Shogun: Lord Yoshi Toranaga (Lord Of The Kwanto; Lord Of The Eight Provinces; Chief Daimyo; played by Toshiro Mifune) continues his war cry speech to his Samurai Warriors in Yedo, Japan. Toranaga makes Anjin-San (Pilot-Major John Blackthorne played by Richard Chamberlain) a Samurai Warrior, after Anjin-San saved Lord Toranaga’s life on several occasions. Lord Toranaga gives Anjin-san a Fishing Village in the south of Yedo, Japan, the right to recruit 200 Samurai Retainers, 10 Horses, and 20 Kimonos, and a Special Katana Sword, made by the Master Craftsman, Yoriya. You, Anjin-san, you are now… Samurai!
Shogun, the novel, was written by James Clavell. The masterpiece television miniseries was directed by Jerry London, screenplay by Eric Bercovici, and Andrew Laszlo as Director Of Photography. There was an A-List Cast, an A-List Director, an A-List Musical Score from Maurice Jarre, and A-List production with amazing sets and intricate costumes, detailed in that time era.
There is a new Shogun coming out on the FX Channel in February 2024, but honestly, I do not see how any version of Shogun can top this amazing production of excellent cinematography. If you haven’t seen Shogun (Directed by Jerry London), you ought to watch it and enjoy the beauty and quality of this masterpiece.

When he made him a samurai he was trapping him into obedience . It was a very smart move . He now belonged to him .
200 Samuari, 10 horses and 20 Kimono's? He could have 20 Kimonos? He could have twenty pieces of clothing?
This just blows away the same scene in the new Shogun series. Blackthorne understands what this honour means to him and his survival, in the new series he just takes the swords and shambles back into the ranks frowning, they have lobotomized him. And, Toshiro Mifune….
THEY TOOK OUR JOBS
Anjin-San : "Thanks but I'd rather have 5 palace maids…."
Omi and Yabu, looking extra salty
Yabu, Omi and Buntaro all thinking, "All our lives we've killed, tried not go get killed, tried not to make Toranaga mad, made sure to beat the people double crossing us in order to get to this point. This guy crashes his ship against the rocks of my village, Toranaga takes an interest in him, and in six months he's a Samurai."
Japanese Samurai dying inside, same as any other moment in life. Being a samurai, no pressure at all. 😅
Sounds like a true man.
I have watched the new series of Shogun to this point, and so far, I am still leaning towards the original series.
Great movie I must of watched it over 40 times in past 25 years on a rainy day I watch all of them 12 hours but sooooo worth it !!!😊
What an honor, that is unbelievable.
Did Toranaga ever address him as "Anjin-san"? I think he still called him just Anjin, didn't he? I would think, especially since Blackthorne's now a samurai, he should get "-san" added to his title.
I wonder if the voice over during final seconds of this clip is that of Toshirō Mifune? If so, his English pronunciation, all be it brief, is quite clear and incisive.
Toranaga is the Japanese version of a Don Corleone or Don Clericuzio. You don't maintain your position in such an environment being a fool. He kept his friend close in this case.
And he can't decline. He would be a fool to do so. As cunning as Toranaga is, he is better an ally than an enemy.
Loved the book, love both TV versions.
Even the night scene here is brighter than many of the daytime scenes in the current series. British Columbia not noted for its sunny days.
BIG BOY COME HERE!
YOU EAT LIKE FREE-EE-REE!
John Pinette is the reason i had to watch this.
Yabu had the look of there goes my prize and my honor!!
Omi-San finally accepted Anjin-San as an equal in this scene with his look.
After years watching, just caught Naga getting a name check!👍👍👍
やはり、三船が世界一。
