Shogun episode 10 concludes without displaying the real war, as explained by show creators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks. Tuesday marked the exciting conclusion of an incredible television season, as Toranaga's scheme to deceive Ishido and take control of the shogunate at last materialised. Although the last episode of season one concentrated on John Blackthorne's quest and the conclusion of Toranaga's behind-the-scenes manoeuvres, it ended without showing the inevitable conflict between Toranaga and Ishido.
