Shogun Episode 9 Recap
Yabushige, Blackthorne, and Mariko arrive in Osaka to seek out that nobody is allowed to go away the palace with out express permission. Even the facility of the Portuguese is not sufficient to maintain Kiyama (Hiromoto Ida) and Ohno’s (Takeshi Kurokawa) households protected. They are actually all compelled to reside within the palace to be able to guarantee their compliance with Ishido and Ochiba’s (Fumi Mikado) plan.
Yabushige and Blackthorne are required to have an viewers with Ishido and Ochiba the morning after their arrival, throughout which Yabushige tries to supply Blackthorne as a present to Ishido in an effort to save lots of each of them from sure demise.

Now that she has compelled Ishido and Ochiba’s palms, they now must both let her undergo with the ritual sacrifice, admitting that everybody in Osaka is being held their in opposition to their will or forbid her to undergo with it and let her depart, giving up what little energy they maintain over these whose family members are being held within the palace.
