Shōgun star Moeka Hoshi has opened up about whether Fuji really would have shot Omi after aiming a gun at him during the series. In episode 4, Omi arrives to demand John Blackthorne’s guns, something he’s unwilling to give up to any characters in Shōgun save for Fuji, who he asks to keep them safe. When Omi demands the guns from her, she aims them at him, honoring her duty of protecting John by also threatening to shoot the young swordsman.
Speaking with Screen Rant, Hoshi explained how she believes Fuji’s moment with Omi in Shōgun easily could have led to her shooting him. The actor explains how the environment of feudal Japan would have made the moment justifiable, indicating how easily she could have killed him. Check out what Hoshi had to say about the moment below:
I maybe have not thought about that… I think she would’ve shot him. Considering the times, and the fact that people are already kind of getting killed left and right anyway. In that kind of environment, I think I would’ve shot him. Also, we were higher ranking than him, so I think that she would’ve shot Omi.
