Toranaga and Blackthorne turn toward a new life—and a new world.
of a historical epic set in feudal Japan, aired its final episode Tuesday. By the end of the saga—a fictionalized tale loosely based on the birth of the Tokugawa shogunate, adapted from—the Englishman John Blackthorne has not found the deliverance he seeks. Instead, our plucky rogue is permanently marooned on the shores of Japan, in peonage to the panoptic dominion of Lord Yoshii Toranaga .
Let’s talk about Toranaga’s Keyser Söze moment, where he fully reveals his ambition and all of his puppet strings. It’s a scene where you realize that Toranaga is, in fact, subject to the typical human faults of greed and power—that he isn’t levitating above it all. And suddenly, as a viewer, I liked him less. Is that how Toranaga is ultimately left in the book? Or did you feel the need to amp up his villainy at all?It’s identical to how he’s portrayed in the book. That’s so amazing to me.
