He didn't kill his dad. Seppuku, if you read the actual accounts, is extremely painful. The second who hacks the head off is there to give relief to the pain.
Tell me that you don't love me without telling me you don't love me. Mariko: I would sooner live a thousend years than die with you like this. EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Devastating scene. No warrior could overcome Buntaro -- he even survived certain death. Only to be cut down by Mariko with just a few well chosen words. This show is incredible.
This is one of my very favorite scenes, it’s so powerful. Beautiful, dramatic, painful, overwhelming and yet made within such a calm and peaceful set up and choice of words. I understand Buntaro is one of the best of the best samurai’s, but he wasn’t a good husband, he was cold, harsh, aggressive, she was never happy with him, her words “I struggle to remember clearly” just tell us everything about their relationship.
But after this, I think Buntaro reflects on himself and even made peace with Anjin. He became a stronger person than he had ever been, thanks to his late wife.
Ha, it was before that. He said "we were happy" and she blinked once. Which clearly said "You're delusional, mate, haven't you noticed that I keep wanting to stab myself to get away from you?"
This is one of the most heartbreaking scenes that i've ever seen. Buntaro's actor is really superb, most of this show's actors are. No swords, no kills, no violence, but you feel like your heart was crushed watching this.
@@DonFatherTrumpi get what u are saying but he literally beat her up. No way in hell should we expect her to go along with his plans if he does that to her.
@@royshavrick He was asking way too much of her and deserved the cut down she gave him. I can't imagine how he thought it would have gone any other way.
This was sincerely, a stunningly beautiful scene. The tea ceremony was performed so precisely. From the flower arrangement to the calligraphy on the wall. Then for Mariko to offer a verbal slash to the jugular. To a warrior who could not put up a defense, for he knew he was wrong. This is his find out moment. They both delivered a powerful performance.
They cut the part when Buntaro broke down and cried in this clip. I agree with you though, a woman like Mariko sure knows how to break a man without violence.
@@vincentdc211 Because Buntaro had been a perfect husband incapable of any wrongdoing until that point, right? It would've hurt but it's not like she doesn't deserve to treat him the same way. 🤷🏻♀️ He literally shot two arrows at her head in a drunken rage....
How could I forgot. The second time Buntaro tries to do the honorable thing, but even an elegant cup of green tea 🍵 cannot repair the years of abuse Mariko has endured. He could have given her a new life years ago, but he did not fill the empty in her heart. So in spite of their current rather dire circumstances, the gap between them is far too wide to bridge.
@@lalboimanlun1230yeah but what he did was pretty unforgivable, he did feel bad for it of course which makes him more human but still, it's not gonna make up for it.
I like how they only had Buntaro bring up sepoku after asking Mariko if she still had feelings for John to emphasize how jealous Buntaro truly is. That the sepoku offering is not out of love, but out of the fact that he couldn’t live to watch his wife have eves for another man
@@nunyabusiness3516 He didn't treat her worse than any other husband would at that time. Also it was a public secret she was banging the Anjin. Everyone knew. Just nobody said a thing about it. And she humiliated him. It's not that the beating made her hate him. She hated him for not allowing her ritual suicide. And when she finally got to hear it wasn't actually him but her father through Toranaga she still wouldn't budge her position.
@nunyabusiness3516 It's implied that the abuse was a reaction to years of her cold indifference and disdain towards him. Also her having a rather public affair with a foreigner. Doesn't make it ok to resort to violence, but his anger is not at all unwarranted.

Episode 8 was an emotional experience. It was deep on so many levels and the title was poignant. The refusal from Mariko cut Buntaro deep and his fathers call for denial cut him even further. The way of Bushido was carried out in a total act of loyalty to ones lord. This is, without a doubt, one of the best depictions of feudal Japan in an historical context.
Hiromatsu wants to save his son from further anguish, but Lord Toronaga is wiser. This is why Toronaga tolerates the relationship and even acts to aggravate it by introducing the gaijin barbarian. Mariko utterly despises Buntaro, and uses Anjin-san as a tool to torture him mercilessly. This unending misery aids Buntaro in his quest along the bushi-do, by making him eternally furious and longing for death. Thus he becomes a formidable samurai warrior.
So sad the writers decided to kill hiro-matsu instead of a « noname » samurai like in the book. This tea scene was great, in the book she refuse more because of is duty for her lord (toranaga asked her to go to Osaka.) and it make the scene better. In this show scene she seems mean.
