If anyone’s wondering where the rest of the episode reactions are, I’ve decided to leave them as Patreon exclusive reactions due to how it performed on RUclips. I definitely didn’t intend on turning this into a Patreon exclusive reaction initially. I just don’t want to post something that could hurt the channel performance overall. Regardless, I LOVED this show and am so happy I watched it!
youve had several other show and movie series do worse on ur channel. Starting a series then stopping the uploads on youtube because it didnt live up to ur standards is weird.
Hiroyuki Sanada isn’t just the lead actor he’s also one of the hands on producers on the show. He wanted an absolutely accurate depiction of 1600 Japan, so he brought on historians and experts in Japanese etiquette to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for that era. Plus, Hiroyuki is not only one of the best and most charismatic actors around but with his world class sword fighting and martial arts skills, he’s practically a samurai in real life. They literally couldn’t have picked a better person for the job.
Sananda-san was also a strong voice in the production of 'The Last Samurai' - and a lot of other Hollywood movies that portray Japan. He always fights for a more accurate portrayal of Japanese history and culture in whatever he's involved with, volunteering as a consultant to work with the producers and directors to make the production more respectful and accurate.
Toranaga treats Anjin like his favorite hawk. Tires him out, keeps him confounded by blinds and jess, and feeds him from his own hand. In this way, he creates a weapon no other regent has. The book makes the comparison more obvious.
Like Natalie said, one could also argue that Toranaga himself is like the falcon. He told his son about how it conceals itself against the sun while looking for the perfect moment to strike at its prey, and he himself is concealing his true intentions/secret heart from everyone while looking for the perfect opportunities to make his moves.
34:03 Edo was a major city during this time, some even calling it "the capital in the East" while Kyoto was still the original capital being the palace of the Emperor. It would soon become one of the largest and densely populated cities in the world: Tokyo. So...yeah, what he is saying is a big deal.
One little note: you said that Toranaga was taking a risk on John's life when he was put in the prison. Nope. He was one step ahead. In the book, we learn that Toranaga had men in the prison to protect the Anjin & to lead him to meet the Spanish priest. Toranaga knew about the priest, but couldn't touch him because the priest was the Taiko's prisoner, so out of bounds for anyone else. He killed 2 birds with one stone.
This is a series in which multiple watches per episode are necessary...and worthy of one's time. Yes, this miniseries is that good. Great reactions. Looking forward to seeing the remainder of episodes completed.
You're hooked! As an English Literature Major, and Japanese Religion and History Major I'm obsessed despite the iteration and intentional allegory of the history of the story.
In the 1970s and 1980s, television miniseries were huge events that were fully part of the national consciousness. Roots was probably the most famous of all, but Shogun was an enormous success as well. North and South, V (which became a series as well), The Winds of War / War and Remembrance, Lonesome Dove, and The Thorn Birds were others that were extremely famous at the time.
I was obsessed with V. Mom liked The Thorn Birds. I also remember Bangkok Hilton being pretty big. The theme song for Winds of War still plays in my head from time to time.
Women of Samurai families were often taught martial forms of combat from early childhood. The weapon/polearm she picked up is called a Naginata which women were particularly trained in. In trained hands it can be a devastating weapon in combat even when outnumbered. While most women in the Edo Period of Japan had absolutely no agency those from high born bloodlines were extraordinarily gifted in politics and were very often very very influential advisors to their Lords
The book is great (I've read it several times) and the original miniseries is pretty faithful to the book. This new series has been updated a little to be more historically accurate but overall I feel it does a good job at telling the main narrative~ I'm just glad the new series has created so much hype for a book that I love~ Thanks for giving it a go~
The cool thing about all this is that this story is based off real life events. And I love how close to detail they have gotten. Even have the beautiful graceful walk, the women do. It's like they are floating.
