- From the hit TV series SHOGUN.
Shōgun is an American historical drama television miniseries created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks. It is based on the 1975 novel by James Clavell, which was previously adapted into a 1980 miniseries. Its ensemble cast includes Hiroyuki Sanada, Cosmo Jarvis, Anna Sawai, Tadanobu Asano, Takehiro Hira, Tommy Bastow, and Fumi Nikaido.
lackthorne, Mariko, and Yabushige arrive in Osaka to surrender to Ishido on Toranaga's behalf. Yabushige requests that Ishido spare his life in exchange for his servitude but is denied. Mariko demands to leave the city with Toranaga's family at his request, but during her attempt to leave, the guards overpower her, so she announces that she will take her own life at sunset. - Zábava
The way the last guy waits for the samurai to say his good-bye it's honorable.
nah
not really
its dumb and pretentious
@@jamesling2714 it's called respect. Something most of you can only imagine.
Submissiveness is not an honor just because a monarchy said so. I think that if an employee of an underground car park bows or has to bow in front of the parking customers, that is a good sign that something is wrong. Every culture on this planet has been corrupted by governments. In one way or another.
In other works, this scene would have been played as invincible bodyguards, but the depiction of them being immediately killed with bows and arrows is the best.
Yeah. It is an interesting Juxtaposition. The guy has the skill to chop the guys fingers off before he can draw and slice the other guy before he can touch his sword. He Dies moments later from an archer. It kinda feels like all those years of training gone in a moment. But that is the truth of war. The first few years of a conflict usually consume the most hardened troops, and towards the end of it, its mostly green-younger soldiers fighting.
for me it is a fake things. those samurai atleast have chainmail and gambeson beneath plate armour. the arrow can not penetrate those armour, unless they are using 150lbs long bow.
@@m5a1stuart83 even then they did not have much chainmail and they most certainly did not use plate armor. The few known examples of metal plate were entirely ceremonial.
The metalworking involves was simply so phenomenally expensive that they were too precious for combat. Chainmail in particular was an insanely labor intensive task that combined with the relatively low-quality steel available to japan due to their refining process (or lack thereof) it simply wasn't worth it.
Not to mention that this was also at the time of the rise of the firearm where plate armor was also already known to be pointless. Further, most samurai were archers first and melee second, metal armor doesnt work well with bows.
why are they fighting?
@@m5a1stuart83 if you actually watch the scene again, the archers hit the gap in their armor outside the neck guard, but below the helmet. Every one of the lethal shots that armored samurai received, was in the neck. I thought the same thing, until I watched the scene a few more times. Otherwise you would be correct. Japanese armor was designed to fend off and have protection against Japanese weapons. I recently watched a video of a samurai armor company doing weapons tests with the katana, yumi bow, and naginata. They tested it on the helmet, gauntlets, body armor and so on. Really brought to light that even arrows could not penetrate deep enough to be lethal. As always, warriors are trained to strike at gaps in armor, not blindly waste ammo unless it’s a mass volley of arrows shot by hundreds of archers at once in a face to face battle on open ground.
Just 3 slashes and it was one of the best sword fight scenes in cinema. no over acting, no jumpig around, no flips, spins....just no nonsense and straight to the point. loved it!
Heh. Straight to the POINT
Where? Dudes just stand still while getting butchered. It wasn't even a fight, just a classic clown show. They should have at least allowed them to pull swords or step out of range.
The book did it far better.
If you haven't read it, I don't blame you, it's hefty.
But as someone who did, this scene is disgustingly disrespectful.
It made Mariko look much weaker and less dignified than her actual character. She didnt flail around, get on the verge of tears, and fall down.
Every man under her command died, then she dueled the opposing captain, and they wounded eachother. _then_ she concedes defeat, with dignity.
This was just unpleasant to watch.
Have you seen Yojimbo
The Samurai wanted it over like the quick draw in a Western.
1 man against 2. 3 slashes maximum but highly lethal. Without those archers above, the opposite ground soldiers are doomed.
yes they had no armor lol
Samurai were bowmen first, spear men (both Yari and Naginata) second, and still master swordsmen next. Segment gets it very right.