@@jejelerider3278 I think both changes serve to impact the audience deeper than what the original story does, to be honest. You feel empathy for Buntaro in this scene, it gives both characters more depth.
He obviously did love her but one kind gesture doesn’t make up for years of abuse and denying her the death she wanted. A shame he didn’t have more scenes, he was perfect for that role. The most beautiful scene with him was the interaction between him and Toranaga in episode 3 when Toranaga escapes Osaka. WOW! 👌
I think it's a testament to how men think that it was both yours and mine. We find beauty in loyalty and death where women don't. They would gravitate toward a scene between John and Mariko I believe.
I think why this offended Mariko so deeply is that she likely longed for a happy relationship or her own death for long before blackthorn came into her life. So, to see buntaro only offer her respite as a way to control her probably really drove her mad. He asks first about blackthorn, and upon hearing her silence, he offers death. It was the last control her had over her. She saw it for what it was.
Tea Ceremony is always so deep, so ethereal. I've received tea ceremony twice during my time in Japan. Both times, the ladies who performed it were elegant, graceful, wonderful!
The development for this two characters is really good . Both actors gives strong performances in every scene . I can't wait to watch the final two episodes of the series , is going to be sad and awesome ⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️ .
0:06 The kanji (Chinese characters) on the scroll hanging on the wall reads “柳绿花红”, a Chinese expression that translates to "willows are green, flowers are red."

It reflects the appreciation for the changing seasons and the beauty of the natural world.
Buntaro: This is all for you (Masterclass Tea Ceremony performance) Mariko: You think that a cup of tea is going to change my mind! Like, really sir??! 😅
This scene is so tragic because this just sets in how broken and hopeless this marriage is. A possessive and abusive husband whose ego over years kept denying his wife the only desire she ever wanted and a wife who was never interested in her marriage. I’m kinda glad they took this approach with Buntaro’s character because if he was exactly like his book character, I’d have been advocating for someone to slit his throat every episode.
To me, this was one of the saddest scenes of the series so far. So much bitterness and hopelessness in their "marriage." I do think Buntaro is culpable for all the abuse he put Mariko through: he is an oddly competent jackass. But I also felt pity for him here.
Yah there’s something so tragic about them. He does love her, but shows it in all the wrong ways, if at all. She resents him for his actions, but deeper than that, she resents the marriage itself and lack of choice. Doomed from the start.
Buntaro is how he is because of Mariko. She never loved him and let him know every day of their marriage by having a stone cold face all the time. She hated him because of her own inability to see why her father made sure she was sparred. He became how he is acts towards now because of having a no love wife constantly ask to be allowed to kill herself but now it’s oh your too stupid to see I just wanted to be rid of you. This episode is the first time I finally feel bad for buntaro and now hate how self centered mariko has been this whole time. Very tragic writing and believe even John deserves better than her.
@@andrewalvarez4975 Okay Buntaro maybe deserves a little pity, but lets not forget that he did physically abuse her. Meanwhile she had no choice in the marriage and never wanted it to begin with, so I don't see how she's "self-centered" for not being in love with him.
I love that he shows classic abusive husband / domestic violence aspects throughout this show. They characterised him VERY well. Hes not one dimensional, though they could have easily portrayed him that way. I thought they did a great job with his character and i hope it helps other women in DV situations to recognise their situations and take courage to get out.
Wow . How well done . Both of them . She is so beautiful. He played it great. I have a 3 day stop over in Tokyo this winter on my way to Bangkok. It will be amazing. 😊
That scene, was probably the most hard for me, mainly because of the way that acting was done in this scene. Big props to the actor that played Buntaro, that was a top-notch acting, even if you hate that character throughout the show, at the end you cant hate him, you feel his pain and the actor made sure that we would feel it as well.
The scroll on the wall would have been chosen by Buntaro to suit the occasion. It says 柳緑花紅, "the willow is green, the flower is red," which is a quote from the 11th century Chinese poet and intellectual Su Shi. The full quote is 柳緑花紅、真面目, which means more or less "The willow is green, the flower is red, things are they are is the truth," which is a perfect encapsulation of his attempt to be honest with her backfiring as she is just a honest with him. Things as they are, indeed.
