SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shōgun star Anna Sawai breaks down the emotional scenes between her character Toda Mariko and John Blackthrone in episode 9. The two characters have had a complex relationship throughout the series as they navigate their feelings for one another while fulfilling their respective duties.
I think that she feels devastation and shock when Kiyama is not there to second her, because that means that she will die an unloyal Catholic. But by having Blackthorne step up, she is able to still be faithful to her religion, and also be a loyal samurai dying for her Lord.
How Shōgun Earns Its Most Romantic Moment In Episode 9 Despite The Scene Being One Of The Show's Darkest Sawai's breakdown articulates the power of this shared moment between Mariko and Blackthorne, and that the most romantic moment in the series is not a scene of physical intimacy. Blackthorne volunteering to kill Mariko, so she doesn't have to take her own life and thereby commit a mortal sin against her Christian faith, is undeniably dark.
