How Shōgun‘s Depiction of Seppuku Compares to Real History
Time, Tuesday - 04/16/2024 - 01:00 AM

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] In the run-up to the penultimate episode, we saw Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada) lose the trust of a number of allies, including Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis) and Yabu (Tadanobu Asano), by feigning as though he truly meant to surrender to Ishido (Takehiro Hira) in Osaka.
