It’s me MT and welcome back to the Heavy Spoilers show! Heavy Spoilers coming up for the Shogun series from FX because we’re about to get into it! So grab your favorite katana or blunderbuss and let’s cover this conflict! After an insanely stressful season of playing politics and slaying assassins, the final episode of the Shogun series of course ends with Yoshii Taranga on top…thanks to the brave and noble sacrifice of Mariko at the end of Episode 9. As much as many people wanted Mariko to walk away from that explosion unscathed, she took the full force of that impact…leaving John Blackthorn to grieve the loss of the only woman that he loved…well…the second woman that he loved. Dude has a whole wife and family back over in England that he totally ditched in favor of sailing the high seas…but luckily for John, the concept of paying child support wasn’t invented yet so you could just do shit like that. But anyways, as the true operative behind Yoshii Taranaga’s “Crimson Sky” offensive to take the capital, Mariko’s true role as a hostage inside of Osaka Castle was to do what Toranaga never could…change the heart of Lady Ochiba, Mariko’s childhood friend and POLITICAL ROLE HERE. Through Mariko’s sacrifice, Ochiba’s extremely hardened heart towards Toranaga would soften just enough for her to shift her influence from Ishido’s army to Toranga’s army…thus causing all of the other houses that were following Ishido to be forced to ally themselves under the banner of The Heir.

I love that Toranaga just openly admits he just genuinely likes hanging out with Blackthorne and that’s why he keeps him around. Dudes just doesn’t want his homie to leave😭

Can't deny Yabushige's actor performed masterfully and it was absolutely worthy of an Emmy award and Fuji’s comment on Blackthorn being the last hands to hold Mariko was a call back to episode 1, when Fuji’s son was to be killed for her husbands disrespect. When Fuji’s son was to be taken away, Mariko intervened and told them “Let her hands be the last to hold her son.”

A dream of a dream. Blackthorne never reached 'home' never died an old man in Tudor digs with grandchildren, with pale blue eyes. He was holding Mariko's crucifix. That was 'buried' at sea with Fuji's husband and son.

Yeah, when I saw Blackthorne looking at Toranaga in that last scene, I didn't need a translation to know that Blackthorne just accepted his fate and stayed in Japan for the unforeseeable future. Toranaga clearly wanted a BFF and went to extremes to keep Blackthorne nearby while Toranaga climbed his way to the top of the Shōgun... Crazy.

actually the historic john blackthorn, William Adams sent money to his family in england for the rest of his life, and when he died he split his estate between his english and Japanese families. So yes he did pay his child support.

Read Shogun back in the 70"s and loved it. Recently married, when I heard the 1980's TV miniseries of Shogun was going to be aired, my wife and I went out and bought, on credit, our first tiny portable color TV in order to see it in color. It was worth it! Now I own a huge color TV and am so glad to have lived long enough to see this remake of Shogun. I think that over time both versions will be honored as great cinematographic achievements, classics to be treasured.

The actor who played blackthorn, man the face expressions he makes, once he knew that Mariko is no longer by heside man, just makes a man tear up

Toranaga mastered the art of war. He appeared weak and feeble and feigned compliance, when he was ready for war and itching to fight. He prepared for the fight in such a manner that the war was already won before he ever drew a blade. He manoeuvred scorned nobles in such a manner that made their vengeance equal decisive blows that sowed division amongst his enemies. He played disloyal vassals so they thought they were playing him, but he was in control the entire time. He deliberately antagonised his son by revoking titles a duties in order to spurn on compulsive behaviour. This WAS deliberate. He confirmed as much we he thanked his dead son for buying him time. Despite the loses, everything was moved by the hand of Toranaga. Even down to his continued outright denial of wanting to be shogun, like his ancestors. Every move he made was to pacify his enemies into believe he was less of a threat than he actually was. Appear as if you are weak when you are strong. Acting sick. Arguing with his council. Watching his friend kill himself in protest. Hiding away from the public eye. Everything was done to portray a weak and feeble man who had given up and accepted defeat. Until Mariko exposed Ishida for what he was. A weak coward who used women and child as hostages to threaten the rest of the regents into compliance. Once that was done and the heirs mother sent word to Toranga, the act was no longer required. The war could be fought in earnest because he had already won. All the chips had already squarely fallen on his side of the table and his hand was matching set royal flush. the title of shogun was basically already his at this point... Masterful display...
