“Pick the bigger one…ohhhhh” made me absolutely die laughing.

Wives of samurai were trained as they were expected to defend their houses while their husbands were away, there were also female samurai Onna_Musha and were usually trained in the Naginata (pole sword like the one Mariko used) as it gave them the edge in fighting against stronger men.

Swimming in full armour isn't that easy to do. That's why he stayed behind.

Mariko is an onna-musha, a woman samurai, basically. They use the long pole weapon you saw rather than swords.

I could listen to Blackthorne and Rodrigues talk shit to each other all day. I saw an episode of Bill Burr's podcast with John Lovitz as a guest. They insulted each other for over an hour, and never took their foot off the gas. If Blackthorne and Rodrigues had a podcast, it would be the same.

“Pick the bigger one!” LOL

this is my favorite show right now, i genuinely love everything about it and i love that it’s also very funny. cosmo jarvis plays anjin as a gremlin but with so much moxie you can help but root for him. also, night battle scenes we could actually see?? we are so back!!!

I wouldn't recommend swimming with a full armor

I think if they went back for the samurai, that would be an insult to him. That was his chance to gain honor. Most of them dream of that moment.

This show FUCKS so hard I’m loving every single episode

The dudes carrying Lady Kiri's carriage: "Kiri-sama, you seem to have gained weight. Like you are wearing a full armor"

Hatamoto= bannerman or in this case an inner circle trusted samurai/advisor.

15:09 when you started crying ..... should have been the thumbnail!

Love you guys ❤. Toranaga made him dive over and over so he’ll tire out giving himself better chance to win the rice. Another trickery.

Just looking at everything, nature, the buildings, the clothes, the weapons. Its all beautiful and awe inspiring. The stark contrast with the death and suffering is what i believe makes both the beauty and the evil make more of an impact. Its perfect cinema in that regard. Tadanobu Asano is killing it for me. He is such a great actor. And amongst so many good actors and actresses on screen him standing out is an achievment in itself. Im not familiar with his career but he is a future oscar winner for sure. Many of the people on screen are also freat but there is just somthing about ehat he is doing that stands out to me.

Buntaro is a true Samurai loyal to his Lord and died fighting with honour it must of been great pride to get that acknowledgement of Lord yoshi

He wants to tire him out before the swim race to the shore

After an action packed episode, we had a really nice and chill ending... that was just the calm before the storm.

BLUE EYE SAMURAI after this pleaaaseeee!!!!!!!

After this show, you should jump straight into Blue Eye Samurai. The show is one of best I've seen in a long time!

Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Shogun!!!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊

He wrote a will before escape with Toranaga. He knew that it would be very difficult to do.

You guys are so funny.

Japanese armor could way up to 45lb. Sooo yeah, not swimming in that. Also, watching the sun rise when your head couldve been taken? Pretty Toronaga meant that to be a, "be thankful youre alive," moment...

john going so far over the top to cause a distraction was so damn funny.

26:59 when did blackthorn had a bath again?

"Your lips are on the Devil's arse!" *"THEY'RE ON YOUR MOTHER'S FIRST..."*

5:22 pick the bigger one 😭😭😭😭 help , bridgetttttt!😭😭😭❗️

Buntaro’s courage had me crying like a baby

I loved the ending to this episode! Great series!

"Pick the bigger one!" "...I'm going to see myself out." 🤣

5:21 "Pick the bigger one. ...Oh." LMAO! Good job, Bridget.

Thank you for the video! I live in Japan- from the UK originally and my wife and children are Japanese. We are loving this series. However, watching you, watching it is equally entertaining! We love your reactions and my wife laughed hysterically,,,,as did I. Thank you again,,,,,,We are looking forward to the next episode in the series and to your next video!.....Oh,,,,Hatamoto literally means flag person which was a high ranking position within feudal Japan,,,,

15:24 I said it once I said it 1,000 times, if they don’t die on screen they aren’t dead yet hahaha

Difficult 400-year-old words that even Japanese today can't understand. It,s so cool!

Right there with you both with how much you're enjoying this show! LOVE the developing relationships and rivalries, and look forward to how this story unfurls! Buntaro's sacrifice, and his lord's acknowledgement, made me emotional too, and I love John's bawdy humour SO MUCH! Great to hear your thoughts, and laugh along with you!

24:40 He just wants to find the One Piece.

"Pick the bigger one" wow..... 😅

I love this show. The best episode so far right? I remember the 1980 version, and I still cherish it, but this one adds so much in the way of production values, historical accuracy, acting, writing and dialogue. I love this episode for the relationships between the characters, but also the drama of leaving Osaka. I hope everyone is watching this, because there's more books. There could conceivably be more seasons (although fear not, this story wraps up in one book and in this season, were there any additional season my understanding is it is different characters).

Hurry up and get to Episode 4 already! 😊

Lord Toronaga knows John Blackthorn is a very good swimmer; in order to wear Blackthorn off - make him tired by diving as many times as possible, Lord Toronaga have a chance to beat Blackthorn swimming and reach to the shore first.

Something about people having determination and honor in some sense. Even if the dude was a douchebag against his wife you can't do anything but respect his creed of being a warrior.

"Daaaaaamn you catholics!" 😂😂😂

Edo is significant in that it's Tokyo

cool

Please react to Sekigahara Movie (2017) if you liked Shogun

正に日本人の武士道精神

Swimming in full armor isn't really a thing. Movies and TVs keep using that trope and it's just ridiculous.

can yall react to Ginny and Georgia?

Toranaga had Blackthorn do all those dives to tire him out so Toranaga would win the race to the shore.

Edo is located in a straight line from Nikko Toshogu Shrine. The place where Ieyasu sleeps. Even after Ieyasu's death, he wanted to keep Edo and Japan safe, peaceful, and prosperous. I hope God will punish the current Kishida administration, which is the pet dog of Biden, Obama, and the US ambassador to Japan. The current Prime Minister of Japan has an approval rating of 10%, the lowest in the world.😂 I'm sure that it was Ieyasu's will that it was released at this timing, and the timing is coincidental, as it should be a wake-up call.🧐🙏 If you come to Japan, be sure to visit Nikko Toshogu Shrine 👍 Nikko also has a movie village that recreates Edo.
