That was such a 🔥 first episode. This series is shaping up to be incredible. Great review, you covered some stuff I totally missed so I hope you cover the rest of the show too!

[@zodicore]

Thank you! 🥰

Spoilers, Omi actually becomes one of Black Thorns closest friends. Atleast from the 80's version.

[@zodicore]

I can totally see that happening! I pissed on you, now we’re best buddies.

This was a fantastic summary. Can I suggest putting the words (Full Spoilers) in your future video titles? The little ball you load into a cannon is a cannonball or round shot. I'm astounded by your recall of all of the characters' names. I read the book when it came out, watched the original mini-series and still can't recall the non-central characters' names. Hiroyuki Sanada (Torunaga) is a great actor, but to see what he as done as Producer in the first episode reassured me that the series would be an instant classic. As a side note Asano Tadanobu (Yabushige) is famous for being a quirky actor. However he can effortlessly transform and play almost any role quite convincingly. I feel like this contributes to him not being more well known outside Japan. Casting directors like to pigeon hole actors. This is the first time I can recall seeing Anna Sawai (Mariko) and Cosmo Jarvis (Blackthorne). Their acting is superb. I feel like Jarvis's physical appearance suits the role, but even if it hadn't his acting would make up for it. For his eyes, I wonder if they used post-processing or contacts. Regardless, my guess is that they wanted the blue to be more noticeable. Maybe not the best choice. Also, Fief, Fife, Foaf, Fumf, I smell the stench of an English man... merchant... privateer... pirate... Looking forward to your future summaries. You have helped me recall a few minor things. I would not want to live in most places/cultures on earth during this period. Even being a King was no guarantee against violence and definitely not against disease.

Thank you so much for your comment. I will definitely add a "Spoiler" warning in all my recaps in the future. I love Tadanobu. He is an excellent actor, but I can honestly say that for most of the cast. Episode 2-3 reviews coming soon!

Yeah they are pirates. No matter how much he denies that description

[@zodicore]

Right?! They’re totally pirates. I wonder if we’ll ever learn what was in those rutters.

Ishido isn't really wrong though. The whole point of the council was to share the regency until the heir comes of age. So Toranaga suddenly making a bunch of marriage proposals and expanding his power is very suspicious.

[@zodicore]

Right! Toranaga is definitely being sneaky.

[@Aeolusdallas]

You are one of the few reviewers who have noticed that Toronaga isn't all sunshine and rainbows@@zodicore

[@zodicore]

You would set fire to the ship knowing that there are still survivors on board?
