17th century wasn't it? And I think the English was early 1920s more than anything as well.That just made me wonder if Americans have any concept of time or history at all.

1780 something i thoughtso 18th
either way slightly wrong accent for the period. not to mention he's managed to become fluent in Japanese in less than ten years with no teaching.
series two gets off to a slow start, but the writer's strike kicks it right in the chuff in the second half. so infuriating.

1671Also according to my history the feudal, war samurais in full armour, period ended at the very start of the 17th century. So it would be more than likely that they would have rifles instead.
Also also, if you look at the dates of Kensei's birth and death in series 1 they don't actually match up with the second series at all.
