So what's up with his topknot? :headscratch:
Like yanie mentioned a while ago, this drama is making Ieyasu look like an Oda vassal, instead of an independent daimyo who is an ally.
He should've had that knot since long ago, right after becoming independent from the Imagawa clan when Nobunaga defeated and killed Yoshimoto in 1560...and this drama starts in 1568.
In my translation, I've tried to give the word "lord" to only actual independent daimyos like Nobunaga, Ieyasu, Yoshimoto, etc. And the word "sir" to everyone else, including vassal-daimyos like Hideyoshi, Mitsuhide, etc.
I was hoping by giving the word "lord" to Ieyasu, it'd be easier to see that he's supposed to be on the same level as Nobunaga. But all the little things (hairstyle, being always at Oda's events, etc) make it impossible, lol
Edit: in ep 6, I gave the word "lord" to Akechi, but only when Saito Toshimitsu addresses him as such (ue-sama). His other vassals still address him as "tono," these instances I still used "sir."
