    Am I the only one who got vilain vibes from Toranaga in this scene? He lays down his own plan to a man he's about to kill. He's basically toying with the Anjin and the "He's only alive because he amuses me and keeps my enemies distracted" really freaked me out. Plus he let his son and his two most loyal vassals die for this.

      That's not entirely true. Toranaga needs the Anjin to keep the Portuguese neutral in Japan's affairs. So long as they fear Blackthorne can expose their trade route and blow open their exclusivity, they will implore Toranaga to geld the Anjin. The burning of the ship is the act of gelding. It brokers peace with the Portuguese. Without the Anjin, the Portuguese have no need to parlay with Toranaga. With the Anjin, they are forced to the table with Toranaga. Moreover, Anjin will provide a naval force or at least the threat of one. This makes the other Regents respect (even if over-estimating) Toranaga's prowess and military might. Anjin is both an ace in the hole and a straw man at the same time. Thus, Anjin holds great value.

      Well, he's based on Tokagawa Ieyasu. Since there won't be a season 2, I'll say how that story ends.
      The sequel to the show is the 200 years of the Tokagawa Shogunate.
      So yeah, you could see him as the villain. He definitely seized power from the rightful Shogun, the heir commited seppuku.
      That said, he also retired after 2 years and handed the Shogunate to his son, so that there would be no civil war over the succession. It was as much as family legacy in a Tywin Lannister way as personal lust for power.

Yabushige saw to the horizon but Toranaga was seeing & envisioning beyond the horizon.

So when Toranaga finally did achieve victory he kept John around even though he perceived him as a hopeless fool made to be his servant through force & manipulation through the web of lies he created, but this was only possible through Toranaga's newly gained power, & his newly gained power was only obtained through the realization he arrived at because of him. John i would say was walking irony in his eyes hence why he says he keeps him around because it makes him laugh & also something of a good luck charm i suppose, kind of like Elon Musk's Dogecoin, something he created purely as a joke to make fun of crypto currencies with no real goal in mind for it to become successful, but getting a kick out of it if it did happen to become successful because of a joke he made making fun of the very behavior the coin was designed to mock.

      That a TV show can weave depth of character like this into a few episodes is a rare treat these days. Disney or Netflix couldn't have made it.
      Sometimes the price of peace is very high, Toranaga brought 200 years of peace and an end to a century of civil war so he paid a very high price indeed.
      If he hadn't acted the wars would have continued, more death and suffering, more chaos and when the Americans come 200 years later to forcibly end Japanese isolation they'd have found a nation on the brink. In his mind, the only way to stop the violence was to take control.
      It worked.
      There's a lot of comparison to Tywin Lannister because guys that win often have to do some really nasty actions. I'm NOT a proponent of the ends justify the means, but in Toranaga's case he played the game of thrones and won, and the benefit for the country was centuries of peace.
      The question is, did he really care or was all this for himself? Do those goals have to be exclusive?
      There's a saying: Strong men bring Good times, Good times bring Weak men, Weak men bring Hard times, Hard times bring Strong men.
      Toranaga was strong, the 200 years of peace and isolation brought good times but also weakness, the American intervention brought a correction and the rise of the Japanese empire, defeat of Russia and China and the horror of WW2 Pacific conflict. Then there was peace again and now are faced with a neighbour that would turn Japan into a vassal if it could.
      Arguably that phrase was as true for Japan 300 years ago as it is for all of us today and sometimes we have to ask ourselves what we're prepared to sacrifice for the peace and prosperity of others? Gang violence, Tyrannical Govts, Global Corps that see their customers as consumer slaves, some might even argue we all need Strong Men right now?

      Maybe Emperor Palpatine, bring an end to the war "and we will have peace"?
      I need to read the book, but did the guy do this for himself, his country or both? Are these aims exclusive? The result was an end to civil war and 200 years of peace and prosperity until the Americans showed up. With guns. Probably screaming USA USA ... I mean do I need to go on lol?
      Love that Toranaga isn't a 2D villain but a person with a lot of motivations.
      It's tough to imagine the turmoil of civil war but for some loosing a son and a couple of trusted 'friends' to end it all, might just be worth it. Oh and you get to be absolute ruler [sort of] as a bonus! Sold!

      Well they all said the same thing about the book, then the 1980's TV show ... some things never change.
      Hopefully some will do research and maybe get a taste for history, wouldn't that be cool?

    These are just incidental on the path to shogun.. true leader.. he didnt sacrifice an army.. just a women, son, and friend. True leader consideres the human costs without bias.
