Toronaga bowing to Buntaro as a sign of respect for his courage is priceless. I love that scene, also because Mriko shows some emotions despite her bad relationship with him.

Hatamoto was a very respected position. Essentially meant bannerman and had a respectable yearly wage as well as granting the right to an audience directly with a Daimyo (Lord) which was above what a typical member of the Samurai class could expect. Anyone being granted such a title was someone who commanded noticable respect. To be given to a foreigner was even doubly so. (William Adams the man John Blackthorne is based on was also made Hatamoto by the real world Toranaga Ieyasu Tokugawa.)

when you say "they," you are referring exclusively to Yabushige. Boiling people alive was not customary among the Japanese, strictly Yabushige's fictional character. So I don't think this is a fair argument

@@braxtonmims4223 Boiling alive was the punishment for murder by poisoning in Tudor England. The series does create misconceptions of both European (specifically English since we have Blackthorne as the primary reference) and Japanese worlds. There were lots of ways to face execution unthinkable today in both cultures. Cosmo has more in common with his Japanese colleagues on set than either do with the world of 1600. Also, the show and book don't take account of class differences. Blackthorne would have more in common with the common Japanese peasantry and workers around than he does with the aristocracy in Japan or in England for various reasons. Most Japanese peasants aren't bathing daily either since they don't have an army of servants to do the work in a world without electricity, indoor plumbing, and running hot water.

More prejudice back then due to people not being connected and educated about the rest of the world. I'm sure if a Japanese person visited England at the same time period, the locals would also give them a "name." Remember in the first episode, they were both calling each other savages.

Toranaga was not a fisherman, and anyway, as it is historically correct, and pointed out in the book also, Japanese at that time were not really "sailors". They did not have a need for that, as they did not have anyone to trade with (China hated them), and for example when they came to invade Korea, Korean navy whoopped their asses (the famous turtle ships). They sailed only near the shore, and felt uncomfortable when lost its sight - that's why they took Rodrigues as a pilot after all to the Yabu village, as he know how to sail and navigate open waters, and get to the village quickly. Sure Japanese were also pirates (waku is the term if I am not mistaken), but again, you have a ship full of nobility, not seamen (crew would not speak), so it is beliveable.
