SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary One specific detail in Shōgun episode 9 "Crimson Sky" reaffirms just how tragic Lady Mariko's family backstory is. The penultimate episode of Shōgun featured a shocking Mariko twist that has set the stage for what should be an exceptional season finale.
Lady Mariko's Son Is The Only Person Who Doesn't Bow Before Her Seppuku Scene In Shogun He warned Mariko that she would lose him as a son if she went through with her plan Toda Ryûji tells Mariko that if she attempts to leave Osaka against Ishido's command and effectively disgrace herself, then she will no longer have him as a son.
Even after Ochiba sharply reminds Mariko of her obligations to her young son, Mariko sticks to her word and chooses to commit seppuku after a tense confrontation at the gates of Osaka leads to bloodshed and conflict. Blackthorne steps up to be Mariko's second during her seppuku to ensure that she will not face damnation by committing immortal sin through her Christian religion.
Lady Mariko had already lost her entire family after her father's great betrayal, meaning that her only direct family members were her husband Buntaro and her son Toda Ryûji. Mariko had recently humiliated Buntaro by telling him she would rather live and suffer than die by his side in episode 8 and had now disgraced herself in the eyes of her son, Toda Ryûji.
