i dont understand why she thought Buntaro's family was lowly. His father is literally Toranaga's right hand man, and he's a very skilled and respected warrior who is quite useful, unlike his dead brother(Fuji's father)
@@fistan5447because Lady Mariko father Akechi was Daimyo(it’s like Duke), he was the same rank as Toranaga, Toda family is much lower ranked family. By getting into this marriage, Mariko was cut away from high political life, and couldn’t influence on it. You see Japanese structure of feudalism is a little bit different. The oldest dynasty in the world is Japanese dynasty since 660 ac to these days. Because of the polygamy and concubines there were to many princes, so to get rid of them for economical reasons, so extra princes were stripped of their monarchical statuses and got new surname Minamoto(Minowara in the show) or Taira and they became samurai(serving soldiers, generals). In 10’s century, Emperor’s weren’t able to control country, so Minanoto Daimyos started war between each other, and the winner Minamoto-no Yoritomo was given by Emperor old title Shogun, which in past meant just General leading army, but in Yoritomo’s hands title became more like Prime Minister, and he started to hold government and created first Shogunate dynasty . Emperor’s role became just ceremonial. So since title Shogun became Minamoto dynasty privilege, others couldn’t get that title. After centuries Minowara and Taira grew into big clans with different families. So Lady Ochiba’s father Kuroda(in real life Oda Nobunaga from Taira clan) disbanded at that time the second second Shogunate Dynasty, which was weak and started uniting Japan again and almost succeeded, his vassals were Toranaga, Taiko, Jensai(Mariko’s father) but was betrayed by Akechi Jensai who forced him to commit seppuku, rushed to the Emperor, and demanded Shogun title, but Taiko got to him and killed him, and became a new leader, Toranaga had to became his vassal. But Taiko was low born and Yoshii Toranaga was from Minowara clan(Minamoto) and always was a treat to him.
@@4rct1c9Ic3m4n I am reading the novel Toranaga was thinking that he would have to kill Buntaro very quickly if he found proof that Blackthorne and Mariko were having an affair because they are more important to him than Buntaro is
Mariko wants Buntaro to kill her, but she doesn't want to be in any type of union with him. She doesn't want to unite with him in death. She wants to die and be free of him.
She's not lying. She would gladly let him kill her if it means she doesn't have to be married to him anymore. She says it numerous times that her father chose her husband poorly and that Bontaru is not ambitious enough to give her the life she wants. And to be clear, Bontaru ASKS her to die with him he DOES NOT COMMAND HER. He gave her the CHOICE because despite how cold and distant she is to him, he genuinely does love her and wants their marriage to work. Toranaga later states that yes, it was a bad marriage but a necessary one because Mariko's father chose Bontaru not out of status or personal merit, but because he was a soldier and could keep her safe but was also far enough from their home where she would not be prosecuted/killed for her family's eventual betrayal.

AAAAH YOU HAVE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD
She lied about her life belongs to her husband, when Buntaro asked her to commit seppuku with him she refused.
Well Toranaga never would have allowed Buntaro to chop her head off as he had grand plans for her
so he lied as well

Just sad that Fuji will die in the next episode after saving Blackthorne. Then Blackthorne will fire back with cannons at Saeki's troops.
Say what? Where you get that info from?
