limited run, I walked away with mixed feelings. While there were some powerful moments in the series finale, it’s hard not to feel let down by what we didn’t get to see. It was already going to be a hard episode, given the fate of Mariko last week, but I thought we might make up for that with a final battle.
When he begs to know what comes next, Toranaga grimly replies: “Why tell a dead man the future?” I almost wish Yabushige had said: “Why not?”Of course much of the brilliance of this final scene between these two compelling characters comes down to the performances. This is the longest scene we’ve had with just Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano in it, two legends of Japanese cinema, and they pull it off so perfectly, out there on the cliffs by the sea.
He writes a death poem. It lacks the stirring beauty of Mariko’s poem, but seems a fitting outro for the scheming Lord of Izu:Blackthorne, meanwhile, seas only part way through Toranaga’s scheming. He doesn’t believe for a second that Christians burned his ship, but he comes to the conclusion that it was Mariko acting alone who arranged the deal with the Jesuits, rather than Toranaga pulling all the strings.
After all, the actual historical Battle of Sekigahara is quite incredible to read about, involving two armies with truly vast number—Tokugawa’s Eastern Army boasted 75,000 men, while Ishida’s Western Army dwarfed that number with 120,000 men. Its outcome resulted in a 200-year dynasty.
