"The Heir requested an audience with the Anjin." SHŌGUN - Chapter Nine: Crimson Sky

There are a lot of people who are watching Shōgun who describe it as unlike anything they’ve seen. To me, the beauty of the series can be summed up by these two thoughts.

Despite the fact that Yabushige was a selfish backstabber who only thought of himself and absolutely deserved his ending… I was still sad because he was such a relatable character.

Despite the fact that Toranaga achieved everything he did and avoided as much bloodshed as possible, and brought about the Edo period, one of the longest periods of peace and stability in Japan… at the end I still was like “Is he really the good guy? Or just the winner and the lesser of two evils?”

One of my favourite things in Japanese dramas (and culture overall) is the power in the absence or something. I didn’t need to see the battle of Sekigahara to know its importance. I didn’t need to see over the top tears to feel their grief. I didn’t need to see dramatics to get the point. I mean, the best part of ep 10 was Toronaga asking Blackthorne “Are you done? We have work to do” after Blackthorne nearly kills himself. I laughed so hard at that line.

I think the idea of the power of something’s absence is another thing that many western viewers won’t be used to, which is what is sticking with them.

My stupid fan brain is doing stupid stuff again. The two shows are not connected in anyway shape or form but I can’t help but think about this:

Man shipwrecked in Japan and doomed to stay there for the rest of his days as a figure (pawn) in his lords court. Learning to live and respect the ways of the land that he now calls home:

His granddaughter born believing that her bloodline came to her homeland to ravage and disrespect it. Swearing vengeance not simply on that but on that she was born by his blood:

Oh Jesus Christ I think they both have blue eyes too

(There is a small theory going around that Mizu is likely the descendent of William Adams. The Englishman who Blackthorn is based off of so yeah. One thing led to another and I came up with this)

finished shōgun last night and can I say I think this is how we should start doing white saviour narratives from now on. Like yeah you could say John Blackthorne is a white saviour but GOD is he bad at it. spends almost the entire series more like a white damsel in distress. amazing 10/10 no notes

"No Translator!"

The way both Blackthorne and Fiji looked at the empty spot where Lady Mariko normally sat with them 😭

I'm watching Shogun (FX) and the main white guy is the most curious mix of Tom Hardy (voice, how he carries himself, face-ish), Josh Hutcherson (face), and Seth Rogen (height, lower face with the beard).