I suggest also watching the original, which is even better (for its time). Ive studied Japanese for 3 years at University and this series is pretty good. Not accurate at all, but you get a good feeling of what it was like in terms of social components. Also Hatamoto means he is a member of the personal staff of Toranaga which is an insanely high honour
I can remember watching the 80s miniseries with my parents (Love you mom 💔) and its an amazing show!! Hiroyuki Sanada has driven the development of this and DEMANDED it be kept as accurate as possible for 1600s Japan! They're even speaking a more formal version of Japanese than what is typically spoken today :) You're in for a treat with this show :)
In the book and the original miniseries Yabu's ... execution ... of that sailors goes on for FOREVER. It was called "The Night of a Thousand Screams" and its mercifully brief in this! 😂🤣😂
I watched the mini series a few times in the 80's while I was a kid. I don't remember much, but remember the excitement when watching. I'm so happy to see this new version as an adult and having those same feelings. Glad you're reacting to this great series. Was waiting for your video ❤
I don't think a show has been able to capture people's attention this well since maybe Game of Thrones or The Boys. You can tell that the showrunners and whole crew put real love into making this as authentic as possible.
This show really is something special. I have to watch each episode twice, which I am super cool with. Once to get to grips with the story and subtitles, the second, to marvel at the sheer beauty of if all.
I also liked Yabu in this remake. Great character. In the original series he was portrayed by Frankie Sakai. You should watch the "old" adaptation as well. It's worth it. Seeing Mifune Toshiro at work is just a delight. *edit* Almost forgot John Rhys-Davies (Gimli from LotR) as Vasco Rodrigues. Also, worth the watch!
I also got emotional at Buntaro's scene on the harbour. I wasn't remotely attached to his character or story but the sheer respect and honor between him and his Lord in that moment was beautiful. The strength his wife showed was heartbreaking.
What I like about this series is that it’s based on historical events. There was an English sailor who landed in Japan who did indeed became a samurai and helped shaped events due to his influence 🤔
Your comments on the theme in the 1st episode (only one I've seen so far) of facing death are spot on, actually. I hadn't thought about it but it's touched on very frequently in the episode in all of the storylines. Rather humourously you even have the Catholic priest (?) facing away (ie unaware) of his own death.
At the risk of repeating another post, Hatamoto translates to Banner Bearer, basically it is a vassal that stands next to the clan leader under his banner in time of war, making Blackthorne the highest ranking person other than Hiromatsu, the old guy who is Toronaga's general
This show got me so hooked in the first 2 episodes that I went and bought the book, I've almost finished it, and I'm really looking forward to the final 2 episodes of the show. As someone who doesn't like sub shows, this show has kept me so engaged and left me wanting more with every episode.
Just finished this finally. I have Japanese family and they gave this a thumbs up. Such an impressive production. Great acting. Great story. Great illustration of an insane society trapped in a cycle of toxic protocol, ritual, and blind obedience.
TBH I am a huge fan of the 1980 Mini Series. This series is well done, but the additional information of the original makes much more sense at what is happening in the show. As a side note I actually learned to understand and speak some basic Japanese, as Mariko was teaching Anjin-san in the original.
Toranaga's real historical counterpart, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was a lieutenant of the "Taiko" Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who had risen as high as he could in Japan, but didn't have the proper lineage to become shogun. Instead, on his deathbed, Hideyoshi asked Tokugawa to look after his infant son until he came of age and could take command. Tokugawa agreed and then essentially held the child as a prisoner while he consolidated his own power in a bid to become shogun. Tokugawa made the promise to Hideyoshi with no intention of letting the son rule. A heated war broke out between Tokugawa's new allies (the East) and those loyal to Hideyori, Hideyoshi's son (the West). The deciding battle was the Battle of Sekigahara with 15 more years of siege containment of Osaka Castle and the Toyotomi forces before Tokugawa finally won undisputed control of Japan and gained the title of shogun (having been born within the Minamoto family tree, unlike Hideyoshi).
I'm hooked on the show, the official podcast is also worth listening to about how they put the show together and level of care and love for the original material and to make it as authentic as possible.
