I can't wait till this wmaf (White male Asian female) propaganda show is done. I am sick of these anti asian male shows like this and the devil eyes samurai show

Jazko Exclusive

someone on twitter spoiled me man im fucking pissed

bleach

Akila Yaw

*QUICK FACT* loll Mr. “English Hanuman” is played by the same guy who played that( coke-infested…PTSD filled )sniper from “ Peaky Blinders” Just in care

MonarchXIII

What is bro yapping about?? 💀💀

Killjoy

Tf this goofy ass nigga talking about😂

kingBD

Lmao someone doesnt like interracial couples i see

em

seppuku as a ritual involves the person slitting open their belly, then getting decapitated by a second to end their suffering, which is... merciful? ig?

John Cedar

Considering that a knife wound to the belly can take hours or even days to kill you, and what most likely kills you first is septic shock and not blood loss, yeah, it's a mercy 😅

John Cedar

Bro Toranaga and Yabushige are literally using John like a pawn, they are by far the coolest and smartest characters in the show. What are you talking about 😂 John has been used and abused and thrown around for other's purposes the entire show, he's hardly even a protagonist. Also, kinda weird to openly admit you have a problem with interracial couples. Maybe consider feeling a little more shame about your beliefs and keep that to yourself next time, we aren't in the 1950s anymore.

Artdysmal

His death was so silly I couldn’t even laugh my jaw was just on the floor lmao

Grelk

what

Frederick

I was dying when I watched that ending and I’m still dying now. How do you go out like that? 😂😂😂

Anas Ghadfi

To Second means to assist in the seppuku ritual Also that head was yabushige's general (solid snake eyepatch old man) that he sent to ishido to apologize for killing Jozen

A

Folks literally romanticize Japan ALL THE TIME. It's not anti Asian male. Now, is there a problem with wmaf fetishism, absolutely. But this just seems like a way to explore the mystique of Japan without vilifying or deifying them. John is also played, has no options, and is literally only tolerated by like 4 people 😂.

ProKnockz

Bro was so annoying

Bobbie

Ok but john cucks the husband of mariko and then they make the husband a prick. It's NTR plot.

lackingnames

He was already a prick from his introduction bro what the fuck are u on

Boogie's Games

I’m sorry but respectfully “That has to be the SORRIEST death I’ve ever watched” 😭😭😭

Calem

Honestly suprised you guys don't know how seppuku is perfromed

Calem

At a point they wouldn't even cut their belly open, they would motion the act and the second would behead them.

Anas Ghadfi

What the whole fuck is bro yapping about? This was directed by a Japanese man 🤡

AnnaSama

If you have a problem, don’t watch it. If you believe the genre can be improved, explain what you would like to see, instead of just shitting on other people’s art. You’re not wrong about that white bias in HBO shows, but you don’t make change as a hater. Change comes from fans with thoughtful critiques. Once you declare yourself a hater, everyone stops listening. (See above)

Bob

if buntaro snaps i completely undertstand

Jax Lutton

Dawg, the book Shogun has been out for ages. Stop acting like this is propaganda lmao

Saint Nexus

That rock shit had me dying low-key, and I knew the son was going to die...matter of time. Though I got to get this off my chest, Mariko is a bit annoying to me. What I mean, is that it's fucking obvious that you like Arajin/John but you keep being with your husband when you know damn well that neither wants you to die, so if you divorce or say you want to...they not gonna do shit! The husband is still garbage, and he doesn't deserve to see her pain, but he still needs the truth. It feels like those unnecessarily long romance animes 😂. I can enjoy them, but gosh...and then she wants to die Everytime shit goes south in her direction. I think she has major depression for real, and I can say that as someone diagnosed. Man, I'm starting to understand my parents 😭

Gilthwixt

I haven't watched episode 8 so no spoilers, but there was a lot of cool speculation going on last week when this aired. My favorite and most plausible is that in the scene where Gin (the head courtesan) speaks with Toranaga, she's saying he DOES have a plan and she knows about it, and is extorting him for her secrecy. That's why he leaves her 2 acres of land or whatever later when he's writing his will. I mean, he's famous for trickery after all. There were other good theories too but I'll just wait til we watch Episode 8 since they may or may not be spoilers. Not sure how much it can spoil, given that this whole show is based on real historical figures, but apparently they've already deviated a little from the book that was loosely based on history, so.

kingBD

You have to remember they have different customs which is why john and her had that scene a couple episodes ago. I have to tell myself this crap every episode cause preforming seppuku? Yea fuck no ill take going out in some form of battle before that option

Matthew Osteen

Yeah when commiting seppuku there's a second guy there who cuts your head off after you stab yourself. Or just does the whole thing if your too scared to do it.

