Badd Medicine here and its reaction time
Shōgun follows the collision of two ambitious men from different worlds, John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), a risk-taking English sailor who ends up shipwrecked in Japan, a land whose unfamiliar culture will ultimately redefine him; Lord Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), a shrewd, powerful daimyo, at odds with his own dangerous, political rivals; and Lady Mariko, a woman with invaluable skills but dishonorable family ties, who must prove her value and allegiance.

SOOOOO happy yall are checking this out now. Get ready!!
You guys are going to get truly cultured from this series. It will kick you in the groin, command you to pay attention and you will enjoy it.
Enjoy the amazing ride.
so when you hear people speak english in the show it means they are speaking portuguese and not english
The threesome scene explanation: the lord is probably impotent or a eunuch ("formerly male" - common punishment apart from seppuku) and can only 'get off' by brutally murdering people. The courtisan, being a pro, saw through that and 'offered' "watching" as maybe a potential substitute, since as she said, 'here to please' him.
The theresome scene explanation: the lord is probably impotent or a eunuch (former male - it served a social function in those times in the east and possibly west). And probably 'gets off' only by brutally and slowly murdering people. The courtisan, being a pro, saw through that and suggested 'watching' as a possible alternative.
In case you didn't notice, John Blackthorne is a Polyglot. He speaks several languages but they are showing it in English, hence he can easily pick up Nihonggo as well. He was speaking Portugese and Spanish to the Catholics and he was speaking Dutch to his crew, but they are just doing it in English as a creative choice.
And yes, Yabushige is such an interesting antagonist.
Yabushige is actually one of my favorite characters same with Mariko.
This limited series is going to win ALL THE EMMYS :) Very happy that Hiroyuki Sanada finally takes centre stage in a Hollywood production & has a very important Producer credit on the show with all the crucial behind-the-scenes work he's put into the exquisite production! FX is a seriously underrated network; Shogun, Justified, Atlanta, Fargo, Legion, Sons of Anarchy, The Bear, Snowfall, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Louie, You're The Worst, Archer, Mr. Inbetween, What We Do In The Shadows, Dave, American Horror Story & Crime Story (OJ), The Old Man, The Shield & many more!
The man is so badass they need to get him three for every piece of work he does!
Damn you kinda forget how many bangers FX has put out
Oh my...the bear is another gem that is highly underrated.
Not a limited series anymore, and honestly I'm okay with that. I trust this team and Hiroyuki.
It's been renewed for at least 2 more seasons
Somebody give Sanada his got-dang Emmy already.
Seriously!
Kiku is THE courtesan. She had been train to read an know exactly what people need before they do. She's amazing.
Need a kiku in my life
@@needtau4138 find a hooker
I love the look Yabushige gives when she starts moving on his attendant. He'd never considered it before, but he was like 'huh, yeah, I guess I'm into it.'
John Blackthrone is loosely based on the life of the 17th-century English navigator William Adams, who was the first Englishman to visit Japan. They gave William Adams the name "Miura Anjin"
His grave is near Tokyo, the nearest station is Anjinzuka Station, which is named after him.
This story is VERY loosely based on William Adams... more like "inspired by".... Blackthorne and Adams had very different paths, only the Englishman in Japan premise is really the same... and also the Regents war... its perhaps and "alternate timeline" of William Adams....
@@GhostWatcher2024 Toranaga is also kinda based on Tokugawa Ieyasu
@@GhostWatcher2024 I'd say it's a little more than just inspired by. Adams did sail with a fleet of five Dutch ships across the Pacific ocean, of which only his ship made it to Japan (the rest were lost or ended up having to go elsewhere). He also had a couple of run-ins with both the Portuguese and the Spanish. He and his men were also imprisoned by a local lord in Japan after a Jesuit priest convinced him that Adams and his crew were pirates. And once he was brought to Osaka to meet Tokugawa Ieyasu the Jesuits tried to convince Ieyasu to have Adams executed but Ieyasu denied them on the grounds that Adams hadn't done any harm to him or his country.
So just like with all the historically inspired characters (Toranaga = Tokugawa Ieyasu, Ishido = Ishida Mitsunari, etc.) there are a fair few parallels between their stories and the actual events that happened to their counterparts.
