The first Samurai who Mariko ordered to kill the two is such a badass! one..two..three efficient strikes resulting in two instant deaths. And the way he cleaned his sword off of blood was badass too! Definitely the Boba Fett of the scene. lol

Trying to leave the castle was probably the most badass scenes in movie history. The formality to it all, the respect, and the accepting of one's fate. Pretty incredible. And the way she stood there, right in the middle of it all, no fear. Priceless. Then to top it off, they give us a REALISTIC fight scene with a female. No girl power, no mystical change into a female Musashi Miyamoto. She tried her best against superior numbers, cut one guy - not a kill, and the rest played defense especially since they were under orders not to kill her.

The kimono, the traditional costume worn in present-day Japan, was completed around the beginning of the 17th century. The drama is set in the second half of the 16th century. Therefore, the design is slightly different from the kimono worn by women in Japan today.

The samurai's swordsmanship in the first scene is superb. He first sliced the wrist of the opponent who tried to draw his sword, incapacitating him, then killed the next samurai with a precise slash to the neck, and finally decapitated the samurai whose wrist had been severed.

The part where she instructs his samurai to kill the first two guys was indeed badass but… there’s a part that is cut from this scene where she approaches the group with lances and says “I’m a vassal of lord Toranaga and my orders are clear” daaaamn that was the mic drop moment.

If you rewatch closely....the first samurai cuts the hand off of the first guy.....kills the second guy....then comes back and kills the first guy. So sick. Crazy attention to detail to have him disable the first threat in order to attack the second.

It was not a scene they kept in the original serie with LADY Yoko Shimada. (R.I.P.) I am so glad they kept it in this one.

In most other shows nowadays this would've been a cringey girlboss moment where she defeats all the guards and only loses because she has archers aiming at her but they actually showed a believable scenario and its that much more powerful because of it.

There is a common used word called Kakugo 覚悟 which means mental and emotional preparedness to face difficult situations, challenges, etc. It is a state in which you have overcome fear/doubts/regrets knowing what could come ahead and accepting that still with a determination to carry through/endure to the end. This show did a really good job portraying that at the extreme level. Everyone has the Kakugo to die at any moment. It’s their default mental state. Especially Yabushige - that guy really has balls of steel - and Mariko and Hiromatsus display were memorable. Even Marikos guards. They probably knew that this where it ends before walking through those gates, at any moment they must fight and get cut down, yet they showed no cowardice. What Mariko did also takes guts. Imagine what that’s like, having to walk into blades and then decide to commit suicide even if you don’t necessarily want to. I can never have Kakugo for anything at their level

Although I have not read the book, just from the show, she appears Toronaga's equal in many respects. Insight, perception, calm, intellect, and with superior poetry.

No, she's a puppet who was taken advantage of by the deceitful tyrant Toranaga.

1st strike: cuts the first guy’s hand off before he draws his sword. 2nd strike: kills second guy. 3rd strike: comes back to kill off first guy. The detail is crazy.

Amazing not even one archer dares hit lady Mariko. Chaos surrounding her she stands as if daring them. Those Samurai with her portrayed loyalty like nothing else.

It's freaking amazing that they kept in all the details that goes on with weapons fight. Reach and number superiority, tiredness creeping in very quickly, movements becoming weary and slow... Mariko didn't won the fight, or didn't even hurted them much, but the scene makes her justice, she did really well in such an unfair fight she knew she couldn't win.

This whole show just oozes *HONOR*

We needed more fight scenes like this on this show.

I was so disappointed to find that she did not live until the end of this season. She has made a significant contribution to her role and the story. Like a pillar of the temple

The fact that the one samurai is fully armored helps sell it to sense it shows he was either a highly skilled/ experienced veteran to have earned that armor from his lord or from a rich family who could afford to outfit him and give him time to train till he was a master

That one Samurai who Mariko put in charge next was so badass, the fact that he charged all the way through to the other side and was still alive only to get shot by an arrow. I'm pretty sure he would have been able to take them all out if it wasn't for that coward!

This is how you portray and write a strong female character, she didn’t need to physically beat any of them to show herself to be stronger than all of them combined…this is pure feminine strength through and through, done right. If this was your typical Hollywood show/movie, she would’ve beaten everyone in this scene with no difficulty whatsoever.

Actually Samurai have no problem with killing foes from a distance. They are trained with the bow from a young age and Oda Nobonaga was quick to adopt firearms as soon as they were introduced to Japan. This idea of a dishonourable kill from a distance is more of 19th century invention spread by the west.

