Mariko's quote about how if all you live for is freedom you will never be free of yourself is basically her saying the pursuit of freedom often causes you to lose sight of your responsibilities and that impacts the people around you. Life is not led alone and there must be a balance with our responsibilities to the people around us.

2024-05-14 07:46:40 +0000 UTCThis is my favourite episode of the show, it's all about John discovering that his words and actions have meaning and consequences for other people. This helps him to become less individualistic and is all part of him starting to understand Japanese culture a little more. 1. Buntaro hits Mariko and when John confronts him he blames the sake. The only reason he had drank so much in the first place was because John provoked him into a pissing contest where they went bowl for bowl. 2. John learns that his words have meaning when the gardener sacrifices himself to take down the pheasant. We as an audience also see that his death isn't meaningless as it allowed Toranaga's spy to go undiscovered. 3. John learns from Mariko that the swords Fuji gave him have no real significance or importance but the act of him giving them to Toranaga bestows value upon them.

2024-05-13 04:17:27 +0000 UTCI understand you guys' reaction to Mariko's and Fuji's explanation and justification or the gardener's death, but hopefully in the next few episodes it may become more clear what they meant. Loving watching these again with you guys! I'm catching so much stuff I missed the first time.
