I wouldn't survive in the Shogun world. Everybody takes things too seriously. I'd probably tell a joke or do something goofy/stupid at the wrong time and one of the lords would have someone kill me for it 😭😂

I think the key to surviving in the Shōgun world is to not be one of the people fancy enough to carry around a sword. Because it's those people who are constantly running around committing seppuku or threatening to commit seppuku, whereas the peasants and servants are out there just living their best ritual suicide-free lives. It would probably help not to be a crucifix-wearing Christian either, as they're in danger of having their heads chopped off just for praying in front of some random shipwrecked European who's been imprisoned by their local lord.

So, yeah, Anon: I think if you can avoid carrying a sword or wearing a crucifix, your odds should be pretty good.

For all its profound tragedy, there was something magnificent in Mariko's death because it was an act she chose for herself.

Not only did it serve a purpose — by dying, she lays bare the tyrannical nature of Ishido's regency and furthers Toranaga's broader plan — but it was a fulfillment of the duty she believed she owed her father and her disgraced family name.

For years, she has asked for permission to die — from her husband, from Toranaga — and been denied. Even her foreign lover protests against the sacrificial choice she wants to make, begging her to remain alive if only for him.

In the end, she does not ask permission. She reclaims herself — Akechi Mariko — and chooses her fate, one that belongs to her alone.
