Shōgun Episode 10 brought a lot of deep and powerful callback references to the finale's story.

Shōgun delivered a powerful finale with Episode 10, once again subverting viewer expectations with a story that demonstrated the power and purpose that one life has – as well as the dark void of grief that binds people who have all lost someone they love.

That same question is what Yabu asked about Tornaga in Episode 1 when telling his nephew Omi that he would not tell Toranaga about Blackthorne's ship arriving, as Toranaga was going to be killed by the Council of Regents. That arrogance came back to bite Yabushige in the butt, and Toranaga was extra petty for sending him off that way.

prevnext Hearing Rocks In Shōgun Episodes 4 and 5 Blackthorne got a crash course in Japanese culture. While trying to settle in Ajiro, Blackthrone learned the importance of his house's Zen garden, by way of elderly gardener Uejirou, and Mariko, who explains the philosophy of spiritual tuning by talking about hearing rocks.

After Mariko's death, the Taikō's heir is perplexed about the poem, urging Ochiba to finish it. The lines from Mariko clearly speaks to their shared childhood of trauma and disgrace; when Ochiba adds"thankfully, the wind," it's a metaphor that indicates how Mariko has made Ochiba realize that their"fall" could become an opportunity for change.