By the end of the senguko period, the primary weapon was actually the arquebus (matchlock musket), then the sword as a secondary. But the bow was the ancient traditional weapon (japanese warfare was for many centuries primarily bowmen on horseback, which is why the old samurai armour looks like it favours one side - because it did). This series gets it right by identifying the more conservative traditional samurai as carrying bows. Buntaro carries the horse bow and that marks him as very conservative.
@@tileux No dude, for centuries the bow was THE weapon of the samurai. Even toward the end of the senguko period, you see one pictograph after the other with samurai with bows and spears. The Yari and Naginata was always their primary weapon for and-to-hand. Always. In combat, proven over and over, in a sword vs. spear, the spear wins. I have no idea what you are talking about. The whole argument about "conservative" is weird. They were holding onto their way of life.
@@gregory4154 no mate. Samurai warfare was conducted with the bow, from horseback for centuries. The secendary weapon for 300 years was the o dachi. Only used once unhorsed. Then the musket came along and the age of the mass samurai army began. The bow became obsolete almost overnight, because the samurai really liked their muskets. The o dachi - a bigger, heavier, weapon was gradually superseded by the katana (although technically katana just means sword, so more correctly the o dachi was superseded by the short blade katana that everyone associates with the samurai today (not the wakizashi. That was alwats carried). The o dachi became a status symbol. But the o dachi is actually the blade that had the longest history with the samurai. Meanwhile the bow was phased out. Only a samurai who wanted to show he was a traditionalist would use one and even then you had to have a fair but if rank to get around the standard issue musket issue (although technically the samurai used the matchlock arquebus for most of their history with firearms). I agree with you about spears but that was only starting in the senguko period, when the ashigaru class of samurai was massively expanded to create the mass armies of that period, based around the spear and matchlock arquebus. Prior to that the ashigaru class was relatively small.
Also, you see pictures of samurai with bows because that was the OLD traditional weapon. By the senguko period carrying a bow would be regarded as eccentric. Just because you see pictures, doesnt meant that was the standard weapon. It wasnt. The prime weapon of the samurai during the senguko period was the matchlock arquebus, with most ashigaru - which is most samurai by then- armed with spear or arquebus with a katana as a secondary. Hideyoshi toyotomo started as an ashigaru under nobunaga and rose to become nobunaga’s most trustee general (the other - less trusted - trusted general being ieyasu Tokugawa.
@@tileux You aren't getting it. You are stuck on the Senguko period. Either you read something or watched a movie. I don't know. I'm stating, as a fact, that for hundreds of years the samurai were know as bowmen, and the spear was THE chosen melee weapon. Those pictures were capturing actual battles as they were laid out. There has been enormous debunking that proves the spear in any culture is superior to the sword. A samurai will choose his spear over his sword almost every single time. That's it. That's my claim. Nothing more, nothing less. What you are getting it is all over the place and just bizarre. I mean really bizarre.
@@tileux By the way, I speak as someone who is part Japanese, and who's Grandfather(who is Japanese) told me of his Japanese martial tradition, and what his clan (the Takamuras) practiced for centuries. I just have no idea what your point of interjection is.
To me what makes the scene so powerful is the total commitment and devotion to honor those samurai had.
She was their master, and that was it. They knew their role, even though they were doomed.
Their honor they had for her and themselves and others was insane! The fact they had to BOW to their enemies shows how much respect and honor they have
How honorable to all become worm shit all the same.
They were all high off of their own chicken shit.
Romanticized horseshit all around.
Unless they win *Smirks in John Blackthorn*
And the lady has total devotion to her liege lord
In reality Samurai were not like this at all, they were pretty much mostly just well equipped (for the country) thugs in service to a rich person.
Fine I'll play Shogun 2 again!!!
Already finished my otomo domination campaign a couple of weeks ago.
OUWAR GENURAL IS IN GWEAT DAYNGAR MY LOAHD!!!!
Hey, get to it already!🤬
this series made Total War Shogun 3 much much more likely. Thanks Disney+.
@@KaptifLaDistillerie SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!!
This whole series was a rare example of the re-make being better, deeper, than the original. Mariko was a truly intriguing character.
0:15 if you slow it down at .25x speed, you'll see that he cut his fingers so his opponent won't be able to draw his swords.