The translation that they did was specific because of the language that they used in Japan before and during the Edo period. A good majority of the actors are from Japan, the fight scenes and choreography are all from Japan. The costumes, the cloth used are all from Japan. The way the women walk the way the men fight the way that women fight are all choreographed done using Japanese stunt people.
but filmed in the Vancouver area. The 1980 miniseries was filmed in Japan.
@@heathen-heart When I first saw the shoreline, my thought was "damn that looks like vancouver's coastline" but I dismissed it as just looking the same.
@@heathen-heart yes it was filmed in part in Port Moody, which is about 35 clicks out of Vancouver and on Vancouver Island at Ucluelet as well as Vancouver all in beautiful British Columbia Canada
Anna Sawai and Hiroyuki Sanada should be the biggest shoo-ins in Emmy History, basically.
They're both amazing in this show.
Nah, Sawai was incredibly boring and leaden in Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
@@pohanahawaii yeah monarch boring asf
This is the best show so far from this year
Yep. This & Fallout have been my favorites so far..
This show is an acting master class of subtle facial expressions all from the main cast to the minor characters, and you guys totally need to take note of these cause they do tell and add a lot in figuring out the characters' introspect. Shogun is gonna win some awards if not all. All excited to see your reactions to the rest of the series.
From what ive heard this is extremely historically accurate down to the little things like how they sit and kneel. Which is awsome to see a historical show actually be accurate to the times
Yesss! based on a Novel which is based on the lives of real people in History! Set during the end of the violent sengoku period, i wont say more because of spoilers :)
The Minowara bloodline reference refers IRL to the Minamoto family/clan, which was 1 of 4 great family clans from 794 to 1185. The Minamoto became dominant after beating the others. Minamoto Yoritomo was the first shogun from 1192 to 1199. So when Toranaga claims Minowara bloodline he is showing his family claim to be named shogun. A person could only be appointed shogun by the emperor, the Tokugawa shogunate ended in 1868 and there has not been a shogun since.
To be a Daimyo (local warlord), one had to be one of the four great family clans (or at least originally, as they all originated from the imperial period of Japan). All originating from the imperial bloodline. As any of the emperor's children that did not succeed the the emperor's throne were sent out to the outskirts.
Yabushige (Tadanobu Asanu), the one who went down the cliff, is ALSO in Mortal Kombat. He's Raiden. He also plays one of the warriors 3 in the thor movies.
Thank u. I kept looking at him and I knew I knew him, but just could not figure out where & that's it. I also wasn't sure what his name is & haven't had the time to look into it yet. I definitely feel like I've seen him in other things too so il have to go search.❤💞❤️
SO happy you guys are watching this. You will LOVE this show.
OMG! The hype! I love Shogun, I'm glad you guys reacting to this. It's going to be amazing!
Best show I have seen in ages. Maybe the best I have seen on TV.
God bless whoever had them start this amazing show
Are you commanding a vengeful god? You must love warm places.
@@PROVOCATEURSK are you okay?
So glad you guys are watching this!! I absolutely love this show ~ look forward to watching your reactions.
finally home to see this reaction!!!!!!!!!!!
This show is amazing
wow. I was enraptured by the first iteration of this amazing book and now seeing this, wow. Stunning exposition, stunning art direction. I dont have access to this series ( no TV no cable) so will love the journey with you with your usual thoughtful analysis.
Yes!! I’m so happy you guys are reacting to this show. It’s so good!! Enjoy the ride!
I saw the original mini-series in 1980, it was very very good. I read the book back then too. It was fantastic. This new 10 episodes series is SUPERB. You, guys, are going to love it.
You and I sir travelled the same path and are in total agreement
James Clavell's novel was already made into a TV miniseries in the 1980s, with Richard Chamberlain and Toshiro Mifune in the lead roles. I think the FX adaptation is much better, though.
This miniseries is an absolute highlight in every respect.
@BaddMedicine so excited you all started!! Highly recommend you all listen to the accompanying podcast. So informative about all the different choice and elements that make the show!!!
Yey!
Finally u guys have caught up. Enjoy the rollercoaster ride.
So happy to see that you're reacting to this masterpiece, guys! You're in for one hell of a ride! Really enjoyed your reaction and thoughts - good job!
