2024 Shogun must have hired the lighting team from GOT Season 8.

“It was entirely my fault, due to my stupidity and ignorance.” Marriage material right there.

To be honest even the 80s one is still mild compared to the book. I guess both shows are scared of making Blackthrone unlikable by displaying his mad rant. “They’d really like to accommodate you, Anjin-san. Oh! Perhaps-perhaps you would prefer a boy?” “Eh?” “A boy. It’s just as simple if that’s what you wish.” Her smile was guileless, her voice matter-of-fact. “Eh?” “What’s the matter?” “Are you seriously offering me a boy?” “Why, yes, Anjin-san. What’s the matter? I only said we’d send a boy here if you wished it.” “I don’t wish it!” Blackthorne felt the blood in his face. “Do I look like a God-cursed sodomite?” His words slashed around the room. They all stared at him transfixed. Mariko bowed abjectly, kept her head to the floor. “Please forgive me, I’ve made a terrible error. Oh, I’ve offended where I was only trying to please. I’ve never talked to a-to a foreigner other than one of the Holy Fathers before, so I’ve no way of knowing your-your intimate customs. I was never taught about them, Anjin-san-the Fathers did not discuss them. Here some men want boys sometimes-priests have boys from time to time, ours and some of yours-I foolishly presumed that your customs were the same as ours.” “I’m not a priest and it’s not our general custom.” The samurai leader, Kazu Oan, was watching angrily. He was charged with the barbarian’s safety and with the barbarian’s health and he had seen, with his own eyes, the incredible favor that Lord Toranaga had shown to the Anjin-san, and now the Anjin-san was furious. “What’s the matter with him?” he asked challengingly, for obviously the stupid woman had said something to offend his very important prisoner. Mariko explained what had been said and what the Anjin-san had replied. “I really don’t understand what he’s irritated about, Oan-san,” she told him. Oan scratched his head in disbelief. “He’s like a mad ox just because you offered him a boy?” “Yes.” “So sorry, but were you polite? Did you use a wrong word, perhaps?” “Oh, no, Oan-san, I’m quite sure. I feel terrible. I’m obviously responsible.” “It must be something else. What?” “No, Oan-san. It was just that.” “I’ll never understand these barbarians,” Oan said exasperatedly. “For all our sakes, please calm him down, Mariko-san. It must be because he hasn’t pillowed for such a long time. You,” he ordered Sono, “you get more saké, hot saké, and hot towels! You, Rako, rub the devil’s neck.” The maids fled to obey. A sudden thought: “I wonder if it’s because he’s impotent. His story about pillowing in the village was vague enough, neh? Perhaps the poor fellow’s enraged because he can’t pillow at all and you brought the subject up?” “So sorry, I don’t think so. The doctor said he’s very well endowed.” “If he was impotent-that would explain it, neh? It’d be enough to make me shout too. Yes! Ask him.” Mariko immediately did as she was ordered, and Oan was horrified as the blood rushed into the barbarian’s face again and a spate of foul-sounding barbarian filled the room. “He-he said ‘no.’” Mariko’s voice was barely a whisper. “All that just meant ‘no’?” “They-they use many descriptive curse words when they get excited.” Oan was beginning to sweat with anxiety for he was responsible. “Calm him down!” One of the other samurai, an older soldier, said helpfully, “Oan-san, perhaps he’s one of those that likes dogs, neh? We heard some strange stories in Korea about the Garlic Eaters. Yes, they like dogs and ... I remember now, yes, dogs and ducks. Perhaps these golden heads are like the Garlic Eaters, they stink like them, hey? Maybe he wants a duck.” Oan said, “Mariko-san, ask him! No, perhaps you’d better not." “Oan-san, why not let one of the women send for the duck?” the old samurai whispered agreeably. “We just put it down. If he wants it everything’s fine, if not he’ll pretend he hasn’t seen it.” Mariko shook her head. “Perhaps we shouldn’t take this risk. It seems, Oan-san, his type of barbarian has some aversion to talking about pillowing, neh? He is the first of his kind to come here, so we’ll have to feel our way.” “I agree,” Oan said. “He was quite gentle until that was mentioned.”

Late 20th century hollywood was hilarious. From 75-2000s. Comedy gold.

日本は昔から同性愛に寛容だった

1:25 Ohhh, you had nooooooo idea. Correct!

1980👍

Whats the name of the music at 2:17?

В новом сериале, Блекторн похож на задёрганного наркомана.😂

What 1980 Blackthorn said about a boy, the 2024 Blackthorn cannot say in the US, it's a sad time we live in today.

Therefore earthquakes are customary in Japan.

I doubt I could have turned the offer for all 3 smiling beauties. But then, that may have caused me to miss out on the lady's personal attention to my needs at a later date.

As a queer person I choose not to be completely offended by the 1980 version of what Blackthorne said. It's indeed offensive to modern ears. You can't deny that such homophobia went unquestioned for centuries due to cultural and religious beliefs. To deny this unquestioned prejudice would not be genuine to history.

2024 Mariko is ugly and sad. The actors are really great in the old one. The new one is not good.