Such finesse and precision. 👌
I don't think that was intentional. He needed a second cut to bring an opponent down, which cost him precious time and movement space. I think that the first cut was intended to do as much damage as could be done, be it dismembering an arm (which actually happend) or cutting torso/neck/head. In real fight there is no reason to specifically target fingers, just like you should not target leg/arm/heart in general gunfight, but aim for bodymass of a torso. It was a really nice detail in that scene, but I doubt Mariko's bodyguard meant or was tought to cut the fingers first, to prevent opponent from drawing a sword. You just cut to kill.
@@Sunflowerseedsforivan
敵が刀を抜く前に指や手を切ることは頻繁に行われました
この描写はとても素晴らしかった
@@Sunflowerseedsforivan that was intentional a trained samurai is really accurate to cut what they want to
Its pretty self evident, if you slow it down you see his fingers were all cut off not just one, indicating a precise and powerful swing.
@@Sunflowerseedsforivan It was clearly intentionally FILMED that way... implying that it was purposeful on the samurai's part.
I loved that they stood true to the source material. I feared the moment they handed her a naginata they would show her slaughtering a dozen Samurai until reinforcements arrive in such numbers that she realised its futile to resist further.
Instead we get this masterpiece that shows the devotion and love only women can instill in man to fight and die for them.
And it beautifully showed the clash of cultures and religion at the end: she is a Lady of a great house and admitts defeat. in their culture, that means she has to commit suicide to keep the honor of her house intact. But as a christian she knows that people commiting suicide will go to hell. She punishes the opposing lord who is also a christian by making him help her, as it is tradition.
This show truely is a msterpiece.
And this guys, this is HOW YOU WRITE A STRONG FEMALE CHARACTER.
They thought being strong is to just emulating men lol
@@QueenAI-ph1xi exactly! Which is even more sexist 😂. I’m so glad this show got it right.
EXACTLY! i am enough of Hollywood bs sweat trying to make strong female characters...and all is a joke of himself
@@gilcorrea283her and Fuji solos marvel females
@@wymg4480 ABSOLUTELY
Someone noticed that the samurai cut the thumb 👍 of the first opponent so he can't grab his sword then cut the second opponent then finished off the first opponent. Truly a sword master.
I'm sorry but when she puts out her hand and the servant runs up with the spear.... after standing motionless as her guard is slaughtered.... is one of the most bad assed moves ever.
🤦
When the first Samurai absolutely demolished the two unarmoured guards/Samurai I turned to my wife with genuine shock and elation at such a well coreographed and effective scene. The absolute pinnacle of fight coordination.
I agree, this is one of the best samurai fight scenes I've seen. Right up there with the Seven Samurai.
Mariko done a hell of a job, but the samurai who was entrustred to protect her needs to be noticed here. Protecting and fight for your Lady even though you know you will all die. That is really something.
Simps
@@DanielLazzarawhat if a male master?
Ultimately, she was doing the exact same thing as they were.
@@DanielLazzarawhat simp? It was a code for them to follow, regardless who is the master will be, they know that they will die, but still fight to the end, nothing simp about that.
@@CaffeinePandaNope it is not the same, she knew that they will not try to kill her. They are trying to prevent her from going out and not to kill her.
Shooting him with an arrow was a low blow bruh 😢
but it was a battlefield so that was reality
Couldn’t fight him in swords, so ending him with distance.
@@One20Forty Same with Achilles
Agincourt! The flower of French chivalry learned the harsh reality of the bow!
@@williamanderson4029 wasn't just the bow, it was also none tired English knight standing on foot next to archers waiting for any tired arrow covered French knight to make it to English archers,
0:17 he just looks so cool with how he moves.
0:38 指揮を取った侍（ミヤイ）が先頭でまず一人を一太刀で更に前に進み、二人目の切り込みを屈んでかわし、そのまま鎧の肩で吹っ飛ばす所はかなり実践的に見えた。細かい所まで拘っている。
And then finally got shot by an arrow
The purest form of combat. Front and center. Showing respect towards the opponent. And merciless skill.
Yes; an exceptionally done scene.
This series was incredible. I loved every single episode.
Name of series ?