In the 80's mini serie all the scenes where Japaneses speak amongs themselves are not subtitled or translated in order for the audience to feel like the main character: lost in an unknown coutry!
A spy performs seppuku in a...dramatic fashion. He was the third of three. After the first 2 are able to perform with a 2nd, the last guy asks his opponent to act as 2nd.
Blackthorne isn’t trying to claim Japan for England. He works for the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to open up trade with Japan. Historically, the VOC indeed displaced the Portuguese for the next few hundred years.
The Captain-sama's ship and crew are likely in as much danger as Blackthorn because they helped Toranaga escape. Osaka would be a bad place for them to be for a while.
Your stuff is so well done the edits and the fact that I love your reactions 🤙🏽I’m so proud of my Asian stars really shining I saw the original and read the book in high school 😂
You probably won't, but you also should watch the old miniseries. I like it more in several points compared to the new series (John and Mariko's relationship and Rodrigues for example), though the new one definitely looks better. Let's see how this one turns out towards the end.
“Yes. But there are mitigating circumstances. Serious miti-” “There are no ‘mitigating circumstances’ when it comes to rebellion against a sovereign lord.” “Unless you win.” Toranaga looked intently at him. Then laughed uproariously. He said something to Hiro-matsu through his laughter and Hiro-matsu nodded” Excerpt From Shogun James Clavell This material may be protected by copyright.
I read the book when I was in high school circa 1994. Read it every day in geometry class. My geometry teacher let me read during class as long as maintained an A. I finished the book half way through the semester. 😉 To this day it's my all time favorite book.
I highly recommend the HBO series Tokyo Vice about an American journalist who gets involved with the Yakuza world. It would also be great to see your reaction to the film The society of the snow.
Most od the highborn samurai ladys are trained in Combat. When the Men a gone, the ladys must defend their homes. The favourite Weapon for this ladys are the naginate, a swordspear like poleweapon.
If you would like a different view of the samurai ethics and duty try "*When the Last Sword is Drawn" and "the Twilight Samurai" . Both are excellent movies I think you would enjoy.
Love your reactions. And if you like Yabushige. The actor Tadanobu Asano acted in Ichi The Killer. You gotta watch that one. It is bizarre and super violent. He stole the show
the best is it was written well as Book and Good Film Maker Can make a cool Movie or series. most modern Series have no Good Story arc. the haunted hill House was so Good because the Complete story too. look Game of thrones After there was no source Material it crashed. shogun had history Part but even written as Fiction.
Hi natalie. I was touched by your reaction of UP. May i recommend you Star trek movies? JJ abrams ones are a good start. First Contact is the peak of all Star Trek Franchise

If anyone’s wondering where the rest of the episode reactions are, I’ve decided to leave them as Patreon exclusive reactions due to how it performed on RUclips.
I definitely didn’t intend on turning this into a Patreon exclusive reaction initially. I just don’t want to post something that could hurt the channel performance overall.
Regardless, I LOVED this show and am so happy I watched it!
Well, i guess i'm not watching it.
Oh... Well that sucks.
Well that’s devastating
youve had several other show and movie series do worse on ur channel. Starting a series then stopping the uploads on youtube because it didnt live up to ur standards is weird.
@@unculturedswine2154 And there's no reason to continue a practice that hurts the channel
Hiroyuki Sanada isn’t just the lead actor he’s also one of the hands on producers on the show. He wanted an absolutely accurate depiction of 1600 Japan, so he brought on historians and experts in Japanese etiquette to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for that era.
Plus, Hiroyuki is not only one of the best and most charismatic actors around but with his world class sword fighting and martial arts skills, he’s practically a samurai in real life. They literally couldn’t have picked a better person for the job.
I heard he also stayed in a Best Western hotel before.
The tiny innaccuracies that do appear are so benign as not to matter, it really is a great accomplishment.
