Anna Sawai as Mariko in Shogun season 1 episode 9
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shogun star Anna Sawai explains how Lord Toranaga will react to Lady Mariko's shocking episode 9 fate. Sent by Lord Toranaga on an important mission to Osaka, Mariko in episode 9 finally comes face-to-face with Ishido and Lady Ochiba, revealing her true role in Toranaga’s intricate plan.
I don't know if he expects her to be living, actually, I really don't know. Maybe there's a part of him that was like, "If all goes bad, she may die." But, he's seen everything, he's gone through every scenario, and so I don't think it would surprise him too much. I think that, yeah, he'll continue his plan.
After Nagakado’s shocking episode 7 death, and Hiromatsu’s stunning act of seppuku in episode 8, it should perhaps come as no surprise that Mariko met her own fate in episode 9. As Sawai’s remarks indicate, it’s hard to say if Toranaga meant for Mariko to die, or if he was hoping she would somehow survive her showdown with Ishido and Ochiba.
