The pilot is named Anjin

Father Sebastio tells the cellar how Pieterzoon died and calls the pilot up. Blackthorne climbs into the sun, collapses, and forces himself to stand and rage at Omi ("Tell him he's a turd"). Omi offers a bath and food if he "behaves"; when Blackthorne refuses and says he pisses on Omi's daimyo, the boy Croocq is trussed and put into the cauldron and the fire lit. Blackthorne yields, answers "hai" directly, and Omi urinates on his back. Croocq is lifted out barely warmed, and Omi renames the barbarian "Anjin", Pilot. On the veranda Yabu praises Omi's reasoning about Christians who "love one another", raises his fief from five hundred to three thousand koku, promises horses, armour and a hatamoto's rank, and gives him a garden rock to be named "The Waiting Barbarian". Then a many-oared galley rounds the headland flying the Toranaga crest.

The breaking of Blackthorne, done as a bargain. Clavell lets him win the small fight and lose the large one, then has Omi urinate on him so that submission is physical. The naming as Anjin is the hinge: the book's hero now exists under a Japanese word.
