Yeah thank you for the bummer no one asked for

@@warlockofbluecheesesmither2517 Thank you for the snarky comment no one asked for.

@@TokyoAlex Everyone was asking for my comment because you are a debbie downer.

Died penniless and riddled with cancer but there is more depressing parts of the story…….. yeah no thanks boss but thanks for bumming me out

What is the reason for remaking the 1980 series? Is the new version more historically accurate?

White girl with asian name, wow shame on your parents for forsaking their own rich heritage and history

Your parents did you a great honour Mariko is the key to Osaka castle

Lmao ok lady…. I’m sure you all are twins

Yeah it's true! They are coming across as very smart tacticians and players

They always were. They were the two that are the most cornered by the other pieces.

Def 3d chest

Yess🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Man i wanna play with 3D chests too

Ooh, thanks for this. Gives me a reason to go back to Kyoto.

Yeah I think she's been great in this role so far!

@@BrainPilot exactly

I think she's been updated for modern audiences. She's definitely lacking the character portrayed in the book. And I think they're doing it for modern viewers. But the whole Shogun saga is special because of how strange the Japanese customs were to the westerners, and how we would see them as strange today. A woman's duty back then would be considered crazy today, and so they want to betray women as they are today instead of how they actually would have been.

Yeah I'm really enjoying it too. Glad you enjoyed the video

Awesome! Thank you!

There were some theory as well that the reason Tokugawa Ieyasu (Toranaga) put Akechi Tamako (Mariko) under his protection is because he might conspired with Akechi Mitsuhide (Mariko’s dad) to betray Nobunaga. Nobunaga was such a cruel man that when he’s a top dog, he treated his own generals poorly. Akechi hated Nobunaga because Nobunaga led an invasion that got Akechi’s mom killed and also beat up Akechi a lot when he served Tokugawa (Toranaga) a rotten sashimi. Toranaga hated Nobunaga because Nobunaga ordered the execution of his first wife and son because he suspected Toranaga’s wife for plotting a rebellion. Both of them lost their loved ones thanks to Nobunaga so they might planned to rebel together but Toranaga double-crossed Akechi by running away, causing Akechi to commit treason alone and later got killed by Hideyoshi (the Taiko).

​@@nont18411 There's actually nothing to suggest that Oda Nobunaga was any more 'cruel' then any of his contemporaries, and in fact the Tokugawa were also known to be quite cruel during their rule as well. He was actually known to be quite generous with his generals, and treated them better then most of his contemporaries as he held merit over lineage. Furthermore, Nobunaga did not order Nobuyasu and his Mother's death, Ieyasu himself did when Nobunaga ACCUSED them of being traitors. It was his own decision, that he made on his own to keep his own Daimyo pleased. I would not doubt that Tokugawa could have been involved in the plotting, other then that it happened in such a way that left Ieyasu at a disadvantage, and targeted by the Akechi forces themselves and causing his 'fleeing through Iga' alongside aid of the Hattori clan. Had he been involved in the plotting, he likely would have been better positioned to beat Hideyoshi to the revenge and claim the power, but he failed in that regard.

That's how they are in the books. "So sorry" every other sentence lol

@@KT-ck3hlKinda, their so sorrys are often veiled sarcasm, the women clearly run things more than it appears, all through subtle manipulation and are kinda covertly badass in the books.

I'm starting to think this channel is voiced by AI.

You're still wrong. The name isn't a day like Monday.

Get a life

Haha, glad you enjoyed!

Yeah I totally agree with that! Definitely feels there's more to come from Buntaro

Yes he will come back and will almost have a fight with Blackthorn

But they are not related by blood. 細川護熙 Hosokawa Morihiro / Wikipedia 護熙は系図上の子孫に当たるが、養子を挟んだためにガラシャの直系子孫ではない。

​@@marimarihosp3035a blood may not matter at present day, but a name still matter. This practice has been adopted by big and wealthy Japanese family to continue family business, when they're no longer have a male biological heir. Or when they have a male biological heir but saw him as unfit to inherit the business

@@ameliad8055 政治ジャーナリストの細川隆三は細川ガラシャの子孫。 Hosokawa Ryuzo, political journalist, is a descendant of Hasokawa Gracia.

I think she was a coward who hid behind Christianity to escape sepekku

Mariko did not receive approval from her husband Buntaro for seppuku. Even though Mariko is a Christian her duty to family and feudal lord is more important. Without approval from husband or feudal lord she has no right to do such thing. Everything is written in the book

@@dhimankalita1690 You're wrong and you'll soon find out how and why.

... painfully ...

I can't get over how beautiful she is.

Yes, Hideyoshi is the Taikoo who died in early episode.

Yeah that's my bad! I'll remember that for the next time I say the name. Thanks for the heads up and correction!

Yeah she's great!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. I'm currently into the book now so it's great already hearing the extra layers of detail in all of the scenes. 'Hold your tongue' seems to be Blackthornes favourite phrase 😂

This version is very well done. Very enjoyable. It is done,however, from the perspective of the Japanese. The novel dealt with John Blake thrones journey from "barbarian" to " civilized". This version hasn't shown his attempt to learn the language and his struggle to understand the Japanese people and traditions. Unfortunately, it would take many more episodes to fully develop the many layers involved in the novel.

Yeah that's my bad!

@@BrainPilotHow you could even *entertain* the idea it could somehow make sense is truly beyond me.

Yes, I have read the 1244 pages of the Coronet paperback book, on many occasions... I felt that the 1980 version was much shortened from the book... I also think that this 2024 version has also been much reduced, but in different ways... I thought that the 1980 version was a good presentation, but not yet convinced that this new version has reached the same levels... So far ! ... Still, it has got some episodes to go, so let us decide when it is finished...

@@richardruff8712 I to have read the book and saw 190s version, 1980s Mariko is better but Blackthorne is better than Richard Chamberlain so far, Toranaga has a lot to live up to in the Mifune role but so far so good

@@Warrenthornton-therealtruth Yep... I have stated elsewhere :- If you ask 20 people of their opinions, then you will get 20 different answers... Here's my lot.... IMO, Chamberlain was better than Cosmo ( what a name ! ) then 1980 Mariko was FAR better than 2024 Mariko... Mifune was brilliant as Toranaga, but not yet sure about 2024 Toranaga... I sense he COULD be as good as Mifune... Definitely will have to wait to the end, to decide....

@@richardruff8712 Agreed the book is awesome recommend to anyone

@@richardruff8712 Agreed buddy

no, no, no… they need to show her more in my opinion 💯

🤓 And youre rude too. What a combo

Ride or not, he's right@@DylanJo123 and what's with the "suggestion" on what might be or not - there's a 128-0 page novel that pretty much tels what is going to happen, as well as the reasons for Buntaro and Mariko's marriage. She marriedBuntaro at the order of Goroda, in order to cement the relationship between the Akechi and the Toda clans.

@@Diva_D Couldn't care less about all that. He's a dick

Toronaga was perfectly played by Hiroyuki Sanada. The role should have gone to Fumi Nikaidô. Rinko Kikuchi is for comedy or adventure films.

@@mitjed Sanada wasn’t the problem. He was one of the few highlights of this show . Still, he can’t hold a candle to Toshiro Mifune.

@@mitjed Maybe Rila Fukushima. Rinko Kikuchi is fine in dramas. She is very good in "Tokyo Vice".
