Mariko's father wanted to kill the murderous Taiko. He knew what the consequences would be so before he did so he married off his prized daughter whom he wanted to someday restore their family's honor. To ensure she survived to fulfill her father's plan, he chose the best fighter in the clan to protect her: Buntaro. Buntaro loves Mariko but he's frustrated by the way she wants to commit seppuku. His mean and brutish, warrior demeanor unfortunately just doesn't make him a good husband. If Buntaro was a kind, understanding and loving husband, he'd have a chance at changing her mind about death.
saying that he should respect their colture when they murdered an old man for nothing, while making fun of the cooking methods of his colture is wild and unhinged. your biases show ...
I think Corey's right about Toranaga's chuckle regarding Fuji's dad's swords.😂
He has to know about that sword. lol
Ochiba went to Edo to assist HER SISTER who was having a baby. Her sister is married to a lord in Toranaga's clan.
That’s right. Makes sense
In their culture at the time, commiting seppuku was the only way to restore honor.
I have to know who was the first person who came up with that tradition. 😵

He’s definitely a complex character.
