[quote]Just started this a couple nights ago., and I’ll preface this by saying I have zero knowledge of the books, and how closely it does/doesn’t follow them, but I’ve really been enjoying it so far. About half way through. However it does strike me as being one of those series that has the potenti...

In that era, the emperor is purely a deity like figurehead and is isolated from any real power by the daimyos. In the series, Toranaga refers to the emperor at least on...

There was a scene where Taiko asks Toranaga to protect his son from the other Daimyos before he dies.[/quote]
You are correct. However, I am fairly certain there is an "Emperor" in Kyoto that presuma...

I'm kind of surprised the emperor is never (or hardly ever) mentioned. I'm somewhat familiar with the Sengoku Jidai period, and I know the emperor remained a figurehead until the Meiji Restoration. However, my understanding is the Shogun/Daimyo claimed to be ruling on behalf of the emperor, so part ...

Not a huge fan of now they just copied the first challenge. Also, the privilege is undercut by them choosing relatively equal opponents (I assume they are pushed to do this by producers to make sure it’s watchable and doesn’t result in all the women being eliminated immediately). Honestly makes sens...
