The Taiko was probably sterile. So she got pregnant by someone else and claimed it was his son. I have to wonder if the kid's real father is Toronaga. It would explain why she wants him dead.
Lady Ochiba (Ruri) is so brilliant as a character. Her use of manipulation is in the way she talks and she gives off the impression that she is clearly playing the game of chess in politics. The actress just nailed it!
Due to the challenges of her life Lady Ochiba isn"t behaving like a human being anymore, but has turned more akin to a vengeful spirit yokai. Which is wonderfully captured by the unnerving way the actress performs in her role.
In the book her solution was VERY simple. She stumbled about a peasant in the woods one night and came out pregnant the next morning. And she hates Toranaga, because he might have witnessed it. If I remember right, it was left open in the books, how much Toranaga actually saw or knew, but considering he knows practically everything, I go with "He knows that the heir is not the late Taikos son."
This show is a masterpiece. If it keeps this standard, it will be seen as one of the best shows ever made. The script, acting, story, cinematography, character depth. Has everything. The brothel scene, the Noh scene, this scene. You can see that so much thought and care has gone in to every shot.
Just I thought / read forgot from where… was a long time ago; she did not used drugs; she was drugged by the main wife of the taiko ; so they could replace the taiko by a peasant similar looking in appearance so they could pass the child as the taiko son, the taiko could not have son but at that time it was always the women fault. So she was drugged and made to sleep with someone until she had a son.
The historical figure that Lady Ochiba is based on has an unbelievable life, even more tragic and epic than Mariko's. I wish they will get into it more in the coming season.

It was a lesson for Ishido to take control instead of letting fate/bureaucracy decide
The way she moves and talks. It's like watching a snake. The actress did a wonderful job.
So how she had a child?

Not she, the Wife of the Taiko used the drugs…in the novel, Ochiba sleeps with a peasant, and she hates Toranaga, because he seems to know.

茶々？
How is she the same actress that portrayed an introvert female lead in the show Eye Love You, her acting range is incredible.
ちびった
she is frikken terrifying.
Cersei Lannister's Japanese version
日本語ですいません。「翔んで埼玉」ももし海外で見れたら、見てください。
Why don't you play in hell? の二階堂ふみ もとても良い。
She's giving me Azula vibes
She reminds me of a demon in Inuyasha 🪶
How exactly did she conceived would forever be a mystery to me.
How is she so sexy, graceful, and so very scary at the same time
"I compelled Fate to look at me so I could scratch out its eyes" is getting tattoed on my arm
薬で酔わされた時に相手になったのはてっきり虎長様だと思ってたけど違ったんですね😂

She's hot.
Fumi chan is sooooooo beautiful and outstanding actrees. In ‘Eye love you’ she was soo lovely
She is absolutely terrifying.
If they do a Season 2, Lady Ochiba will become the main antagonist to Toronaga (if they follow history). That will be a clash of titans!
She would be a perfect Azula. Beautiful in a threatening way.
She would be excellent in a modern version of Yuki no Onna

Hideyoshi 😂
I like how in the end she picked the lord who didn't let her son keep the throne… lol xD
Became a Kami in the forest and bedded a villager.
That’s what she meant? I thought she was trying to tell him she did it with another dude and the child isn’t really the Taikos
female orichimaru i tell you

if 'Hannya' had a representation, Lady Ochiba would be it
