The acting was out of this world I originally came for hiroyuki sanada and the guy who plays blackthorne who I remember from upgrade but lady Mariko stole the episode for me her scene with fuji was A1 and yes it's very obvious that's Bae. I also believe yabushige must listen to drake because he a F.A.N. for sure bro even grabbed his tea and adjusted his seat 😭.

Listen I can understand having that initial reflex when a show reflects the historical underbelly of religious and political society in feudal times, but trust me when I say that you can separate the distinction between a disgusting satanic show like "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina", and when you're watching a historically-accurate rendition of 16th century Japan that shows that while there is good faith and religious people (like Mariko, the regular Japanese commoners, and sometimes John Blackthorne), the organized religious society is inherently going to have powermongers like any other institution. And naturally, those who use the word of God for their own greed and schemes will be the first to die and enter Hell.

At least learn about Japanese history and history in general before making stupid comments getting triggered about your religion not being portrayed as amazing sauce.

Nononanon

2024-03-28 16:27:05 +0000 UTC

so are we pretending religion didn't play a massive part in conflicts and political aggression in history again? all things that are quite common knowledge hell there's hundreds of history books written on the subject

The Uprising

2024-03-28 01:33:02 +0000 UTC

It’s not about painting religion in a bad light. It’s about accurately depicting how religion was seen throughout history. And the tension between the different religions. Blackthorne is English. And in those times, the church of England was a Protestant church. Catholicism was also illegal in Britian in those times. That’s why we see Blackthorne so against the Catholics. He isn’t a non-religious person saying religions are bad. He’s a religious person saying that people not following his religion are bad. Which is accurate for those times.

B

2024-03-28 00:56:29 +0000 UTC

Yeah the conflict between the Catholic Christian Nations and the Protestant Christian Nations at this time was intense. No separation of church and state at this time; religious and political conflict were very intertwined.

I remember learning about those religious wars in high school. Specifically how protestants and catholics would both drown antibabtists (who didn't believe in baptisim at infancy). It's very interesting to me how much they HATED each other despite all being christian.

Not to mention both countries (spain and portugal) at this moment had the same King. They didn't like each other, they tolerated each other.

Alex

2024-03-23 12:36:47 +0000 UTC

In the hole it was Dutch, and to any japanese or catholics its portguese. It's an American production and for simplicities sake they've just relegated all european speak to english.

Alex

2024-03-23 12:36:11 +0000 UTC

Not really, it's a historical fact that they hated each other. Henry the viii wasnt too far before this, and then Bloody Mary who brought back catholicism and inquisitions to england, followed by her protestant half sister throwing all that out. It also doesn't paint the Japanese in any special light, they literally killed a man for not bowing, and sentenced a baby to death for his father speaking out of turn. History was rough, all around.

Alex

2024-03-23 12:34:11 +0000 UTC

There's good reason too, Henry viii was only a few years ago, and the queen after him was a catholic that was very unpopular and hard on protestants. Everyone was killing each other and it was one of the most violent periods in european history.

Alex

2024-03-23 12:28:51 +0000 UTC

So a Rutter is a book pilots would keep all their notes in, and use to navigate around the sea back then. They didn't have good maps and charts, so a lot of it was, sail in this direction for this distance (measured by time and the speed you thought you were going) if you see this watch or for this stuff, winds go on this direction this time of year, that sort of stuff. He has 2 rutters, one is his own which he wants back as otherwise he has no way of finding their way back to home, the other is the portuguese rutter they got a hold of which let them sail through magellan's pass and make it to Japan. At that time, rutters were matters of state secrets, so he could be in deep shit with the portuguese for having one of theirs. Also, the captain-general, while nominally in charge of the expedition, at that time was not the leader of the shop, the pilot commanded the ship at sea.

It’s obvious that the show is going to paint the religious people as bad or evil hence what I said it’s a common trope.

2024-03-22 05:41:48 +0000 UTC

Myles Guy

2024-03-22 00:41:21 +0000 UTC

Also at the time Spain and Portugal were the western world powers. With the backing of the Catholic Church the entire new world either belonged to Spain or Portugal. The dividing line ran through what is now Brasil which is why they speak Portuguese instead of Spanish like the rest of Latin America.

the_remora

2024-03-22 00:37:32 +0000 UTC

Blackthorn speaks English (mother tounge), Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish and Latin. If he is speaking with the crew he is speaking Dutch, any time he is speaking to anyone else it's likely Portuguese. The Franciscan Monk is supposed to be a Spaniard but it wasn't mentioned and it probably pulls away from the core story to much to go into that conflict.

