Yes, unfortunately this episode was out of focus. It's the only one that's like that! Sorry! -Sam

A cultural thing to note in feudal Japan is that head collecting was a huge thing. After battles samurai would collect the heads of opponents that they killed and display them to their commanders, then they would record who killed who, they would get rewards or promotions based on the number of heads or if they got the head of someone important. Sometimes the heads would be sent back to their families, sometimes they would be ransomed back. Most of the times they would be buried in special mounds called Kubizuka. During the failed Japanese invasions of Korea that took place just before this show Samurai would take the noses or ears of Korean and Chinese soldiers and civilians back to Japan with them because they couldn't take back the heads. It was a show of respect to send back Jozen's head to Ishido given Jozen's rank and status. And it was also a way to provoke Ishido to make the first move.

You gotta give John some slack, you wouldn't expect someone to actually be executed because you said "Touch my food you die" lol

Correct. Kind unfair putting all the blame on him. Even if he indirectly caused the death.

Really good discussion on Buntaro’s character. Very nuanced and objective. I am very interested in seeing what you make of his character going forward.

Lord Toranaga does have a beautiful way of saying things. He chewed his son out so calmly and eloquently.

John hangs the dead pheasant because it is an aging technique used to soften up the meat and to give it more flavor. Kind of like how really great steaks are dry aged for about a month. And they didn't serve his pheasant. John served rabbit stew in a gravy like sauce. And lastly, the bigger significance of the land slide is not just that it partially destroyed the village but it also wiped out a decent chunk of Toranaga's army that was camped at the bottom of that hill he was on.

The key to understanding Shogun is death, or rather how close to it the people in feudal Japan are. "We live and we die. We control nothing beyond that." Such line can only come from someone who's ready to die. "Baby earthquakes", Yabushige preparing to kill himself at sea, Yabushige writing his will before meeting Toranaga and casually saying that it was his best death will yet, and Uejirou in this episode. Everyone but Blackthorne's ready to die. And that's precisely why he doesn't get it. And we the viewer are no different from him. We don't get it either. Most of us end up blaming the language barrier for Uejirou's tragedy. When in truth, if it were a Japanese man in Europe fermenting fish to make narezushi and telling his house servants "touch, you die", they would've at least tried to dissuade him. So it's not really the language barrier that's at fault; it's the difference in their attitude towards death. These feudal Japanese people have an insanely low threshold for dying. Death is just too familiar to them. They're ready to die at any time, and that's normalcy. And it is normal. Granted, it is wrong to accept death so easily, but when you're put in an environment where you're constantly exposed to deaths, it's not weird at all to become so numb to it. In fact, in the beginning of episode 1, the captain of the ship Blackthorne was on told him: "Pilot, it’s nothing to fear. It’s a blessed release. It’s like only a soft wind in your face." So this obsession with death is not unique to Japan. It's just a phenomenon. One that has so tragically yet beautifully manifested in feudal Japan. I'm afraid most viewers, without understanding this, would simply resort to orientalism and reinforce cultural misconceptions and even racial stereotypes.
