Now that I am all caught up, I would REALLY appreciate your recommendations about what other shows to react to (live-action and anime). As long as it is something I haven't watched before, I would love to watch it with you guys, so please leave a comment with your suggestions!! Thank you so much! ❤
Personally, I'd love to see you react to Fargo; If you haven't seen it, I think you'd love it. There was a movie before there was a TV show, but it's not essential to watch that first. Each TV season is (relatively) self-contained, with only very minor overlaps in storyline elements... If you enjoy Sci-Fi, I'd thoroughly recommend the remake of Battlestar Galactica. It's far more serious and engaging than you might imagine; you will definitely have a roller coaster of emotions.
Death Note and Spy Family are good recent animes, but maybe you've seen them already. Spy Family kind of blew up when I was last in Japan, so I'm still kicking myself for not picking up the manga. But I'm not always so smart in my headspace. 🤷♂
@laidareacts I should probably mention, in case you do watch them... The Fargo movie, while great, is optional for enjoying the TV Show, but Battlestar has a two-part 'mini-series'/movie pilot-episode that comes before the TV Show, and everything will be super-confusing for a long time if you don't watch that first... lol
I think the confusion you are feeling is by design. Toranga's vassals are confused, and the viewer is confused. The show purposefully makes us question Toranaga, in the same way his vassals are questioning him. It's great writing.
I think you are definitely right, now that I think of it! But while editing the video and saw myself so confused I kept saying "Laida you are so stupid, it was obviously his plan to mislead Ishido and the rest to really believe he has surrendered, why so confused", lol... But yeah, great writing!
Hiramatsu's seppuku was not a pre-arranged meeting with Toranaga. The relationship of trust built over several decades has been completed. This is a silent exchange between Hiramatsu and Toranaga. Whether Hiramatsu is a senior vassal or not depends on when and how he uses his life. He saw through Toranaga's plan and fulfilled his role. The whole thing was a ploy to make Yabushige believe that he would surrender and join his side.
yeah, I get that now! But while watching I was so confused, that everything went through my mind! But I really love your line "Whether Hiramatsu is a senior vassal or not depends on when and how he uses his life", it truly feels this way...
During the Warring States period, the issue was how to work for the lord. Even if it costs my life, it's a must. That is the main premise. During the Sengoku period, large armies of 20,000 to 30,000 people clashed. Of course there are circumstances. It will be a war of attrition for soldiers and supplies. Emphasis was placed on avoiding war through strategy. The battle between Toranaga and Ishido that occurs after this In historical fact, it was the Battle of Sekigahara between the Tokugawa army and Ishida army. I will omit the details. Ieyasu's army had about 70,000 soldiers, while Ishida's army had about 80,000. Finished in 6 hours This is because military commanders defected to neutral military commanders and the Tokugawa army.
You're not stupid at all, you're actually noticing quite a lot that others might miss. Don't worry if you still feel a bit confused, more will be made clear as the final episodes release.
I think no deaths were planned. His "defeat" is a trick but in order for it to work it must be REAL. Hiromatsu sacrificed himself because the other guy was about to draw his sword to attack Toranaga.
Είναι πολύ απλό ο Τορανάγκα παίζει το μακρύ παιχνίδι.Μην ξεχνάμε ότι στην Οσάκα υπάρχουν ως όμηροι μέλη πανίσχυρων οικογενειών που μπορούν να γίνουν σύμμαχοι του.οπότε ο Τορανάγκα θέλει να τους απελευθερώσει για να αποδυναμώσει με μυστικές διαπραγματεύσεις τον στρατό του Ισίντο. Άλλωστε και το σχέδιο του "πραγματικού Τορανάγκα " Τοκουγκάβα Ιεγιάσου ακόμα και στην διάρκεια της μάχης της Σεκιγκαχάρα προκάλεσε μεγάλες αυτομολήσεις συμμάχων του "αντίστοιχου Ισιντο" Ισιντα Μιτσουνάρι.Η Μαρίκο στο επόμενο επεισόδιο θα παίξει τον ρόλο του κατασκόπου και θα προσπαθήσει να ελευθερώσει τους ομήρους εκεί κάπου θα πεθάνει λογικά.Αλλωστε και ο χαρακτήρας που βασίστηκε η Μαρικο (Χοσοκάβα Γκρασία) την σκότωσαν με εντολή του άντρα της πριν την μάχη της Σεκιγκαχάρα για να μην ατιμαστεί.Οπότε όλο αυτό το θέατρο του Τορανάγκα είναι για να μπορέσει να βάλει συμμάχους του μέσα στην Οσάκα αναίμακτα, να απελευθερώσει τους ομήρους και να εκθέσει τον Ισίντο ώστε σιγά σιγά να κάνει τους συμμάχους του να τον εγκαταλείψουν ώστε όταν έρθει η ώρα για μάχη να κερδίσει με όσο το δυνατών λιγότερη απώλεια δύναμης για αυτόν!
Also, you might enjoy The End of the F***ing World (live action). It's only 2 seasons, eight episodes each. It's a little weird, but it keeps you hooked.
Actually Death note I watch just a few episodes a while back, so I would like to watch it again! I didn’t know the rest of the recommendations so thank you so much for commenting!
I know, right? His whole hate for the Portuguese is so minor right now! Although I strongly his naval and cannon knowledge will be vital in the coming war!
No, Hiromatsu's death wasn't part of Toranaga's plan. He figured out there was a plan only near the end. So far, the aforementioned plan doesn't impress me: for example, if Toranaga had told Hiromatsu about it, that clusterfuck wouldn't have happened.
look, from what I got now that I see things more clearly, Toranaga’s plan was to give the impression to Ishido and the rest that he has given up, he is broken and his whole clan is in confusion… so the events happening now help him with that! and as someone else did, Hiromatsu gave his life for the purpose, and that’s worth it… at least, that’s what I got
The reason you are a little confused is because it doesn't make tactical sense, but is very exciting to watch. This wouldn't happen in real life. Hence, the real Hiromatsu --Hosokawa Fujitaka, did not kill himself and was with the real Toranaga --Tokugawa Ieyasu, when he became Shogun.
no, unfortunately I haven't read the book... But I have really enjoyed the series so far, so if you are saying that the book is better, I might as well read it!
This episode could be called Buntaro's really bad day. The church and the courtesans, even in the face of certain death, Toranaga can find time to troll the Christians. He is a legend.

