Well I guess this is it for the backstory of ōoku. Kasuga was only 65 ? I thought she was way older than that. Afterall, she lived long enough to see her great grandchild.

I got goosebumps in the last scene when Iemitsu was introduced as shogun. This episode was really well adapted on all levels.

I cried so much in this episode. When the Iemitsu appears as a woman shogun for the first time, I couldn’t stop sobbing

With Lady Kasuga dead, the era of finding a male successor for the Tokugawa shogunate comes to an end and Iemitsu as the official third shogunate with female feudal lords begins. Japan has now become a matriarchy.

Red face small pox at its final stage I believe. Turns out this Masasuke guy is that old guy the current shogun went to meet. Kasuga being 65 is unbelievable. Chie's father died at 31 or something, Chie is over 20 I believe, then was she just around 15 when she began taking care of Chie's father?

Chie finally reveals herself as the shogun Iemitsu to the public.

O-raku and other man also succumbed to his iilness of red face pox and using Kasuga chamber in meanwhile, not worrying about getting infected at all Arikoto takes care 3 of them at once. This man is the real one, what a truly good man he is, now i understand why his subordinate all like him. Hope he won't get infected.

Rip Kasuga, now come the new era of woman Shogun with the Iemitsu revelation of gender. It looks like Arikoto in charge of Ooku now after her departure. Will the country fall into ruin or not. I'm curious of the commonner lives after the announcement.

How, Japan starts a new era with women with official jobs. Though due to patriarchy still in place, they have to take on male names.
