In my own weird way of thinking, I felt that if John had pushed Fugi to be with him, that she might have considered it. Terrible to see Mariko go. It was the most emotional scene, after Fuji's seppuku.

I know what you mean, after all he convince her to throw away the ashes of her son and husband when at first she was dead serious to commit seppuku once she was done serving Toronaga, Mariko had to go she had more conviction to die than anyone else on the series since she talk to Fuji about her husband recent death, good series but episode 10 eeeehhhh idk still not what I expected but its all good

Sounds brutal :D

I have to skip your recap so I won't know what happened. I plan to watch it later 😅
