I like how the character design are so similar to the historical characters they are inspired and based on. [Shogun 2024]

Anna Sawai as Toda Mariko (Hosokawa Gracia, the daughter of Akechi Mitsuhide, the man who betrayed Oda Nobunaga.)

In the final trailer, she said, "a great injustice stole everything from me." is probably of what happened after her father kills Oda.

Akechi could no longer tolerate Oda's tyrannical rule and overthrow him. Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Oda's successor) hunts down Akechi and his entire supporters, army and family, to kill them all.

Takehiro Hira as Ishido Kazunari (Ishida Mitsunari, the loyal retainer of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, that opposes Tokugawa Ieyasu (Hiroyuki Sanada as Lord Yoshii Toranaga), leading to Sekigahara.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi late dies of old age and leaves his son, Hideyori, under the care of Ishida Mitsunari/Ishido Kazunari.

So far it looks pretty good, definitely better than Netflix's Age of Samurai, where the characters look nothing like the historical ones.

Looking forward to watching it!
