What's great about Mariko and the finale is, you don't realise she's actually the star of the show until she dies and when she's not in it, you truly miss her character.

I’ll put this here too because it needs to be recognized. Anna Sawais portrayal of Mariko is not only the best acting I have seen all year, it’s some of the best acting I have ever seen. Building on one of the most incredible, strong and complex characters ever put to paper, the show was able to elevate Mariko into new dimensions; The writers gave Mariko focus and stoicism, and Sawai gave her heart and raw, unbridled power. Not many people can believably play a one-person army able to topple an empire. What a lightning storm of a performance she gives in episode 9 and all throughout this series. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of an Emmy.

I do the same as you. I comment everywhere because it truly needs to be recognized that something important happened when Anna's path and Mariko's path crossed each other. It was a God-blessed moment in filmmaking. I can't really recall when I felt the same way before about an actor's performance. When I saw Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds, perhaps that was when I was so impressed, and Christoph's portrayal then deserved an Oscar.

@markmywords3817Ай бұрын
Mariko had a hard life, but in retrospect, Buntaro had a hard life too as a side effect. Buntaro seemed to have really loved Mariko but has been acting out of spite after years of ice cold treatment because she was duty bound... only for her emotions to falter for the Anjin. No wonder Buntaro was always looking like he was about to kill Blackthorne with his eyes 😂

Well done, Anna Sawai! Hope to see more of you soon. Things you might have missed in this episode: Mariko is wearing a crimson kimono when confronting Ishido. She humbles him by reminding about her long samurai lineage. He was born a peasant. When her samurai confronts Ishido´s guards, he cuts off the fingers of the first one with his first slash, turns to the second and after finishing him, faces the first one again finally killing him.

@NCAnglophileАй бұрын
This show is outstanding across the board; every performance is top notch. But Mariko has been the beating heart of this show and Anna Sawai's performance is nothing short of astonishing. To convey so much emotion with just her eyes or the set of her jaw, but then to have that payoff in Episode 9 where Mariko finally gets to let everything just pour out of her was immensely powerful to watch. I'm gutted that we won't see Mariko in the finale, but Ms. Sawai should be soaring with satisfaction at the work she has done. A+++!

I've loved the original Shogun, and I had a HUGE crush on Yoko Shimada for the longest. That being said, Anna Sawai did a much better job of playing Mariko. They allowed her to really explore the depths of the character in a way that probably wasn't feasible in the original series. She knocked it out of the park.

Kashigi Yabushige definitely my favorite character in Shogun. Most colorful of them all. Lot more layers to him as well. He's that dude that is doing everything to stay alive. By no means a saint and constantly switching alliances and such but deep down I believe he hates the politics of it all and just wants to be free from it. Although he sides with Ishido when necessary, I believe his character also despises Ishido. That is my interpretation of him at least. Love this series and absolutely hate that it's ending. I've always had a secret love affair with Japanese culture, although I am a Mexican immigrant, my mother claims that she is part Japanese from her mothers side and if true that blood line although slight is in me as well. I can see it with old pictures of my uncles and even with my sister and I think its f*cking cool.
