How do you feel when you wake from a dream? Excited? Confused? Angry? It probably depends on the dream and your interpretation of it. As you might expect, this particular dream of a finale is likely to be divisive.
It’s a slick episode of Shogun. Mariko, played by Anna Sawai, has been a stand out character since the pilot. In this episode she unleashes her full power and charges full steam ahead into battle. Yabushige is just as psychotic and humorous as before. Would he make a last minute “conversion” to save his own skin? It might be the laugh Jim and A.Ron need after this episode.
In this episode of Shogun, Jim and A.Ron clock the character changes. Toranaga is at the beginning of something great. Yabushige is ranking deaths. Mariko has a wicked kill. Blackthorne beats up his fellow sailors. There is change on the horizon for this world.
Shogun just can’t miss. This episode recontextualizes some of the death-oriented attitudes of previous episodes. Jim and A.Ron, self-described aging prostitutes, are tackling this episode with all the fervor of someone preparing for battle. With ice cold lines, tragic backstories, and surprises bursting through the wall, this episode will have you on the edge of your seat.
In this episode of Shogun, we get a deeper look into the characters of Lady Ochiba and Mariko. Thought you’d have a chance to catch your breath, not a chance! The Iron Fist unleashes, Mariko and Blackthorne’s relationship deepens, and Toranaga’s hearts are still hidden.