This series is outstanding. You will not regret watching.😊
I'm so glad you guys are reacting to this! By far the best thing on TV right now, hell, best thing in a long time. Everything about this series -- the directing, acting, writing, cinematography, sets, costumes -- everything is absolute perfection.
😂Bout time your team got on this Series, it's really good!
Clicked on this so fast. Shogun is so awesome!
It is based on a novel by James Clavell, published in 1975, roughly a 1,000 pages. They made it into a TV miniseries in 1980 that aired on national network TV starring Toshiro Mifune as Toranaga and Richard Chamberlain as the anjin. It was a BIG deal at the time. I have it on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray lol, I love it. I was 10 years old when it aired and I watched it all and then read the book. It sparked my interest in Japanese history, language, and culture.
Clavell wrote a series of 6 books based in Asia, called the Asian Saga. Others of note are: Tai-pan (1965), which takes place in the mid 1800s Hong Kong/China around the time of the first Opium War and the founding of Hong Kong. It is my second favorite Clavell book after Shogun. It was made into a movie in 1986, but I did not think it was too good.
The next best novel IMO is King Rat (1962), which takes place in a Singapore prison/POW camp (Changi) during WW2 (Clavell was actually a prisoner in the Changi Prison camp during WW2). The book is great and they made a movie of it in 1965. I love the movie and I recommend you react to it.
I recommend to have some tissues nearby for future episodes.... 🙌 (this is a novel from the 70s based in real characters from 1600 Japan. John Blackthorne's rl name was William Addams and he had and incredible journey in Japan)
Omg so hyped for you guys to start this. The book series is phenomenal and the show is spectacular. Enjoy the ride fellas :D
Great reaction! Happy that you guys are hooked, you'll love it, it is a rollercoaster.
Yesssssssss!!!!!! Thanks for reacting to Shogun guys.
Great choice Badd medicine this has been a go to show for me
This show has been visually stunning and the acting has been awesome. Enjoy guys!
One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
This is truly one of the most beautiful series I've ever seen. I'm trying to stretch out the last few episodes cuz I don't want it to end! It's really spectacular in every aspect.
It’s so great to see you guys reacting to Shogun; thank you! Looking forward to seeing more!
Watched the original TV mini series with Richard Chamberlian as the main character. It was great for its time but, I can already tell this will be ten times better.
The characters in this show are amazing and the culture shock is real (not only for Blackthorne), the show truly is a MASTERPIECE.
ALRIGHT GUYS, I'm here for it!! You're gonna love this series too! Can't wait to watch on my lunch break or when I get home tonight. 💪💪💪💪
I was hoping you do this series! Thanks!
I just started watching this yesterday, perfect timing!
The novel is based on actual Japanese history of the Sengoku era. Taiko was Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toranaga is Tokugawa Ieyasu . All the main characters are based on real people. Google Sengoku era or one of those names. 🤙🏾
There's usually one drama a year that really stands out. This production counts for quite a few years. Superb stuff. Looking forward to you watching the rest of it.
Okay, so real important distinction. The Emperor is just fine. We're fighting here to make sure that the dead Prime Minister's heir lives long enough to take over the hereditary role and assume Rulership over all of Japan. The five Regents were appointed as a way of preventing any one of the main threats to the Heir's life and future reign from deciding to just take the power and declare themselves Prime Minister, or in Toranaga's case because he alone had the "necessary bloodline" and ancestry, Warlord/Generalissimo (Shogun).
The Emperor be just fine. Never in any danger. We're not even anywhere close to Kyoto.
I saw the original on TV for homework assignments in 4th grade when it was on in the 80s. My parents didn't realize all of the content. Probably still don't, 40 years later. It was such an alien cultural depiction I immediately read the novel, and I ended up re-reading that novel a neurospicy amount of times until it got replaced with the Wheel of Time novels. Just stating that because FX did a tremendous job with this adaptation. They hit the main quest faithfully and all the side quest character arc beats they've managed to at least give a nod to, even if they don't give it screen time directly. It feels like they coded an easter-egg love letter to the book lovers, because even when a favorite scene or interaction doesn't appear, they nod to it enough that it's like a respectful nod to the need to cut some things, but also recognizing that no matter what gets cut someone is going to feel disappointed by that, so it's like a subtle little "We see you, our bad, but isn't the rest of the story great?" And that's such a lovely touch. They haven't needed it much, but when certain scenes ended up cut, it still felt like they were acknowledged, and nobody else does that yet.
