventually dissolved when Tokugawa Ieyasu (Toranaga's inspiration) eventually seized power. EDIT: My mistake, Taiko was more an inspiration for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, NOT Oda Nobunaga. My bad
The Japanese were apparently imprisoned in their honour codes and local rivalries. Therefore the national administration became the most stable equilibrium condition, with larger empires tending to lose cohesion.
That's the real armour of toyotomi Hideyoshi in the background , the real life council were made of real life damiyo like Tokugawa Ieyasu , Uesugi Kagekatsu , Maeda Toshiie , Ukita Hideie and Mōri Terumoto to help Hideyori until he came of age after Hideyoshi's death In the end , Tokugawa Leyasu won and the Tokugawa Shogunate ruled Japan for the next 200+ years. Ishida mitsuri
How many in the real historical Council of the Five Elders were Christians? How important were Christianity and Catholicism in the real power struggle in the end of the Sengoku Period?
@@torogoz2001 none. Not important at all. Only one potentially may become one was Nobunaga, but he was assassinated so lesser warlords like Tokugawa has a chance to become Shogun.
@@torogoz2001 Hideyoshi had started a mild Christian persecution in his time, so there was never any chance for a Christian to have joined the Council. Tokugawa was the one who went all the way with the formal persecution, but it started in Hideyoshi's time. The most powerful Christian Daimyo at the time of Hideyoshi's death was his former general Konishi Yukinaga (a Catholic), but his role in the following conflicts was minor.
Dialogie and use of tension is amazing in this show. Its quite and alien world but it makes complete sense and you can absolutely feel these new boundaries and realities. The way all the samurai relax on Ishido's word, or the incremental escalation by first samurai putting feet in mat. Amazing show.
This perfectly depicts the passive aggressive bullying, fueled by envy, greed, and competition, that even occurs to this day in Japanese society. The noble and just are often ganged up on by the jealous even today. Well done!
I'm not sure if it was implied or not, since there are a lot of changes from the book, but this scene is actually more intense because of the background. The "minowara" insult was deliberate and planned, as agreed upon by Isido and Oh No (the leper), and the main target is Naga, Toranaga's youngest son, who is known to be a hothead. Ishido is willing to die if it ensures that Toranaga will die with him. Ishido is a lot of things, but one of his best qualities is his true loyalty to the taiko's heir. I think that is why he walks toward the Toranaga samurai's side when he exits. When the young samurai stood up, Hiromatsu (the old guy who brought Anjin san to Osaka) was ready to cut down the samurai since he and Toranaga understood Ishido's ploy. But the young samurai stopped himself. He was old Hiromatsu's favorite son-in-law (or nephew?) and it broke the old man's heart knowing the samurai along with his favorite grandson is now dead, because of what happened. Both he and Tora both vowed that Ishido would pay.
Best thing about this scene is how the audience is tricked to believe that Tadayoshi’s “childish outburst” is somehow forgiven after 4:27 with a relief of tension. Guards stand down and Ishido just says a few words about it casually and then moves on to the next topic. But no… we later find out that Tadayoshi committed seppuku and killed his only child. No biggie, it’s just what happens when you interrupt a meeting between dad and his colleagues.
The more I see of Hiroyuki Sanada in this show 🔥🔥the further my hope and prayers go that he is cast as Lord Shimura in the Ghost Of Tsushima movie!!!!!
Nah, 📚 reading books is not for everyone . ( I personally do like the book to ) Comparing the show to a book is not fair. A book leaves a lot for your own imagination .One should compare this show to the O.G. 80 version mini series Both are great 👍🏼 but this new version has more detail to the Japanese p.o.v ❤ 😊
I’m a big fan of James Clavell since Shogun was published (such a long time ago!). His other works like Taipan, King Rat, Noble House were gripping but I find Shogun the best. Plan to re-read Shogun before catching the miniseries.
No one seems to mention the powermove of him walking straight into the guard of his enemy. He knows they want him dead, they know he knows, yet he still walks straight into them. After denying them the right to kill themselves, that's prodigious.
After "Prey" I still want a Predator movie set in Feudal Japan with Hiroyuki Sanada as the Samurai turned Ronin, hunting the Predator that hunted and slew his liege lord. I mean, I want to give my money away to watch this!
I haven’t been watching this show, but why do I get the feeling that he made plans to have this guy shout something during the meeting just to fool the other lord into thinking he’s not making plans to go against them.
Does the way tadayoshi poses when he crosses the threshold resemble the theatrical poses of classical theatre in Japan to anyone else or am I tripping?
That was intense!
Please release the series on 4k blu ray when it's finished!!
Yeah, if you are easily pleased.
"The lady is no more a hostage in my castle than I am here, in this one." The brilliance of that sentence and delivery.
Almost a subtle threat. I love the writing
Yes. Both Toranaga and Ishido know perfectly well what the true situation is. But manners and protocol demand they maintain a facade of politeness.
Manners and protocol demand…

This perfectly depicts the passive aggressive bullying, fueled by envy, greed, and competition, that even occurs to this day in Japanese society. The noble and just are often ganged up on by the jealous even today. Well done!
