1:30 The samurai taking his dead enemy's head is a fantastic detail. This was a common practice during the time period Shogun takes place. The taking of the head of an opponent you had killed in battle was considered evidence that you had done your duty to your lord. It was also used as a method to record who specifically had been killed in battle. Heads of high ranking samurai with recognizable faces would often be presented to a victorious lord at the end of the battle in a ritualized head viewing ceremony known as "Kubi Jikken".

@@KobeJordanHakeemLooking back in history, there’s plenty of “savagery” everywhere, in every time period. In the time we live in now, we can look at things like this and be rightly horrified. But, don’t think that everyone else’s hands were any cleaner. This was their way of life at the time, and while brutal, I’m sure we can find just as much savagery anywhere else, albeit reflavored for different cultures. Some things are just part of the time period, while others can be seen as terrible atrocities. You can go anywhere from Rwanda, Henry the VIII, and Native American genocide to Hitler in that regard, for example. Bloody hands everywhere.
@@KobeJordanHakeem The Romans had their enemies crucified or fed to the lions. The English drowned or burned "witches". The American scalped the Natives. The Aztecs sacrificed both their own people and their captives by ripping out their still beating hearts. Barbarism and savagery are universal human traits. So if you're like "[insert specific culture here] are the real savages", you're wrong. Because your people are also real savages.

When the boy lord swing his sword, I thought "no way it is a clean cut, the show seems to mess it up, but who could ask a child actor to make such a convincing cut". 😅. Of course later the conversation between the adult Toranaga and his most trusted general, Hiromatsu, revealed that the show did not mess it up at all.

All these characters "betraying" Toranaga knew exactly what he was and what his goal was, you really dont get that till the end of the show though. It was really a game of kill or be killed so i really can't look at any of them as "betrayers", they knew what was up. Toranaga was just better at playing the victim as well as playing honorable and that makes all the others look more corrupt and backstabby, that was why they lose in the end.

@@stefan13M given Toranaga was basically planning to use his brother as a back up chess piece I kinda get it. He was trying to play his brother and got played, fair game. I don't really think there were any truly GOOD people vying for power in this show, we saw that at the end when Toranaga was terrorizing Yabu's village after he was the one who burned the boat. Everyone was sacrificing those close to them.

The novel ends, but the history of Japan is interesting from here on out.The battle at Sekigahara with Ishido, a grand location similar to Game of Thrones, thousands of extras, and a bloody battle scene alone could make a second season. In season 3, the battle of Ochiba (Yodo-dono) who turned around and led Toranaga to victory in the Battle of Sekigahara, and his son fights Toranaga at the impregnable Osaka Castle, the winter camp, the battle of the summer camp, and the novel is written in a foreign country. Although the original author is a human being, starting from season 2, Japanese historians and talented screenwriters selected from Japan will be involved in the production, so the Japanese culture will be doubled.In season 2, Ochiha will be played by Fumika Nikaido, who will be the main character. It will be interesting because he will be the main character along with Hiroyuki Sanada.The Battle of Sekigahara, the Winter Siege, and the Summer Siege will reach the climax in history. Also, Mariko-sama and Yabushige, who passed away in season 1, will appear in flashback scenes, so they will likely appear in season 2 as well. Seasons 2 and 3 are likely to have a larger global audience than season 1. Please consider making a season 2.
