Anjin never returns to England. When he attempted seppuku he was reborn, this was why there was a flashback to his dream and timeline. His earlier dream was to return to England. Now he has embraced being there. When he puts Mariko's rosary into the water, he has let go of the past and focuses on the new, unknown future. The Dream of a Dream.... In the book, when he attempts seppuku (in a different scene and time), he is reborn a true samurai and hatamoto in reality, not just in name. Also, at Yabu's seppuku scene, Toranaga essentially tells Yabu that he was correct. Toranaga's ultimate goal was always to be Shogun. That is why he gives a slight grin to Yabu at the end. In addition, "why tell a dead man the future" was confirmation of this. This is the line Yabu told Omi in the first episode. Toranaga always knew and always had a plan that could bend and reset with the wind...

yall should watch the latest ‘Actors in Actors’ with Tom Huddleston & Anna Sawai. it was sooooo goood

I started watching this channel cuz of got reatctions, ive rewatched and study got/story of westeros way too many times reactions are fun. Its cool to see morgan in that bar videos not knowing her and then find out her personality! lol def subbing already binged you guys watching hotd/fallout/boys/ got obviously i was sad i couldnt find loki season 2 or some other shows i rewatch old ones like/ Peaky Blinders/breaking bad/ justified/or even gravity falls also always wish there was some kobe content but lol love yall already

We did meet Mariko's son earlier in the show - there was a scene when he and Mariko were eating dinner and laughing and Buntaro walks in and says something like "You're teaching him to laugh just like a little girl".

Such a great adaptation. Nailed the tension, intrigue, and reveals. The novel is a masterpiece and this lives up to it as well as anything ever could.

Even the captain of the ship chose to kill himself in the very first scene of the show, before even reaching Japan.

38:30 Fallout 76’s $12/month subscription just adds some things like extra storage, game currency, and free cosmetic item skins, it’s not necessary to actually play the game. I’ve been playing on and off since launch and while it still has some issues, it’s a really good game right now.

It wasn't a flash forward. That was the significance of showing the cross in the vision of a future and him throwing it into the ocean, negating the veracity of the vision. Whenever you saw that vision he was asleep dreaming it. This show is based on historical events. Toranaga is Tokugawa Ieyasu. John Blackthorne is William Adams. You can look up what happens next. William Adams never left Japan. The Tokugawa Shogunate last for like 246 years. A peaceful time.

16:20 - "I will take my life at sunset." Hmmm....at sunset, when the SKY is CRIMSON, perhaps?

That ambush reminded me so much of a very specific scene from Better Call Saul

7:56 i know the writing for this season sucks ass but, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO USE A DAGGER, ITS JUST A FNACY SHARPER KITCHEN KNIFE, Its a simple fu-king concept -Odin (GOW:R)

i love how the charge and the music with the flaming swords and everything is hyping us all up so much we forget what show we're watching, until we're reminded by it when the dead destroys both our hopes for our characters survival and the dothraki army

Old John back in England was his dream. He gave up on it, literally turns his face from it, in the seppuku scene. He never leaves Japan.

Abe is the goat😂😂😂

It was the point at which Blackthorne was ready to commit seppuku, when he finished with his "possible future". It was all just visions, a "dream within a dream". The real "Blackthorne" ( William Adams ) became the first and only European to be elevated to the rank of samurai and one of the closest advisors at the court of Shōgun "Toronaga"( Tokugawa Iyeasu). He never traveled to Europe again, married a Japanese woman and had two children. He sent letters and alimony to his English family at certain intervals. He offered the Shōgun his services as an expert in shipbuilding, as a navigator, with his knowledge of European politics and as someone who could speak several languages. The Shōgun then decided that his "old" self was now dead and that he should live on "anew" as Miura Anjin( 三浦 按針 ). Great Reaction and best regards

A really cool thing about the final episode: the scene where the ashes are scattered was done a lake in British Columbia. Years earlier, it was at that lake that James Clavell's ashes were scattered. His daughter was there when they filmed the scene, and the symetrry blew her away.

Mariko IS Crimson Sky

Just want to say, I discovered you guys through blue eye samurai. I can't believe you weren't in my reaction algorithm, what have I sold my soul to Google for??? You guys are awesome ❤

i dont rly understand why kyiama suddenly cared about mariko not dying a honorable christian death. until now (even in the same ep no lless) they only painted him as a money chaser who sees no value in christianity other than the gold. and out the blue hes the driving emotional force of the christian conflicted on the other side? jarring

“Why tell a dead man the future” is what yabushige told omi in episode 1, so toronaga saying this reveals that he’s known about yabushige’s treachery all along

Mariko sama said Hodor and I respect that

Cecil actually did nothing wrong😊

When Yabushige commits seppuku, he turns back towards Toranaga and a small smile forms on Toranaga’s face. I think that was Toranaga telling him that he did always want to be Shogun.

With this being conceived as a one season adaptation that got renewed for two more seasons, I hope the showrunners and writers can manage to not tarnish the incredible run they've already put to screen.

"why tell a dead man the future". Great callback from epidode 1. Either Omi or that squire was also spying for Toranaga.

Morgan is the the Grand Moracle. I bow to her foresight.

The flash forward was completely in Johns imagination because he is holding Marikos crucifix as an old man and he throws it in the water in real life.

Well that sh*t was damn near perfect! A really incredible and elegant wrap up to one of the years best shows! Check www.Patreon.com/SeanTanktop FOR WORLD EXCLUSIVES!

Warzone armor system 🍓🌺

Blackout best BR ever 💋🔥

16:45 Sean has learned the secret of anime cliffhangers. A terrifying power indeed

Late to the party on this, but I’ve always felt it was purposeful that Mustang, the only person we saw unwillingly open the portal, didn’t physically lose a body part.

13:23 Kenny the Editor is the real star of these videos 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

All of us watching Red Wedding reaction videos makes us worse than Walder Frey. He only watched it once, while we watch it repeatedly while cackling madly.

These documentaries about Australia are wild.

The alito edit was pretty funny

Are you the guy from daddy chill?

Creator confirm that Ed is they. Ed is non binary like a computer.

“If my dad knew I sacrificed a whole community……”…..lord have mercy lol

I love the unnecessary aesthetic of the Mad Max universe. they're all barely surviving yet they take time to make fancy masks and decorate themselves with feathers and fur and carefully manufactured ornamental metal spikes and shit. I was a huge Mad Max fan when I was little and when I was a teenager I saw Tank Girl and said "they're style is so Mad Max" --the vibe is "we're constantly 2 minutes from dying but we look cool"

The drummer in that scene is the same drummer for the band Coldplay.

One of my favourite scenes in the whole show, even the kettle in the background couldn't ruin it.

As someone who was reading the manga as it came out, waiting for A MONTH after this cliffhanger was pure torture.

16:18 Best cliff hanger transition EVER! It's so abrupt, unexpectedly perky, and absolutely hilarious😂

Siempre vuelvo aquí cuando quiero ser feliz ❤️‍🩹

It's such a dilemma, I don't know if I love or hate Cersei haha I mean, I hate, she is bad, but there's moments that she is so fucking awesome and has great lines... And Lena's acting makes it hard to totally hate her!

"what is this RAW DOGGIN PHONES?" lol

north remember

Edit: Ga-bortions! Lmao😂 ~ I always love your reactions, but this period of time I'm loving your Fallout updates. Great analysis and thoughts guys. Glad you enjoyed it🤙🏾
