Nah, this is cope. I want season 2 and I'm certainly not the only one. Just dont watch it if you dont like it, brother.

@@phobiahd9954 we all want a season 2, as long as it lives up to the standards set by season 1. If they can’t do that, then it’s better to “let it fall,” and have it remain as a limited series event.

I love you, Fuji Sa-ma. 😁

"We" don't want a season 2. Some people who can't accept that things end, want them to go on forever, "they" want more seasons

Unfortunately, money talks.

Man, people need to stop with these games of crap , shogun isn't like that made up storyline . Shogun is losely based in leyasu, who actually existed

You never heard of the actual Tokugawa clan…theres so much to make a series continuing. The real Ochiba ends up having her son wage a war against who is Toranaga. Soooo much left to uncover it aint like crap of thrones

​@@churclan000exactly 💯 I don't get why people keep mentioning games of nonsense .

Maybe JB can tempt her from being a nun?

Yea, Toranaga's early years are just as compelling as his reign. Seeing him serve under Oda Nubanaga & his feud with Hideyoshi would make a great Prequel.

I agree as well, the acting, writing, dialog & world it was set in was all done so well that i didn't even care about the lack of battles either. This was a great character piece that focused more on good story, character development & political intrigue, & it worked well i thought. I think a big portion of today's audience is always looking for a big spectacle, but any halfway decent writing can throw together a fight/battle scene. But to craft a world like this & make it as intriguing as it was without all the spectacle, is the mark of great storytelling imo.

Yea luckily the history is soo rich they have plenty of places to go. As long as it maintains the same level of storytelling, production quality & commitment to authenticity, im all for it!!

@@JeremyIceAndFire33 the letter Ochiba sent to Toranaga cannot be made public; otherwise the heir and his mother is dead. As the show has revealed, Japanese politics is more passive aggresive than the european court; so i would think that in season 2, us as the audience will be left guessing who is allied with who even into the battle. If they can keep the quality up, and maintain their slow burn Pacing, then season 3 would be the Osaka winter and summer campaign that you aluded to.

Yea thats my biggest concern as well. If they can bring the same level of storytelling & authenticity as S1, im all for it.

I'll miss Yabu the most.

I for one will definitely miss Yabu & Mariko.

Yea i agree, Oda's story is just as fascinating. And they could still weave in a young Toranaga if they wanted to by showing the rise & fall of Oda & the conflict between Hideyoshi & Tokugawa that followed. The history is so rich for them to draw from. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oq2eeNCdrbWokWg.htmlsi=KuZH0bQhQhuhLrSv

@@JeremyIceAndFire33 we will never ever get it. Just look at how Japanese talk about him (and how he's briefly portrayed in Shogun as the "old Shogun" not even naming him), he's basically seen as a Hitler-esque figure even 400 years later. Nobunaga shat all over traditional Japanese culture including monks, but was a champion of the common people, arming them with 100s of thousands of firearms and humiliating the entire samurai class and culture. As well as being responsible for many foreign influences reversed under the tokugawa shogunate. Just look at how it was portrayed in shogun. Firearms are mysteriously absent except for a couple of scenes despite being Japan being the worlds biggest gunpowder nation at the time (bar cannons) akira kurosawa's "Ran" has a much more accurate depiction of gunpowder's use at the time. And Nobunaga is frequently portrayed as insane because he killed a lot of monks and samurai, but they all killed A LOT of people the only difference is that nobunaga killed the kinds of people who could write about it. He's arguably the inventor of Japan and he's seen as a footnote in history.

That's the biggest question, if they can't maintain that same level of quality of storytelling, it could ruin the whole series.

I was bummed we didn't get more Rodriguez scenes.

@@JeremyIceAndFire33 me too, especially since at times, it was solely because of Rodriguez, that Blackthorn survived.

@Vanic00 yea the banter between Blackthorne & Rodriguez as well were some of the best scenes in the series, def underutilized.

The novel is based on the real life of Tokugawa Ieyasu, & the book barely scratches the surface of his rise to power & rule.

We certainly didn’t all love the ending, many found it anticlimactic. Not just because of how the battle was handled, but this was prompted as a war show with no war. So I understand why a lot of ppl didn’t like the ending. It did have an incomplete feeling, it felt more like a season 1 finale rather than a series finale

​@@therogueprince5553 Some of you thought you were watching a "war show" but that's because you wanted it to be something it was not. The whole point of the show was to win the battle before even fighting the battle. You wanted "action" and hence you felt it "uncompleted", but that's not what the show was about. Some people need to grow up and accept things are what they are, not what they want them to be

And the fact that some people think that wars are fought through "big battles or didn't happened" is the reason the US was kicked out of Vietnam and Afghanistan and some other similarly complicated war zones.

To be fair, the promotional material leading up to the series did present itself as a "war drama" so i understand ppls confusion. Im familiar with the book & with the real history of Tokugawa so i knew going in what kind of show it would be, a political intrigue about the trappings of power & a country on the brink of war, but not exactly a war show in & of itself. I personally dont think they needed to show the Battle of Sekigahara either. But unless you read the book beforehand, the promotional material did make it look like it was going to be a war show.

I have mixed feelings myself. I love what they did in season 1, they gave us a more indepth & accurate look at the Sengoku Period of Japan than we've ever seen. Everything about it was great. On one hand the fan in me would like to see more of this phenomenon cast of characters, but on the other i think its near perfect as is. I'll at least give them a chance, season 1's storytelling was good enough to buy them some good will, if they have to keep the same level of production quality though or they risk completely ruining it.

Since uploading this video it has already been confirmed. A season 2 with Hiroyuki Sanada reprising his role is coming. Only question now is, will ut be a continuation or a prequel.

Well Consider yourself proven wrong then, its legit I don't do clickbait. Deadline & a dozen other sites reported on it as well. A deal for Season 2 was just closed. deadline.com/2024/05/hiroyuki-sanada-deal-shogun-renewed-season-2-fx-emmys-drama-1235911076/

Umm you’re 100% wrong. Definitely not clickbait, a 2 second internet search is all it takes to confirm this is real, and Jeremy doesn’t do clickbait, not this channels style.

try looking up some actual reputable news on it , like forbes etc , it is based on a book and the 1st season completely covers the book

@mikeb1too lol you continue to show you don't know what your talking about, Forbes also reported on it. As did the Hollywood Reporter & Variety! And as I explained in the video, theres still tons of Tokugawa history for them to draw from. The shogun novel only covers a tiny fraction of his rise to power & rule.

@@mikeb1tooyour really showing your ignorance here and lack of research. Forbes did report on it lol
