Mariko isn’t just a character. She’s based from a real person named Hosokawa Gracia. Her blocking the C4 door actually happened and it was intentional from Gracia to make her sacrifice count. This destroyed the morale in Osaka’s camp greatly and made Christian lords who saw her as a heroic martyr defected to Tokugawa’s (Toranaga) side. She is one of the reasons that we even have Tokyo as a capital of Japan today. Without her sacrifice, Japan today would have turned out differently that it became unrecognizable.
😎👍❕️ Where do y'all think Mariko,'s ',explosive ' death will rank on Yabu',shigi's death list? Greater than or less than boiled alive or eaten by dogs?
Terrible ending for her and logic is that a tiny maybe 100 pound Japanese woman isn't going to stop an explosion of that kind. Apparently they didn't think logically. Could of went out another way. Her little body would have zero significance on an explosion like that. It would have killed everyone no matter what. 👍 Technically if he loved her so much. He should have went out with her or stood in front of the door himself. Let's keep it real
