Can't say as I haven't watched it yet. It looks like a tasty dish of eye candy, but I've heard that's all it really is. That being the case, though, it probably is not exemplar conduct of 'Bushido'.

would be funny! But the two I'm primarily thinking of... Well, one of
them is godless as far as I can tell. In fact, to give you an idea of
how so, one of the side characters in the cannon continuity learned a
technique that 'summons spirits of the departed'. But she herself was
quick to discover that they were only constructs made of her own past
memories, and therefore her own perceptions of said people, and declared
the technique to be useless.
In the other... Pretty sure their
Gods would view Garrick as some meddlesome brat. He'll be trying to
thwart a genocide that the gods are willing to permit a thousand-year
curse to facilitate.

of the things that this will change for my writing will be where
Garrick Grimm arrives in a feudal era analogue of Japan... and to his
surprise, his guns are taken rather well. Many will praise the weapons
for their efficiency at killing and long-distance striking capability...
and surprisingly few will find any qualms about killing from such a
long distance and with utter impunity. The only ones that would really
call foul on the guns would be the people that Garrick would use them
against.
Another thing that would change is that his enemies
would be very quick to label him as an outside-context problem and deal
with him as such. And the reason for this would be very, very simple:
there is no place for him in their caste system. He is neither peasant,
nor samurai. He has no claim on divinity (that they would recognize
readily, anyhow) so he is not of the Imperials. And he does not steal,
so they cannot really label him as a criminal. Anything he takes is by
right of conquest, and at most they can label him an outlaw.
they can label him as a foreign invader and call on the gods help in
expelling him. What would be funny if the gods answered and welcomed
Garrick as kin. At which point, his only social equals would be the
imperial family. And can you just see the chaos that would ensue!
