"She was with him forever, and he knew he would love her in the good times and in the tragic times, even in the winter of his life. She was always on the edge of his dreams." - SHŌGUN by James Clavell

Just a quick drawing of Mariko-sama facing Ishido proudly and taking over the spot of best character of this series while I wait anxiously for the next and last episode 😋

"I am no peasant to be trodden on. I am daughter of the great Lord Akeshi Jinsai. My line has been samurai for a thousand years, and I will never be captive, or hostage, or confined. I am free to go as I please..."

The fact that Blackthorne turned out to be a total red herring may be my favorite way that Shōgun subverted expectations.

Because the show followed his journey, we assumed he would have some greater importance as part of Toranaga's eventual victory. Maybe he would have come to the rescue, heroically using his ship and the guns to attack Osaka castle, giving him prime of place as an ally and as a vital part of Toranaga's plan.

In the end, though, Toranaga had Blackthorne's ship destroyed — and was prepared to destroy any others he might build. Blackthorne himself turned out to be a funny foreign distraction, unimportant to the cause beyond just making headaches for Toranaga's enemies, kept around simply because he made Toranaga laugh.

Toranaga wanted to be shōgun all along? Yeah, yeah, I could have told you that.

Toranaga: I kept Anjin alive for shits and giggles, no more, no less.

Well damn, I did not see that plot twist coming.
