About number 7. It actually happened, granted not that often. There was a law in Japan that forbid drawing a sword in palace or in front of imperial or shogun representatives. There was only one punishment for that and it was death, so he as a bushi (warrior class) was aware of that. In the account of 47 Ronin daimyo (lord) Asano was forced to commit seppuku (specifically type called Inseki. It was seppuku for taking responsibility for ones mistakes) and end his bloodline because he was provoked in drawing his sword.

Yes and this TV series was absolutely shit.

The 70-year old treaty that Blackthorne referred to is the Treaty of Saragossa (1529) rather than the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494). The 1529 treaty reconfirmed the division of lands between Spain and Portugal as stipulated in the 1494 treaty. The only difference is that the line was moved some degrees further west to fully incorporate Brazil in the Portuguese sphere and to make Spain give up its claim on the Moluccas.

I've had a blast just listening to ( and repeating) the way the FX announcer says, "Shogun!"

I don't think you can say Blackthorne's and Mariko's is "wrong" since "Shogun" never claimed to be historically accurate. Clavell obviously based his characters on real people but the story itself is fictional. Therefore, it's not "wrong".

How film making has changed, since the 80's version! This one is like time travel. The mood, the lighting, the rain, it's all perfect!

He might not have been the captain of his ship, but a pilot-major (aka navigator) also ranked high on the crew list, and he was taught how to build ships as he was apprenticed under a master ship builder. Blackthorne came from a family with slightly better standing than most.

I always look forward to this masterpiece every week

It's made very clear that it was because of the immense grievance of drawing sword inside the room where the regents were meeting and talking of why he even offers he line to be ended which did happen in feudal Japan

The show is good so far,totally rewatch the five eps every chance i get...

So far loving it !!!!! One of the best series to come out in recent years

Just to add: 2) While Torunaga is depicted as good guy in the timelapse, protecting the heir, in reality he was the one, who was powerhungry and most feared by "Taiko" and they even fought each other in a war. So the council was actually created to counteract the Torunaga, not to "protect him" him.

glad to see someone is still able to make a good show without changing it to be "inclusive", and keep as much to the original authors story as much as possible.

When talking about the historical accuracy of "Deadwood," David Milch said that he was using actual events as milestones, but that he was not making a documentary. It seems that Shogun takes the same approach.

"Being practiced as recently as World War II..." Wrong. The last formal traditional seppuku was by Mishima Yukio (born Hiraoka Kimitake) on November 25, 1970 at Camp Ichigaya, a military base in central Tokyo and the headquarters of the Eastern Command of the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

The 1980’s version is typical campy western garbage!

Lady Ochiba (Azai Chacha) is Kuroda's (Oda Nobunaga) niece, not daughter.

There's a couple of mistakes in the series, which I'm really enjoying though. John tells Mariko about his daughter. Later he explains that he had already left before she was born. In 1600 they had no tools to determine the gender of an unborn, so how did he know it was a daughter? No post services back then. Second, there's a lot to do about his ships documents and what he writes about what is basically piracy. Mariko reads them, father Alvito reads them, so we have to believe they were written in Portugees. But there's absolutely no reason why John would write them in Portugees, it would even be unwise to do, in case captured. 100% sure they were written in English,. That means abracadabra for Mariko and all the others that studied them. The guns he is carrying are from a different era, about 100 years later.

Love it

It is a work of fiction , inspired by historical events . This is why Clavell changed the names of his characters . If the series is true to the book , then it gets nothing "wrong".

Shogun is a good show, even with or without historical accuracy. Looking at reception in Japan, the Japanese don’t mind. It’s better than the 1980 version expect the main actor since we all know Toshiro Mifune is the GOAT of Japanese actors.

Well, in 1600 England wasn’t yet what it became. At that time the smart money would have been on Spain. England observed Spain and Portugal, learned from them, and didn’t repeat their mistakes. It’s an anachronism to project how it will turn out having an effect on the story at that time. While it’s easy for us to point out, in retrospect, how people might have thought and believed one can never forget that they didn’t know how it would end up. How all that happened fills libraries with history books. The Reformation and Counter-Reformation were in full bloom at that time and the conclusion was unknown (some would argue that it’s still not done).

Sometimes to make a historical show entertaining, twisting facts is necessary.

They should run a disclaimer that it is fantasy. Most Americans, especially younger people, never even heard of the book. The producers and actors make a big deal about historical accuracy which can be deceiving to many.

I feel the second season will be dealing with the Portuguese

Anyone here watched the old shogun?

There are no facts! Shogun, James Clavell’s novel on which the 2024 FX series is based, is a work of fiction, albeit loosely based on historical figures and events that took place toward the end of the Sengoku period in Japan. So there’s no such thing as what the series got wrong or right. Reason why the names of the characters in the series are not the names of the actual historical figures, I.e., Yoshii Toranaga is based on Tokugawa Iyeyasu.

And this was said by another senior japanese vassal after the death of Oda: "A black slave is an animal (bestial) and knows nothing, nor is he Japanese, so do not kill him, and place him in the custody at the cathedral of Padre".

Hello good afternoon 😮😮😮🎉

Mariko will die in either the last or second to last episode, she will go to Osaka castle to confront Ishido that will result in him being forced to release all the family members of important daimyo that he is "holding hostage". Ishido will hire ninja to kidnap her and she will commit a form of seppuku to avoid being captured. Fujiko will commit seppuku at the end of her 6 month contract to serve as Blackthorne's consort. Yabu will be ordered by Toranaga to commit seppuku for treason. He's the one who let the ninja enter the secure Toranaga wing of Osaka castle. Omi will be one of those who gives Toranaga the proof to sentence his uncle Yabu. Toranaga will also burn Blackthorne's ship (of course Blackthorne won't realize this will assume it was either the portuguese or the jesuits who hired ninja to do this) to convince the powerful christian daimyo like Kiyama that he is no threat to the church. But this is also a way to save Blackthorne's life as the portuguese and the christian daimyo want Blackthorne dead, so burning the ship will make them think that Blackthorne is neutralized. It's a plan that Mariko and Toranaga conspired together. Ishido used ninja, why shouldn't I? But I hired one man and succeeded. Ishido failed. The first time I saw you, I said "There's no excuse for rebellion" and you said "There's one- if you win". Ah, Anjin-san, I bound you to me then. I agree. Everything's right if you win. Mariko-san, it was your karma to die gloriously and live forever. Anjin-san, my friend, it is your karma to never leave this land. It is mine to be Shogun.