Sananda-san was also a strong voice in the production of 'The Last Samurai' - and a lot of other Hollywood movies that portray Japan. He always fights for a more accurate portrayal of Japanese history and culture in whatever he's involved with, volunteering as a consultant to work with the producers and directors to make the production more respectful and accurate.
If anyone could walk in the footsteps of the legendary Toshrio Mifune, who portrayed Toranaga in the mini series, it would be Hiroyuki.
It’s so cool that you were invited to check out the red carpet premiere of the first episode. Hiroyuki Sawada contributed a lot into making this show.
He is really proud of this show and that was enough for me to check this out
In a time when most modern television and movies are found wanting, Shogun is an absolute breath of fresh air.
Finally one of my favourite reactors watching Shogun!
Toranaga treats Anjin like his favorite hawk. Tires him out, keeps him confounded by blinds and jess, and feeds him from his own hand. In this way, he creates a weapon no other regent has. The book makes the comparison more obvious.
Some fav parts were Yabu being a madman.
Machiavellian as hell
Yep And Mariko is the falcon
Like Natalie said, one could also argue that Toranaga himself is like the falcon. He told his son about how it conceals itself against the sun while looking for the perfect moment to strike at its prey, and he himself is concealing his true intentions/secret heart from everyone while looking for the perfect opportunities to make his moves.

The cool thing about all this is that this story is based off real life events. And I love how close to detail they have gotten. Even have the beautiful graceful walk, the women do. It's like they are floating.
As far as I can tell, this is the most authentic representation of ancient Japan ever put to film.
@@hafor2846 🙄 lol sorry, EDIT “representation of end of Azuchi-Momoyama Period Japan.”
I suggest also watching the original, which is even better (for its time). Ive studied Japanese for 3 years at University and this series is pretty good.

I am SO glad you're watching this. It's been so amazing.
Hell yeah! Nat’s watching Shogun.
Yabushige is easily my favorite character😅 his facial expressions sure everything you don't need to know Japanese to understand
I love how he and the anjin have a whole relationship that's entirely built on the bro code.
What I like about this series is that it’s based on historical events. There was an English sailor who landed in Japan who did indeed became a samurai and helped shaped events due to his influence 🤔
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Shogun!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
A superb new miniseries based on my favourite novel 🎉
Oh man, so glad you’re doing this one. It’s sooooo good!
The opening scne of episode 3 skyrocketed my respect for Toranaga through the roof.

Absolutely loving this show so far. 3 episodes in. 😊
Loved your commentary and reaction to Shogun. Will be back for more. Keep up the great work.
I'm hooked on the show, the official podcast is also worth listening to about how they put the show together and level of care and love for the original material and to make it as authentic as possible.
Great stuff - you are SO the right person to react to "Shogun!"
I appreciate you and thank you for making content.
Such a great series, would recommend seeing Akira Kurosawa's "Kagemusha" (produced by George Lucas), or even the classic, Seven Samurai.
_Ran_ is also a must-watch
In the 80's mini serie all the scenes where Japaneses speak amongs themselves are not subtitled or translated in order for the audience to feel like the main character: lost in an unknown coutry!
‘Shogun’ was the first book I’ve read that was over 1000 pages.
A spy performs seppuku in a...dramatic fashion. He was the third of three. After the first 2 are able to perform with a 2nd, the last guy asks his opponent to act as 2nd.
Blackthorne isn’t trying to claim Japan for England. He works for the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to open up trade with Japan. Historically, the VOC indeed displaced the Portuguese for the next few hundred years.
I have read the book many times since I first did in 1975, one of my favourite re-reads.
Shogun was filmed on Vancouver Island in Canada.
The Captain-sama's ship and crew are likely in as much danger as Blackthorn because they helped Toranaga escape. Osaka would be a bad place for them to be for a while.
I started following you for some time, I love your reactions and videos, I'm glad you react to this series.
