'That's a promise from the beginning.'
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shōgun star and producer Hiroyuki Sanada explains why his character Lord Yoshii Toranaga gives Usami Fuji her freedom in the final episode. Fuji, the granddaughter of Toranaga's trusted advisor Toda Hiromatsu , lost her husband and son in Shōgun's first episode. When Toranaga made John Blackthrone a hatamato, Toranaga commanded Fuji to become Blackthorne's consort.
He's always following the "promise". It was a contract, you know, just half a year. So, if it doesn't work, release. There was a plan from the beginning, and then it was maybe reported from someone, some spy, that Fuji and Anjin never become husband and wife, really. So, he knew what she was wanting. And then also, she lost her husband and son in episode 1. "That's enough sadness.
Toranaga is ambitious and conniving, a truth made more apparent than ever with what he reveals in the moments before the death of Kashigi Yabushige in the finale. Nevertheless, the Shōgun character is also a man of his word who keeps his promises and rewards those who serve him well. Honoring the promise he made to Fuji is a perfect example of this, as she upheld her end of the contract they made, and it is only fair that Toranga upholds his end of the contract as well.