I have no idea what this is, but this stumbled onto my feed, and looks amazing!
"Tokugawa Ieyasu face Toyotomi's regents"
Title fixed
Can't wait for more episodes love this show
This scene was so well made!
I'm not sure if it was implied or not, since there are a lot of changes from the book, but this scene is actually more intense because of the background.
The "minowara" insult was deliberate and planned, as agreed upon by Isido and Oh No (the leper), and the main target is Naga, Toranaga's youngest son, who is known to be a hothead. Ishido is willing to die if it ensures that Toranaga will die with him. Ishido is a lot of things, but one of his best qualities is his true loyalty to the taiko's heir. I think that is why he walks toward the Toranaga samurai's side when he exits.
When the young samurai stood up, Hiromatsu (the old guy who brought Anjin san to Osaka) was ready to cut down the samurai since he and Toranaga understood Ishido's ploy. But the young samurai stopped himself. He was old Hiromatsu's favorite son-in-law (or nephew?) and it broke the old man's heart knowing the samurai along with his favorite grandson is now dead, because of what happened. Both he and Tora both vowed that Ishido would pay.
The translation is not great, but the costumes and set pieces are fabulous.
The REAL game of thrones!
Hiroyuki Sanada's expressions are priceless.
Can't wait until I have time to watch this!
Best thing about this scene is how the audience is tricked to believe that Tadayoshi’s “childish outburst” is somehow forgiven after 4:27 with a relief of tension. Guards stand down and Ishido just says a few words about it casually and then moves on to the next topic.
But no… we later find out that Tadayoshi committed seppuku and killed his only child. No biggie, it’s just what happens when you interrupt a meeting between dad and his colleagues.
The more I see of Hiroyuki Sanada in this show 🔥🔥the further my hope and prayers go that he is cast as Lord Shimura in the Ghost Of Tsushima movie!!!!!
Great scene 👏👏👏
The series is massive, but for those of you who didnt read it, the book is 10x better.
Nah, 📚 reading books is not for everyone . ( I personally do like the book to )
Comparing the show to a book is not fair. A book leaves a lot for your own imagination .One should compare this show to the O.G. 80 version mini series
Both are great 👍🏼 but this new version has more detail to the Japanese p.o.v ❤ 😊
Don’t feel like reading wall to wall of words
You should probably mention there’s two more books lol
I disagree. The books have their own strengths. The show has its own strengths. Both are valid.
I’m a big fan of James Clavell since Shogun was published (such a long time ago!). His other works like Taipan, King Rat, Noble House were gripping but I find Shogun the best. Plan to re-read Shogun before catching the miniseries.
Samurai moment ⚔️
Feudal Japan was a serious place by standing up and speaking out of turn he ended his entire bloodline by his own hand
Brooo Hiromatsu was sweating knowing that Tadayoshi doomed his grea grandkid lol
What kind of camera work is this, where the edges are rounded and blurred?
It's a vignette
@@SciontheDark Thank you!
No one seems to mention the powermove of him walking straight into the guard of his enemy. He knows they want him dead, they know he knows, yet he still walks straight into them. After denying them the right to kill themselves, that's prodigious.
Great novel. This version plods.
Funny how historically Mitsunari (Ishido) is the reason why so many toyotomi vassals defected to tokugawa side
After "Prey" I still want a Predator movie set in Feudal Japan with Hiroyuki Sanada as the Samurai turned Ronin, hunting the Predator that hunted and slew his liege lord.
I mean, I want to give my money away to watch this!
Excellent first episodes. Clearly powered & influenced by Japanese filmmaking. Slow tense build up, not the Hollywood Tom Cruise crap.
Noticed the same thing
Hmmm.
Maybe I'll watch this.
Why one of the lords covered so much and even put a screen?
he has leprosy
@@Threshk Oh, thanks. I thought that lord is a women.
I remember the leper daimyo from the book. Cool thing they put him into this series.
They need to make a series for Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the Taiko himself.
これが受けるなら、大奥とか、他の戦国モノもヒットしそう…
織田信長の話とか、風林火山とか。
前作とだいぶ内容が違う。
今回のエピソードは、歴史に沿っているように感じました。
I haven’t been watching this show, but why do I get the feeling that he made plans to have this guy shout something during the meeting just to fool the other lord into thinking he’s not making plans to go against them.
Very interesting!
Does the way tadayoshi poses when he crosses the threshold resemble the theatrical poses of classical theatre in Japan to anyone else or am I tripping?
And sometimes later Tom Cruise come cruising down with a Gatling Gun
At 01:01 who are those behind the veil? Culturally speaking

That’s Lord Ohno, he’s a Leper.
He is one of the daimyos, Ohno Harunobu. He has lepers
@@johnle2918 Ah thank you.
I LOVE that line: "The Lady is no more a hostage in my castle than I am here, in this one." The threat is exquisitely veiled.
Wait is this supposed to be tokugawa ieyasu and the council of elders but why are all of their names so different
The series is based on the Clavell model, which is a fictionalized retelling of historical events.
2 episodes in this show is already a masterpiece
An excellent kabuki actor
Can wear his own face like a mask...