Saint Nexus

The seppuku part isn't what gets me, I'm trying to understand, does she have to if they divorce? Toranaga made it sound easy as hell to divorce, and so I guess it comes down to the husband if he'll accept that. I don't know man, I guess I just hate her lack of agency yet puts the emotional weight of "kill me" on someone else. Like honestly, if she wanted to die that badly, I wouldn't wait on my husband permission...I'm doing it. Just, if she at least would try to say something like that to him, it would mean a lot. Yet the only thing she tells him is that she wants to die, which going through what she went through... valid. It just gives me the same feeling as a man beating your behind and yet you still crawl to him and care for him or something. It just gives me that feeling, like if you don't like it..leave. Toranaga would likely make sure she stays safe with whatever she chooses.

ComeTseMe

Toranaga’s son vs Saeki turned into a whole Tom & Jerry bit; just insert the Tom & Jerry background music with the slip sound effect and it’s pure comedy

kingBD

Honestly i have no clue but i feel its tied to some form of loyalty maybe? To some degree i love some of their customs but definitely hate other parts too. Hopefully we get some type of answer or change in her by the end of the show

Leopold

You're forgetting that she has no decision when it comes to divorce. It's all up to Buntaro since Mariko is his property.

2026-10-28 00:00 the Seppuku causes a lot of pain. You need someone to cut your head off after committing that or you will die in pain over 20 minutes
2024-04-10 03:22

Saint Nexus

Still, I feel like I just need a scene where she tells him that's what she wants. It may be like she has no agency, but I feel based on the dialogue and such, that Toranaga would defend her, and the husband while upset, would take it as the best option. Cause he obviously not happy either. I just hope it gets wrapped up soon. Cause it's apparent that everybody knows, yet try to ignore as best they can when they low-key know they can't.

Gilthwixt

As an Asian male I gotta apologize for the brethren, some of them have gone down their own weird version of the redpill rabbit hole raging about the fetishization of Asian women and featuring them in interracial relationships. I've seen their threads on Mr. and Mrs. Smith and lemme tell you, it wasn't pretty. I don't agree with the mentality, though I do understand where it comes from; a lot of data pulled from dating apps and surveys suggest Asian men are the least likely to get matches 2nd only to black men, and that Asian women statistically match less with Asian men than other races, especially when comparing the rate women of all races match with Asian men. For a very long time Asian men have not been seen as sex symbols, which is why Jet Li can kick Isaiah Washington's ass in Romeo Must Die but not kiss Aaliyah by the end (they literally changed it to a hug because test audiences reacted poorly). Things have changed significantly in the last 5-10 years with the rise of K-POP and actors like Steven Yeun, Simu Liu and Kumail Ali, but negative mentality is a stubborn thing and a lot of millenial Asian guys are salty they got passed up in high school.

JIMBO

exactly was gonna comment that about having someone "second" a person

Danger Tomato

Yeah man I'm sick of these fetish shows this show sucks and we shoulda got monster but instead we get this lame show and my fries are cold and soggy and man fuck this show is so boring and like fuck man aw man my fries are dead

VanessassaryEvil

I want to like this but there are 69 likes and I can't be the one to ruin it. I'll come back.

Sugoi_Boi__

Damn, was just about to like it too. Guess I’ll wait as well, I can’t be the one to pass 69 either

dune part 2 come on come on

John Cedar

Bro women don't have choice or agency, she can't just tell her husband she doesn't want him anymore. Like John said, women are literally property in Japan, Europe, and pretty much everywhere else in the world at the time. Her desire for suicide goes much deeper than depression, it is complete cultural indoctrination about the ritualistic nature of honor in death. She feels like she is being denied her right and honor to join her family in death, as that is what people are taught to desire in this time. We cannot relate to her suicidal ideations in the slightest because we simply do not think about life in the same way though our modern lens. Mariko has had almost no choice in anything she has done in her life. Choosing to become a Christian is one of her only identifiable traits that she herself chose. This is why she and every woman that lives under this subjugation needs their "eightfold fence", to disassociate as much as possible to deal with the fact that they have no agency and their life is not their own. This is not an uncommon thing that women across many cultures had to do as they had to face horrors every day in a society that allowed and encouraged such horrors.

