The house wives are all finer than Lady Kiku. Mariko, Ochiba, and Anjins consort

Mariko for sure, Ochiba maybe kinda... but the consort is plain jane IMO

Lady Kiku actress

vs

Fuji-sama actress

I stand by my statement. Fuji with minimal makeup looks better than Kiku wearing whiteface. Kiku wearing contemporary makeup is another story entirely.

I've been busy so I got behind, but goddamn this is good. Bit of a slow burn, but I imagine when shit hits the fan, it will be wild.

Fishpicker · 03-30-2024, 02:49 PM

does anyone know the name of the tool that Anjin uses to aim the cannon @1:30 - 1:34? I think it is a navigational plotter tool with a protractor but I have no idea

**srvy** · 03-30-2024, 11:24 PM

Maybe it was something similar to an inclinometer.

**srvy** · 03-31-2024, 02:22 PM

The main reason that artillery was so devastating was the bore was loaded with chain shot.
Normally used by the British Navy to knock down ships' masts. I guess Anjin is holding one ready to load it in that scene

GloucesterChief · 04-03-2024, 12:18 PM

Just on the cable side of nudity and gore.

KC_Connection · 04-03-2024, 12:39 PM

Sheesh, rough way to go out. Fitting for that character though.

**Easy 6** · 04-04-2024, 06:04 AM

Things are reeeally heating up, gonna be interesting to see how they get out of this tight spot... but however they do it, it seems like Lady Kiku will have something to do with it

Kiimo · 04-04-2024, 09:05 AM

I wasn't a fan of deviating from the story/book that much but social media is all in a hoot about it

**Buehler445** · 04-04-2024, 08:08 PM

Man. That head crunching scene is the most believable head crunch I've seen. That was really good. I was almost proud of the kid. Until he yeeted himself out of this life.

Episode 7 is a bunch of b******* none of that s*** happened in the book. The Anjin isn't an a****** like that. Toronaga's son doesn't die like that. It's not even as oldest as son. They kind of f*** this up

Meh, GoT strayed from the books constantly and everyone still loved the show... it doesn't ruin anything for those who never read the book

Clavell himself took liberties with the true story behind Toranaga's character