But when they were all talking in the hole it was English and then he said I speak a little Portuguese and I’m guessing he’s saying that because they people that Japan has traded with spoke that language so he’s assuming that they’re people in Japan that must speak Portuguese… idk lmao

Giyuu

2024-03-21 19:54:30 +0000 UTC

Blackthorne is a protestant christian, and they hate catholics like the Portuguese and the Spanish. that's what homie got the beef with them... among other reasons that the show will go deep in

Yasuke literally didnt inspire shit. Like the guy above explained, this book been around for ages. And why this gotta be a "race" thing. Dumb mofos like you think everything is based off race that race this. Anyone also mention to you that literally one of the directors for this show is black? "white ppl" thing. i aint even white but that shit just sounds stupid af. so overly used and oftentimes in the least amusing scenarios.

Danny

2024-03-21 16:24:42 +0000 UTC

If you see John speaking to any European that isn't his crew, he's speaking Portuguese. That's the whole story with that

Mervyn Larrier

2024-03-21 16:24:36 +0000 UTC

Yeah I know that the Christianity ban was more a reason to unite Japan and get rid of any European influence. And it worked out very good. Doesn't change the fact that alot had to die tho lol

Dyastro

2024-03-21 15:10:57 +0000 UTC

Anytime you hear English in the show you can assume it is Portuguese. They did that since its an American production, so the main audience is English (having a full Portuguese-spoken show produced in America isn't a good idea). There is also another historical part to it but that'd be spoilers for later in the show.

Moon God

2024-03-21 15:07:58 +0000 UTC

So John is “speaking Portuguese” but it’s in English. Are we to assume that all English in this show is supposed to be Portuguese? Why not just have them speak actual Portuguese and not English to curb down confusion?

He is, but for production's sake we're suppose to pretend he's speaking Portuguese instead of English (unless he's speaking to fellow Englishmen).

MonarchXIII

2024-03-21 11:31:21 +0000 UTC

Yasuke? The anime that not only absolutely sucked, but was barely somewhat loosely inspired by a sole black man who was a notable retainer for a famed samurai lord? Lmao. Yeah… That didn’t inspire shit, least of all not an epic about European powers integrating and forcing their way into a dire time of conflict and conquest in Japan. This show is based off a book published forty or so odd years ago, a tv show from the 80’s, and all inspired by actual historic events... So, the fuck does white people or any race for that matter have to do with anything? On top of that, what other shows even have white people set in feudal Japan right now aside from BES?

Chris

2024-03-21 05:27:44 +0000 UTC

This series has not only brought back memories of the 1980 mini series but some personal memories as well. I remember my mother having a crush on Richard Chamberlain. My father taking the novel to work to read during his breaks and me flipping through the novel as soon as he got home. I was only going to watch one episode but this series is so well done I watched the two available episodes back to back Even the CGI is nearly flawless. The characters, the exploitation and power plays are so well done and written. Looking forward to the next episodes.

Nightwing2090

2024-03-21 05:20:46 +0000 UTC

If this isn't just the live action version of Blue Eye Samurai, then IDK what is 😆. The visuals, the shots, angles, costume and set design, even the set up of the story, the time period, etc. (I could go on and on) is VERY much the same as everything I saw in BES. Which is a GOOD thing! I LOVE IT! Just wish I had Hulu, so I didn't have to risk getting Scurvy from all this Pirating I have to do to watch it 😂

HIM

2024-03-21 05:04:08 +0000 UTC

It's like Cobra Kai, you'll get a lot out of having watched what came before but they do enough to fill you in on the new status quo. If you do want some context though there is a recap video that they officially released to go over some significant story beats.

It's better not perfect. There some minor stuff that series got wrong like Jesuits not wearing orange robes. Which is something they did to be taken seriously in Japan. Because Buddhist monks wore orange. Another the handguns used were in the wrong timeline. Other than that, they been spot on.

Jesus. As a sane human, but especially as a husband and father, this shit is actually nightmarish.

I took John’s reaction to the dude about to kill himself as more one of horror that he would throw his life away so easily, because it’s just driving home how cheap life can be here (like with the dude and the baby). That’s why he said, ‘he didn’t even fight,’ when talking to Rodrigues.

Anorak

2024-03-21 03:04:16 +0000 UTC

William Adams is a protestant. Tokugawa took Adams protestant prejudices towards Catholics seriously. Tokugawa felt the Catholics were trying to divide and conquer Japan. This is after Tokugawa became the Shogun.

