Summary

Sent by Lord Toranaga on an authoritative mission to Osaka , Mariko in episode 9 last do case - to - typeface with Ishido and Lady Ochiba , revealing her true purpose in Toranaga ’s intricate architectural plan .

Did Toranaga Mean For Mariko To Die?
& Why That May Not Matter
Toranaga ’s programme conduct to the sudden deaths of his son Nagakado and his most patriotic general Hiromatsu . What is n’t clean is whether Toranaga signify for those deaths to happen . Nagakado ’s destruction indeed seemed to have been purely inadvertent , whileHiromatsu ’s seppukusacrifice could have been something that was not intend , yet nonetheless answer Toranaga ’s function . In any guinea pig , Toranaga react to both deaths in an impassive fashion , continuing to press on with his planin spite of whatever grief he may have see .
After Nagakado ’s shocking episode 7 last , and Hiromatsu ’s sensational number of harakiri in episode 8 , it should perhaps come as no surprise that Mariko conform to her own circumstances in episode 9 . As Sawai ’s remark indicate , it ’s hard to say if Toranaga meant for Mariko to croak , or if he was hoping she would somehow survive her showdown with Ishido and Ochiba .
Shogunis available to look out on FX and Hulu .

It ’s yet to be see what Toranaga ’s next move will be , buthe is unconvincing to show any outward heartache over Mariko ’s death , given how he took the deaths of Nagakado and Hiromatsu . It ’s likely Toranaga already has his next move planned , and will plunge ahead into theShogunendgame he ’s long been steer toward .
