He should be hawking steaks and “university” educations by now?

Won't Trent.

Absolutely. Toranaga says he has no plan, he’s surrendering, it’s all over. And Gin basically gives him “sure, whatever you say. But after that when you are in charge, I’ve got an idea....”

Even the non-British part isn’t the utopia that paragraph implies.

They have a lot in common! For instance, how you read the titles.  The X in the title of GxK makes no sense and if you put a comma after the first two words of LLB it serves as a plot summary.

Yup. And that’s worse.

As I said, there is no explanation for his behavior that doesn’t make him an asshole.