@fen3184 thank you for letting me know! I am actually planning to start with Fargo first!!

Now the question is... why hasn't Toranaga told Hiromatsu about his great plan, again?
Hiramatsu's seppuku was not a pre-arranged meeting with Toranaga.
The relationship of trust built over several decades has been completed.
This is a silent exchange between Hiramatsu and Toranaga.
Whether Hiramatsu is a senior vassal or not depends on when and how he uses his life.

aww, thank you so much! ☺️ I try my best! I can't wait for the final 2 episodes!!
I think no deaths were planned. His "defeat" is a trick but in order for it to work it must be REAL. Hiromatsu sacrificed himself because the other guy was about to draw his sword to attack Toranaga.
It wasn't arranged, Hiromatsu knew his Lord and took it upon himself to sacrifice himself.
and do you believe Hiromatsu did see through Toranaga’s plan, or was it just a way to protest?
@@laidareacts He knew what he was doing because he knew his Lord, he knew he always had a plan, always had a way out.
It's the most intense team meeting ever
hahahaha, they should opt for an email next time!! 😂
@@laidareacts yes a memo next time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 can't wait till next week and ya review
Would love to see you again next week, thank you!

Wow. Quick turnaround with this episode. Was hoping Kanaris would be back for this one, but it is what it is.
hahaha, yeah, I was hoping the same thing, but I am afraid you are stuck with me!
if you haven't seen invincible i'd recommend it, really great show!
thank for the recommendation, I will definitely check that out!
Also, you might enjoy The End of the F***ing World (live action). It's only 2 seasons, eight episodes each. It's a little weird, but it keeps you hooked.
Actually Death note I watch just a few episodes a while back, so I would like to watch it again! I didn’t know the rest of the recommendations so thank you so much for commenting!
It made me lose my breath. 😬😵😵😵
I feel you… lol
The power struggle among the Japanese has blinded me.
I feel that John Blackthorne has become unimportant.
I know, right? His whole hate for the Portuguese is so minor right now! Although I strongly his naval and cannon knowledge will be vital in the coming war!
No, Hiromatsu's death wasn't part of Toranaga's plan. He figured out there was a plan only near the end.

24:22 😂 Ikr
really didn't need to!! 😂😂😂
20:03 warrior (series)
thanks for the recommendation! 🙏🏼
It’s 10 episodes so 2 more episodes …
yeah yeah, I just got everything messed up at the intro!! sadly, only 2 more episodes 😞
The reason you are a little confused is because it doesn't make tactical sense, but is very exciting to watch. This wouldn't happen in real life. Hence, the real Hiromatsu --Hosokawa Fujitaka, did not kill himself and was with the real Toranaga --Tokugawa Ieyasu, when he became Shogun.
it was very exciting to watch, and I guess we owe it to the writers… truly a roller coaster
If you have read the book you can see how far off story this series has gone. Very disappointing.
no, unfortunately I haven't read the book... But I have really enjoyed the series so far, so if you are saying that the book is better, I might as well read it!
The book is excellent, but very long. Be prepared. About 1400 pages!
wow! thanks for the warning, when I have a little bit more time, I will definitely read it!
This episode could be called Buntaro's really bad day.
The church and the courtesans, even in the face of certain death, Toranaga can find time to troll the Christians. He is a legend.
hahahaha lol! exactly, Toranaga was having some fun!! and about Buntaro, jesus he managed to even make me feel bad about him!
This is such an emotional episode. Superbly done.
I know! I was tearing up and shaking so much towards the end!