They assumed the "heir" is an heir to the imperial throne, and the deceased "Taiko" is an emperor.
Cosmo Jarvis is originally a musician/singer before became an actor. He sings indie rock songs.
They're using ' period Japanese ' kinda like Shakespearean English. It's true to 17th century Japan. If dude didn't draw his sword in the castle he wouldn't have had to kill himself and his kid. No one else draws because that's totally against samurai castle etiquette. Samurai were allowed to cut down commoners . It's kiri sute gomen. Get ready for a wild ride gentlemen 🤙🏾💯
The Taiko (the previous ruler of Japan) wasn't the Emperor but rather a commoner warlord. That warlord was one of the great unifiers of all of Japan. The Emperor can only come from a specific family. This mini-series follows the novel about 80% - the major plot points are followed but some middle-level reasons have changed.
In the scene where the courtesan lady appears, you will understand the meaning of what she did in the episode "Women of the Willow World". She had served various people with various conditions, so what she did was her attempt to divert Yabushige's attention from enjoying the moment of death to another kind of "pleasure".
OMG OMG OMG My fav reaction chanel reacting to the BEST show of the year!!! LET'S GOOOOO♥
The casting and writing and costume design and just everything for F's sake is extraordinary! You guys are in for a wild ride! The series ends in a few days so I'm glad you guys can binge watch it.
OMG fallout and shogun 🥳🥳🥳 this show is going to WIN everything!!
hell yeeah, more Shogun reactions to look forward to!!! ♥
_Shogun_ is a fantastic show! 🤩
I hit like before I even watched the video. You are in for QUITE a ride with this series. The first episode is just a warm up. The finale is next Tuesday and I'm conflicted. I can't wait to see it, but I'm sad it's coming to an end. I watched the original series in high school featuring, Richard Chamberlain, as John Blackthorne and that was amazing. THIS one blows it out of the water. Hiroyuki Sanada was both lead actor and a producer. He made sure to have everything as authentic as possible. It was filmed in Vancouver. The details are insane!!!! You are not prepared for what's to come in the following episodes. Enjoy the journey!!!!
Actor who play Lord Yabushige also played Raiden in the last Mortal Kombat movie
Nice! Another show I can watch with the Badd Medicine crew. What a great show.
You can see the true spirituality of Japan from many scenes in this drama. Please enjoy this opportunity.
And please don't forget the proverb, "The eye is the window of the mind."
with all my respect🎉from🇯🇵🗾JAPAN🏯,dude🌷🌿🌠
p.s.Japanese media does not cover the drama ``Shogun,'' which is a hot topic in Western countries. Therefore, many Japanese people are not aware of this fact. Japanese TV and media only report things that disparage Japan. 😭 It might sound strange but it is true.thankyou , sir.🌿
The adage is "the eyes are the windows to the soul".
Toranaga is Tokugawa Ieyasu. Clavell is using different names for artistic license.
one of the best shows ever i'm glad you guys are reacting to it
Such a good series! The detail is amazing
We are so back, this series is really good, series finale airs on this upcoming Tuesday!
The kid isn’t the emperor just fyi, he’s more of a regent to be that holds more power than the emperor which at this time is more of a figurehead
I m certainly gonna enjoy this!!!
This story is loosely based on real history, the show is based on a novel and a 1980 mini series. I am always hesitant on suggesting this show cause you really have to look at it from japanese culture of that era, they will do things that don't make sense to some people.
I understand why this is a limited series and won’t be getting a second season of course, but still, I need more!!!!
this show and black sails have one of the best written stories of any tv show, it reminds me so much of black sails.
Guys, by this occasion you started a new show, let me direct you to another one season hidden gem - Taboo, with beloved Tom Hardy. Absolutely georgous, absolutely underestimated. Would be nice to watch this again, aside so excellent company.
Interesting we first meet John looking down on his captain's suicide but bows to Yabu for it.
