What To Expect In Shogun Episode 10 After Mariko’s Death In Previous Episode?
The episode’s title, “A Dream of a Dream,” is poetic, hinting at thinking about what could be rather than what is – a reality that is almost inescapable and perhaps brutal.
In the wake of Mariko’s tragic death in episode 9, Blackthorne finally considers the true nature of Toranaga’s plan.
Blackthorne has been through the wringer after agreeing to behead Mariko and finally getting another night of action with her.
Moreover, her death will likely bring him a rollercoaster of emotions and decisions in this episode.
In the book, Blackthorne’s ship is burned, leaving him stranded in Japan. This dramatic event will occur in the season finale.
Additionally, Father Alvito is seen alongside Blackthrone in the trailer, indicating he may have switched allegiances.
According to the book, it was Toranaga’s plan all along to become Shogun. Everything he has done has been a calculated move to seize power.
In the finale, he will depose Ishido in the Battle of Sekigahara due to their rivalry.
Further, his manipulation and sacrifice of loved ones and trusted advisors make him a brilliant yet morally complex character.
Similarly, Yabu’s treachery will be exposed in the finale, and Toranaga will order him to commit seppuku.
Before doing so, Yabu will show his respect towards Blackthorne and gift his sword.
