2024-03-04 05:10:44 +0000 UTCBy this time (1600) like 4 years earlier (1596) a Spanish ship had sailed off from the phillipines and landed on the coast of Japan. The Captain was subsequently captured and interrogated and confessed that sending in Christian priests and converting people was a precursor to fully colonizing/taking over the country. Japan then pretty much started going hard after christians. It was called the San Felipe Incident. The previous leader who united the 5 war lords was the leader when it happened in real life. But the show kinda doesnt acknowledge it that much because even the Porteguese priests were kicked out.

Yoshii Taranago told the grandfather he would see to it that his granddaughter (the baby’s mother) lives. You should probably read the Wiki episode breakdown because you’re confused on quite a bit and it will make episode 2 easier to digest. FX has also released a lot supplemental material to help Western audiences understand some of the customs and political machinations. The heir’s mother was visiting her pregnant sister, who married into Yoshii’s family. They don’t like that he has extended his reach and allegiances through so many marriages. So while all five are supposed to be ruling until the heir comes of age, Yoshii has a lot more influence and power.
