Blackthorne exclaims, revealing his ulterior motives for sailing to Japan.
Instead, Blackthorne got pulled into a different conflict he had no stock in.
Not at first, in any case.
But now he has no choice and is in the thick of areal-life Japanese civil warbetween feudal lords.
The Shogun is a military warlord who rules over a single territory.
In the present timeline of the series, Japan is ruled by the Council of Regents.
But it wouldnt be a satisfying series if the titular figure never came into power.
With only one episode left, that will have to come to pass.
The attempt to free the hostages from Lord Ishidos control came with casualtiesin Episode 9.
He still must combat Ishido, who hasaligned himself with the Heirs mother, Lady Ochiba.
As the trailer implies, Toranaga is not expected to survive this conflict.
Knowing Blackthorne, Marikos death will likely put a wedge even further between the two.
But there is no one else that the lord can turn to.
Yabushige has betrayed Toranaga and sided with Ishido in a night full of blood.
Only the most cunning of leaders would be able to rise above such challenges.
But according to history, that is perhaps what fans can expect when they turn into the final episode.
Whether this is with or without Blackthornes help remains to be seen.
Viewers can tune into Hulu to watch theseries finale ofShogunon Tuesday, April 23.
