This Show is Beautiful! Shōgun 1x1 Reaction "Anjin" 

The Portuguese did not do what they did to protect Japan. They kept the location of Japan quiet to continue to profit from their trade monopoly. The route to Japan lay through the Strait of Magellen, and the Portuguese kept this quiet until the Dutch managed to find someone who was willing to sell the secret to them. The Dutch wanted a piece of the action, which would normally result in conflict, and it was made worse because in Europe, the Protestants and Catholics were at war. Thus the Japanese Catholics viewed Blackthorne and his crew as enemies. *Hint* pay attention to the relationship between the Japanese Catholics and non Catholics. Its important to the story.

What do you mean by Europeans of this age? Those are extraordinarily bold words to describe an entire continent of hundreds of different languages and cultures... Im assuming you have absolutely no idea of the foreign empires that have been invading and enslaving Europeans for over a thousand years, because nobody will teach you that in school. Not to mention the ongoing wars in Europe against the Ottoman Empire during this exact time period of the Shogun series.

that haircut's purpose is actually to keep the head cool when wearing crowns or kabutos (a samurai helmet) and one thing to note is when they're speaking english they're actually speaking portuguese we just hear it in english.

on the Protestants vs Catholics thing; they were having a world war between each other when this show is set

While contempt for colonisers is understandable and justified, character growth and cultural appreciation are important aspects of what this show is all about, and I hope you'll enjoy everyone's development over the remaining chapters.

Be careful not to romanticise and fetishize the Japanese, in your accurate condemnations of the Europeans at the time. Much as they clearly had a very sophisticated culture, the Japanese were equally brutal and cruel in varying circumstances.

Fief is the parcel of the overlord's land that a minor noble claims, works, and collects the bounty on, usually to pay tithes and taxes annually for the overlord. It rhymes with 'thief'. Just FYI. Love your reaction to this. You'd appreciate the book, too, if you like the show.

Hiroyuki Sanada (this actor you like :) ) was a big star in Japan long before he appeared in Western productions. He was also a producer for "Shogun" and one of his main goals was to keep the historical accuracy of the era and present Japanese culture as it really was, not as is often depicted in Western movies.

I love how it took just one conversation about Nabushige for the courtesan to clock what he was into 😂

I don’t really know what your mean by when Europeans went to Africa but when Arabs went they said the same things Europeans said lol that African was primitive etc

Omg I am so happy you are starting this series! 2 main reasons: 1 - I love your channel and your reactions but most of what you watch I don't watch so I only get to hang out here during Wheel of Time. 2 - I fxcking LOVE Shogun. It's one of my favorite books of all time and I even own the original miniseries from the 80s on DVD and I was so excited to see this remake coming, BUT I am currently boycotting Disney/Hulu because of the 🍉 situation so I was afraid I wouldn't get to see if it is actually good. But if you're watching it, I can seeeeeee!

Have you reacted to "The last Samurai" yet? (Tom Cruise, Ken Watanabe)

How do you starve to death with all the fish in the ocean?

I agree with you Hiroyuki Sanada is great in everything I have seen him in and I love how clever his character is in this show so far too bad he has enemies everywhere

Great reaction! Subscribed 👍🏽

Totally ignoring the English starting a global war against slavery because their great thinkers made it law in the empire that the trade of human lives was illegal. The English are the one people who can hold their heads high when talking about why slavery was all but eradicated

If you like Hiroyuki Sanada, look for "the twilight samurai" it would be an amazing movie for you to react to, it's funny and heart breaking and he is just superb in it.

Thank you, ma'am for this reaction. This by far is the most eloquent and funniest reaction of this series I have seen in the tube, I'm glad to have stumbled upon your channel and have subscribed and will look forward to your future reactions. And I agree with your points coming from a country who was both colonised by Spain and Japan. 300 years under the Spanish rule, the priests weren't really saints, they were even said to have raped women and fathered illegitimate children, all the oppression against our people treating them as inferior. This gave rise to rebel uprising and eventually were overturned by the masses, only to be conquered yet again by another coloniser, Japan. They too did rape and pillage our land and women. Not to mention they also did oppress their own. Then there was also the Americans. But among these foreign colonisers, at least Japan through their Emperor gave a formal apology to our country. This may have been a political but move, but we appreciate the gesture. There is history to remind us of these atrocities and we can only acknowledge them and move forward.

Since speaking of colonialism and the term "colonizer", have you ever heard about the indigenous Aino people in Japan and the Japanese colonisation of Hokkaido island? Did you know they still are oppressed? Did you know that the Japanese colonised Japan around 700 BC, replacing the indigenous populations on the mainland? Did you know that shortly before the time this show is set, Japan invaded Korea not only once but twice with goal of subduing it and China? A goal they never gave up with time, leading up to the invasion of China and Korea during ww2 and all the war crimes and attrocities that followed? Point is, you seem very judgemental towards the Englishman in this show, his skin color and what not, yet you it seems like you have this romantacised idea of the Japanese as pure and inocent.

a reaction that I like, I'm from South America (my English is very bad), and I didn't like the protagonist at all, and the majority of reactions defend the "English", and I don't know, not to mention a reaction that seemed very racist, but at the same time she seems politically correct, whatever, but I'm going to like the protagonist, it seems that they are going to develop him very well, and his vision of the world is going to change, I was surprised when he saved some people on the boat
