He wasn’t loyal. In this scene he admits to telling toranaga that Yabushige was gilt ridden when Mariko died. Also remember right before toranaga cuts off Yabushige’s head. He tells him “why tell a dead man the future” That was something Yabushige only ever told Omi in a earlier episode. Showing us that Omi, was another spy for Toranaga

Throughout the series, you can often see Omi's silent expressions of concern or disgust for Yabushige and his actions. I don't think he was ever loyal, he was just doing his job and tolerating Yabushige's questionable decisions. I'm not surprised he turned him in.

I read the book first, watched the series second, and then I watched this second series third. The new series is better. The presentation is perfect. In many ways I wish there was so much more (like in the book). That's a good thing though, they made something I want more of. The original book and the two adaptations are all pretty great though, and the book is still my favorite. I like that they acknowledge that in the book Anjin was Yabu's second, but that in the series they created this also makes sense. It works. While I would not have made some of the narrative choices the creator's of the this series made, I really enjoyed watching it. It all was top notch. Toranaga's, Blackthorne's, and Mariko's actors in particular, but really there wasn't a single bad performance.

Yabushige was always shocked, one of my favourites 😂

Blackthorne: "My my, how the turn tables..."

I would be honored if it would be you, Lord. You gotta admit that’s some dedication.

what a great character and just an interesting arc the entire way through. I always wanted him to succeed, but also wished for him to fail a few times. Feel bad for the guy but also feel like justice was served

@Hibernicus1968

2 ай бұрын

Poor Yabishige? Toranaga merely exploited Yabushige's nature, which he knew to be self-serving and treacherous (and it was). Toranaga couldn't have manipulated Yabushige that way, were it not for Yabushige's own character flaws. Also, let's not forget that he had a man _boiled alive_ -- and I am hard-pressed to think of a crueler death to inflict on someone -- merely for his own personal pleasure. Yabushige certainly is a charismatic character, and it's enormous credit to Tadanobu Asano as an actor for imbuing such a villainous character with so much of that quality, but Yabushige _is_ a villain.
