I've watched a hell of a lot of movies and TV in my forty years, but I don't think I've ever seen a more nuanced and heartbreaking example of facial acting in my entire life. Hell, his face acting (and acting in general) throughout the series is simply sublime. I feel a little bad for Walton Goggins that his exceptional role in _Fallout_ had to come in the same year as _Shōgun_
The look that crosses Lady Ochibas face when Daiyoin dies was a brilliant move by Fumi Nikaido (Ochiba). With that one look she demonstrated how controlled the character is. She went from genuinely heartbroken to hiding behind the eight fold fence in about 2 seconds. She really did love Daiyoin.
@@Haplo-san ikr. I always say that dubbing takes a big dump on the original vision, if you're too lazy to read you shouldn't be watching in the first place. I've watched subs my whole life growing up in a small non english speaking country so it's the Americans turn now lol
It messed me up when Hiromatsu sacrificed himself. 😢 I heard Sanada, the actor who plays Toronaga, said the man who played “Hiromatsu” played the perfect embodiment of what a true samurai was about….
In the first episode, Toranaga said "I don't approve of all this pointless death" to Hiromatsu regarding that guy that decided to end his bloodline for acting out of line at that meeting. I think Hiromatsu knew that Toranaga would have stopped him from committing seppaku if he were really giving up. And him saying "so you DO believe in pointless death" was Hiromatsu's way of letting Toranaga know that he knows he's faking and realizes his death wouldn't be "pointless."
Someone also pointed out that Toranaga said to Hiromatsu that Crimson Sky was a "pointless death". Their bond is so deep that they understand each other even when they talked in codes. So he basically, said that the plan is in full effect. Toranaga just needs a great selling point to which Hiromatsu offered to do that part.
I'm commenting from Japan. In Japan, there has been a long-standing tradition of expressing feelings through poetry since ancient times, whether through letters, poetry gatherings, or other means. I'm delighted that you're interested in this aspect.
Hiromatsu didn't know about the plan, but he knew Toranaga well enough to understand what he was doing and what he'd have to do to make the plan work. He needed the other vassals to believe that Toranaga was defeated. Remember in the last episode when the madame Gin asked Toranaga why he would leave his weakened garrison exposed and she guessed he was up to something. Toranage realised that is she suspected he was playing a trick, then his other enemies would too. He knew he needed to do something to make everyone believe he was giving up. Nagakado dying gave him time and an excuse for losing heart. Then Hiromatsu took his own life because if Toranaga was willing to let his oldest friend and right hand man die, then he must surely be accepting his defeat.
The reason why Toranaga ordered a tea house to be built next to the church was so that the insightful Ogin could keep an eye on the church's movements. Not out of spite.
It's also a matter of city planning with class division in mind. While "Oiran" are better regarded than common prostitutes, they are still sex-workers. They don't rank that high in society. Neither do foreigners (in particular due to religion. The Japanese powers of the time tried their utmost to curb the spread of religion while still having trade with Portugal and Spain). You can't have a church and a red light district right next to the castle, where the ruling body would live, or it's immediate surroundings, where higher society would live. There is a bit of a time issue compared to real history as well, since the red light district was founded in 1617, 3 years after Catholicism was outright banned by Tokugawa (the inspiration for Toranaga), and all the priests expelled.
I do agree for the most part, but I have no doubt Toranaga would have deeply relished the ironic humour as well. Especially given what he says to Yabushige in the final episode, that the main reason he kept the Anjin around was because "he makes me laugh". Also remember that one scene of Toranaga bantering with Kiri no kata early in the series. Toranaga does have a sense of humour; we just rarely see it because of the bleakness of the events involved in the series
It's made clear Buntaro loved Mariko in the early years of their marriage but she always resented him because of her family trauma and then in turn he began to resent her for her resentment and so forth until they both basically hated each other though we see here Buntaro always hoped they could be happy together
I think Buntaro's action toward Mariko is also due to the custom. Mariko's family betrayed their lord, which is considered to be great taboo. So Buntaro can't show any affection or any action that might hinted he support her family's action. Due to his honor as a samurai, he has to be mean to her even though he love Mariko. At least that is how I interpreted it.
