He who betrays will always walk alone

This is the best banner I’ve ever seen in a Premiership match:

It would be so funny if Liverpool finished 4th and Chelsea ended up 5th… like Stanley Ho’s lawyer said, “just wait and see, I think you’ll be surprised!”

Ryomaden 龍馬伝

Finally finished the last episode of “Ryomaden” and the ending does seem odd, or should I say a bit unfinished perhaps?

To me, Sakamoto Ryoma’s story doesn’t end and shouldn’t end with his assassination… his death alone had a huge impact on the subsequent events so why not contrast what happened afterwards vs what he envisioned for Japan as a country?

I think he did live to his fullest, even though it’s regretfully short.

Still one of the best NHK Taiga dramas in recent years… at least it seems better than the one this year (江〜姫たちの戦国〜).