Thurman

2024-03-21 02:08:30 +0000 UTC

Yeah it's that Tokugawa, but it was less "I hate Christianity" and more "I hate the Spanish" he was afraid that they were planning to conquer Japan so banning Christianity was his way of keeping them out. The movie "Silence" takes place 30 years after this specific event.

Ghost_Troupe

2024-03-21 02:05:46 +0000 UTC

Ahhhh is it "i hate Christianity" tokugawa?......if so, then this will be interesting.....I find it ironic that his spy is someone who believes in God, considering what he does to those who do once he gets in power.

Dyastro

2024-03-21 01:46:29 +0000 UTC

Hiroyuki Sanada(Toranaga) is a producer in this series. He insist on hiring Japanese actors if they want him to act in this series. And i think he has something to do with Japanese speaking their native tongue. So i do think the producers made it intentional that when acting to speak in Portuguese. They are using the english language. Because they do not want their audience to keep reading. Probably to cater to those audience who do not like reading subtitles. Intentional. Also this series is mostly shot in Vancouver. It's an awesome series based what they been doing so far.

When John's speaking, even though it is in English he's speaking in Portuguese. He knows how to speak English, Dutch, and Portuguese. Those were the 3 Big Trade languages for sailors at the time. His crew is Dutch, so when he is with them, he speaks Dutch. Everyone else, he is speaking in Portuguese as that is their common shared language. He would only speak English if talking to another Englishman, or back home.

godUsoland

2024-03-21 01:15:40 +0000 UTC

In the beginning of the episode, Blackthorne said that he's fluent in Portuguese so the best guess is that he was speaking portuguese. It's just in English so we understand, kind of like Warrior. When his crew arrived, the people there immediately asked for a translator who speaks portuguese.

Kass

The crazy thing is, the guy who got his head cut off wasn't the one who was asking questions and was told to back away. I rewatched it so many times just because your reactions were funny af and realized that it was just some random guy who decided to go in front of John thinking no one would see him just to do those motions with his hands 😭

All i came here to say is Blackthorne is based on real person William Adams. And Toranaga is based on Ieyasu Tokugawa. I thought it might help you understand the story more.

At first I thought you were calling her "bae". I was like...I get it but tdamn that's bold

Antonio Williams

2024-03-21 00:47:52 +0000 UTC

The crew was English and spoke English to one another. From now on, anything said in English is just the character's speaking Portuguese

Antonio Williams

2024-03-21 00:47:02 +0000 UTC

By the way, the main English dude also played Barney in Peaky Blinders. He was the guy that Tommy broke out of the mental institution to be his sniper.

This show is so damn good, glad I finally have the motivation to watch it.

2024-03-21 00:18:24 +0000 UTC

They are speaking portugese, but its english for us, you will see next episode. Bae only knows japanese and portugese, so him speaking english wouldnt work with her, At the start when him and his crew were in the hole he said he speaks fluent portugese. English isnt spoken in japan yet, because only the spanish and portugese know how to get there.

Magnatank

2024-03-21 00:13:53 +0000 UTC

It's easy to miss but John me tons early on that he speaks fluent Portuguese so yes, they are speaking Portuguese just translated into English for the audience, likely to simplify things for the show.

2024-03-21 00:03:23 +0000 UTC

Ps. No jabs intended to their 2 man reactions. Its just that when the 3 of them are together is when they are at their best. Just good chemistry together

2024-03-20 23:51:43 +0000 UTC

25:25 yeah it was fucked up and they'd kill a whole family off for what looks like the weirdest things. Look up the story of Hajime Fujii, he wanted to participate in a suicide attack during WW2, got rejected from participation as he had a family and was an instructor at the flight school, so his wife killed herself and their daughters so he could join up in the attack. She dressed them up in their best clothes and drowned them, leaving a letter: "Since you probably would be worried about us and not be able to freely carry out your duties because we are here, we go ahead before you and will wait for you. Please fight without reserve" Japan was brutal for a long time.

Alex

2024-03-20 23:48:05 +0000 UTC

The Protestant/Catholic beef at the time was real and enduring. Europe was at war for a lot of the 1500s and 1600s over it. Blackthorne is a good Protestant and hates Catholics on principle.

Jon Fejes

2024-03-20 23:41:41 +0000 UTC

Roshi is correct. The characters are speaking English to the audience to simplify things so we don’t have to hear 3 languages. However in the show they are speaking Portuguese to each other when they are translating or aren’t speaking Japanese

AsuraTM

2024-03-20 23:37:46 +0000 UTC

Yeah, this is based on a real-life Englishman who became a samurai. This show is so good, I'm glad they gave the Japanese characters more life in this adaptation because the book and first mini-series didn't do that. There are quite a few Japanese entertainment OGs in this too which I love to see. They took special care to show a more realistic portrayal of Japan at this time.

