This episode was painful. lol I started hyped af, and ended yelling at the screen

[@mamorintan]

I'm really shocked. Nagakado wanted to be loved by his father, to be recognized, and to achieve something great. He should have waited a little longer. I feel so sorry for him.

[@pretty-white-lamb]

yes but sadly he behaved like a fool from start to his end 😣

[@greenarmyteam1890]

He still the puppet master playing every body

Yes, most people don't understand that I can understand that maybe because I am introvert

[@yd1364]

Probably not going happen anyway…

Kiku getting passed around like a blunt at a frat party.

[@Bob-ou7uq]

7 was totally depressing. I sure hope it changes

[@niCEwan]

3 more episodes? Let's go 👏

[@Thecoolguy463]

Nagakado has always been an annoying brat imo. This death was fitting for his character.

[@RoninTF2011]

Why the f*** must they display Blackthorn as beeing unable to fence? He is the pilot of a ship sailing under a letter of marque...he would know how to fence and would have been in a number of fights. And here is doesn't even get the basics

[@grandethar1121]

Obviously, because he is using katana not rapier.

[@thefirstofthelastones8952]

​@@grandethar1121Plus isn't a Katana more heavier than a rapier?

[@RoninTF2011]

@@thefirstofthelastones8952No, the weight is roughly the same. And the principles of distance and how to have a good grip on a sword, will be the same... he would look clumsy, but not as totaly cluesless as in the film

[@LoSTDoNe]

Love it. Keep it up bro.

Dragging this shit out now

[@adig3801]

lowkeyyyyyyyy

[@dominican200]

Shame showrunner and studios are considering wether or not to push for a second season. And it's true they have spent this time building things up. Hope it does continue

[@herschelleseteria4280]

Theres no season 2 its a mini series and we are at the end of the book

[@SplashAttackTCG]

Lol, that ending ruined it for me. Such a wasteful death.

[@leonrussell9607]

That was sort of the whole point

[@davidk6269]

I haven't read the book, so I don't know what will happen next. But my guess is that Toranaga and his half-brother Saeki have a secret plot to double-cross Ishido. Toranaga is pretending to "surrender" to his half-brother and allow himself to be "escorted" back to Osaka Castle--this way, Toranaga is able to avoid the very dangerous task of trying to fight his way to Osaka with a smaller army against a larger floe. Once at Osaka Castle, Saeki will reveal the double-cross and side with Toranaga with his full army at the gates of Osaka. That's my current theory. So it is actually providence that causes Toranaga's son's foot to slip and save Saeki from being killed by the son who doesn't know the plan, and was trying to murder Saeki. What do the others think of my idea?

[@aleccap5946]

The plan is obviously getting to the gates of the castle, he can't do that as an attack, so living a long life he hasn't come this far be surrendering now, episode 8 and i am spot on

[@michaellattimore518]

I second this. I think Toranaga has devised a plan with his brother for once he is inside Osaka. Also, what has the spy been up to the last two episodes?

[@tayduatrinhcoi]

@@michaellattimore518Spy was probably sent to hook the Catholic priests and the Catholic Daimyos up so they will turn on Ishido.

[@IOXY3]

I agree. According to my Japanese student who’s from Osaka, Ieyasu’s army is relatively small compared to Mitsunari’s but before the battle of Sekigahara, Ieyasu made some deals and some of his enemies defected to his side.

[@thefirstofthelastones8952]

There was no music in the end credits... That's a sign s#!ts gonna get real!

[@sbyerley]

This episode does not follow the book. Not at all….Only one scene was appreciated: the stick of passing time conversation between Gin & Toranaga. Overall feeling about this episode: let down & disappointed with screen writers.

[@dannyanggawan]

they succesfully toying with our emotion. After wait for a week for this episode, watching Toranaga's surrender feels like a dissappointment. I wish i see his maneuvre, but not.

[@IOXY3]

This is based on history and Torunaga wins at the end.
