SHOGUN Episode 6 Ending Explained

I review, breakdown and explain Shogun episode 6 on FX. I discuss the story which is set in 1600 in Japan as John Blackthorne arrived there. I react to Mariko’s past and the act that her father committed, Lady Ochiba’s backstory and her relationship with The Taiko, Ishido being persuaded to turn on the council and Sugiuama by Ochiba No Kata, I answer what The Crimson Sky is and what is going to happen to Toranaga. I compare the story to the real events with Ieyasu Tokugawa and William Adams. I also give my theories and predictions on episode 7.

I absolutely loved the ending of this episode! Toranaga stole it at the start and at the end with his speeches. IT'S TIME FOR THE CRIMSON SKY!!! Woahhhh!💪

[ZoeHamm]

Love how they managed to have a whole ass tension brothel scene with no nudity or sex whatsoever. This show is so tasteful!!

[theloniousm]

My favorite scene had to be the bargaining meeting that Fuji and Mariko had with Lady Gin. Lady Gin dropped that Anjin and Mariko were never seen apart and Fujisama raised the tea cup to her mouth like she was eating popcorn and enjoying the drama.

[ssotkow]

Similar to Kiku's Willow World being more than a brothel of mere physical pleasures, the writers of Shogun take a similar approach in flirting the audience's journey to climax. Focusing not on the presence of action sequences, but the absence of them. The combination of tense yet slow-burn foreplay dialogues, consumes viewers/patrons into the willow world. To escape from our pain and boredom in real life.

I have to say, the acting in this show is superior.

Yabushige has been my favorite character so far. I actually love how hes stuck in war hes just trying to survive. Although hes cruel, hes a very interesting person

The burning of the birds: They killed PURPOSEFULY the messenger pigeons so that word of the hostage-taking would not be spread.

Famtastic breakdown and explanation of the episode. Every episode of this series is so subtle in the story telling. The acting is breath taking. There is no filler, no wasted scenes and not one miscast of the characters. The brothel scene was heartbreakingly beautiful when John touched Markio’s hand. Addicted to every episode. Looking forward to watching all your breakdowns.

One of the things I like about this version as opposed to the 1980 is it is less Blackthorne centric. He is just another soul swept up in the Tsunami trying to trying to stay afloat. The brothel scene was Zen out of body experience where you are like flouting with their thought, all done without swearing or nudity. This production truly is a Masterpiece.

I read the book. A gift from my father growing up. This show is pure love and respect for the source material. Majestic all round

[nont]

Toranaga’s presence managed to command the screen on the same tier as King Viserys in HOTD.

[sevraonic]

You're right, I didn't realize it but after toranaga revealed what Mariko's father's plan was, she immediately realized what was the reason why she's still alive and that is for her to continue on and do what she wants, whether it's with John or to finish the fight it'll all be disclosed soon enough. The similarities of the (silent) wars between Ochiba and Mariko, was so well thought out.v

[CatJabZ]

I really wasn't expecting much from the Shogun series but it has been so compelling. I also really enjoy your breakdowns with the history attached. Cheers!

[timbell]

Best show on T.V. imo ! and great job by BrainPilot explaining details and insights making it all the more enjoyable !

[chrisplatt]

Masterpiece every episode builds up before you know it It's over already

[controlfreak]

okay the shadow play involved in this episode with the storytelling is masterwork.

[TravelingThruLife]

Best epi yet. Loving how this version is giving more screen time to lady ochiba and developing and ramping up imperial court intrigue. 1980s version was lacking this. Excited for the 4 episodes!

[Lightingdragon]

The subtle emotions spilling from their faces is amazing

[charliedu]

ishido’s smirk was in agreement that he was nothing but a bureaucrat

[Timbo]

I can’t wait for a Mariko vs Ochiba showdown in an Osaka castle!,