Saint Nexus

That's the thing I briefly mentioned. They don't have agency, but Toranaga seems like he doesn't care about that as much. In his talks, he gives her the choice to choose, her husband while he may not be willing, she still could likely tell him. I don't want to sugarcoat or make light of it, but the worst he could do is beat her for making that proposal. And she wants to die anyway, so her telling him that wouldn't mean much right? I feel she wants to live personally. Cause though her life was not her own in the grand society of Japan, in Toranaga's company, it becomes apparent more and more that she has a choice. They're property, but I feel the show has given hints that of this current point in time, she has a choice. She just doesn't want to make it seemingly, but I'll be honest and say that may be in large part of her background and society. As for her family, that's just how she feels, even though Toranaga himself said that it's honoring him and others that she lives, so that's why I felt it went into depression. And depression can happen from a situation like hers, that kind of stuff gets amplified even. You can believe she's completely valid and I believe for the most part she is, but I'm not sure if she not reading the room, but she already dishonoring her husband and no one is going to give her death. So she really could use that to her advantage in what she does or say.

Saint Nexus

I think it also goes into that Toranaga doesn't care, because he got more pressing issues. And though she doesn't have agency or is seen as property, so were many black slaves and women before current era. I'm not expecting her to go that far, but you can't blame me for wanting agency for a character that I'm only frustrated at, because she keeps wanting to die and I personally don't like that mindset from her. Like, I'd prefer her to use that fearlessness of death to find honor in another way besides death, and seek her own happiness like her father would want. I guess I want to see her progress as a person by building herself up, and it went might go well with being the opposite of the kid shogun's mom.

Anas Ghadfi

Critizing white bias in 2024 is a delusional take lmao can white people not exist anymore? I find Netflix and disney minority-fest disgustingly overdone and im Arab lol

Red Death

Ngl his death is on Toranaga. Bro kept seeking his approval and doing outrageous shit to prove himself.

Cam Kaneki

Dawg that ending is not supposed to be that funny… I couldn’t even hear the after reaction talk over my tears. Like nah

fili0938

Nagakado's plan wasn't even bad. It was working until he got really unlucky

Hey Hey Me

It was considered shameful if you cannot cut someone's head off in one strike. I see it as a final middle finger from the other general, like a way to spoil Toranaga's first victory.

Nate

There's about 100 naked once or twice japanese names don't expect them to remember them all

Nate

Bro forgot to put his crocs into Sport mode

Nate

Bro should added the flex seal for better grip

John Cedar

I think that it's actually considered dishonorable for the head to roll around on the floor after, so they trained to cut precisely to leave a bit of skin and not cut all the way through so the head would remain attached. They never do that in movies because it would be a lot more of a gross and complex effect and it's also just more dramatic for a head to hit the floor after one sword strike. Personally, I think the warlord just really respected Toranaga and wanted to give him full respect for winning the battle, but he didn't think it through about a 12 year old not having the upper body strength for that.

Freeofgreed

I think Shera is dead on with the whore basically implying that this was all Torunaga's plan and I think Roshi is deadon with his read of Buntaro being a tragic character.

J Man

🤡

Aery

I am actually enjoying Buntaro’s character the most recent episodes. Though he treats Mariko badly, but he is still a man from his time. I don’t think he is particularly worse than Yabishige or Toranaga. He probably himself can’t see the reason for Mariko’s aversion to him and attraction to Blackthorne, which just frustrates him all the more. This episode really showed some insight into his tragic character And I might be wrong about this, but I’m pretty sure Mariko hated the marriage to Buntaro because of his lower standing and that is the main reason for her dislike in the beginning.

Yusuf

Sheera is correct about the old whore.

