An armed Ishido looking angry while Toranaga is looking at the lake in Shogun
Summary Shōgun star Takehiro Hira addresses his return as the villainous Ishido. Hira had a steadily increasing presence in the first installment of the acclaimed FX series, positioned as the opposition to Hiroyuki Sanada's Toranaga. Although the adaptation of James Clavell's novel seems to put the two characters on a collision course, Shōgun season 1 ended with the implication that Toranaga and Ishido never meet on the battlefield.
Well, if the drama goes on with the time sequence as they did in season one, my character Ishido Kazunari would be executed after the Battle of Sekigahara. Takehiro Hira's Response Touches On Potential Hurdles Of More Shōgun The Show Will Have To Continue After Its Distinctive Conclusion. Close Shōgun season 2 does have a potential avenue due to how one of its most crucial scenes unfolds. Toranaga tells Yabushige how his battle with Ishido will unfold and how Ishido is essentially a dead man walking after losing the support of Ochiba .
The bigger question remains whether Shōgun should return for more seasons. It was explicitly set up as a limited series, which led FX to adjust after it shifted plans to produce more seasons following its critical and viewership success. As it stands, creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks and their team of writers are working on getting a second and third season of the popular historical saga off the ground.
