SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary A Shogun co-creator discusses episode 8’s shocking seppuku scene and whether Hiromatsu knew Toranaga’s secret plan. Seemingly intent on surrendering to Ishido in the wake of episode 7’s stunning developments, Toranaga in episode 8 gathers his generals together to sign their names and thereby, presumably, pledge to die beside him.

I think there are many layers to look at this scene. Having really worked very closely with the two actors at the center of it and the director of this, I can speak to what was played.

Because of that, there's a great moment in the scene between Toranaga and Hiromatsu where Toranaga turns to Hiromatsu in shock because he did not intend for Hiromatsu to do this. And I don't think Hiromatsu knew that Toranaga wanted these generals to commit seppuku in order to show his enemies that he had surrendered and truly given up and that he has no hope, right. But in order for that narrative to be perfect, his most treasured general really has to do it.