Gabe

Seppuku after the tokugawa shogunate took over actually became more getting your head chopped off rather than cutting your stomach. At some point, the person killing themselves could use something symbolic like a fan instead of a knife, and as soon as they twitched for it the second would cut their head off.

Gilthwixt

It's not the white bias he's upset about, it's the fact that in a show that's 99% minorities, the white dude is the only one all the women want to sleep with lol. Apparently they toned it down from the book, which spends a lot of time talking about how huge Blackthorne's dick is, especially compared to Asian ones 💀. It was the 80s though so times were different then 🤷‍♂️

Bobbie

That's bullshit. Whites don't have bigger dicks than asians. In fact it's the opposite. Asians having small dicks is just propaganda from jealous whites

Ohma! (edited)

2026-10-28 00:00 I don't agree that Buntaro loves Mariko, but he does desire / obsess over her. You can't say you love someone and then treat them poorly and be abusive, that's not love. I can't imagine how many times he's insulted her lineage or hurt her throughout thier marriage. He's very self-serving.
2024-04-10 14:28

Fizzy 🐉

One of the Sorriest death in television but hey it plays way to his character lived a fool died a fool

suzukiri

Sheera is def right about this being a long play by Toranaga. I find it hard to believe the "master of trickery" would simply give up. Also Blackthorne's speech about him tricking his vassels into following him to death, i think that was supposed to be ironic in the sense that that's the actual trick. For the enemy to believe a surrender, his people will have to sell it so they would have to believe it as well

ChrisM

I’m glad that little shit died. He was there just fucking shit up

Akila Yaw

Not sure what the snipers name was exactly lol but he was the crazy guy that Tommy wanted to use to shoot that asshole.

kidBuku

That boy done slipped up.

faded

damn that’s harsh lmao. he was a clown tho

faded

We didn’t even get Oppenheimer so nah

Offw0rlder

Nah bro he's lame af, chick was forced into the marriage by honor bound duty. She don't want him, she wants to die. He bein a salty bitch when he's known for years what it was, like the answer is to put on the wife beater cuz she don't love you? Fellas, don't be Buntaro. Move on, don't go out sad on pride

Koifull

Na this man is just a whole racist...

Gmoney

Nah this pretty obviously the typical situation where she treated him like shit for years so he became bitter and started treating her worse

Gmoney

Nah he has every right to be angry but he should have rid himself of her long ago since she wants to die so bad

DonnyBoxcars

The main reason why Mariko doesn't want to be with Buntaro is entirely based on the fact that Buntaro is from a lower class family. He's still samurai but it's like Royalty marrying a poor noble from the country side. While at the same time she be looking up this wild untamed sea barbarian and thinking "i want some of that." Also, that tea house owner might be on to something. It's not like Toranaga to leave such vulnerabilities while negotiating or playing game of thrones. The only times where his conventionally fool proof plans had left him vulnerable, Blackthorne had saved him. So, it's not like Toranaga isn't aware or anticipating fate to be at play here. Also, sometimes in order fool your enemies you have to fool your closest allies. I dunno, I might just be blowing smoke up everyone's ass. I just know this ain't over.

Syd

So unrelated, but are y’all ever gonna finish danganronpa 2?? 💀😭

Blue

not sure if yall know but Toronaga is based off the real life Tokugawa Ieyasu, thats all i will say to not spoil the end

Anthony Chase

It’s not happening they said so on stream a few times. They don’t have a functioning soundboard like they did then.

BYP CLOUD

the seppuku second thing is for when after someone cuts their belly, the Second person beheads them. i assume its so they dont die in agony and it makes for a faster death. ofc in some cases ppl dont have a second and just do the regular belly slit. like the Traitor guy in episode 1 or 2 i believe when he was about to drown.

MP

Wow you're so right, she's "mean" = abuse her! My guy, plz bfr.

Adrian Locke

Nagakado died as he lived Like a clown ass nigga

Zacost

He really said : smell like bitches in here !

DxShadow

4:03 the dude has to gut himself and then gets beheaded, thats how seppuku is..

phantomzxro1

This could be true but I feel like "treating him like shit" part is a bit much. I feel it's more like she was cold to him given the situation. Keep in mind the marriage wasn't ideal for either of them. Both of them felt it as a punishment. She felt her father threw her away and later realized it was to protect her. He felt like he had a shameful wife whose father was a king slayer. I feel he just accepted her but never tried to understand. Now that Anji/John has warmed her some, his pride can't take it.

