#<- because fuck buntaro

[yocalio]

Crimson Sky. I'm still reeling. To know what was going to happen and still be so blown away by it all. I have nothing but praise for Anna and Cosmo and really everyone in this episode. They all brought it. But ANNA. Give her all the damn awards.

Mariko, my baby, she just did it all. She did that. She accomplished what she set out to do and she was finally free before, during and after she made the ultimate sacrifice for the cause. And she just didn't give a fuck the whole time. We got to see her secret heart. All that pain and anger culminate and pay off.

John finally understood after all the pleading with him to understand her motivations. When he offered to be her second after Lord Kiyama no showed. It was like the ultimate declaration of love. It is significant that he, not being Catholic, didn't want her to go to death fearing eternal damnation for taking her own life. He would rather do the one thing he'd least like to do in the world than have her think she was going to hell because he loves her.

I don't know if it's because he values Anjin and Mariko more or if he just hates him but for a guy who sacrificed himself for him Toranaga really likes to give Buntaro shit, and I am here for it. Episode 7 he basically told him he would accept his request if he admitted he was a cuck whose wife would rather fuck a caveman. Dude goes for the throat if you try to drag him into your relationship drama.

watching Shōgun, so far my favorite conversation is when Buntaro shows up being a full pain in the ass and now also scary because he knows now he can be, and Lady Fuji says a bunch of righteously bitchy stuff and half of it lands and half of it goes fully WHOOSH past him, wow she is so brave

runner up is obviously every time John says something fucked up and Mariko smoothly translates it into something more apposite but with some of the meaning lost
