Extended Scene from Episode 9 | FX’s Shōgun | Hulu

this is the first show that I can remember that I don't want it to end. I'm literally gonna fight depression after this show ends. lol. Best show in years

Mariko: "We need to leave" Anjin: *practically already at the door, waiting for Mariko*

3:32 It's like Ochiba no Kata let the internal conflict show for just one second before returning to the mask. The subtle acting in this show is insane

Of course Anna is great but huge shoutout to Fumi Nikaido - her acting throughout has been superb and brought Ochiba no Kata to life with all her complexity 👏

Anjin is like "you don't need to tell me twice!"

The phrase "花は桜木、人は武士" (hana wa sakuragi, hito wa bushi) is a Japanese proverb that translates to "Among flowers, the cherry blossom; among men, the samurai." This expression emphasizes the ideal qualities associated with cherry blossoms and samurai. Cherry blossoms, or sakura, are revered for their beauty and their transient nature, blooming brilliantly and then swiftly falling away. This is seen as a metaphor for the ideal attributes of a samurai, who was expected to live with courage, honor, and an acute awareness of the ephemeral nature of life, ready to sacrifice himself at any moment for his lord and principles. The saying highlights the embodiment of beauty and brevity in flowers and the virtues of bravery and honor in people.

Mariko - as a poem master - can spit words with fire!!

Mariko was able to say goodbye to her best friend before she went. The bond between friends are very strong, I'm sure Ochiba was heartbroken upon learning of what happened.

hands down… the deepest writing i’ve seen on tv…. Mariko took it to the very end… literally fighting, all the time wanting to go out but choosing exactly what cause she was going out for… the volumes that speaks is so crazy to me… does a bow

Tamako Akechi, the real Mariko, refused to be taken hostage and committed suicide. final farewell poem "Flowers are beautiful because they know when to fall. Humans must be like that too. Now is the time to fall."

I await the extended version DVD/Blu-Ray box set, with commentary, behind the scenes, and all the bells and whistles of the Lord of the Rings Extended box sets. Please make it so! This is one of, if not the greatest, shows I have ever seen. Everyone outdid themselves. It puts every other production to shame. Writing, acting, set design, dialogue, historical accuracy, adaptation for the screen, everything. Hopefully it wins all the awards. It deserves it. Anna was stunning. I've seen it once streaming but I'll watch the entire thing again. Hopefully there is a really nice box set though!

I feel like I want extended version of everything here!!! I hope for a longer version ASAP!

This episode (Crimson Sky) is one of the best episodes of television in forever and was the masterpiece of the series. Mariko's powerful defiance of Ishido, her poetic and subtextual talk with Lady Ochiba (flowers are flowers), her defiant attempt to leave the castle, the powerful understanding between her and Blackthorne, when he steps forward to second her when she dares to commit seppuku, and her tragic death (let it come). It was a breath-taking performance by Anna Sawei; the more you revisit this episode, the more powerful her words and actions become. It was a tour de force and I will remember it for a very long time. One person truly can topple an army. Amazing

The script is touching audiences hearts. And the acting of the ladies in this scene is so real it made me feel the pain. The pain as if they suffer in their real life.

Extended? This is exactly what I saw, what did everyone else see?

Gobsmacked. The writing. The context. What is there to say in regards of the most sophisticated performance? Unforgettable.

In other words, Ochiba: Don't die, live Mariko: Please understand

Incredible scene, beautifully written, so much going on here ... just WOW.

Anjin chucked them deuces way, wayyyyyyyyyy in advance of Mariko going “let’s bounce”. 😆

The line about flowers is like a cherry on top of an ice cream. Chef's kiss