You guys are great. I've been a huge fan of the show since the book. Then the original miniseries. I love this one, I don't like a lot of reactors, because they generally don't know or don't really care what they're looking when it comes to historical drama but I like when you guys figure it out add some of the observations you've had have helped me
@@okbye6250 I think 9/10 times reaction channels are just ppl talking over dialogue and asking dumb questions so its nice seeing channels where ppl pay attention.
Hiromatsu didn’t commit sepukku on Toranaga’s orders. Rather he realized that Toranaga needed an ally to defect to give the illusion to Osaka that Toranaga is truly defeated. However 3 of Toranaga’s generals refused to sign the surrender treaty. Realizing this, Hiromatsu took the moment away and decided on the spot that he will be the one to sacrifice his life for Toranaga’s plan. Rather than losing 3 generals, Hiromatsu ensured that Toranaga only loses 1.
That's how you write realistic characters! I absolutely hate black and white characters, in real life no one is truly 100% evil or 100% good. Everyone is the hero of their own story.
It ain't' just the acting. The story itself shows how the poor sod became so violent. This makes him more human rather than some cardboard villain making it easier to feel sorry for him.
@@belldrop7365 That's the amazing thing about the whole series: I don't think there's a single named character who you could describe as one-dimensional.
This story is based on real historical figures, with the character "Toranaga" modeled after the most famous Japanese warlord of the Sengoku period, who later became Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate. Tokugawa Ieyasu's greatest achievement was the development of Edo, which was once just marshland, into the largest city in the world at the time, known as the world's first "million city." Additionally, Edo had advanced infrastructure such as sewage systems, making it one of the most progressive and hygienic cities of its time. Currently, Tokyo has the highest GDP of any city in the world, with New York City in second place. Since Tokyo was originally called Edo, it can be attributed to Tokugawa Ieyasu's efforts in building it from scratch. Tokugawa Ieyasu enforced a policy of isolation, cutting off all foreign interactions except with the Netherlands. Japan became a land closed to foreigners for two hundred years, during which remarkable cultural developments occurred, such as ukiyo-e (woodblock prints), Noh theater, and Kabuki, leading to a cultural renaissance in Japan. Subsequently, during the Meiji era, Japan rapidly modernized its military, winning the First Sino-Japanese War against China and the Russo-Japanese War against Russia, eventually expanding its influence over vast territories in Asia. All of these achievements were made possible in part by the legacy of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Fantastic episode that threw many viewers the wrong way but you seemed to have got it. It all connects to the "third heart" explained in an earlier episode and not revealing your intentions to ANYONE, even those closest to you. You can still be betrayed out of love and the best intentions that do not have the desired effect. Nobody knew what Toranaga was planning, including Mariko. Hirumatsu only caught on at the last moment. He knew he must commit seppuku as his duty. Crazy and very contentious from the Western perspective.
I'm going to take it hard for this. While there's never an action that would excuse physical violence toward your spouse (unless you're defending yourself) we should remember that Mariko "pillowed" Blackthorne very, very soon after her husband's apparent death. I'm not defending Buntaro, I'm just saying he's not the only one who crossed a line. If Mariko had "died" and Buntaro went right to bed with Fuji (or someone) we'd all think he was a dog. Be kind when you lambast me. 😉
For occidental people that's not the same type of line. Beating your companion is far worse than quickly pass on to someone else after the death of your companion.
Buntaro deserved every bit of this disaster of a day for him. Any reconciliatory act he tries will never make up for hitting her. And Buntaro's father even told him he deserved the same treatment. I think Mariko's father only chose Buntaro because he was one of the greatest warriors of the clan guaranteeing that Mariko would never be killed before she could restore the family name.
Hiroyuki Sanada during the seppuku scene is a masterclass of acting. Absolutely ripped me when they did that close up on his face and you can see how much that hurt him.
While Ochiba has mixed feelings about Lady Dayoin, she was in her feelings and her sudden switch in affect was likely just her retreating behind her own eightfold fence.
the old man messed up when he saw the real plan of his lord and told the other generals that his lord plans to fight....his sacrifice was needed to make everyone believe he is defeated!
