This story would have been more believable if they had cast an Asian, or Asian-American as "Tokura". Ricardo Montalban was a great actor, but he can't convince anyone that he is of Japanese descent.
Another glitch is the incorrect portrayal of "Bushido". This is not a gang or a cult. Bushido is "the way of the warrior"; it was the code that a Samurai would have lived by. The research staff should have done their homework.
Numerous other flaws have been picked apart by other commenters on this page. All in all there are just too many errors in "Samurai". This is an early bad episode in an otherwise great television series.
