ninth and penultimate episode was a punch to the gut. The episode focused heavily on Mariko and was one of mounting tension and dread, as the Anjin’s translator carried out Lord Toranaga ’s plan to disrupt Osaka and the ruling regent, Lord Ishido .
Yabushige has gone to surrender and offer his services as well as the Anjin, but is initially rebuffed by Ishido. Later, however, after Mariko’s brave gambit, Ishido relents, realizing that he can use the feckless Lord of Izu to his advantage. This treachery has tragic consequences.Mariko’s ploy is to demand she be let out of the city to bring Kiri no Kata back to Toranaga in Edo. Ishido bristles at her demands but she does not back down.
“It is impossible to fight past all these men!” she cries, and perhaps there is a double-meaning in it. But since they will not let her pass and she cannot carry out her lord’s orders, she says she has no choice but to kill herself that night. Since suicide is a mortal sin, she asks Lord Kiyama to be her second.
