Here are some more scenes from 1980 Shogun just for comparison Blackthorne meets Rodrigues Blackhorne and the rotten pheasant Blackthorne and Buntaro's Sake fueled archery off
With how huge this has been I think 90% chance right now FX adapts a ton of other Asian Saga novels. At least Gai-Jin, Tai-Pan, and Noble House. Gai-Jin might make the most sense to do next if they plan to do a bunch, as it's basically the connector between the universe of Shogun and the larger arc of British multigenerational merchant dynasties in the east from the other novels.
Fantastic show. I love after all the “white savior” discourse when the show started, Blackthorne’s ultimate contribution was Toranaga’s jester.
I want a spinoff but it’s a travel show of Blackthorne traveling around the Jap-ans trying to figure out foods and traditions
