The main difference between Europeans and Japanese was that for Europeans life was the ultimate value (especially your own) but for Japanese, there were values way more important than life (even their own). It's all about different sets of values.
Christian knights went into some pretty stupid shit for their souls. Europe tore itself apart over what the relationship between men and god was. There is no simplistic dichotomy between east and west,
@@MiLikesVids and yet, in a Christian moral system, suicide is one of the biggest sins, and ppl who took their own life were/are banned from a Christian burial.
@@MiLikesVids You still don't see the difference, don't you? The Chivalry code was built upon Christian values. In a Christian doctrine, your life is a God's gift and you have no right to end it at your own will. You do not choose to become a martyr, it's a God that brings this faith to you. In Christian societies, suicide was and still is one of the greatest sins. Being a martyr doesn't have anything in common with a Japanese code and a way of thinking about life and death. Moreover, the Chivalry Code was more of an abstract set of ideals, often forgotten when convenient (Crusaides in Holly Land). What you are referring to is more a sign of religious insanity than anything else but still, it does not include an active seeking of death. Both codes of conduct have some similarities but they are very different in their core beliefs.
@@atomictsarina4378Yet people did over honor and many other reasons. Even walked willingly into death for God. Your position seems only Japanese exceptionalism. I have no doubt there were and are many Japanese who would have thought seppuku was ridiculous. They aren't a monolithic culture, either.
It is often mentioned in historical records that samurai risked their lives to perform the duty of Shingari (殿) for their lord. The meaning is to stop the enemy in his tracks to buy time for the lord to escape, much like a rearguard. It is the most dangerous duty, and since it is not supported by allies and the strength of the force is limited, it is often assigned to a person who excels in the martial arts. Even if they died on this mission, it was honorable and the lord honored their achievements. The family of the deceased samurai and the next generation were also rewarded. The father would die, but the son would work to repay the father and the lord. The process is repeated.
I agree with Zakk. I don't think Mariko was saying that seppuku was causing senseless deaths but the guy was by not maintaining self control and speaking out of turn led to his own death and his and his wife's son. Worse, now he's being harsh to his wife who's going to become a widow and lose a son for something that's his fault.
You should watch Godzilla Minus One. It was about the protagonist's shame and guilt who had run away from kamikaze attack for his life. It's a good movie with one of the highest rotten tomatoes ratings

When the Black Ship and the Galley were racing out of the harbor, when Rodrigues was attempting to sink Blackthorn on the rocks, In the book it stated that although Rodrigues did offer up a small opportunity for Blackthorne to miss the rocks and pass the Black Ship, it was made clear that only a top navigator and sailor could have taken advantage of that opportunity and used it to escape. Anjin/Blackthorne is an amazing navigator of the seas.
And I love how in the book it shows us the thoughts of Japanese people around him, how they were impressed during the first storm when he saved them all, them thinking how he knows the water better than anyone else and not afraid of it
Toronaga is based on Tokugawa Ieyasu and Blackthorn is based on William Adams. Adams arrived in Japan on a Dutch ship in 1600. He became an advisor to Ieyasu who became Shogun in 1603. Adams lived in Japan until his death. He was known for turning Japan against the Jesuits and building the Red Seal merchant fleet. After Adams died Ieyasu’s grandson completely suppressed Christianity after a Catholic revolt. The Tokugawa Shogunate then imposed a 200 year closure of the country. The Red Seal fleet was disbanded, one was allowed to leave. The only people allowed to trade with Japan were the Chinese and the Dutch and only one port was open to them.
He didn't swim because he is Samurai and he is helping his Lord escape by fighting on that acknowledgement from Lord Yoshi would gave him so much pride and his wife seeing die with honour
Yeah, we do have evidence that some samurai were capable of swimming in their armor but that would not have been a common skill even for a skilled warrior and it is by no means easy. Heck, if you dive deep into history you find most SAILORS for the longest time were incapable of swimming regardless of what they were wearing.
Samurais were pretty experienced swimmers tho , they use to train swim since kids including things like swimming with your armor on or even carrying a rock. Things like that
Yabu is a character that just wants to be on the winning side. What sets him apart from the typical example of such a character is that he legitimately believes Toranaga is capable of winning, even though his side is weaker. Since Yabus "hidden heart" (remember Rodriguez' monologue in episode 1) is out in the open for everyone to see, Toranaga is confident that he can keep him under control. There are no surprises with Yabu, what you see is what you get.
About seppuku just think of it this way cause you've already pretty much "justified" it with the communists and the Nazis: what he did, talking shit about the leaders, was dishonorable and is punishable by death, but with the self-initiated death it makes him keep and show some of that samurai honor in a way. Not that I agree with that ideology, but it's their way of life back then and what keeps their discipline among themselves (and in some ways it is still that way to a lesser degree. see: the dishonored politicians/company heads.) It's a product of the time and their culture, not that it matters whether we agree with or not anyway.
