Honestly hope Ishido and the other regents for that matter get slaughtered. Bunch of assholes
I hear you, Anon. And it's not an improbable outcome. I mean, considering all the time we've spent with the Toranaga Crew, I suspect that the show will not end with Ishido crowned in victory, getting a ticker tape parade. (And even though Shōgun is fictional, the history it's based on can also give us a hint of what's to come!)
If I had to rank the biggest asshole/most deserving of slaughter, though, Ishido wouldn't end up on top, surprisingly!
5) Ito — The man just wants to be a star of the Noh theater! How was he to know accepting the offer of a seat on the council would mean having to neglect his art for politics (and pesky little things like plotting kidnappings and ninja attacks)?
4) Ohno — Having leprosy means never having to say you're sorry.
3) Kiyama — Terrible at assassinating heretic barbarians and also terrible at insulting them ("pirate"? that's really the worst you could do?). Also, he left my girl Mariko out to dry even though he promised to be her second; did he actually think she was going to let her son marry into his family after ghosting her like that?
2) Ishido — Continues to fail upwards after he gets Ochiba to agree to marry him. He's a dead-eyed bureaucrat who's come to believe he's a strategic genius, like the manger of your local post office deciding to start a war with the CEO of FedEx.
1) Saeki Nobutatsu — Love your hats, but you're officially the worst. Double-crosses Toranaga, fucks Kiku perfunctorily, dismisses Ochiba when she's trying to give the regents actual good (if scary) advice about how to deal with Mariko. Let him burn.
Sakurai Sho marriage announcement on New Year's eve 2021!?
2020/7/26 21:06 (JST)
The area around Arashi, which will cease activity within 2020, is busy.
When a concert at the New National Stadium, which was postponed in May due to the new coronavirus, was pushed for October, it was reported in some weekly magazines. There have been numerous reports speculating on Last Year's activities.
"This year we were planning to have a lot of Arashi concerts and events, such as the last tour of 1 million people. However, due to the influence of the new coronavirus, it was canceled or virtually postponed indefinitely. That said, the leader Ohno Satoshi is against it, that Arashi will finish activities as it is." (Weekly journalist)
"In November 2019, Ninomiya Kazunari announced that he would marry a former free announcer Ako [Ito Ayako], who had been dating for some time.
They pursued marriage for a long time even the fans riot “It was Ninomiya and Ako who were staring at the countdown, but neglecting the office's intention to endure Arashi's activity at least, they secretly proceeded with the marriage story. Some fans have been treated as "war criminals" because Ninomiya might have caused Arashi's activities to be suspended," (said the weekly journalist)
The marriage of national idols is judged with severe eyes. On the other hand, some members are about to announce their marriage soon.
“Sakurai Sho in January was scooped on a trip to Vietnam with a former Miss Keio, who had known since he was a student. Afterwards, there was also Sakurai's bifurcation, but it seems that he managed to get rid of it by immediately clearing the relationship with the cheated partner.
The couple are half time living together, and they have already met each other parents in preparation for marriage.
It seems that Sakurai's marriage announcement is being made on New Year's eve. Johnny's favorite sports paper "Sponichi" will making an article in the form of an exclusive scoop. The new delivery of Arashi members seems to come from Sakurai's marriage report.” (Weekly magazine reporter)
Towards the announcement, Johnny's office seems to have a prudent media strategy to avoid slamming fans.
Also Johnny's scheme that leaked the marriage "scoop" of the ordinary brother!!!
“Information about Arashi is leaking from the office to medias like never before.
For example, it seems that there was a leak from the office in the article that Sakurai's younger brother got married.
Even though his younger brother is a commoner and he is close to the media, it's a funny story to write about the marriage of a non-talent ordinary person. In addition, in the article, the journalist interviewed bride’s father , president of a major department store. Johnny's side did the adjustment. This is also a media strategy to lightly jab fans to announce the marriage of Sakurai."
Seems all members are into the marriage countdown… The news of marriage to continue. [from livedoor]
Author note: Well... Two years before Ninomiya marry, magazines reported about it every week. Seems to be a real thing and the announcement of Sakurai is quite close... also other members? Wishing all the happiness to Sho. I picked the first image due the wedding ring, and the second one from infamous vietnam trip. By A-san
What's up with the other regents not having any power? Are they also prisoners in the castle? What's the point of them sitting around voting if they can't actually have their own opinion?
So officially they do have power, Anon, but Ishido has two of them in his pocket, so at best the vote — if they're even bothering to vote any more — would be three to two.
After Toranaga resigned, Ishido couldn't find a candidate to fill his seat that all the other regents would agree on. Ishido's political game, I think we can all agree, is weak, and it is Ochiba (upon her return to Osaka) who tells him to start playing hardball, which involves putting the other regents and their families into protective custody (i.e. making them hostages) with the fictional plot against the heir as the pretext. (Toranaga's family, it seems, was already being held as prisoners, following his escape.) My understanding is that Ochiba was also the one to recommend Lord Ito to the open seat, which he accepts after all the flattery she and Ishido offer him at the theater performance. Lord Sugiyama resists all these power plays — he clearly resents the influence that Ochiba now seems to yield — and refuses to participate in any voting or acts of governance. He and his family also try to flee Osaka, but they're all massacred by Ishido and his men.
Sugiyama's open seat then is offered to Toranaga's half-brother, Saeki Nobutatsu, in exchange, I assume, for having turned against Toranaga and capturing him in Ajiro.
By Episode 9, Ishido is firmly in control of the regents: two of them he's essentially elevated to the regency and the other two are held as hostages (along with their families) in Osaka. It's unclear whether or not Kiyama and Ohno would support Ishido regardless of the hostage situation, although Kiyama ultimately refuses his role as Mariko's second, presumably because Ishido had pressured him to do so. What is clear is that the true power in Osaka is held by Ochiba, even though she holds no other title beyond mother of the Heir. At the meeting of the regents, she's there with the other men, sitting slightly behind Ichido, but hers is the dominant voice.
At this point, it's even a question if Ichido is even truly in charge of anything. Through her manipulations and machinations (and maybe even the murder of her dead husband's wife), Ochiba has become the unofficial authority. Ichido is simply the sword she wields to enact her vengeance against Toranaga — and against Mariko, both for the actions of her father and her continued loyalty to Toranaga.
I might seriously think of buying the first two personally, as the others just aren’t my genre.
