The series is loosely based on the actual writings of traders who lived with the Zulus for a period, as well as the Zulus' own verbal traditions. It covers the circumstances surrounding Shaka's birth, his childhood, and his rise to prominence, though most attention is given to the five year span from when traders began living with the Zulus to Shaka's downfall and death.

* RatedMForManly: Episode 5, where Shaka is a young man at the end of his first exile and at the beginning of his second, absolutely qualifies. Shaka's eight pack is prominently displayed, with feats including rock climbing, putting out a burning stick with his bare foot, and overall just being alpha enough to stand up to the Mtetwa general and even develop his own fighting techniques.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Shaka, because they impair his movement on the battlefield. His callused soles certainly justify his point of view; he can step on a burning stick without flinching, as he demonstrates. When he's granted permission to train his own soldiers, he starts by running them long distances barefoot until their own feet are as tough as his.
* DownerEnding: While YMMV whether or not Shaka's death was for the better, his entire capital was razed to the ground.
