Masterpiece of a show
Btw, if yall confused, I think the official Shogun podcast confirmed Blackthorne never left Japan and the Old Man visions you see are more of a dream than anything.
Anjin: I've been using YOUUU.
Roshi got it right, the dream of a dream is the imaginary future of Blackthorn if he had left Japan. As you might know by now, most of the characters are based on real people, Blackthorn is William Adams the Mirua Anjin. Adams was the first englishman to arrive in Japan in a botched trade mission sponsored by the dutch. The events of the series happens, more or less, with some artistic freedom, Adams trains the Japanese in canon tactics and promises to build western type ships for Tokugawa. When the Tokugawa shogunate was established, by that time, he was allowed to leave Japan, but he never did. He remained an advisor of the Shogun for the rest of his life, he was responsible for foreign trade with the Dutch and the English, and did some exploration/trade missions in Asia. He died at 55 near Nagasaki.
Toranaga gotta be one of the biggest, coldest tricksters in history. He's playing 4d chess while everyone playing checkers.. having Mariko as his queen sacrifice for the final gambit. All for his true plan to become shogun. What a wild series.. very well executed in the show from the book
I just realised, this whole story is basically showing how Japan entered the Edo period, two centuries of peace under the Tokugawa shogunate
Blackthorne never returned to his home country, the flashforward was just an illusion
The scene with Fuji and Anjin spreading the ashes is so special in so many ways, but most notably
This show has been one of the few shows where there were no weak characters. It better win hella Emmys.

The man Blackthorne is based on (William Adams) never left Japan, the 'dream' first appears when he is unconscious, after the explosion, its a dream or its Blackthorne's dream/wish of how he wants his life to end, back in England surrounded by family, but when he is about to commit seppuku it flashes to the 'dream' again like he's giving up on that ending because he's going to kill himself in Japan. Great, great show, give it all the awards especially Mariko's actor Anna Sawai!
In Ep 9, Mariko and Ochiba were using poetry to speak in secret. This is why, when Mariko said " Flowers are only flowers because they fall", that was the code phrase for Ochiba to send to Toranaga pledging to keep the Heir's army off the field. Why use poetry? Toranaga gave the reason when he asked "have you read it?" Clearly he knew ANY correspondence between him and Ochiba would be read. And it was since Toranaga apparently noticed the poem had been read. Mariko's death gave Ochiba the reason to write to Toranaga, on behalf of the Heir, exclaiming grief over the death of Toranaga's vassal Mariko. In reality, the poem was confirmation that the Heir supported Toranaga's claim as Shōgun, and anybody reading the message wouldn't be the wiser. This show is incredible. The book, so far, is just as amazing!
"Why tell a dead man the future," is Toronaga telling/boasting to Yabushige that he will be Shogun in the future. It was Toronaga acknowledging that it is what his plan/goal is without revealing his secret heart. Perhaps that was what the shared smile was about.
"What kind of man can wield power in a place like this?"
Just realized Mariko planned to commit seppuku at sunset which is also when the sky turns crimson. Her and Toranaga are real ass poets
Anji and Fuji scene "burying" their pain together torn me to pieces holy crap man
The flash forward wasnt real, it was blackthorns "Dream of a dream", William Adams the guy who Blackthorn is based on spent the rest of his life in Japan.
Roshi is one of the few on KZhead who actually know how to make a reaction video
This was a perfect show imo. My favorite part of it was the cast, there really felt like no weak characters from a writing or acting perspective. Specifically Yabushige and Fuji ended up being my favorites. I think Fuji in particular deserves more attention for her amazing character progression leading to a satisfying conclusion for her story, and the actress was among the strongest to me.