He was emotionally and verbally abusive to his wife. And Mariko destroyed him in the most graceful and poetic manner. No crying, nor cursing, nor bitchy lines. Honestly one of the greatest scenes I've witnessed and most empowering ones, especially for abused wives. Anna Sawai, if they don't give you awards... I'll be damned.
What many swords couldnt do Mariko did with a few words and gestures of respect. A hardened warrior like Buntaro could also cry 😢 😢😢 Many of such scenes in Shogun which are priceless.
Why did they cut the last shot of Buntaro crying? That was THE meme! Even though he was a despicable character, I feel sorry for him. That's how great the script was written and the actor killing it! #awesome
Buntaro had many faults no doubt, but not loving Mariko with is whole heart and soul was not one them..He failed to. understand her at the atomic level. The actor who played Buntaro was excellent, I cried to see his pain and confusion.
Toda Mariko's best quote: "Do not be fooled by our politeness. Our bows, our maze of rituals. Beneath it all we could be a great distance away. Safe. And alone."
So many people missed the entire point of why Mariko denied him his offer of performing seppuku together It’s the same exact reason Hiromatsu instructed his son to stay alive It’s because Buntaro is a prized samurai of Torunaga’s clan and his skills in battle will be absolutely critical in the coming fights. To lose him would be a devastating loss to Torunaga’s forces
Mariko's father was killed by Taiko , She wouldnt just killed herself like that She has a duty to avenge her father and her clan. and She is willing to be used by Toranaga even if it cost her life as long its for the purpose is to destroy Taiko's clan. I also watched the 1980 version and also apparent in this series Mariko loves John Blackthorne , but she chooses her duty 1st.
a little background and spoiler in the novel Mariko's death in Osaka caused division in the council and many daimyos switch to Toranaga's side. and the novel is basically based in this novel a copy paste in fact of Japanese History specifically to the 3 great unifiers.
This is a very important aspect that some here in the comments section fail to see. The series is trying to depict the culture that was authentic to that period and it will not seem acceptable for modern (especially Western) society. While Buntaro had a lot of wrongs, he still did his duty to his Lord by staying loyal to him and his wishes.
The most vicious act of brutality I've ever witnessed in any work of fiction is just a few words spoken in an utterly tranquil tone during a tea ceremony. Put this in Mortal Kombat as a finisher and call it "zengeance".
The moment i saw her i was hooked on the show She is stunningly beautiful I read some fool saying shes pretty but not a good actress I think she was a marvelous actress I couldn't have liked her character anymore
In retrospect, knowing what happens in episode 9, i suspect she was sparing him a delayed broken heart, knowing full well her burden in the Crimson Sky gambit.
Does anyone know the name of the music playing in the background. It elevated and intensified the emotional weight of this scene so much, I keep coming back to watch it repeatedly.
@vincentdc211 I didn't say he had no feeling. Yeah I bet it did hurt to have the consequences of his actions. That's life yet seeing that he would continue in his suffering and eventually she may be his wife but she's not his and he knows it. So why not try to regain his honor and his wife by taking her to death with him. But it wasn't done for her. That's why she wouldn't. I don't fault him for trying tho.
It baffles me that people are defending Buntaro as some poor guy who wants his wife to love him, but here's the Mariko doesn't owe him anything, including her love. It was an arranged marriage that Markiko's father arranged. I think Mariko would've respected and cared for him more if he hadn't called her entire family "filthy", get jealous of his son, or worst of all hit her. If he really loved her, he wouldn't have done those things and he spared not out of kindness but out of him not wanting to let her go. In the end, Buntaro is putting himself through this rejection and pain for trying to make someone love him back, it would be easier for him just to divorce her and move on.edit: ok if you guys want to sympathize him that’s fine as I get despite his wrong doings he’s a someone who is hurting a lot but regardless, I don’t think anything justifies him harming a spouse that’s all
He is also a samurai who has seen and survived some sht so you cant expect him to act normal especially when some of the things he got out of loyalty is seen somewhat as an insult. You forget that during these times, one's self is less important than their master's. He is wrong on a lot of things, but to characterize him as purely a horrible person is very one-sided.
He loved her, albeit in a twisted and possessive way. It doesn't meet your modern definition of love between equals, but he has the legal right to execute his wife for her infidelity and he chooses over and over again to spare her and attempt to win her affection. I agree he should've divorced her long ago, it would've saved them both a great deal of heartache. Perhaps his samurai mindset is too determined to make everything in his life bend to his will, even if that's a human being who will simply never return his feelings.