Hiromatsu called an "audible", the plan was to have the "unfaithful" generals commit sepuku, Hiromatsu saw an opening where he would die and allow them to unite behind Toronaga
False. He made it known at the end here that Mariko IS his plan. Not his already depleted army. His defeat had to look real for her move to work. Having more generals turn on him would've made that even more real. His bff just got in too deep before realizing what was going on and eventually had no choice but to follow through or risk ruining the plan. The old whore ended up being smarter than him. At least she had the sense to be like "yeah you're right my bad what do i know im just an old whore" and leaving before losing her own head last episode.
No he didn't, Hiromatsu death was planned by Toranoga before the meeting. He knew some of his subjects would object and not sign the loyalty pledge. He knew that when they wore armor to his sons funneral.funeral. Hiromatsu death was all pre-planned
@@nataliestclair6176 I disagree, in the book Toda Hiromatsu livedvand enjoyed the victory they had won, however. Who is more important, a prized General and friend with few warriors or a dozen Generals with thousands, Hiromatsu saw an opportunity to further the cause knowing that his sacrifice would spur on the other generals
It messed me up when Hiromatsu sacrificed himself. 😢 I heard Sanada, the actor who plays Toronaga, said the man who played “Hiromatsu” played the perfect embodiment of what a true samurai was about….
@@lzniR I thought that but it's not explicitly shown. And also as far as plan's go the sacrifice of the people aound Taranaga, seem's less than inspiring leadership, you my minions will die, but I will be Shogun Yay'
Damn I expected every nanosecond that something would intervene to interrupt the seppuku scene, and I was heartbroken that it wasn't. The show did a pretty well job to make us like Toranaga just to remind us that he is a calculator willing to sacrifice his best friend for his plan :(
In the scene where he is decapitated from seppuku in the drama "SHOGUN Shogun", the head is completely cut off. This is an exciting production, but it is not real. He didn't cut off the entire neck, leaving only one piece of skin. So the head fits in your arms. However, even if you are a vassal, you will not cut your stomach without the order of the lord. This drama is entirely fictional.
hello, i just want to know.. can you do a reaction video for kdrama that viral rn? its called lovely runner. it has good story line and i bet you guys will love it. thank youu🫶🏻
I love you ladies for having some empathy for the male characters here. I mean sure, Buntaro, or any man for that matter, should not beat their wife. But as the flashbacks and the conversation in this episode shows, Mariko-sama never wanted her wedding into the Toda clan from the start; and despite learning her father have arranged it, the damage from their dysfunctional relationship and years of misunderstanding has taken their toll and the relationship is at a point where its more or less beyond repair. End of the day, Buntaro is actually the ultimate Mariko-simp.
Nothing to really do with the ep... but there must be a talented DJ out there in the H&K fandom that can take the first .2 seconds of this video, make a beat with the Kiss "YEH" and in the 4th measure insert "MORTAL KOMBAAAAAT" just food for thought
Blackthorne did no such thing - all he did was implicitly challenge him to a drinking contest, which Buntaro participated in with full fervour - but even if he did, you're not seriously suggesting that it makes Blackthorne an accomplice to Mariko's beating, are you?
@@rhonafenwick5643 It was unintended, but by getting Buntaro drunk, yes he is an accomplice. Blackthorne himself realizes this and thus accepts Buntaro's apology.
If I can recommend another fantastically written show that somehow exceeds the confines of its IP: Andor. It has a LOT of people from both Game of Thrones and Chernobyl and is written by Tony Gilroy who wrote Michael Clayton. Don’t let the Star Wars setting discourage you; it is fantastic on so many levels beyond that
That seppuku scene alone proves that Hiroyuki Sanada deserves every award.
The amount of layers he put in that performance is insane.
I've watched a hell of a lot of movies and TV in my forty years, but I don't think I've ever seen a more nuanced and heartbreaking example of facial acting in my entire life.

Edo is now known as Tokyo. And the castle he built is what we call the imperial palace in Tokyo's center. Worth paying a visit 😊
You could almost consider this a spoiler tbh if you didn't already know that

Tokyo is ugly and without soul or spirit, Osaka should have remained the capital.
Kyoto was the first capital, the new capital, Neo Kyoto, Kyo-----To, To---kyo, lol

Toronaga never intended for Hiromatsu or Nagakado to die, like any master chess player, he pivoted to take advantage of the board as it sits

One of the best episodes of the season.
The purpose of the ancient Japanese tea ceremony is to create bonding between the host and guest and also gain inner peace.
