2024-06-05 20:08:19 +0000 UTCThis episode i cam close to despising Toranaga in the scene with Mariko. The passive aggressive manipulation in that scene, really pissed me off. I know it's another age and different cultures and morality, but that really pushed my buttons.

2024-05-31 20:38:28 +0000 UTCAs you both said, you really can't blame these kids for seeking the glory of war when they are raised the way that they are. The experienced warriors may scoff at their eagerness to rush into death but they've all experienced the benefits of becoming seen as "true" warriors, from respect to gifts to land. Why wouldn't someone like Nagakado be eager to rush into battle, when until then he is only seen as his father's son? The military industrial complex propaganda machine hasn't changed its tune since then either, always trying to bait in literal children with promises of becoming a "real hero", just to have more lives to expend. Thankfully the public isn't nearly as easily fooled these days but that doesn't make the "join the military!" ads I still constantly get shoved in front of me less gross.

2024-05-31 02:09:28 +0000 UTCthis episode did draw a few vinland comparisons in particular( i think thats the show they were reminded of). both olmar and toranaga’s son had an eagerness to prove themselves in their father’s shadow/warrior culture in spite of their lack of ability. even the last line of the episode “where is the beauty in this?” would fit seamlessly in vinland