@@user1029xspl8dy You are probably right about how the samurai mindset made him have this hold over Markio but still he has a mind of his own and some of his actions are against the samurai codes like having self-control which Toronaga called him out for when he beat Mariko and disrespect the house of a hatamoto. In the end, even though samurai has these codes to keep them in character in the end they mostly follow codes that benefit them like bending things to their will. I understand you are trying humanize Buntaro which he's not all bad and good but I think when you use a "soldier mindset" as a coping mechanism for them to deal with life and battle it is fine, but not when is used as an excuse to hurt others who haven't harmed you, as soilders have a mind of their own, they choose how to react or respond to things
she looked down on him from the beginning, before their wedding she considered him inferior. she couldn't believe her father would marry her to someone of such low status. it turned out to be a ploy to save her life after her father betrayed his lord. buntaro had no reason to be happy about any of this. he was a brave and loyal warrior with an earnest heart who deserved better than a loveless sexless marriage to a betrayer's daughter who looks down upon him
@@Navak_ I don't think she looked down on him, she just thinks their marriage wouldn't benefit her family that much. Plus if she really didn't love Buntaro just because he was a lower status then why of all the men she fell in love and was kind with was someone who they consider a barbarian. Sure, Blackthorne has the title Hatamoto but in the end to the people of Japan, he is still an outsider who is considered a barbarian even Toronaga still thinks of him like that despite the title he had, hell Blackthorne even against Mariko's faith yet she was falling for him. You might be right how she looked down on Buntaro, but in the end, what led her to resent him more was the way he treated her and if it bothers him so much, he could've divorced her. They don't have to like each other but they could at least respect each other which Mariko tries to but it not enough as Buntaro want her to love him back.
I feel sorry for him. By the standard of the time and place, he was a great person. A loyal vassal who was willing to give his life for his lord. A very skilled warrior who can fight his way out of death's jaw and shoot arrow while being drunk. He followed every social expectation to the highest degree, including bowing in the street to apologize to his host for causing trouble. A cultured man who knew poetry and art of tea. We judge him for beating his wife and being xenophobic, but those are par for the course given the time period. Was he really worse than, say, Blackthorne who raided the Catholics? As far as we know, he did it out of hatred and prejudice.
I realize how Buntaro behaved to his wife all the time. Buntaro might rape Mariko and he always said harsh words to his wife that mean he destroyed her pride and Mariko hated him after all.

Her: I would sooner live a thousand years than be your girlfriend.
This was like watching a single swordsman being mowed down by a heavy cavalry charge
More like a gd mini gun.
To me, this was one of the saddest scenes of the series so far. So much bitterness and hopelessness in their "marriage." I do think Buntaro is culpable for all the abuse he put Mariko through: he is an oddly competent jackass. But I also felt pity for him here.
Yah there’s something so tragic about them. He does love her, but shows it in all the wrong ways, if at all. She resents him for his actions, but deeper than that, she resents the marriage itself and lack of choice. Doomed from the start.
Buntaro is how he is because of Mariko. She never loved him and let him know every day of their marriage by having a stone cold face all the time. She hated him because of her own inability to see why her father made sure she was sparred. He became how he is acts towards now because of having a no love wife constantly ask to be allowed to kill herself but now it’s oh your too stupid to see I just wanted to be rid of you. This episode is the first time I finally feel bad for buntaro and now hate how self centered mariko has been this whole time. Very tragic writing and believe even John deserves better than her.
文太郎の涙は、妻にしてきた態度と行いを悔いてるでは！
@@左近-u8i Japanese has language for apologies: Sumimasen!
@@andrewalvarez4975 Okay Buntaro maybe deserves a little pity, but lets not forget that he did physically abuse her. Meanwhile she had no choice in the marriage and never wanted it to begin with, so I don't see how she's "self-centered" for not being in love with him.
I think they are made for each other. They both know how to create pain for each other like no one can.
I was wondering why the tea room looks very familiar. I just realized it looks very much like Sen no Rikyu's Taian in Kyoto.
I'm so glad we got a tea ceremony. This show is amazing.
Him crying was actually heartbreaking!