My honor increased by 50 points after watching this scene 😮💨
That first Samurai who just stepped forward and politely bowed before ending the 2 of them with 3 strokes. He needed his own series is all im saying lol.
I get the Sardaukar vibes here
Not really, they would have self-expired themselves on the spot. No need for a ritual to virtue signal.
Another scene where everyone politely waits and attacks one at a time 😂😂
It's the samurai who are serving with her in this scene who are the real badass !!
Exceptional display of masterful swordsmanship, especially with an armored samurai not featured as part of the main characters. We get to briefly see the particular use of the katana/ samurai full dress in a narrow kind of scene (walls confining the space to little fighting room).
Great Show ! A real breath of fresh air. Can't wait for season 2.
Chilling scene from the whole series ❤
There was this scene and then the other when her husband volunteered to stay on the pier to hold them back while toranaga and his enterouge sail away in a tiny boat. Toranaga stood up and shouted the warriors name that he thought was going to die specifically for him. He gave that warrior the ultimate respect and the warrior bowed to him in preparation of his death. He was 100% ready to die, in order for his Lord to escape and carry out his plans to unite the country. THAT and THIS scene are the essence of the Code of Bushido. This is rarely depicted in film.
That part gave me chills
Pretty sure her husband is going to end up being a traitor because there was no logical reason why he would have escaped that, nor any logical reason why some random ronin would have helped him.
@@wastingtime9004 nope. He wasn't a traitor
@@mmancino1982 we will see if the show gets a season 2. There is nothing that has proved his loyalty.
If not, it’s a plot hole to me. Makes no sense for him to get away when stuck at the end of a dock against more heavily armoured men.
Plus several things:
1) Toranaga was directly responsible for his fathers death
2) Toranaga was indirectly responsible for his wife’s infidelity (and death)
3) he was prepared to go to his death with Toranaga and Mariko after the escape, perhaps out of guilt
4) The show would need to replace Yabushige as a close retainer of questionable loyalty
5) he would be a natural foil to blackthorne, post-mariko, since they both already want to kill each other
Seems the natural storytelling progression, however there is no more source material and there therefore may not be any more seasons.
@@wastingtime9004 you know this is based on a book right? There's no sequel. If they do a season two, HOPEFULLY it's a completely different period and they don't ruin Shōgun the way it is
It really was! I loved this series
For me it was second best epic scene. First for me is Buntaro's last stand. He killed everyone who attacked him, got his liege lord's acknwoledge, and charged into army.... and f'ing survived. Everyone thought he died. He had two nicknames, both had ass in it. Asshole of character but he was Badass.
Goosebumps dawg!
Great show.
Great!
I guess this was the samurai fight scene we got ultimately in the series without any big battle.
I really enjoyed this show
. . . and the war was over with her action and brave soldiers.
Naprawdę dobry film.
I feel like out of every culture/society through the entirety of history that Japan absolutely nailed the warrior culture
i like how Blackthorne is leaning with hands together, casually watching instead of in shock like Yabushige. This is the only part where I felt Cosmo did not act properly for the scene.
The scene highlights Mariko thr Samurai: the lady has her own retinue who serves & dies for their mistress. She in turn has her own lord to serve & just as her samurai does for her, she will also die for her lord
Absolutely enjoyed this series on netflix
They way he cut off his fingers first amazes me everytime 🥶
激アツでございまする
0:47- samurai behind Mariko’s right shoulder expertly guts an enemy.
0:48 - samurai no longer has a head
yeah i wasn't sure how that happened, the guy he gutted got one last swing off and it took the dudes head?
I think it went a few seconds forward, since the guys in the left side also seems to skip some actions. (1 guy is already dead and the other guy is now killed)
I dunno if it's just a movie but you gotta admit these people had some class and honor.
People need to appreciate how great this show is. The writing, the settling, the casting, the acting is absolutely top notch
I slept several times watching this series😢
Reminds me of the scene in the Last Samurai when Ken Watanabe sees Tom Cruise fight valiantly.
Crimson Sky
This scene is the epitome of over-escalation.
both wife and husband badass to the end I wonder about their kids
I would preferably want to watch a show that's 100 % historical about ieyasu, mitsunari, nobushige etc. I'm kinda tired of seeing about an "Anjin" Tom Cruise visiting Japan and being the main character. These kinds of productions are rare as it is.
