"We live and we die. We control nothing beyond that."

so much amazing acting in this scene. not verbal....but physical. The way everyone is looking at eachother tells so much without having a word said.

[GaijinCartoonist]

That look, Torinaga knows the history of those swords and just, gives the look of "How about that?" and gives a chuckle

[adrianhilltobar]

i love how Toranaga basically tells him he is never leaving and that even thou he is hatamoto he is basically still a hostage just with benefits but he is still the first man to jump down to rescue him

[jedtulman]

Yes the birds taking off just before the earthquake is truly a marvelously natralistic detail ..so well done !

[mbranche]

Toronaga being saved by Buckthorne, not once, but twice (he diverted the guards from his hiding in the caravan) has him bewildered. Such honorable acts from a foreign stranger humbles him. A first for him?. He extends favors not owes them.

Really good acting/scriptwriting that Toranaga goes for his sword when the landslide starts. A true warrior, ready to fight mother nature herself, and die defiantly, in the face of hopeless odds.

Honestly, I look forward to this drama every week. Personally, I think Shogun will win an Emmy this year.

This scene marks a major improvement over the earthquake scene in the 1980 NBC series (which was also great, and had a magnificent cast, a great script, and superb production values for its time and format): the bigger budget and combined CGI and practical special effects account for most of that.

JB living up to that title of Hatamoto before and after it was granted. Saved the Galley Crew during the storm (including Yabushige & Rodrigues), prevented Toranaga's capture in Osaka with his "bafoonery" as Jozen termed it, got Toranaga & Co all out of Osaka Harbor, literally pulls Toranaga out of the Earth after the landslide then tops it off by offering him his swords. Now thats Soldiering!

[Lolzbeastie]

You can hear the birds beginning to squawk before obvious birds flying scene - great detail, and im loving it

[polesetter_]

This scene was incredibly well done. The CGI was mind blowing!

[justopinions]

I love the double take Toranaga gives, when he comes to the realization that the barbarian has just saved him yet again.

[kirayoungblood]

Incredible scene and John giving his katanas to Toranaga touched my heart! ❤

[JeremyIceAndFire]

Blackthorne truly realizing how much weight his words carry here now that's he's Hatamoto.

[wattlebough]

The way the birds flew up in the distance seconds before the earthquake is such a great detail.

[Brendissimo]

Wow I forgot how thematically connected the earthquake is to the scene just before. Good editing, including the end of that in this clip.

[keith]

Probably the greatest show of all time. I would like to hear any sort of argument that it wasn't. The amount of work patience and dedication it took from everyone to literally step back in time watching this was unreal. Like to see someone tell me they didn't feel anything the last episode. ....

[giagshs]

I like the way natural disasters like landslide, earthquake is used very well in the show. acting is top notch!
