Honestly I like the anime, for some reason these are the type of animes I like plus these terra cockroaches are creepy as hell

Might've been the weirdest thing ever but it kept my family and I entertained

Bro why obunga is gigachad

I binged watched the show right around when S4 ended, and caught up to when S5 began. I kinda enjoyed it but didn’t realize they were still in their FIRST year as High schoolers. Honestly, if you take the ending of S1, skip to the beginning of S6, I doubt you’ll notice a difference besides All Might Retiring, Deku unlocking new quirks, and Shiggy having a voice change, because other than that, it feels like nothing “really” happened between so many seasons of “fluff” or slow progress of the story. Did any of these characters that we follow, especially the students, teacher and heroes change drastically over the course of 6-7 seasons? The villains definitely are my favorite part because they feel like they undergo meaningful development

I Don’t Think Howard Committed Suicide Loll😂😭

Ngl seeing the book comparisons in your reviews made me realise that the show is kinda mid lol. Seems like a dumbed down version of the book tbh. Lowkey ruined the show for me 💀. I gotta read the book now tho, it sounds so much better lol.

It’s so insane that the show is held in such high regard considering how much better the book is. I’d give the show like a 6 or 7 but the source material is so good that people think the show is good lol.

😭

FINALLY I know. My bad 😭

Obunga

Americans don't realize, Shogun is their history in a way.. Think about it if Japan modernize then, Meji Restoration would not have happen, that led to Pearl Habor.. In alternative history, Japan might have been colonized by the Portugal at this time of what 1600's.. If so, eventually, they would have modernized and all of Asian history in WW 2, might have been different.. An early modernization of Japan, would have led to modernations of China, for sure.. Instead of China catching up to the world in 2000's, they would have already been 400 years earlier.. Whole world history may have changed.. Imagine a Japan knowing of the Europe news, and then the news of American civil war.. These War like people, would keep up with repeating guns, machine guns, biological weapons, airplanes, carriers n etc.. They would just keep pace with West or surpass it.. But now that Japan is modernized and their Abe leader died, who knows what is Japan future now ? Will it go back to Shogun ? If America financially collapses, it is likely..

Just watched a movie review on this shit, so weird but entertaining

Post more man i miss ur content

Wasn't there a live action movie of this, cuz I remember I heard of it from a KZbinr called "How to Beat"

This is also where obunga comes from

Murdering gets on WAY before season 5. People think it’s a kids show even with all this blood going everywhere when someone’s gets murked (aka magne) even in the movies David had blood on like half of the inside of the helicopter when he got captured like holy shit

Re zero started before aot in 2012, it was already popular as a webnovel but got the light novel and anime some years later.

what Obama doing?

Post about the final episode bro

Dragons dogma 2 almost did it perfect. I only ask more from capcom. Nothing needs to be changed just add more!

2:02 2:47 he would be multilingual. You forgot English.

Can someone explain to me what Ishido gains from kidnapping Mariko? Doesn't that just make him look like the jailer that he is?

Mariko was the MVP of this ep no cap

I was expecting Mariko to be badass with the fight scene 😭 but I think she purposefully was terrible to put up an act and make it seem hopeless to justify her Sepuku.

Thank you so much for the breakdown, it was super great. I just have a point I disagree on, I think it was fine and even necessary to skip the scene where Mariko cries for the fallen men in the Cha house. It's like in a book it is perfect because when you read a book you imagine every scene and movement and there is not really such a thing as "overemphasizing" what should be obvious coz the readers imagination hinges on being told what the character feels. In a movie or series you can run the risk of overshowing and ruining the momentum. We see Mariko's expression as we're watching closely, it's neither the cold look she gives Buntaro or the 8 fold fence look of silent enduring, then we see hear her guards refer to her as "Sama" and speak with utmost loyalty and how she knows their names when she tells the second to take over when the first falls, finally when the low ranked (guard?) bows in all respect she bows back and she does it with a levity and respect that is obvious on her face. All it takes is knowing a person's name by their face and having a relationship where they respect you to feel their loss so we are expecting she does just from that little exchange. What also makes it obvious to us is that we have see Mariko breakdown over Fuji's son before to know she feel's loss even if she has sought death for more than a decade, and so assuming death was her plan she knowingly brought those guards with her knowing the outcome for her meaning she may have mourned them long before she gathered the courage to see this all through. So many options and directions for us to mull and it's nicer for me that way because then seeing a specific scene that should have been obvious would feel good but lazy

If the baki verse is in here I don't even know bro

😢

I watched the episode today and searched for your synopsis. I got off work and saw this was up! So glad you made it. I read the book when I was 13 years old (and started Iaido and Kendo at 18 years old because of these books). I reread the book at 20 and again at 27. It’s been a few years- and was stretching my brain to remember how the book compares to the episodes. Your videos are the best on KZbin! Thank you. 💕 I go to Japan next week again to prepare for my 4th degree test in Kendo. I am glad I got to see this episode and this synopsis before I left. :)

Do you think Yabu was faking being scared at the end? We've seen him have the stomach for fighting, murder and torture (even enjoying boiling people). I doubt he'd be scared to the point of freezing especially against an "enemy" he knew wouldn't kill him. I personally believe he was playing possum so that he could justify not helping blackthorne and indirectly help the assassins.

