Im kinda interested in the way of feudalism in medieval Japan. Basically the emperor was just a puppet of the Shogun and he had all the power. But how did you became to be the Shogun? Does he get elected or is it always the son of the current Shogun who gets to be the next Shogun?
How did people became Shogun?

I've been here for two years, I'm not sure it's so much that their lives suck as it is Japanese culture doesn't really compute with western culture.
Like you hear about of salary men working long hours, but those dudes don't actually have to be competent at their job. As long as they're at work and cool with being average (which is most Japanese people) they can just coast through life. It's not the worst thing in the world.

First you'd need to be a samurai noble and a blood relative of the Emperor (no matter how strenuous that connection might be), secondly you'd need to be the current king shit of the fuck mountain that is Japan, so that the Emperor can be "persuaded" to make you Shogun, thus making your preeminent position official. Then you'd just have to find a way to stop anyone from getting too powerful to fuck with that position, and hope that your successors don't fuck up and let power slip away from them.

I mean 80s and 90s seemed pretty comfy

Why didn't people overthrow the emperor?
I mean if you wanted to become Shogun you'd literally have to fight and conquer the emperor's troops. You're already killing his men, why not kill him too?

>90s seemed pretty comfy
If you call "watching your entire world and economy crash into flames around you overnight" comfy, then sure.
