Yabushige didn’t want a translator so that John wouldn’t know that Yabushige was serving John up to Ishido as a sacrificial bargaining chip to save his own life.
Hello Hax! Finally back on the RU-vid reviews after watching and catching up to Shogun. I’ve followed you since the Westworld days and I am so glad I’m able to take your awesome input on this great show.
Great analysis! I didn't even think about the angle of Torinaga being the one who really sent the shinobis. If that's the case, it really shows him as a master strategist of war.
Not flower, fallen leaves. What Mariko says to Ochiba about flowers is actually from the death poem of Gracia Hosokawa, the Catholic convert samurai that the character of Mariko is based on.
Mahalo for the awesome videos! Remember in Episode 2 when the Taiko reminisced with Toranaga that there was a time when Ochiba could have been betrothed to him? Also, before that, Toranaga & Ochiba shared a couple of glances?
Mahalo for the awesome comment, brother! It really feels like they have something between them, at one point I thought Yaechiyo was going to be revealed as Toranaga's child haha
Great videos, really enjoy your theories/analysis! Please make a video on The Sympathizer, it is just as good as Shogun IMO in terms of acting and production, would love your analysis on this mini series!
Well done.. appreciate iate in depth analysis and review. I like the Toranaga master plan theory. It is very fascinating story and your points on Ishido getting g played by Ochiba and then the villain, and not taking responsibility is well placed. Can wo.en in this culture even take responsibility?
They never explained why Mariko was not at her home raising their son, as the wife of a powerful samurai would be doing. Why was she hanging around Toranaga's place to begin with when she had no title or standing other than being Buntaro's wife? There are other Japanese that know Portuguese, Toranaga wouldn't bother his top warrior's wife with such duty.
Hexdogma you make the same mistake over and over. Nobody ever speaks English in this story. Blackthorn and all the Japanese are only speaking Portuguese.
Bro change the thumbnail please haha you are spoiling me (and probably others). I haven't been able to coordinate watching the latest episode yet with my family
@@HaxDogma Alright, that makes me feel better. Thanks Hax. Idk what got up Dan's ass today though. All I did was make a light-hearted request in order to maybe save some people from potential spoilers 🥲Eager to watch your vid once I finally am able to watch the episode.
@samlanganke1262 True, but they could have drawn it out more. At least I would have liked it if they had. But better one great season than 8 mediocre seasons, I suppose.
I’m also sad it’s not going to continue, the team behind this deserves more opportunities to create magic! But I also love the above comment, one book is one book. History is history. 🔥
When Yabushige said "certainly" to John towards the beginning of the episode, I said to my friend, who was watching with me, that this really translated to "Whatever". 🤣
