In James Clavell's "Shogun," Blackthorne becomes a samurai in Chapter 31. This pivotal moment marks his formal acceptance into Japanese society and the samurai class, reflecting his personal transformation and integration into the culture he once viewed as foreign. The chapter highlights themes of honor, loyalty, and the complexities of identity within the historical context of feudal Japan.

Who was the greatest samurai?

It's a very subjective question. There were thousands of Samurai in Japanese history, but my personal favourite was the English sailor William Adams born 1564 who was given the honour of being the first non-Japanese Samurai. The reason i would give for Adams being famous is that James Clavell wrote a book which was fictional character called Captain John Blackthorne, but was based on William Adams exploits. The book called "SHOGUN" which was a number one best seller in 1975 and was subsequently made into a series.
