    …and the English sailor who crashed nearby…

    Portuguese sailor. Only two languages are spoken in the story, Japanese and Portuguese. Whenever you hear someone speaking in English, they are speaking Portuguese in the story.

      It’s been a while since I saw it, but didn’t the Portuguese in Japan hate Blackthorne because he wasn’t one of them? And Blackthorne saw them as his enemy. But he was indeed speaking Portuguese in the story as he knew the language as part of dealing with Portuguese as a trader.
