If the actor that plays this guy doesn't win the Best Supporting Actor Emmy, then something has gone horribly wrong.

Yabushige is a complete piece of shite, yet endearing, yet ruthless, yet funny as hell.

It's an amazing character. Like for all of his buffoonery, there are scenes like the one with Blackthorne on the beach where you remember that this dude is a Lord and he can totally frick you up.

He's the only Japanese character on the show that views his life the way the West does (worth preserving at all costs) vs. the other Japanese characters on the show.

Which is probably why the Anjin-San can relate to him, in spite of him murdering his shipmate.

I really thought he was going to be this absolute psychopath super dark character. He booked a guy alive episode 1.

And now he just goes around making deals with whoever just caught him betraying them.

Really just flying by the seat of his pants.

Makes me think of the Console Wars episodes of Soith Park where the old man is yelling “don’t make a deal with him he’s going to betray you”
