SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shōgun’s finale subverted expectations and delivered something very different from what many thought would happen. Based on the James Clavell novel of the same name, FX’s Shōgun was the second adaptation of the homonymous book following the 1980 Shōgun miniseries.
Toranaga’s Crimson Sky announcement further indicated that there would be a war in Shōgun’s final episodes. Even though Toranaga wanted to avoid bloodshed and played some smart political games, it seemed like the only possible conclusion to the story was a battle between his forces and Ishido’s. Surprisingly, Shōgun’s finale made Lord Toranaga’s victory clear without showing any battles.
Without the support of the heir’s mother, Ishido’s cause had no rightful justification. As a result, not only did Ishido lose many of his allies, but he was also not able to any more daimyos into his banner. Ishido was informed of Ochiba-no-kata’s decision just as the battle against Toranaga was about to start, a moment that sealed his fate and made it clear that he had lost.

Shōgun Season Finale: No Second Season, but There's a Spiritual SequelAs Shōgun approaches the end of its season, its audience will no doubt be eager for more. Unfortunately, there won't be — the series likely won't have a second season, as it was originally conceived as a miniseries. If you are looking for more epic stories set in feudal Japan, however, there's plenty to find on streaming, including a particular animated series by Netflix that feels like it was made to be Shōgun's spiritual sequel. We're talking about Blue Eye Samurai, which is set shortly after the events at the end of Shōgun. Driven by a dream of revenge against those who made her an outcast in Edo-period Japan, a young warrior cuts a bloody path toward her destiny.
