Mariko (Anna Sawai) standing in the Council of Regents room and looking ahead to the right in Shogun
The Big Picture The adaptation of James Clavell’s historical book, Shōgun, has made a name for itself as a work of strict authenticity. Only in one scene did the series on Hulu divert from the source material, according to TV Guide. Episode 9 of the historical saga grapples with the harrowing concept of seppuku — a form of ritual suicide — as it affects one of Shōgun’s primary characters, Lady Mariko .
"Even though doesn't agree with her Catholicism, even though he traveled all the way around the world to fight against this church, for her sake, he's willing to believe in her faith system. So he will stand behind her and make it so that it's not suicide, and she could still go to heaven." Blackthorne Undergoes Massive Character Development In 'Shōgun' Close As with any series, the mark of character development is through change. When Blackthorne first lands on the shores of Japan, his only interest is waging war against the Portuguese. And though he still holds true to that prospect, his relationship with Mariko changes him intrinsically. He learns to empathize with cultures outside his own, even if he doesn’t understand them 100% of the time.