Yeah - me too....
I'd like to see the Japanese perspective on the arrival of the Portuguese, the later attempts by the Jesuits to convert the Japanese, the arrival of the black fleet, the Meiji restoration and the ensuing trade disputes with the USA pre 1900.
Only way to get the casuals americans engaged. I'm sure there are a ton of movies from the Japanese perspective.
You gotta realize that blackthorn is not some white savior Tom cruise character. He landed in Japan during the most important year in Japanese history. William Adams was his name. he was probably the second foreigner to attain samurai status in feudal Japan. The first was Yasuke, I believe. He was a slave from Mozambique or Ethiopia who came over with an Italian priest who was probably working with the Portuguese when they first arrived. Nobunaga took advantage of western technology, and this slave came there in the middle of the Oda clan’s conquest to unify most of Japan. like I said, A European was not the only foreigner to be in Japan during the sengoku Jidai era.
Lord Toranaga literally says he kept him around just because he found him funny, what the hell are you talking about with john wick. It would be a valid criticism for a lot of other media but I dont think this show falls in that trope
@@jaypenha5352 Yasuke was definitely not a samurai.
Ufff that was insane omg
really hope they make a season 2
This show was so good. I put it up there with Vikings.
Breathtaking tv show, i've just downloaded the book to read after watching it.
This is the reason on why Lord Ishido was defeated.....
hi guys, im a bit confuse, who killed the samurai at 0:46 ?, i dont see any enemy in the radius, who cut his head?
The Samurai running at 51 seconds.
OH GAH DAMN
I can’t wait for season 2!
There is none
@@jimmycurrire7868 not yet, but hopefully soon.
Guess I would prefer to be the last dishonorable samurai left standing than to be dead AF with honor. Like honor gives you unlimited respawns.
What movie is this?
Most bad ass scene ever
Funny that in all human interactions be it conflict of mutual relation, "Range" is the most important factor!
This scene must have been a blast for the stuntmen.
Is this in Season 1?
The best fight scene in the show is when the shinobi come to kidnap Lady Maria and John Blackstone starts blasting with his pistols.
I think she said o kiri kudasai. Kiri means cut.
It is clear that they are refined and skilled samurai. The first one cuts off his finger, then slashes the second one's eye horizontally with his sword, and then slashes the first one's eye horizontally with his sword again, rendering him unable to fight. Finally, he wipes off the blood and puts his sword back into its sheath. From the moment they wake up in the morning, they have resolved to die for their master today.
Honor.
Girl Boss done right ::)
This actress was great in Godzilla Monarch too. She leaves impressions
Was this in the book? Last time I read shogun was more than 40 years ago (yes, it shows my age). But it is a badass scene.
all of those samurai know they are dead once they walked up to the gate, they just glad they dead as a warrior who defended the lady mariko..
Aaaaahh crap got me with that subtitle.
They didn't do that first swordsman justice, the way they took him out.
Anna Sawai. Feminine beauty at its optimum.
Meh
👍👍👍💪💪💪
Badass only because its peak Japanese self-expiration. It's surprising they managed to maintain a culture with all the self-ending.
Great battle board game called light gladiators I teach
Финальный саундтрек напомнил тему из Хитмена 🤔
I love the example of perfect equality shown here 😁
I’d happily serve Mariko sama any day.
idk about the most badass...but this is how you write female protagonists...if Disney did this, she would have cut down all the men without breaking a sweat
All the more hype for Ghost of Tsushima in PC
Badass for Shogun😂
According to Ubisoft's upcoming title - then Obama paraglides in and rescues her
Good fight moves. Why are they putting the woman on a pedestal like that? What was her status then?
There should be plenty of Akechi Mitsuhide's samurai still loyal to her after her father died. He was the daughter of a shogun after all. 9 days shogun
This shit was so tense 😬
I played this at 0.75 speed to appreciate it better
Where's Zatoichi? He would've mopped the court yard of everybody.
what's the point of those samurai armor...
When do we see Lu Bu make it a red day?
Mariko san would be reincarnated as a Jedi in future Star Wars movies, but she is perfect for Psylocke in X-Men
Lord Sakai is the best Samurai of Japan
