Toronaga makes Blackthorne his aide and appoints him samurai.

Shogun

Blackthorne and married Mariko begin a romance; Toronaga continues to build his army for a confrontation with his chief rival, Lord Ishido (Nobuo Kaneko).

Toranaga becomes shogun after the defeat of Lord Ishido; Mariko is killed in the final battle; heartbroken, but resolute, Blackthorne begins construction of another ship.

Capt. John Blackthorne (Richard Chamberlain) and members of his crew are shipwrecked near a fishing village on the coast of 17th-century Japan.

Captured by an ambitious warlord (Frankie Sakai), Blackthorne learns of the struggle for political power among the ruling regents of feudal Japan.

Toranaga (Toshiro Mifune) rescues condemned Blackthorne and plans to use the Englishman's nautical skills to seize the position of shogun, supreme commander.
