a Shōgun x Like a Prayer edit that highlights the evolution of John Blackthorne's view on Death, Sacrifice, Love and Duty in Shōgun

at the end, he became so Japanese that he tried committing seppuku, but Toranaga just straight up told him no ur not allowed to since u aint Japanese

the Japanese are bound by shame, while the WASPs are bound by guilt. and in the end, both John and Yoshii were humbled by how even though each of their culture have very different views regarding to Death, Sacrifice, Love and Duty, yet the yearn to live and die with Honour is universal among all great civilizations and virtuous human beings.
