The unfolding of his power is changed as Cosmo Jarvis’ John Blackthorne, a shipwrecked English pilot, descends upon the tense environment, bearing secrets that could aid Toranaga’s bid. The two men, from opposing worlds, are tied together through their translator Toda Mariko ( Pachinko ‘s Anna Sawai), a disgraced noblewoman with mysterious origins who must prove her allegiance and skillset.
