I love that Toranaga just openly admits he just genuinely likes hanging out with Blackthorne and that’s why he keeps him around. Dudes just doesn’t want his homie to leave😭
Can't deny Yabushige's actor performed masterfully and it was absolutely worthy of an Emmy award and Fuji’s comment on Blackthorn being the last hands to hold Mariko was a call back to episode 1, when Fuji’s son was to be killed for her husbands disrespect. When Fuji’s son was to be taken away, Mariko intervened and told them “Let her hands be the last to hold her son.”
A dream of a dream. Blackthorne never reached 'home' never died an old man in Tudor digs with grandchildren, with pale blue eyes. He was holding Mariko's crucifix. That was 'buried' at sea with Fuji's husband and son.
Yeah, when I saw Blackthorne looking at Toranaga in that last scene, I didn't need a translation to know that Blackthorne just accepted his fate and stayed in Japan for the unforeseeable future. Toranaga clearly wanted a BFF and went to extremes to keep Blackthorne nearby while Toranaga climbed his way to the top of the Shōgun... Crazy.
Yabushige giving his last last last will made me laugh so much , such a complex and unintentionallly funny character
actually the historic john blackthorn, William Adams sent money to his family in england for the rest of his life, and when he died he split his estate between his english and Japanese families. So yes he did pay his child support.
Read Shogun back in the 70"s and loved it. Recently married, when I heard the 1980's TV miniseries of Shogun was going to be aired, my wife and I went out and bought, on credit, our first tiny portable color TV in order to see it in color. It was worth it! Now I own a huge color TV and am so glad to have lived long enough to see this remake of Shogun. I think that over time both versions will be honored as great cinematographic achievements, classics to be treasured.
The actor who played blackthorn, man the face expressions he makes, once he knew that Mariko is no longer by heside man, just makes a man tear up
Toranaga mastered the art of war. He appeared weak and feeble and feigned compliance, when he was ready for war and itching to fight. He prepared for the fight in such a manner that the war was already won before he ever drew a blade. He manoeuvred scorned nobles in such a manner that made their vengeance equal decisive blows that sowed division amongst his enemies. He played disloyal vassals so they thought they were playing him, but he was in control the entire time. He deliberately antagonised his son by revoking titles a duties in order to spurn on compulsive behaviour. This WAS deliberate. He confirmed as much we he thanked his dead son for buying him time. Despite the loses, everything was moved by the hand of Toranaga. Even down to his continued outright denial of wanting to be shogun, like his ancestors. Every move he made was to pacify his enemies into believe he was less of a threat than he actually was. Appear as if you are weak when you are strong. Acting sick. Arguing with his council. Watching his friend kill himself in protest. Hiding away from the public eye. Everything was done to portray a weak and feeble man who had given up and accepted defeat. Until Mariko exposed Ishida for what he was. A weak coward who used women and child as hostages to threaten the rest of the regents into compliance. Once that was done and the heirs mother sent word to Toranga, the act was no longer required. The war could be fought in earnest because he had already won. All the chips had already squarely fallen on his side of the table and his hand was matching set royal flush. the title of shogun was basically already his at this point... Masterful display...