Briana J

2024-03-20 23:35:50 +0000 UTC

Like how in warrior they show them speaking english to each other but chinese when in front of other people. I wish they had that transition in ep1 of warrior where they switch from chinese to english

PJ Rivera

2024-03-20 23:34:16 +0000 UTC

Sorry Sheera but I think Roshi had it right and they were "speaking Portuguese" but actually speaking English IRL and we just have to suspend disbelief and imagine they're speaking Portuguese. Rewind to around 28:45 where the first translator showed up before he gets taken before the minor lord and the priest. He's speaking English there but there's no way he actually speaks English, he's a Japanese native that converted to catholicism via Portuguese missionaries, why would they bother teaching him English? Especially when the existence of other European kingdoms is supposed to be a secret. It was probably too difficult/time consuming to ensure all their actors could speak three different languages (4 in Rodriguez' case) so Japanese/English only it is.

You guys should watch Martin Scorsese's silence that looks at Portuguese priests in japan. I personally think its one of his more underrated movies

Anytime Blackthorne or any other character is speaking "English" they are speaking Portuguese.

Magic Man

2024-03-20 23:00:04 +0000 UTC

It's super confusing, but from looking, they are speaking protuguese however they are using English as a substitute to avoid having so many languages mixed in English is the perfect languages for everyone to communicate in instead of finding actors/actresses who speak Japanese, Portuguese, Dutch and English hence why they use it as a substitute

David Gray

Danger Tomato

Well he is a pilot major so he comes from a wealthy background at this time period. We're lucky that this is in modern English and not so accurate that he's speaking with a mix of today's English, Shakespearean and Latin. His accent makes sense.

Metweet .c

2024-03-20 22:46:51 +0000 UTC

Not only is it based off a book, it’s also a remake of an extremely popular mini-series on TV during the early 80’s.

2 peaky blinders actors appearances. The captain who shot himself was Tommys uncle and John was the sniper that suffered from ptsd that Tommy released from the insane asylum

2024-03-20 22:34:23 +0000 UTC

The protestants and catholics have a deep beef plain and simple at this period of time. Protestants do not take the blessed sacrament of bread and wine whilst catholics do. It also really mattered if rulers were Catholic or protestant so the church of England has been established by this point by henry the eight with his protestant daughter Elizabeth 1st ruling. I really had to remember by horrible histories lore there from my childhood lol

If anybody is confused on what “cathay” means its an old European word for china. Also fun fact they’re speaking an older version of japanese in this show

Comments

Golden Globe Sweep I know that's right!

Run it back!!!!🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

They’ve already watched, so it’s not a reaction, more like a rewatch

Exactly that’s the only dumb thing to me especially with somebody who is an actually speaker speaking more Japanese than Portuguese

came for sanada, stayed for asano. did not know the shark skin man himself was in this show

The cuck chair 😭

THIS IS LIT AM JUST STARTING

Roshi and me shared the same brain cell when he said Blackthorne looked like Viggo Mortensen lmaooo. I had to do a double take!

"What are they?" "White people" 😂

Bro is the first man of culture.

“Subarashiiii”💀💀

"subarashi" was crazy i lost it🤣🤣🤣

You sound more triggered than me over pointing something out 😭

At least learn about Japanese history and history in general before making stupid comments getting triggered about your religion not being portrayed as amazing sauce.

so are we pretending religion didn't play a massive part in conflicts and political aggression in history again? all things that are quite common knowledge hell there's hundreds of history books written on the subject

Yeah the conflict between the Catholic Christian Nations and the Protestant Christian Nations at this time was intense. No separation of church and state at this time; religious and political conflict were very intertwined.

this man said ramen ingredient im dead

bruh i thought that was Tom Hardy

I remember learning about those religious wars in high school. Specifically how protestants and catholics would both drown antibabtists (who didn't believe in baptisim at infancy). It's very interesting to me how much they HATED each other despite all being christian.

dammmn these mf don't play, that's cold.

Imagine your significant other coming home to kill your newborn child because they lost their temper over something someone said about their boss.

Holy crap thats Barney Thompson

Not to mention both countries (spain and portugal) at this moment had the same King. They didn't like each other, they tolerated each other.

In the hole it was Dutch, and to any japanese or catholics its portguese. It's an American production and for simplicities sake they've just relegated all european speak to english.

