[@PescaterianmanOctopus]

Alvito was always honest. From the moment he translated his first words to Toranaga to the end of the show. It was Blackthorne war against the Catholics that blindsided him from seeing his true friend.

[@lettuceman9439]

Both he and the head priest had more screen time in the books and the old show with the deviantion from the books being the cut between Blackthorne and the Captain Ferera but both clergymen were honest though stuck in the imperial ambition of Portugal and Spain even during the confirmation of the treaty father Aquina told the truth seeing that lying to the japanese were more harmful than good and that they kept their words even protecting Blackthorne in the book against the captain of the black ship.

[@princedavid88]

His character was consistent from the beginning. He translated Blackthornes words truthfully, made the Catholics sit with Toranaga and honored Marikos final wish.

[@lukefury8162]

I think priest alvito was also in love with mariko

Because we are so used “”””Hollywood”””” making the holy man the bad guy, whose uses religion for his own selfish desires. That when they make a character who is genuinely religious and good we are surprised.

[@superbientotal1]

The heartbreaking subtleties of this scene of Anjin and Alvito in the woods - both loved Mariko/Maria in their separate ways, both had very deep affection for her; for Anjin, it was something akin to growing romantic love and perhaps even friendship as next to Yabushige, Mariko was the closest thing to a friend he had in Japan who didn’t predominantly see him as a well-liked but ultimately playable pawn as Toranaga saw him. For Alvito, there was what seemed a protective older brother’s love - something not lost in the cross that Alvito gave to a younger Mariko as a tether to keep her nearer to hope, and which interestingly became the token of grief and love that Anjin took from her dead body to remember her by (and which, heartbreaking detail, he was holding ever so tightly when he was quite ready to take his own life in protest of Toranaga’s putting the village to the sword). The two of them talking in the woods - Anjin and Alvito - is incredible as they’re both deeply mourning the same woman they loved - romantically for Anjin, brotherly/spiritually for Alvito, and in their shared grief something of a peace and almost brotherhood emerges. All possible because of the tragic loss of Mariko/Maria. Her presence over them, between them, within them in those woods is just - whoa.

[@fellforit]

In the book, Ainjin and Mariko had a passionate and brief affair while travelling to Osaka by foot. Spending many nights together, to the despair of their guards, it ended with the explosion. It made the loss all the more tragic and Blackthorne's despair all the more understandable.

My sentiment exactly. Everything was phenomenal - the sets to the costumes to the cinematography, but the actors brought it all together. The entire cast smoked it from major ones like Blackthorne, Toranaga & Lady Mariko to the major minor ones like Tommy Bastow as Father Alvito to Sinnosuke Abe as Buntaro & Tadanobu Asano as Yabushige. So good. If they don’t receive awards for their superlative work, it’ll be an epic travesty. 🙂👍

Mariko loved him deeply. The deal was her idea and she came up with it before they even left for Osaka. His life was so important to her that she made sure he was safe and protected even after her death. Just thinking about that makes me want to cry all over again.

[@ronniemitchell6170]

This is why she held his finger when he asked her to consider living for him, he reciprocating without even knowing, lady Mariko spent her whole life being considerate to everyone for the greater of good for the realm, constant sacarfice, and anjin shows her worth in a simple line...the opposite of what she was striving for....

In a lot of ways I think Alvito was just trying to make the best of his circumstances and was honest in his missionary work. Him respecting Mariko's wishes sealed it for me. It's not his fault he was caught up in a global empire and more senior clergy basically wrote him off every time he tried to re-orient them to their mission to God.

This scene, for me, was the pinnacle of Episode 10. The nonsense of wars. Human beings that cannot tolerate the differences in such a matter that the other "must die". Followed by the dialogue between Yabushige and Toronaga. The smile of Toronaga, answering Yabushige at the very moment Yabushige is going.

Every clip I've watched of this series I've been above all amazed by the quality of the dialogues.

