Shōgunseason 1 began ontogeny back in 2018,giving series creators Justin Marks and Rachel Kondo five upstanding class of preparation and refinement .

The historical fable serial has the added welfare of displume from veridical - aliveness eventsand the raise ofTokugawa Ieyasu ’s shogunate , which is the basis of Hiroyuki Sanada ’s Lord Toranaga ’s story and character . Shōgunseason 2will not be without its faults , however , and will have the notable disadvantage of being unable to have some of its best graphic symbol , such as Anna Sawai ’s Mariko , Tadanobu Asano ’s Yabushige , and Tokuma Nishioka ’s Hiromatsu . time of year 2 could fulfill fans by including the Battle of Sekigahara and the precipitation of Lord Ishido which was missing from the conclusion and would be a great means to begin the new season .

Lord Toranaga’s Fate Set Up The Shogunate Focus For Shogun Season 2

Toranaga’s rise to power in season 1 laid the foundation for season 2

WhileShōgunseason 1 focused on Toranaga ’s cunning strategy and grow to major power , season 2 can centre on the organization of the shogunate in its earliest stages . It will belike primarily concentrate on the Christianity subplot from season 1 , since Christianity was banned by Tokugawa a X or so after his monocracy was created . This provides a hatful of ammo for the primary conflict and the opportunity for some of the less - develop characters , such as Father Martin , to get more involved . Shōgunseason 3 will likely focus on the Siege of Osaka , which is the final battle that solidify Tokugawa ’s insurmountable shogunate in feudal Japan .

The end ofShōgundemonstrated thatToranaga had essentially led Ishido into a trap , which required major sacrifices from some of his most patriotic servants , include Mariko and Hiromatsu . Toranaga even lost his boy in an episode ofShōgunseason 1 , but it was also mentioned that he has other sons who should play a substantial purpose in next seasons . If there is a time leap betweenShōgunseason 1 and 2 , it will in all probability be about 10 to 14 years and will shroud the rising threat of Christian mercenaries and the Siege of Osaka , which took place between 1614 and 1615 .

How Christianity Could Remain A Focus In Shogun Seasons 2 & 3

Toranaga will likely ban Christians from Japan in future seasons

The cattle farm and influence of Christianity throughout Japan was a major theme inShōgun , peculiarly with Lady Mariko ’s persona . The construction ofEdo , or modern - day Tokyo , will also be a key prospect ofShōgunseason 2 , as the real - life Tokugawa Ieyasu basically build the little sportfishing village from the ground up , making it one of the most important city in the mankind . In 1614,Tokugawa Ieyasu was highly concerned about the influence of Christian mercenariesfrom Spain and Portugal and their territorial interests in Japan , signing the Christian Expulsion Edict into effect .

The Christian Expulsion Edict made the practice of Christianity in Japan forbidden and led to the removal of all Christian foreign missionary . Father Martin could be allowed to remain in a apace spring up Edo throughout the first decade of the 17th 100 in succeeding episodes ofShōgun . However , Toranaga ’s rising suspicions of his intentions , as revealed to him in season 1 by John Blackthorne , could paint Father Martin as an opposition of the shogunate .

How Shogun Could Focus On The Siege Of Osaka

The Mother of the Heir Ochiba-no-kata will still fight for power

1614 was a pivotal year for Tokugawa Ieyasu ( Toranaga ) , act out the Christian Expulsion Edict while also thwarting the efforts to overthrow his Caesarism by the Taiko ’s son and the Mother of the Heir ( Ochiba - no - kata ) . Even though Lord Ishido will be out of the picture after the Battle of Sekigahara , Ochiba - no - kata demonstrated that she hold the truthful ability in Osaka and will likely animate her Logos , the so - called Heir , to rectify what was taken from them by Toranaga . This perfectly sets up a recreation of the Siege of Osaka in future seasons ofShōgun , although the serial does have somewhat of a time limit considering Tokugawa died in 1616 .

Anna Sawai has become one of the salutary characters in the highly lionize serial Shōgun but she has also starred in another critically acclaimed show .