I will never gorget the disrespect the echidna woman got like what she do to deserve that

He has a movie, guy?

I’ve been watching a few “reaction” channels and while Blackthorne’s reunion scene was clearly shorter than what you described from the books, it seems to be having an impact on non-book readers all the same (reactors seem to immediately get that Blackthorne has really changed just from that short interaction with his old shipmate). Perhaps the writers simplified it primarily for non-book readers? Either way, I loved the episode though Hiromatsu’s scene really messed me up. This is my favorite Shogun recap channel by far! Keep up the amazing job! 🔥🔥🔥

Love love love your videos. KZbin was playing games and I had to go back through my watch history to find your earlier reviews so I could catch up with your breakdowns. Happy I found the channel again 🔥💪🏽🔥

I agree with you. It's better to enjoy the show for what it is and forget about the book.

I know Buntero is a bad guy, but I feel for him at this point. Didn't think I'd ever say that. He looks absolutely shattered.

Forgot to mention the lack of boss fights and the fact that the one and only "human woman" boss fight that we have is quite literally the toughest one to go through even when you're in the symbiote suit. It's actually very ridiculous how hard wraith was in the game. I got beat by her like seven times.

Another eventful episode! Some good, some bad but all worth talking about. Sorry for the delay, YT thought kept blocking the vid so I had to re-edit 4 times😑. Thanks to everyone who watches these vids, I know I upload these breakdown videos later than most so you really don't have to watch mine. I appreciate those that do , it doesn't go unnoticed! RIP Hiromatsu🫡.

It’s funny you mentioned Game of Thrones because that last scene gave me major GoT vibes.

a respectable opinion. good to see someone who doesn't just shit on the Anime/hate the whole series because of the fandom

Not going to lie the second I seen Blackthorn get up and disrespect Toronaga like that it seemed like a performance, I felt like canons were about to rip through Toronagas brothers army but then it went onto the next scene so I'm not so sure now

Not a fan of you putting such a huge spoiler in the thumbnail. Ik i would’ve been upset had I not watched the episode last night

I don't think that JBs behaviour at the meeting was off the cuff, Toranaga had him do it on purpose. It's all part of the plan. Say it in a Baldrick voice "I have a cunning plan!"

I totally agree with you mate, I don’t mind it being different from the book because I can just read the book again. But that scene where Toranaga asks Mariko to pick between her loyalty to him or Blackthorne made no sense in the series because we haven’t seen them be close since the earlier episodes. I get that they’re trying to tell the story through a ‘wider lens’ and not focus as much on their relationship but I just don’t feel any chemistry between them, which kind of sucks… I loved the scene in the brothel in the previous episode where Kiku ‘spoke through’ Mariko to Blackthorne and they realised their desires for each other but it wasn’t enough to keep the romance alive, if you know what I mean? Really enjoying the show so far though and I’m loving these breakdown videos mate, you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber!

Season one was 70% cool fights and epic plot development mixed with 30% woke stuff that you just had to roll your eyes at and skip quickly. Season two has 70 to 80% woke or boring teen angst nonsense that you must ignore or skip to advance the main plot... And it never fails... Whenever I saw something too weird or artificial I would ask a friend who read the comics and he was like: "no... there isn't a gay best friend, a black gf, old viltrumite ladies fighting, or any of that focus on relationship problems in the comics". Basically in the last 4 episodes they hit Omniman a bit, and we find out the orange alien is stronger now... Nothing else happened story-wise after waiting and waiting for those 4 episodes... Newsflash: the type of viewer who likes fights with blood and gore is bored AF with relationship drama BS.

In scene with Toronaga and Gin, Gin says that its not smart to leave an army in the open because spys are everywhere, insinuating that Toronaga's army is secretly larger. He surely may have made more allies around Japan that disagrees with Ishidos machinations

I was waiting impatienly for your review. You're the best reviewer of this show so far.

OVER THE TOP (I’m surprised you didn’t pick it)

An insane episode. Some good, some bad but undoubtedly an eventful one! What did you think?

The season just ended and nobody cares

Are you gonna review the rest of the season? That finale was weak af.