Your stuff is so well done the edits and the fact that I love your reactions 🤙🏽I’m so proud of my Asian stars really shining I saw the original and read the book in high school 😂
This is among the best shows of 2024

Such a good show....and....Mariko 😍😍
I can’t wait for the reaction to episode 4
I read the book when I was in high school circa 1994.
Read it every day in geometry class.
My geometry teacher let me read during class as long as maintained an A.
I finished the book half way through the semester. 😉
To this day it's my all time favorite book.
PS- I still have my original copy of the book.
I wonder how they will deal with the hare stew or if they will even include that scene.
Hi natalie, i was Wondering if u ever watched, inside out fron disney Pixar, Its so good
Whenever I see them throwing the guy in the pot, I can't help but think of the Bugs Bunny cartoon where he's being made into soup.
I was so disappointed they didn't use the original soundtrack.
I highly recommend the HBO series Tokyo Vice about an American journalist who gets involved with the Yakuza world.
It would also be great to see your reaction to the film The society of the snow.
Always remember the falcon comment. No person but Toranaga knows what Toranaga has planned.
Any chance you're doing the rest of the season?
hi wavy was mini series in 80's was awsome =0
The editing at 21:48 was so freakin' funny. Spat water all over the computer screen, hahahaha. I never noticed that. XD
I love how every important decision Balckthorne makes in the show starts with a good old British F*ck it.
Most od the highborn samurai ladys are trained in Combat. When the Men a gone, the ladys must defend their homes. The favourite Weapon for this ladys are the naginate, a swordspear like poleweapon.
In my top three all-time favorite novels. I’ve read it three times.
Check out the Oysters Clams and Cockles podcast for their coverage too
Please keep reacting to this series🙌🏻🙌🏻
Where’s part 2 🥹😭😢
Yup.
hi natalie. if you like shogun then you should try the netflix animated show called blue eyed samurai.
If you would like a different view of the samurai ethics and duty try "*When the Last Sword is Drawn" and "the Twilight Samurai" . Both are excellent movies I think you would enjoy.
Love your reactions. And if you like Yabushige. The actor Tadanobu Asano acted in Ichi The Killer. You gotta watch that one. It is bizarre and super violent. He stole the show
the best is it was written well as Book and Good Film Maker Can make a cool Movie or series.
most modern Series have no Good Story arc. the haunted hill House was so Good because the Complete story too.
look Game of thrones After there was no source Material it crashed.
shogun had history Part but even written as Fiction.
Natalie Goldmine, where is part two? How come you bait me like that?
She posted it is being paywalled due to performance
Is there ever gunna be a part two?
I love how in the close caption they put (in english) but they are supose to be speaking portuguese 😂😂
Please, please watch “Saltburn” and “Bottoms” when you get the chance!!!
How weird is it that Bill Wurtz's "Entire History of Japan, I Guess" makes me feel like I understand the politics in this series.
Very weird
Hi natalie.
I was touched by your reaction of UP.
May i recommend you Star trek movies?
JJ abrams ones are a good start.
First Contact is the peak of all Star Trek Franchise
She should watch the JJ movies after the OGs.
i hope hulu makes fkin BANK with this. trust must be rewarded
Yabushigas facial expressions are the best....but probably needs to work on his 8 fold fence
lets enjoy the journey...
fuji is 😍
Read the book in the '80s and maybe 2 or 3 times since then. I have only one complaint. (you did not do the chair spin/reveal) 😁
For information sake, the Heir is not the Taikos natural son. The Taiko was sterile, so after his first child with Lady Ochiba died.
She had sex with a peasant wood-cutter whilst out horse-riding.
Toranaga caught up with her later and was suspicious.
Lady Ochiba is the sister of Toranagas oldest sons wife.
Where's part 2?
Oh I am SO PUMPED you’re watching this!
Fuck yes I’m so hyped you’re doing this show, it’s incredible
Love this Show..❤❤
I suggest you watch the ORIGINAL Shogun Mini-Series...it was much better (not that the new one is bad, just lesser story handling).
