Yes. In the book he admits his inner thoughts to himself. He explains it all. Even eliminating the heir and his mother.

IIRC, it's the Christian lords that ally with Toranaga. In real life, the heir and his mother were confined to Osaka after 'Toranaga' became Shogun. He would later besiege Osaka and force them both to kill themselves. It makes no sense that they would ally with him.

FX would make a mint if they did a second series with the freedom to deviate from the book. Everyone loves Shogun.

I'd also accept a spinoff simply focusing on the Anjin's life wandering around Japan as framing for a period piece that explores that period of their history and specifically Edo's buildup into Tokyo.
