Started watching Shogun

I like Fuji. Everyone else makes me mad. Even John Blackthorne because he shouts too much. And he’s a pirate. 🤭 Okay, so he’s more likable as the show goes on, but only a little.
Mariko…maybe. She’s funny at times. She gave Kiku a less honest translation of what John said to her. That made me laugh.

John: Tell her prostitutes from my homeland are never as inquisitive or nicely put together. *blush*

Mariko: He prefers women from his homeland. 😑

John: Tell her I don’t have the words to express how grateful I am. *blush*

Mariko: He said thanks. 😒


Other times, I get it. She has a very tragic backstory, and she’s made herself cold-hearted in many ways.

Fuji, though. I thought she was just a character with terrible things constantly happening to her. But when she got more scenes and showed her personality, I just find her so quirky and funny. She promised to guard John’s guns, and threatened people who tried to take them even though she was crying before about having to serve John. Her crying in another scene, begging John to let them get rid of the stinky rotting pheasant. 😂😔

@SW-User I think the way they express the extreme differences between cultures is done very well. We get to be as horrified and confused as John. (How words can’t just be thrown around. They have weight and consequences, especially when someone is given status)
