>BUT FATHER THE ENDING SHOULD BE A GIANT BATTLE WHERE THE GOOD GUYS AND THE BAD GUYS CLASH, AND YOU SHOULD FIGHT ISHIDO ON TOP OF A BURNING CASTLE AND HE MORTALLY WOUNDS YOU AND ALL LOOKS LOST BUT THEN I PICK UP YOUR SWORD AND DEFEAT HIM AND SAVE THE LAND AND EVERYONE LOVES ME THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD END FATHER!!!!!
Toranaga was too busy playing 5D Chess and slaughtering villagers for no reason.
>>198611363He's right. The Shogunate needs a powerful founding myth like that. Toranaga lacks the vision to secure his posterity. His son is a far wiser political player.
I'm not sad how it ended, I'm sad that I wasted time watching a dark boring show mostly in subtitles that nothing happen in.
>>198611363>Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.Sun Tzu would approve.
>>198611363>good guys
My favorite reaction about all these Shogun post-mortems are all these white boys whining about how nothing happened. Because they can’t accept it wasn’t a white power fantasy all along and deviates from Clavells soft core porn focus on his dick.
>>198611424His son wished an ending like this because he was glory hungry not because he's a canny politician
>>198611383It was to get John to think he didn't blow up the boat.
Why do Japanese like to kill themselves so much?
>>198611363This us how both Nobunaga and Tokugawa fought battles you retard, with plans and collaboration from traitors, not some Ned Stark honor shit
>>198612670They really didn't kill themselves that much, that starter after unification when war was banned and samurai had no other way to die honorably so they started killing themselves for all kinds if random shit
>>198612580But Anjin thought his ship was destroyed as part of the deal with portugese so there was no need to kill villagers
What was the point of Toranaga old buddy killing himself? It didnt change anything
>>198612766He thought it would be funny.
>>198612115The book mentions his dick like twice The whole first quarter of the book is Blackthorne getting humiliated over and over
>Asian men hate the show because a white guy fucks Asian women >Catholics hate the show because John Blackthorne hates them >Protestants hate the show because John didn't do a whole lot to defeat the Catholics >Bookfags hate the show because it didn't copy the books 1:1>Marvelfags hate the show because there is no soulless epic battle or orange slices>Illiterates hate the show because they have to read subtitles >Normies hate the show because because Japan is too weird for them>Zoomers hate the show because they think being contrarian makes them cool on /tv/ >Boomers hate the show because a 1980 version exists and "Old Good, New Bad" is their slogan >Animefags hate the show because Toranaga doesn't have an episode long fight with Ishido that takes place mid-air with their katanas clashing a thousand times a second>/pol/ hates the show because it didn't have John become Shogun while turning Japan into his personal harem >Only the cultured few who wanted to see a story that remained authentic and true to the Japanese culture of the period enjoyed the show.
>>198612743But it was so he would never suspect Toranaga.
>>198612766It made the other Regents think he was completely serious in giving up.
>>198612950>>Zoomers hate the show because they think being contrarian makes them cool on /tv/You forgot they also hate it because they were on their phones most of the time so they also missed almost all of the visual cues.
