Whenever you hear English on this show, they’re actually speaking Portuguese. Blackthorn is the first Englishman in Japan so no one speaks it. (The Japanese didn’t even know of the existence of England because the Catholics didn’t tell them). The show-runners decided 100%subtitled show of English and Portuguese wouldn’t appeal to the English speaking audience so made it mainly Japanese with Portuguese spoken in English. Also, Ochiba means fallen leaves in Japanese. This is why leafless branch was mentioned in markups poem, Ochiba looked surprised. It was a hidden message to Ochiba. The only way Marino could communicate to Ochiba without the most shrewd in the know person recognising the deeper meaning/message of Marikos poems. I’ve enjoyed your reactions. Especially the parts where Mariko was bad assing like a boss. May I respectfully disagree with your opinion that Mariko and Bkackthorn f*cked. They politely Pillowed…..HARD. 😊