[@KenjiMapes]

The entire casts was incredible, but the fact that Tommy Bastow was able to shine in his scenes as Father Alvito speaks volumes of his work. He really exuded a decent Portuguese Catholic holy man who was caught between living the values of the church he believed with the real life politics of the country of Japan he was in that in essence challenged him. Also he really showed concern for Lady Mariko & decency with John Blackthorne. I mean the fact that Tommy had to do that haircut truly shows his dedication to the craft.😆🤣 And wow. That admission of Father Alvito who was a decent man at heart showing the power & grace Mariko had in this world was emotional. They crushed that scene. Anna Sawai’s performance as Mariko was so good you felt her presence in that scene. Cosmo showing all that emotion on his face was beautiful but heart breaking. I love that many mentioned Blackthorne’s bow of respect to Father Alvito. This finale was so good. I don’t know how they pulled it off. Everyone wanted a spectacular CGI battle but we amazing got calls, cutbacks, a flash forward, exposition, story telling & a dream within a dream; yet everyone freaking loved it. That is art. That is story telling. That is cinema or tv at its best hitting on all cylinders. If the show’s producers/show runners & actors don’t receive awards it’ll be a travesty.

I thought this scene depicted Bushido's view of life and death through Mariko's death. Mariko continues to live, searching for value and purpose in death as well as in life. She is proud of her family lineage, accepts the mission given to her by Toranaga as the value of her death, and in the end, Mariko... He died while saving Anjin's life. Even though Mariko didn't appear in this scene, I think it was a wonderful scene that beautifully and poignantly portrayed Mariko's soul.

Mariko christian name Maria how both although of different cultures. Father Alvito served his purpose as a man of God and she ensured John was safe even after she was gone. Both lost a dear friend, John lost his love. Mariko will live on as a fearless honorable warrior graceful in elegance as a Lady.

I could not stand the priest and his [period accurate] hatred for protestants. He even admits to Blackthorne that he would have died there had Mariko not asked to spare him (in return for the ship). I cannot reconcile empathy with murderous intent. Blackthorne is the better and more honest man imho along with the protestant faith.

Best scene of the show. Alvito was such an impactful character despite little screen time. Edit: only flaw of the show is that there is no way Mariko remained in one piece after that blast.

Blast works in many ways. Sometimes people next to the blast are untouched, but others near them are killed, depends on the explosives & nature of surrounding materials.

Also that and there is no way Tornaga's ridiculous plan would work.

[@natopor]

In the book this scene was quite different (If I make a mistake someone please correct me. It's been so long since I read the books) Blackthorne is actually escorted by Dell'Aqua instead of Alvito. John doesn't trust him, betting that the portuguese plan to kill him but Dell'Aqua assured him that's not the case. However once they reach the port Captain Ferriera and his crew await for Blackthorne and to burn him. This ends with a standoff between Ferriera and Dell'Aqua, the latter threathening to excomunicate Ferriera and his crew. Ferriera gives up and and orders his men aboard the ship. All follow except for one who tries to shoot John. Howevever the samurais kill him. This scene was present in the original show, except Ferriera is the one who dies.

The part that everyone is missing here is that in 1616 Toranaga (historically Known as Tokugawa) wiped out the Christians in Japan. Its estimated he killed over 250,000 of his own people, to root out Christianity once and for all, and confined the Portuguese to Nagasaki for the next 250 years.

Throughout the show we see Alvito as this stereotypical villain. The evil priest, who would stop at nothing to kill Blackthorne. This pageant brute from England But as the show progresses he notices Blackthorne becoming one of the people in Japan. A man who seems completely different to what he originally was. And this is the moment Alvito decides to let Blackthorne live. Marikos death is of course a catalyst and strong reason for keeping Blackthorne alive, but I believe he truly had faith in him.

Both he and the the head priest had a lot of their screentime cut with almost no confrontation between Blackthorne and the Captain of the black ship

I never saw him as a stereotypical villain, he was clearly a good man who tried to help people, but constantly got caught up in the machinations of his much more cynical and corrupt superiors.

Mmm. I think, a Portuguese Jesuit priest wouldn't have said "Good luck," but "Vá com Deus."