You’re witnessing a masterpiece..never knew a single series could even get to those heights but here we are. I’m not even into subs but fml it’s so great. Production to direction to choreography & some of the shots are breathtaking, Great Wall paper potential on your desktops etc.
sweet summer children; you have no idea whats in store for you. Enjoy the ride!!!
you guys will enjoy this show
So glad you guys have started watching this
Cosmo Jarvis sounds very much like Richard Burton
Glad you guys are hooked and enjoying the show so far! Highly recommend checking out Shogun’s official podcast on FX’s CZcams channel. It gives some behind the scenes information for each episode.
I don't know about that.. it's a good show but I wouldn't go that far
An award shows me nothing to me
@@phillipsalaises2782 Cool that's your opinion!
This series is actually more centered toward whole dynamics of the Shogun and the Council and their families than the 80's show. That show was more focused on Blackthorne and his experiences in Japan. I need to read the book now. This really looks into what actually is was to live at that time in Japan. Awesome!
Fk yeah! You boys are on it this week!
I just started watching this last week, hard to ration it, but still a few episodes left.
Make sure you take in the culture shift, you have to break your mental, it is completely different in the east. You can lose your head in the middle of the street for not showing enough respect for upper class and noone will bat an eye.
In reality it was exactly the same in the west back in those days, but the media kind of propagated this dillusion that we were more 'civilized' - we weren't (invention of guillotine, public executions etc.). But the respect for upper class, for elders, for your 'senpai' is still going strong in the east and if you're not an avid anime fan this is a mental shift you need to get with and get with fast to properly take this show in.
Welcome to the Warring States Period in Japan! I look forward to seeing the rest of the story.
Scorpion and Raiden! I'm glad to see these two Mortal Kombat guys working together!
This show is poetry, I hope you enjoy it.
Phenomenal show, you guys are going to love it.
You guys are in for a ride🤭
This series is literally sooooo good. Wish it was longer!!!
These guys never miss
crazy how i was just thinking about what if u guys reacted to fallout and shogun since those are 2 great shows i've been watching recently and then literally the next 2 days, the reactions are uploaded - great timing for a pleasant surprise
Next Monday is the finale, hope you guys catch up in real time to avoid spoiler even though the channel is posting once a week.
You're truly spoiling us with such excellent content this week! 😁 these genre of shows are always an interesting watch! After just 1 episode I'm already hooked too!
As soon as I heard "Minowana Bloodline" I did ☝️ with you, 18:22 -18:51 gave me smile, & response to Quinn asking how long it took to get hooked 24mins & 37 seconds, looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds with you guys!
Yes! I've been waiting for this!
i love shogun im so glad i got to rewatch it again with yall!!!!
I decided to what this Tv show alongside with you guys and because of work I was behind on the first episode. I literally finished the ep 5 five minutes before you posted this video. Amazing!! This Tv show is on fire, this was a really good intro to this entire story. Also, this episode set the tone to almost all the characters and the way they did it was wow. Also, with the scene where the naked girl was looking at the other man, I think we are meant to judge, at least wonder why on earth that man is watching or why the girl was there, what does that mean, is the girl a servent of some deity? we are meant to wonder I guess, to get the real meaning behind it (so I'm there with Diamond with the wondering and wanting answers). Also, the baby scene, wow, it crushed me. Also when they cut the head of the guy, I WAS NOT expecting that. Incredible beginning to this new tv show
The most anticipated series reaction!!! Itching to see you react to more 💪🏽
I'm glad you guys are getting to this show. The book is one of my all-time faves. I loved the 1980s mini-series with Richard Chamberlain & Toshiro Mifune and I'm really enjoying this one. The differences in the adaptations are fascinating. Both are excellent takes on excellent source material. I'm very eager to see the finale tomorrow and then will watch you make your way through the eps to continue to savor it. :)
Digging it fellas.. your reactions are spot-on the show really hits me with almost a Black sails feel with the way it is done. Oak! you got to come out with full Kabuki makeup on!
Yes!! I love this show! Such an interesting drama
As a long time fan of the novel, and someone who didn't really enjoy the old mini series, this first episode is so damn good and I am excited to see the rest!
