Take a stroll back in time to Shogunate Japan to learn about one of the foundational tales of Japanese national identity: the Ako Incident, also known as the Vendetta of the 47 Ronin. From the countryside 47 Samurai Warriors emerge to take vengeance for their slaughtered lord, shaking the foundations of Japanese society. Join us as we unwrap their plot, and their greater victory that persists beyond death.

Rules:

1. Every time Derek says the word "honor" - 1 sip 2. Every time someone dies unnecessarily - 3 sips 3. Every time this guy Kira acts like a bit of a cunt - shot