I love that he shows classic abusive husband / domestic violence aspects throughout this show. They characterised him VERY well. Hes not one dimensional, though they could have easily portrayed him that way. I thought they did a great job with his character and i hope it helps other women in DV situations to recognise their situations and take courage to get out.
Wow . How well done . Both of them . She is so beautiful. He played it great. I have a 3 day stop over in Tokyo this winter on my way to Bangkok. It will be amazing. 😊
The acting in this show is so good, both Shinnosuke Abe and Anna Sawai completely disappear into their characters.
That scene, was probably the most hard for me, mainly because of the way that acting was done in this scene. Big props to the actor that played Buntaro, that was a top-notch acting, even if you hate that character throughout the show, at the end you cant hate him, you feel his pain and the actor made sure that we would feel it as well.
This scene was subtle yet intense.
Bro survived a whole army for this EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
The scroll on the wall would have been chosen by Buntaro to suit the occasion. It says 柳緑花紅, "the willow is green, the flower is red," which is a quote from the 11th century Chinese poet and intellectual Su Shi. The full quote is 柳緑花紅、真面目, which means more or less "The willow is green, the flower is red, things are they are is the truth," which is a perfect encapsulation of his attempt to be honest with her backfiring as she is just a honest with him. Things as they are, indeed.
He was emotionally and verbally abusive to his wife.
And Mariko destroyed him in the most graceful and poetic manner. No crying, nor cursing, nor bitchy lines. Honestly one of the greatest scenes I've witnessed and most empowering ones, especially for abused wives.
Anna Sawai, if they don't give you awards... I'll be damned.
Wish they would’ve kept that song/sound from 00:58 for the whole scene…….
Perfect scene
On one hand he’s a jerk but on the other hand dang that had to hurt.
I would definitely bring Buntaro with the boys to Vegas after that!
That's the most elegant way to say 'die alone' I've ever heard.
You know very well even the Sixth Heavenly King Oda Nobunaga will choose to be burned down in Honoji Temple, rather than getting wreck like this.
Script-writing and cinematography at its finest
That tea making was asmr 😮
What many swords couldnt do Mariko did with a few words and gestures of respect.
A hardened warrior like Buntaro could also cry 😢 😢😢
Many of such scenes in Shogun which are priceless.
His model is Tadaoki Hosokawa. One of his descendants became Prime Minister of modern Japan.
(Morihiro Hosokawa)
Ancestors, you mean. But nice fun fact!
"The worst she could say is no"
best show 2024
The link verse poetry Buntaro and Mariko recited to each other, and the music here are soooo good! 🥺💗💗💓
I feel so bad for Buntaro; give my man a break for God sakes. He's been through a lot.
Why did they cut the last shot of Buntaro crying? That was THE meme! Even though he was a despicable character, I feel sorry for him. That's how great the script was written and the actor killing it! #awesome
Buntaro had many faults no doubt, but not loving Mariko with is whole heart and soul was not one them..He failed to. understand her at the atomic level. The actor who played Buntaro was excellent, I cried to see his pain and confusion.
should've been longer, missed the part where he cried
The show Buntaro is a lot more likeable than the one in the book. BookBuntaro even kills his own mother.
Toda Mariko's best quote: "Do not be fooled by our politeness. Our bows, our maze of rituals. Beneath it all we could be a great distance away. Safe. And alone."
Hi guys. Any news about this song? 0:59
I've been dieing to know as well!
with all of the violence that this show displays, this was the one scene where I literally said out loud "man that's brutal".
So many people missed the entire point of why Mariko denied him his offer of performing seppuku together
It’s the same exact reason Hiromatsu instructed his son to stay alive
It’s because Buntaro is a prized samurai of Torunaga’s clan and his skills in battle will be absolutely critical in the coming fights. To lose him would be a devastating loss to Torunaga’s forces
You missed the point.
@@tomatodo375 did I? Care to enlighten me then?
Because trust me I’m completely up to speed on the varying reasons they resent one another..
Mariko's father was killed by Taiko , She wouldnt just killed herself like that She has a duty to avenge her father and her clan. and She is willing to be used by Toranaga even if it cost her life as long its for the purpose is to destroy Taiko's clan.
I also watched the 1980 version and also apparent in this series Mariko loves John Blackthorne , but she chooses her duty 1st.
a little background and spoiler
in the novel Mariko's death in Osaka caused division in the council and many daimyos switch to Toranaga's side.
and the novel is basically based in this novel a copy paste in fact of Japanese History specifically to the 3 great unifiers.
