Episode 9 was very emotional. The false sense of security that Mariko ultimately would live was crushed when she sacrificed herself. I am also gutted that this amazing series will finally end next Tuesday. The series started on my birthday and my mother passed away a week later. My mother was an avid fan of exceptional TV shows and I am gutted she never got to enjoy Shogun like I did.

Absolutely looking forward to the finale! As there is no second season because "Shogun"'s story is self-contained, I'm hopeful that showrunners Justin Marks, Rachel Kondo and FX Hulu could get an adaptation of James Clavell's sort of sequel book "Gai-Jin" whose setting is in the 1800's (the height of Japan's Edo Period), off the ground. We've had adaptations of 2 of Clavell's other Asia Saga novels "Tai-Pan" (1986 ) as a feature film starring Bryan Brown and Joan Chen and "Noble House" as a 4 part NBC mini series starring Pierce Brosnan, two years later. So, why not "Gai-Jin"? Marks and Kondo already have the production templates, actor, artistic consultant and historical authenticity contacts and the requisite experience from having made "Shogun"...

Tbh i dont know how will end because we know for 100% sure they atleast show a bit of the battle of sekigahara. Because in a behind the scene episode called: "Expanding the Vision with VFX" on 1:29 they basically show both parties in full armor and having their armies in the background.

I think it will be blackthorn being seconed and Fuji-Sama stops it just before because i saw clip with her on that same cliff side looking panicked. Also in one trailer i saw with Blackthorn ship looked fixed with Torunaga's bird flying past it.

This show gives you the feeling of wanting more, they're building up to something, perhaps a big battle, perhaps a big plan. It's still missing the action a bit on my end. Which I doubt we will get a huge battle. A bit disappointed by it but Im okay with it. I've grown to love the show so much whichever way they decide to end it Im sure I will be in tears.

I was confused, so for any that have doubts about Blackthorne in those scenes in the future, those are a what if, in other words, Blackthorne died the moment Anjin made up his mind and decided to risk it all for honor at the end of the episode. That future we saw, was the future where Blackthorne lived and escaped Japan, as through the episode we see how Blackthorne is still barely holding himself together, lost his path but still had hope in his future as a protestant and englishman, now that Mariko is gone there was nothing tying him down in Japan. That hope and all traces of doubt crumbled in the forest scene when the Jesuit told him the truth, and finally turned into dust when he figured out what Mariko did for him. After all that no doubt was left in his mind, so he risked it all, honoring Mariko's wishes, leaving his englishman past behind. That moment most of his values changed, fully becoming japanese, embracing his new fate as a samurai, destroying his future we saw in those scenes with him as an old man. Blackthorne in episode 9 would've never considered doing what he did at the end of episode 10.

Toranaga acts as Second for Yabushige.

@@lindasm8773 Well, I usually need at least 9 strokes...

The fun thing about Blackthorne is that he constantly reads the Japanese leaders wrongly. He assumes his offers to go against the Portugese is what makes them keep him around. That his training is highly valued and that his plan to go after hte Black Ship is extremly tempting. In reality the reason he is kept around is basically just to keep the Portugese and Christian Daymios guessing and on their toes. Neither Ishido nor Tornaga have any intention to ever let the Anjin threaten the trade Portugal is doing on their behalf. Later down the line the Shogunate is happy to deal with Netherland traders instead, but that is still quite a long way of. He is being played and he doesn't even realise it. Even the whole build ships for me is a ruse to keep him occupied. There is no intention to ever turn those ships against the Portugal traders. Father Martin will be very disapointed in Toronaga handleing of catholics (and christians in general) in the future. And even more of the one his heirs implement. What some people who claim certain character ought to have picked Toronaga's side forget that given Toronaga's position, goals and policies it is not in their interest.

In the novel, Mariko entrusted Toranaga her letter to Blackthorne. Will it in the final episode? I hope so. Toranaga forced Ishido in an "unwinnable war" similar to his first victory. The Battle of Sekigahara is not crucial to be shown for we know Toranaga will win that battle. It is more crucial to know whom among the Regents will betray Ishido before or during the Battle.

It is just so good isn't it!

I think that the men pulling the ropes might be them bringing the cannons ashore. I think that Torranaga sent the Erasmus to Osaka to pre-position the guns for the siege of Osaka Castle.

I mainly wonder how toranaga can get blackthorne his side after that

I read the book when it came out pre Shogun 1980s miniseries- Shogun 2024 is top notch!! Orson Welles narrated the first miniseries- Hiroyuki Sanada is one talented actor with his steely eyes saying everything while speaking nothing- Lord Toranaga Anna Sawai is also a stand out- if this series doesn’t win multiple awards- then I’m done

I understand that there are production cost but so are additional revenue opportunities with each episode. I feel that this series could have easily gone through 2 seasons as there could have been additional details, history and context provided on why the various groups are at odds with each other. They left a lot to your imagination or for the viewer to surmise. I enjoyed it but would have like a lot more.

My predictions is Ishido is going to be drawn out of Osaka as planned the Christian lords of the council going to hesitate and wait until a winning side is clear, Toranaga half brother is going to switch side almost instantly because he know his brother well and is smart enough to see drawing ishido out is part of the plan. The last lord in yellow maybe he would also hesitate he a complete unknown being the replace ment for the lord killed in episode 7?

The leper Daimyo's Mon looks like that one the Shimazu clan, which if I'm not mistaken, started the battle on the side of Ishida Mitsunari (Ishido) but stayed still until they turned against him.

If they go by the Book, then the Battle is presented in an subtle Way, because, like you said, the Book and this Series is not about Saughter in Detail, but about the Play of Power is done. And to that adds, that the burning/destroying of the Erasmus is surely to keep the Anjin on the Isle, but much more as Gift to the christian Warlords to get their Alegiance in the coming Battles.

Yabushige has this weird fascination with what people do or say or what they look like as they're dying. Its going to be interesting how that's going to go when he's facing his own death by seppuku.

The blad e Blackthorn brandishes is much longer than a seppuku blade. like twice. It was just one of the ones he was given

Episode 9 I was in tears 😢 Mariko will miss you. Finale 😮‍💨😮‍💨🤒 next week 😢 It's been great watching this series 👏👏👏

Actually, the more I think about it, there could be a second season. There isn’t a book to base it on, but there is history. I’m sure the writers could find some interesting stories to tell about the start of Toranga’s shogunate and the beginning of the Edo period.

They could also showcase it this way- years later, Toranaga now the ultimate lord recaps the war in visions. Only the main moments.

will there a an easter egg for young miyamoto musashi? musashi joined the sekigahara battle

I for one am happy they didn’t just repeat the 1980 version. I like they shifted the point of view to the Japanese from Blackthorn. In 1980 most Americans had little knowledge of Japan, its people, culture and history. Today, more Americans know about Japan, so it doesn’t have to explain as much and can focus on the Japanese characters and the political machinations, which I find much more interesting than the fish out of water story of the 1980 version, which totally left out the Japanese viewpoint.
