The Big Picture John Blackthorne has been teetering on the edge of a knife since arriving in Japan, but in Episode 7 of Shōgun, his situation has become much more precarious. Hulu released a sneak peek into what the sailor has gotten himself into after a seemingly innocuous conversation – if it can be called that. Blackthorne struggles to communicate with the people of Japan without the help of his interpreter — arguably the show's best character — Mariko .
Yabushige often finds delight in tormenting others, but it is all in jest up to a certain point. After proving that Blackthorne can’t fight with his sword, he is surprised when Mariko’s husband, Buntaro , intervenes. While Blackthorne lies helpless on his back, Buntaro threatens him with his blade. What starts as simple fun at Blackthorne’s expense has the potential to turn deadly once Buntaro is involved. Watch the clip below.
Toranaga is reluctant to let this occur since Blackthorne brings knowledge of warfare previously unknown in Japan. But for Buntaro, it is personal. While Yabushige takes pleasure in batting Blackthorne around and even torturing his men, he has no emotional stake in what happens to the navigator. With only four episodes left, there is still a lot of ground to cover. Mariko clearly still harbors amorous feelings for Blackthorne and there is an entire war to fight.