You’re one of those “many people” as you’ve completely missed the point of why she denied his offer of commuting Seppuku.
最近では少なくなった、文太郎の様な日本人、木訥な人、文太郎は、飾り気がなく、口下手で自分の思いを上手く表現できない、不器用だか意思が強く誠実で正直な人間。茶道のシーンが素晴らしい、茶をたてる様、両者が、今の想いを俳句で表現するところは、正しい日本人像を表現してると感じてしまう。
This is a very important aspect that some here in the comments section fail to see. The series is trying to depict the culture that was authentic to that period and it will not seem acceptable for modern (especially Western) society. While Buntaro had a lot of wrongs, he still did his duty to his Lord by staying loyal to him and his wishes.
日本語には、多種多様な表現が有り、西洋欧米人には理解出来ない所も有るかとおもいます。忠義とは、私利私欲を捨て誠をを尽くし主君や国家に仕えること。文太郎は、武骨なところがある反面、内面は心の優しい武士だと思う。
外国人にはやっぱりわからないだろうなぁ
@@コレット-j9bさん
日本語が世界で一番難しい理由は！一つの言葉に多能な意味があり奥深いです。海外の人には理解が出来ない場合がありますよね！
anyone know the OST while he´s preparing the tea?
shazam isn't picking it up
I can imagine that in a future fight he will hack his way through a swarm of enemies screaming "Why didn't you kill me earlier?"
Can anyone tell me the title of the song in this scene?
1:23
my favorite scene of the whole series
1:41 That tea bowl was not placed within Mariko's reach.
日本人です。茶道の作法です。
Even being targeted and killed by thousands of archers on the battlefield would have hurt him less.
The most vicious act of brutality I've ever witnessed in any work of fiction is just a few words spoken in an utterly tranquil tone during a tea ceremony. Put this in Mortal Kombat as a finisher and call it "zengeance".
Thats why i choose coffee over tea. All the seppuku and bloodbath fights, this here, is deep brutal.
The moment i saw her i was hooked on the show
She is stunningly beautiful
I read some fool saying shes pretty but not a good actress
I think she was a marvelous actress
I couldn't have liked her character anymore
詫びる。
茶道の作法では、わびさびの精神があります。小さな茶室にマリコ(客人)を正式に招待する行為は、詫びを入れる行為にもなります。不器用な文太郎は、今までしてきた過ちを悔いて、マリコへの償いと反省を込めて、誠心誠意お茶を作るシーンです。このシーンでの捉え方は人其々かと思います。
そうなんですね！
素晴らしい！
戦国時代は、公家を頂点に武士・凡下 ( 商人・農民・職人 ) の順に身分が分けられてました。妻 (女性・子供 ) に対する接し方も、階層によって異なると思います。特に、武家の家は厳しく、武士にとって家柄が大事で格式を重んじます。当時、戦に敗れた家の末路は悲惨です。家の根絶、又は、辱しめを受けたりと様々です。勿論、西洋の価値観は存在しません。ですが！妻や子供を想う心、愛情が無かった訳ではないです。妻・子供に対する接し方の違いだけ、宗教思想・文化思想・国の成り立ちの違い、何百年も重ねてきた人々の価値観、様々です。ドラマでは、文太郎の侍としての価値観、マリコのキリシタンとしての価値観の違いとの葛藤があるのでは？
My god, Mariko, he's already dead. You annihilated that poor man.
In retrospect, knowing what happens in episode 9, i suspect she was sparing him a delayed broken heart, knowing full well her burden in the Crimson Sky gambit.
Does anyone know the name of the music playing in the background. It elevated and intensified the emotional weight of this scene so much, I keep coming back to watch it repeatedly.
Name of the song? Please
@FXNetworks please tell us the name of this song 0:58
Buntaro zoned
I felt his love for her. So strongly he wanted to protect her by dying together.💔
No he didn't want to protect her. It was a final attempt to keep her as his, to try and fix the damage but it was too late
マリコの厳しい一言は、死に急ぐ文太郎を守ったかもです。
Love? Lol. Yeah, you can also feel that love on the bruises on her face.
@@soldiers3v3nBullshit. He's the only likeable character with personality, and heart I've seen so far. The rest are self absorbed and cold.
