SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Lady Mariko dies at the end of Shōgun episode 9 in what was by far the saddest and most tragic chapter of the show so far, setting up a high-stakes series finale. Lord Toranaga’s mission to Lady Mariko, which was teased in Shōgun episode 8, was to go to Osaka and essentially make herself into a prisoner.
Lady Mariko’s death in Shōgun episode 9 is fairly similar to what happened in the 1980 Shōgun miniseries as well as the original novel. Who Ordered The Attack On The Osaka Castle In Shōgun Episode 9 Yabushige allowed assassins to enter the castle The attack on the Osaka castle happened on the same night in which Lady Mariko and the other hostages were allowed to leave and return to their homes. As perceived by Mariko as soon as the shinobis appeared, this attack was happening on Ishido's orders. Ishido would never let Mariko leave the castle and rejoin Lord Toranaga in Edo, which is why he orchestrated the attack.

This is why Ishido pretended to grant Mariko’s safe passage when in reality, he was planning on having her killed that same night.