Why is it dishonorable if your going off the book don’t think it through what honor is their in denying a warrior a honorable death non so the fact that they use the bow shows you it was not dishonorable in fact the only reason the samurai for the most part didn’t use guns was the inaccuracy of the flint locks and muskets of the time if a weapon was not precise then it was not good enough for them

@@RoyalJoshR well they had material in season 5 but chose to make trash, they barely followed the books before except main ideas which themselves were executed poorly. A production team generating this much money from previous seasons could hire other writers to atleast provide a decent ending. Plus GRRM said he gave them ideas of what he wanted next but they just couldn't execute them properly. "They couldn't do anything since GRRM didn't finish the books" that's just a stupid excuse.

The way she ordered to kill is so chilling! I finished this series overnight. I just cant stop!

He even bow before he draw his sword and attack. Honorable culture.

It's small details like the first bodyguard that cuts the first guy's fingers to stop him from grabbing his katana that makes this show amazing

I held my breathe for this episode!!!!

Loved Mariko Sama the entire series, such a strong woman. I imagine she was not very afraid of the warning arrows, what with all she endured from her husband.

The shortness of the main fight between the guards/soldiers feels extremely realistic to me. No insane unnecessarily stretched out choerography but instead every swing has a purpose and it all ends very quickly

Needless to say, her performance this episode... Blew me away.

That's how you write an actual strong female character. An emphasis on Character. Not female.

American Old Heads: I remember when we didn't use weapons, we just put our dukes up and punched each other. Japanese Old Heads: I remember when we'd just whip out our Naginatas on each other, but these damn kids and their bombs 😂

Love that bow before killing, like "nothing personal, fellas."

When she opened her right hand, did anyone else expect a lightsaber to fly into her hands? (Yes, I’ve been mentally conditioned by years of Star Wars..)

Haha, but on a more serious note, I like the elegance of it. Asking for her weapon without really needing to say a word.

From Japanese, Near Mariko, there's a scene where an arrow is released. Within Japanese castles, traps are scattered everywhere, and enemies launch attacks. It seems that someone atop the castle gate shot the arrow in this scene. Even firing arquebuses through small windows called "sama"(KANJI:狭間) is possible. Therefore, infiltrating Japanese castles without armor is extremely perilous.😅

The first 20 seconds, the most badass scene in history as well as the best girl boss scene at the end.

ive never seen "diplomatic tensions" portrayed so perfectly

Can we appreciate the bowmen real quick? Neck shot between armor, neck shot between armor, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 warning shots right by the feet.

When I saw the trailer I was worried they were going to do the "bad ass woman" unrealistically defeats 12 samuari single-handed Marvels trope. But the way this was done, with the Lord Kiyama essentially ordering th3m only to defend and not harm her made it 100 percent plausible

I also like how they made it obvious they would have fucked her up as well by having some of the spears already so close to her while doing her fancy moves, they only need to thrust forward to take her out instantly.

The thing that made this scene so heart breaking to watch, is that took years to create warriors of that caliber. The training, the discipline, the combat experience and they were spent in an instant.

That Samurai's initial draw was so clean holy shit I had to comment just to say he died well! Glad to see they put time into the skill required to weild such a blade effectively with finesse.

This scene .... everything about it, the writing, the acting, the cinematography... everything was just PERFECT!

The dudes being hit with the arrows feels like when the Rangers were getting buzzed by the MG42s in Saving private Ryan. Just a cheap shot . But war is hell.

I loved this scene, as Mariko does everything in her power to honour her lord's orders. Then to see her face all his soldiers was epic. And John watching helplessly. You can see his concern. But Mariko really does have courage. Her powerleness was so sad

Best episode so far - well done Anna.

This episode was mindblowingly fantastic.. worthy of legendary status.

Damn this is dead on. Samurai were master spearmen, so Yari and Naginata, foremost, and also bowmen. Yes, swordsmen, but the spear they were unequaled. This is amazingly done well.

It doesn't seem like Barney is particularly worried that the woman he loves could die at any moment.

It really depicts the way the samurai fought with their main weapons the Yari and naginata , as the katana was not really the main weapon of a samurai

Everyone will be against him but those ninja are Toranaga's men. This attack is meant to cast blame on Ishido. Think about it, he just said she could leave so why sneak attack in your own castle? Catch her on the road like he did with that regent. He's smarter than that, but everyone will think he did it. Think about it.

OMG one of the most intense and IMPOV legitimate samurai sword fight!

The actor playing Miyai. Mariko's second in command. The sound of his voice is so badass. Low, smooth, and very Japanese.

This is my favorite scene from a TV show ever. Superb.