@vincentdc211 I didn't say he had no feeling. Yeah I bet it did hurt to have the consequences of his actions. That's life yet seeing that he would continue in his suffering and eventually she may be his wife but she's not his and he knows it. So why not try to regain his honor and his wife by taking her to death with him. But it wasn't done for her. That's why she wouldn't. I don't fault him for trying tho.
best scene together with Kiku explaining the willow world in ep 6
It baffles me that people are defending Buntaro as some poor guy who wants his wife to love him, but here's the Mariko doesn't owe him anything, including her love. It was an arranged marriage that Markiko's father arranged. I think Mariko would've respected and cared for him more if he hadn't called her entire family "filthy", get jealous of his son, or worst of all hit her. If he really loved her, he wouldn't have done those things and he spared not out of kindness but out of him not wanting to let her go. In the end, Buntaro is putting himself through this rejection and pain for trying to make someone love him back, it would be easier for him just to divorce her and move on.edit: ok if you guys want to sympathize him that’s fine as I get despite his wrong doings he’s a someone who is hurting a lot but regardless, I don’t think anything justifies him harming a spouse that’s all
He is also a samurai who has seen and survived some sht so you cant expect him to act normal especially when some of the things he got out of loyalty is seen somewhat as an insult. You forget that during these times, one's self is less important than their master's. He is wrong on a lot of things, but to characterize him as purely a horrible person is very one-sided.
He loved her, albeit in a twisted and possessive way. It doesn't meet your modern definition of love between equals, but he has the legal right to execute his wife for her infidelity and he chooses over and over again to spare her and attempt to win her affection. I agree he should've divorced her long ago, it would've saved them both a great deal of heartache. Perhaps his samurai mindset is too determined to make everything in his life bend to his will, even if that's a human being who will simply never return his feelings.
@@user1029xspl8dy You are probably right about how the samurai mindset made him have this hold over Markio but still he has a mind of his own and some of his actions are against the samurai codes like having self-control which Toronaga called him out for when he beat Mariko and disrespect the house of a hatamoto. In the end, even though samurai has these codes to keep them in character in the end they mostly follow codes that benefit them like bending things to their will. I understand you are trying humanize Buntaro which he's not all bad and good but I think when you use a "soldier mindset" as a coping mechanism for them to deal with life and battle it is fine, but not when is used as an excuse to hurt others who haven't harmed you, as soilders have a mind of their own, they choose how to react or respond to things
she looked down on him from the beginning, before their wedding she considered him inferior. she couldn't believe her father would marry her to someone of such low status. it turned out to be a ploy to save her life after her father betrayed his lord. buntaro had no reason to be happy about any of this. he was a brave and loyal warrior with an earnest heart who deserved better than a loveless sexless marriage to a betrayer's daughter who looks down upon him
@@Navak_ I don't think she looked down on him, she just thinks their marriage wouldn't benefit her family that much. Plus if she really didn't love Buntaro just because he was a lower status then why of all the men she fell in love and was kind with was someone who they consider a barbarian. Sure, Blackthorne has the title Hatamoto but in the end to the people of Japan, he is still an outsider who is considered a barbarian even Toronaga still thinks of him like that despite the title he had, hell Blackthorne even against Mariko's faith yet she was falling for him. You might be right how she looked down on Buntaro, but in the end, what led her to resent him more was the way he treated her and if it bothers him so much, he could've divorced her. They don't have to like each other but they could at least respect each other which Mariko tries to but it not enough as Buntaro want her to love him back.
I feel sorry for him. By the standard of the time and place, he was a great person. A loyal vassal who was willing to give his life for his lord. A very skilled warrior who can fight his way out of death's jaw and shoot arrow while being drunk. He followed every social expectation to the highest degree, including bowing in the street to apologize to his host for causing trouble. A cultured man who knew poetry and art of tea. We judge him for beating his wife and being xenophobic, but those are par for the course given the time period. Was he really worse than, say, Blackthorne who raided the Catholics? As far as we know, he did it out of hatred and prejudice.
I realize how Buntaro behaved to his wife all the time. Buntaro might rape Mariko and he always said harsh words to his wife that mean he destroyed her pride and Mariko hated him after all.
I dont love you. I never did
And just like that, a samurai who would brave thousands on the battlefield was savagely cut down by his wife
music please.
