There are a few bumps in the road in Shogun 1980. Bad wigs aside, this show doesn’t flesh out characters in the same way Jim and A.Ron were hoping for. Mariko, a fan favorite from Shogun 2024, is severely lacking. But where this show compensates is in the absolute bonkers directing.  “Shogun” and Japonophilia Send your feedback on the original series to shogun@baldmove.com.

It’s a slick episode of Shogun. Mariko, played by Anna Sawai, has been a stand out character since the pilot. In this episode she unleashes her full power and charges full steam ahead into battle.
