Shōgun star Tadanobu Asano explains why his character, Yabushige, chooses to remain loyal to Lord Toranaga in episode 8 of the critically-acclaimed FX series. Asano offers insight into Yabushige's decision in a recent interview with Screen Rant.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Shōgun star Tadanobu Asano explains why his character, Yabushige , chooses to remain loyal to Lord Toranaga in episode 8 . Premiering on Hulu in February, the critically-acclaimed FX series adapts James Clavell's Shōgun novel from 1975, chronicling a struggle for power in feudal Japan and how a shipwrecked English sailor becomes entwined with the key figures involved.

"I think Yabushige is the type of character, he's always thinking, what would be an interesting death to me? What would be most interesting? I think towards episode eight, he's decided that actually, dying through my allegiance to Toranaga, that would probably be the most interesting. For him, it's like, with whom do I die? How do I die? He wonders about these things."

While Yabushige has remained alive thus far, his interest in death is certainly setting up the character's fate in the remaining two episodes. It seems very likely that Yabushige will finally end up experiencing death for himself, though the exact manner in which this will occur remains a mystery. With Toranaga having fully committed himself to the Crimson Sky plan and the overthrow of Osaka, Shōgun's final two episodes are poised to be particularly violent.
