Hiroyuki Sanada in Episode 7 of Shogun
The Big Picture It is the end of an era for viewers of the captivating historical series, Shōgun. A final clip has been released for the show, which will conclude Tuesday, April 23. The highly accurate series based in feudal Japan is adapted from the James Clavell book of the same name. The tome was released in 1975 and opened the eyes of Western audiences to a different time.
“I was going to use you!” Blackthorne exclaims, revealing his ulterior motives for sailing to Japan. Like many Christians of the time, the Protestant English looked to take advantage of trade in Japan to combat their adversaries, the Catholic Portuguese. Instead, Blackthorne got pulled into a different conflict he had no stock in. Not at first, in any case. But now he has no choice and is in the thick of a real-life Japanese civil war between feudal lords.
As the trailer implies, Toranaga is not expected to survive this conflict. Knowing Blackthorne, Mariko’s death will likely put a wedge even further between the two. The English navigator was already on the fence regarding Toranaga and may put the end of his romance with Mariko at the feet of the lord. But there is no one else that the lord can turn to. Yubushige has betrayed Toranaga and sided with Ishido in a night full of blood.

We're talking about Blue Eye Samurai, which is set shortly after the events at the end of Shōgun.
