Shogun (FX/Hulu) - February 2024 :ohhh:

Yabushige be killing me with his facial expressions

I love it. Japanese are often portrayed as super stoic in pop media and here we have Yabu constantly smirking or mugging like one of my annoyed, shyt talking uncles looking for a come up.

Fantastic show.

Previews I've seen for this make it seem like it's going into that game of thrones lane.

Once a show starts making money like this it never dies.

Don't know if anyone else listens to the Watch podcast, but Andy had me with his Blackthorne impression.

I need to check that out. I've been listening to the Midnight Boys podcast talk about Blackthorne unwashed ass pulling 2 of the finest ladies in Japan.

A little Anjin ass stank was nothing for that jap skank. The foul smelling musk only furthered the lust. But her cac has come to. Her dream has come true... she got a clean boo. And later on? A little howdoyado. It's true he got to screw but it was dark and he didn't have a clue in which broad he blew.

Finally caught up with all 4 episodes. This show is great

Is it just a limited series or will there be a continuation?

Historically, Ishido always said the Toranaga's were nothing more than a glorified crew.

I was looking around on the Wikipedia page for the real-life Tokugawa, and a reference to New Spain put me into a little bit of a wikipedia link rabbit hole.
Anyway, after reading some links I'm picking up on what might be a pretty big historical inaccuracy that would throw off the shows plot.

Apparently, in 1583 (almost 20 years before the show is set), Japanese ambassadors had already gone on a major multi-country tour of Europe:

Tenshō embassy - Wikipedia


It's pretty important to the plot that the Japanese leadership thinks that "Portugal = Europe", but apparently in real life that was not the case at all.
Of course, for THE SHOW it doesn't matter all that much, since its a TV show and not an actual history lesson.

Basically, James Clavell needed to come up with a plot point to make Blackthorne more important than he would have been in real life
