Am I correct that Mariko and Usami sent in a third female to please our man Blackthorn?


No that was Mariko.

Correct. Basically everything that isn’t Japanese is Portuguese, at least at the moment. Mariko only knows Portuguese. Nobody in Japan knows Englis as I understood it.


In the book Mariko is fluent in Latin as well. She and Anjin use it when they need extra privacy.

Yeah this show is really well done. I wonder how it compares to the 80s tv miniseries that was on when I was a kid. And Mariko

I mean don’t overthink it, we don’t need to get bogged down in her asking him to speak slower or use more proper words.



this ^^^^^^

in the show you can see her express many things for him in better words, or even change his insults into something respectful to praise them

and im sure he knows this as he has seen their strange reactions to her words dont fit what he said

Those cannons just shredded those guys. How was that one guy still alive before he got his head chopped off?

it was very common to take any solid object considered as trash, and stick in a cannon

they used broken bits of metal as well as broken eating utensils too and it comes out like a shotgun blast that was deadly in close quarters where the enemy is grouped closely together

They are both really good even if they differ in certain ways.

Both are worth a watch and the 80s version has aged pretty well, the hard part is finding it.

In case anyboby was wondering what Blackthorne is eating in the last ep

Natto is a beloved and longstanding Japanese dish made from fermented soybeans. As depicted in Shogun, natto has a slimy, gooey texture and a strong odor which some may find off-putting. However, natto is an incredibly healthy dish that is full of fiber, probiotics, and vitamin K12. According to Healthline, "natto was made by wrapping boiled soybeans in rice straw, which naturally contains the bacteria Bacillus subtilis on its surface." Natto remains a popular Japanese dish and is often accompanied by soy sauce, mustard, and chives.

Finally was able to watch episode four last night. Best episode yet, the show just keeps getting better and better.

Not going to lie, I could have used a little more light in the room when Mariko came back in

even if every episode doesn't have fighting or ninja assassins, it's gripping from start to finish.

not a single episode isn't better than just about anything else i've watched this year.

isn’t it 1 book?

I know there is a series of books but they are more an anthology right?
