Taiko, her husband is infertile but wanted heir for his crown…even though she hasn’t said it, I’m assuming he made her sleep with many guys till she was pregnant to pass off as his own.

Another wild shot but I think Tornaga has something to do with that & that’s why she want him gone.

so this shyt might get wicked if the council fends for himself and put it out that there is no heir…. Every man for himself?? Thats a dangerous type of script to play with…. It would be dumb if it’s never told the kid is worthless and then it would be royal rumble to claim heir?

‘I thought he was doing it as a punishment to make her jealous for falling for the barbarian (no negs..lol)…. So he knew she would get jealous if she had to watch.. punishment for making her husband whip her ass after he snitched on her being so in love with the barbarian… lol


same way I interpreted...severing the bond between them

Also, did you notice near the end, Toranaga was reading a SECRET NOTE from someone, before he spoke to Mariko? I wonder who that was from :jbhmm: And why did he want Mariko with the Anjin in the whorehouse? He said to see if he pillow talks? But that didn't make sense, especially since Mariko didn't follow Anjin when he left with the escort in the next room, alone.

Is Toranaga testing Mariko? And do we really think Anjin hooked up with the escort?
He might be trying to get the Anjin to stay by forcing them together.

He isolated the husband away. Put her in a position of jealousy but also seeing he doesn’t want to.

Yeah, Toranga has been shown as honorable but man is on some major scheming.

Not sure Ruri’s hatred of him isn’t unwarranted.

The way he held the truth about Mariko’s father’s plan on wedding her to keep her from facing the consequences as motivation was devious.

We know Mariko is a skilled fighter so he’s basically got an assassin going at the Queen in disguise of an old friend.
Toranaga is not above doing what needs to be done, he's a layered character

I'm probably throwing at the wall here, but anybody else think Kiku could be another spy for Toranaga? Some of the peculiarities in her interactions and dialogue with Yabu's nephew has me suspicious. :jbhmm:


And Toranaga is likely the father of that child. Even Macho Man can currently see the lust in that nikka eye.
