"One worships the Pope, the other worships the pipe"
ROFL, amazing

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.

24:49 "So you DO believe in pointless death" is a reference to Episode 1 when Toronaga said he did not believe in the pointless death of Fuji Sama's husband and son

Wow you guys are so poetic in your breakdowns 🤙🏽 I saw the original as a kid in the 70s back then the writers left out the subtitles so we learned the culture with Blackthorn 😢 this is so much better can’t wait for the next one 😂

[@SutekhDaSteemroller]

The fits are straight fire dread!

17:05 I swear, Toranaga really did them dirty. The courtesans deserved a better class of neighbor.
21:15 And yeah, HIromatsu really let it all hang out in this episode.

[@alcor4670]

Man's got guts, that's for sure.

[@ZAPIZOOLIO]

great reaction as always, thank you

[@RaKnows]

He got bodied in the battle because Mariko is really her, but "The sound of rain on the leaves, can be heard" is a bar that keeps coming back to my mind.
