Another follower commented, "I came to your shores TO USE YOU" Blackthorne is gonna have no chill after Episode 9's ending and I got chills with that line delivery."

Another fan praised the series, saying, "Really hope this has an awards cleanup this year - deserves to win in every category. The detail is insane - love the accompanying podcast too!"

Another viewer expressed their disappointment at the absence of a second season, commenting, "What's great about this script and acting is that Ieyasu's strategic strategies and his fatherly raccoon demeanor are always hidden behind Sanada Toranaga's back as layers. The artistry of this work was enhanced by depicting that era as it was, without relying on the various ideologies that often conflict in modern times. A valuable and wonderful work. However, from the Japanese perspective, "He made it to the Osaka camp, became the Seii Taishogun, and in both name and reality, Edo became the world's largest urban population and prosperous metropolis, and a world of peace and peace was born.'' I wanted you to do it until then. It's a pity that there is no Season 2."