Devin reid

Patreon is being weird I can’t finish the episode it keeps going black

Akila Yaw

*At the funeral* Them: “HOW DID HE DIE!??!!” Us: “He..He… Slipped on a rock..” Them:🥴🥴

DonnyBoxcars

Yeah, but his misfortune was well deserved for someone who constantly is trying to gamble with everyone else's lives for his "beautiful death" or "legend". He keeps making the first move and messing up which his enemies keep capitalizing on. His father directly told him that it's best to let their enemies make the first move so that they can take advantage of any mistake.

DxShadow

yup and john blackthorne is based off William Adams

mason zeo

brother what? The subtitles said "Lord ishido wanted your general returned..." No names that they had to remember lol

Tay

first 5 minutes was how it felt watching cole on stage sunday night

Jeremiah Neely

Toranaga's son got the Injustice Nightwing treatment. Man went out sad.

Jay

For seppuku you cut into your own stomach and have your second chop your head off soon after so you don’t experience the pain for too long

yeap

fr

suzukiri

@MP gmoney didn't say that at all. Phantom is also correct. Also to point directly to what you said, your definition of love can't really be applied to a society in which people will kill/allow themselves or others they love, to be killed because of something as simple as speaking out of turn. A big point of this show has been Blackthorne realizing everything he thought he knew about people, relationships, how to live, do not apply necessarily outside his general sphere of existence back home in London. I don't think buntaro loves mariko in the traditional sense, but in his own twisted way he obviously feels very strongly towards her, in both a possessive way and a different way too that's hard to pinpoint. I think Roshi is correct

Leon

That was the most clown way to die 🤣

Nii Lomotey

I said the same thing 🤣🤣

Mack

I know Buntaro an asshole but look at shit from his perspective. Dude done fought his way out of sure death just to find out some white man smashed his wife and he got to watch him get all these honors from his Lord. I woulda crashed out worse than him.

Kryptik _

“I’m shootin you later when you not lookin” is craaazyyy 😂😂😂

Anas Ghadfi

"Minority" doesn't apply here this is a Japanese-directed show with 50% of the production crew flown from Japan. The minority is the white man in this case. A grand total of 1 one person wanted to sleep with him. There is clear jealously and hatred in OP's take.

Sean Taylor

talkin allat war talk, nigga died to a rock gtfo lmaooo

Fini Reus

You know there's more to life than getting mad at the dumbest shit.

Highfist

the reason they cut off the head after the man commits suicided is so that they dont have to die in pain.

Midas II

Noooo not my Dawg

Lala

When people do Seppuku, it's normal for them to have "Kaishaku" who cut their heads so they don't have to suffer in pain. Also, Seppuku is an honor for samurai, so assisting was important so as not to make it look unsightly. Normally, in a lord's case, it was done by a vassal, and if it was a vassal, it was done by a relative or colleague. There were also cases in which a person who committed Seppuku asks a person they chose to do Kaishaku. Beheading someone is not an easy task, and if someone with inferior sword skills does the job, it will be a failure. So, in a lot of cases, those who are skilled with swords are chosen as Kaishaku.

Brobi-Wan Kenobi

I feel you but personally I don't think her being honest with Buntaro is gonna get her anything aside from maybe a beating. I don't think he'd let her go if she was honest with him. I mean she's been cold to him from day 1 and constantly asks for permission to die. Yet despite how bitter that makes him he hasn't let her go. I also think he'd actually be less inclined to give her up now as he suspects she has feelings for John.

Lxrd Vegeta

I'm glad he died. He was dumb as hell

Megan Campbell

Yeaaaa?? Insert banana peel?? 😂🤣

Kalas Wing

Similar to the executioners in Hell's Paradise.

Damn so many clappings in the first minute lol

The Dude

I agree 100% with Roshi’s take on Buntaro. Tragic af

Leo

Bro John talking shit and basically calling them pussy in another language was hilarious he definitely felt some type of way especially after buntaro tried to off him.

GojosHoho

I can't even feel bad for him busting his head open💀💀 aura farming instead of killing this dude smh