Another great episode, and I loved watching your enjoyment and investment in this show too! The humour, tension, simmering romance, honourable acts and sacrifices - it's all wonderful! Really enjoyed your post-watch discussions too! Bravo!
You know that it's a captivating show when Zach leans in at 35.15 to see the results of this game of chicken. Lol. Love this series so far. I can't wait for more❤
Buntaro was wearing a full suit of armour so it's almost impossible to ask him to swim toward the boats that are moving away from him. We also don't even know if he can swim.
Most sailors and fishermen couldn't even swim in 1600 believe it or not. It was not a particularly common skill at all. No doubt many samurai could swim but swimming in full armor is a skill on it's own. We have evidence some samurai could do it, but you need very specific training and it was uncommon enough that it is very likely Buntaro does not know how even as skilled as he is. Add to that the distance, and the simple physics of it and he would certainly tire faster too even if we assume he knows how which is I would say quite unlikely.
It is possible, there is evidence that there were some competent samurai who could do it but as you say it is very very difficult so it is quite likely Buntaro is unable to swim. Heck, at this time period believe it or not most fishermen and most sailors did not even know how to swim period. No doubt the same would have been true for many samurai as well. Buntaro probably can swim given how athletic he is but even for an athletic person you need specific training to even attempt to swim in armor which was rare.
Two children Tudor and Elizabeth, could it be that Blackthorne was saying that in jest? I think he was referring to the English Queen Elizabeth of the house Tudor.
Not necessarily. It was quite common to name children after a reigning monarch. My Grandfather was born in 1904 and named Edward after King Edward the VIIth (1901-1910).
You guys didn't understand the escape scene at the pier. The Japanese weren't willing to risk the lives of the important passengers for one warrior. It was more logical for that one warrior to delay their pursuers than risk everybody in their party. Also, you forgot how dangerous Blackthorne is to the dominance of the Portuguese colonial power in the region and the appeal of the Catholic church. Before Blackthorne's arrival, the Japanese had no idea of other European powers nor of an alternative Christian religion. Also, as you have seen Blackthorne has exposed the Portuguese's history of colonization - something Toranaga sees as a possible future for Japan.
It's simpler than that. Swimming was not a common skill in 1600. Most sailors and fishermen could not even do it despite their livelihoods revolving around water. Some samurai could (and some sailors and such to be fair) but swimming in armor adds another layer of challenge to the process that a samurai would need special training to achieve. It can be done, but it is very likely Buntaro was simply unable to swim given the circumstances.
If I EVER saw a man single handedly take out that many dudes with no sweat and just bows to his leader with respect and turns back at us and charges I’m gone in a heart beat. 😂. No thx
@@BingleFlimp Yes, but that is very circumstantial. And I believe it is better for rivers and lakes rather than the rough sea. You have to remember currents add a new layer of difficulty and even masters of this style of swimming struggle to stay afloat in pools. Also he was surrounded by enemy men who would’ve shot him had he tried to swim. It also would’ve looked quite cowardly, especially with the high chances of drowning.
I had to swim in jeans and a t-shirt to get a certificate once. That was in the summer and one lane in a pool. It was hard as shit. Good luck catching a boat rowing away from you in full armor. Would have sunk like a rock that dude.
No he wouldn't. He would just be slow moving. Also, most of the enemy are not wearing armor and would just catch up to him. The small chance that he would make it to the boats rather than fight his way through and most likely die is not the honorable choice. In other words, the choices are likely death by trying to flee a fight or likely death by fighting. The honorable samurai would always take the latter choice.
Swimming with armor weighed around 12 kg and combat in the water or above the ship was considered as one of Samurai's crucial Bu-jyutu practices. The Samurai's combat swimming method was later developed into 13 styles in late Edo period (1603~1867) and Japanese used to only swim in those style until western sport was introduced in modern Japan. The traditional Japanese swimming style resembled that of synchronized swimming of western sport and was designed to stay afloat with minimum strength for survival purpose and was never meant for time competition.
1. you're assuming he could swim (he could not in the books) and even if he could he's in full armor. 2. you don't get back to be in range of their archers when the only thing that mattered to them was to get Toranaga out, everyone else was expendable.
I really liked the Writing of Buntaro's last Stand. They kinda made us not like him in the first 3 episode,but then in his final Stand we see where his value is as he does his duty as a Warrior and protects his lord and his Family. And no body or final death on screen means his death is not confirmed.
Boiling someone alive was a real thing in Japan. The most famous thief from that era was sent to death in that way, along with his son. He saved his son by holding him up his head tho, because of that the son was "forgiven"
In the original shogun series. Anjin in order to sneak out the shogun. He pretended to be insane. Parading himself by the caravan shouting and acting like a total madman
28:46 ...Swim in (heavy) armor?? Also, as previously shown, MANY ppl DON'T know how to swim. It'd truly be a suicide mission if he did that. Dying with honor defending his lord in battle was always the better choice.
In the book all of them have to learn diving. Naked! John has to dive quickly again when he sees Mariko in the nude for the first time. Rain and clouds ...
