Blackthorne and Buntaro about to go scorched earth for their Bae. Will say I wanted to see if Blackthorne would have chopped her head off. This show is so awesome


I think he legitimately would’ve been her second. At that point, she would be dead anyone. Being the second is just to not prolong the suffering. He wouldn’t have watched her suffer in that situation.

It’s been interesting to see Blackthorne’s immersion into Japanese culture and him gaining respect for certain parts of their society.

She didn’t want to commit suicide but putting a blade through her heart would have been the same, no matter if someone cuts off your head before actual death. Her actual death at least served a purpose.

He would have, but women samurai weren't allowed to have a second. They also didn't kill themselves the way the movie was portraying. They slit their own throats.