There's good reason too, Henry viii was only a few years ago, and the queen after him was a catholic that was very unpopular and hard on protestants. Everyone was killing each other and it was one of the most violent periods in european history.

"Almost" oh shit, did yall do a reaction to Apocalypto?

yo i was thinking the same shit lmaoo

One day we will get both Vikings and Succession ... i hope

I'd love this

Dawg the names, titles, and connections confused tf out me the first time i watched this episode.

It’s obvious that the show is going to paint the religious people as bad or evil hence what I said it’s a common trope.

What do u mean by that

Unfortunately I'm Jap so I was spoiled in a history class at school long ago😂 Even though I was'n t good student, these histories are way too well known

THANK YOU. I was wracking my brain trying to remember why I knew the captain

My problem was that I figured out who was supposed to be who, and I know the history like u. So I kinda just fucked myself up wit my big brain 😂.

Personally, I wish I didn't know this (I spoiled myself). Since it lets you know how things turned out. I'd rather be in suspense and thinking that anyone could die

I rewatched it due to a later comment and was like WAIT this guy didn't even do nothing!

I'm a little high, but I read this and just nodded my head like it was fact

What do you mean? I might be interpreting the comment wrong, but the guy who got his head cut off just walked up. He wasn't either of the two Japanese Christians who were talking before

I was having some trouble, so I pulled up the Wikipedia and spoiled myself on who the characters are based on. If you know about this time period, don't do what I did

Roshi's ability to remember names is something🔥 Many viewers have struggled with it at this show

Your right I've heard him talk about it too

Might be remembering this wrong, but I could swear I've hear Lupa talk about Lost before - Rodrigues is Richard Alpert

The new season just came out three days ago.

I do believe they've watched that privately already lol

Classic religion bad 😒

When bro gets his head off that’s a top 10 reaction

nahh fr i thought i was bugging lmaoo

Ok, so it's not just me. Something about the face features immediately reminded me of Leon.

It's not based on book one in a series. There is no series. It's a standalone book.

L comment lmao, this shit was not monumental

Is it just me or did dude who was gettin ready to crash out look like a Japanese Leon from Snowfall??? 😂😂

But when they were all talking in the hole it was English and then he said I speak a little Portuguese and I’m guessing he’s saying that because they people that Japan has traded with spoke that language so he’s assuming that they’re people in Japan that must speak Portuguese… idk lmao

Blackthorne is a protestant christian, and they hate catholics like the Portuguese and the Spanish. that's what homie got the beef with them... among other reasons that the show will go deep in

as soon as i saw the head pop off i was like yump, im tuned😭

Best show on TV right now

I'm surprised ya'll didn't talk more about that baby situation that was WILD af

Physical 100 reaction coming?

If you see John speaking to any European that isn't his crew, he's speaking Portuguese. That's the whole story with that

Yeah I know that the Christianity ban was more a reason to unite Japan and get rid of any European influence. And it worked out very good. Doesn't change the fact that alot had to die tho lol

So John is “speaking Portuguese” but it’s in English. Are we to assume that all English in this show is supposed to be Portuguese? Why not just have them speak actual Portuguese and not English to curb down confusion?

This man's the reason they got that extra chair in the corner of the motel rooms.

Yeah John is English but he mentions he speaks fluent Portuguese as well so whenever they are speaking English in the show it’s mostly Portuguese in universe

VERY Good! So on edge with the sailing/drowning scene!

At 31:08 did they change actors and forget?

He is, but for production's sake we're suppose to pretend he's speaking Portuguese instead of English (unless he's speaking to fellow Englishmen).

I couldn’t believe that was a legitimate article. Both hilarious and worrying times we live in.

O ma ain’t no way he pissed on his head

Yeah that complaint was the dumbest shit when the show came out istg

Cross platform beef?

John (the MC) he's speaking Portuguese but they're doing it in English for us.

the guy who committed seppuku looked like Leon from Snowfall

Where are the Black People ?

They actually gave that man the Oden treatment from OP, I'd rather just tortured than boiled to death

This was fucking epic!

Roshi and Lupa were right on this one lol, they are speaking "Portuguese"

Yeah, it helps some but quite honestly a basic knowledge of who the X-Men are will get you through just fine. They do a pretty good job of making sure you know the status quo even if you haven't watched the original show or a recap.

It's like Cobra Kai, you'll get a lot out of having watched what came before but they do enough to fill you in on the new status quo. If you do want some context though there is a recap video that they officially released to go over some significant story beats.
