SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Shōgun episode 10 changed the entire show in hindsight by revealing Lord Toranaga was planning to become shōgun after all. Despite having said several times that he did not want to become shōgun, Lord Toranaga secretly knew that this was the only for him to lead the country into the future he believed to be the right one.

The Anjin’s arrival in Japan brought instability to the Council of Regents, which directly helped Toranaga. Related Despite The Tone, Shogun’s Finale Brilliantly Featured The Show’s Funniest Scene Yabushige's final moments in Shōgun's finale still fit his character perfectly, capturing the lovable traits of an otherwise untrustworthy character. The Council needed all five members to make any decisions, meaning that sidelining Toranaga would bring a lot of instability.

The other lords were not gonna let Toranaga become shōgun and were going to wage war against him and the Heir. This war would have divided the country, and it would most likely have ended with the deaths of both Toranaga and the Heir. The reason why Toranaga sought to become shōgun was to lead the country into a period of peace, which is why he waited so long to make any significant moves.

By keeping Blackthorne away from his men long enough, Toranaga made sure the Anjin would not have a crew by the time he was allowed to leave Japan. Toranaga never intended for the Anjin to leave, yet he wanted him to offer Yabushige an alliance. Yabushige and Blackthorne were going to be responsible for moving the ship without Toranaga’s involvement, adding to the perception that the Lord of Kanto had given up.

1 Toranaga Had No Problem Using His Allies As Pawns Hiromatsu and Mariko had to die for Toranaga to win Close Toda Hiromatsu’s seppuku and Lady Mariko’s sacrifice were two major examples of how Toranaga had no problem using his allies as pawns. That is not to say Toranaga did not care about their lives or was not sad about their deaths, only that he was willing to make those sacrifices to achieve his goals.
