SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Lady Mariko’s death in Shōgun episode 9 will help Lord Toranaga’s Crimson Sky plan against Ishido as the FX show sets the stage for an intense finale. Following an episode entirely dedicated to her, Mariko sacrifices herself in one of the saddest scenes on the show so far.
Lady Mariko Fulfilled Lord Toranaga's "Crimson Sky" Plan In Shōgun Episode 9 Lady Mariko’s sacrifice means she concluded her mission Despite her tragic death, Lady Mariko completed the mission Lord Toranaga assigned her to. Toranaga planned to weaken Ishido and Ochiba by disrupting the stability they had at the Osaka Castle. By sending Mariko to Osaka ahead of him, Toranaga put Ishido in check.
By refusing to stay at the castle and evoking her family name, Lady Mariko gave Ishido an ultimatum and showed the other lords and ladies that they could also speak up. For example, as soon as Ishido permits Mariko to leave, Kiri-no-taka asks if she will be granted safe passage as well. Mariko’s speech against Ishido was enough to cause turmoil at the castle, which was her plan since the beginning.
