3d printed start gate

After a season of watching Toranaga use subterfuge and trickery to out-maneuver his enemies, the slow reveal of Crimson Sky being Mariko herself was a thing to behold.

One woman as opposed to an army.

One request - return my lord's wives and newborn son - presented to a man who knows that refusal or acquiescence would expose and destroy the lie that's keeping him in power.

One death to galvanise the people against the newly revealed tyrant, who would all but throw open the gates of Osaka and welcome their liberator...their Shogun.

Goddamn.

I cannot get over how Buntaro performing a tea service, what would generally be considered as a thoughtful gift, to show Mariko that he loved or cared for her completely missed the mark vs. Blackthorne stepping up as Mariko’s second, ready to participate in her seppuku ritual after asking her to live for him, loving her so much that he’d defy his own logic, loving her enough to accept that if life and death are the same, both able to have meaning in the act of living and dying, and she wouldn’t live for him, then he would at least be a part of her death, his life would have meaning to her death and they would then always be connected - the way Buntaro’s act of service is a show while Blackthorne’s act of service is a sacrifice for him and her I ACHE 😭😭😭

"Then would you consider living for me?"

Wow, Shōgun giveth (spooning) and Shōgun taketh away (fiery explosion).
