Loyal to the end. R.I.P. Nagakado
More proof death isnt as glorious as its Romanticized is the Seppuku of the Lord Toranaga defeated as a child. The story was it was a clean death of one stroke of the sword . But in Reality it was Mess and it took Many Strokes to finish the job..And even the tales of that Lord Seppuku was probably written as if it was a smooth process when it wasnt further perpetuating these delusions.
Yea, the real thing is often much more gruesome.

Beautiful death he says🤣☠️
What bothers me is that Samurai lords have always a following. Not even the Aijin can move without someone following. There is no way he could have gotten close to his uncle wile wearing swords.
I think that's where Kiku came in to play. It looked like she helped set up the uncle by sneaking Nagakado in & before he reaches his uncle he first takes out his guard.
(Toranaga) Tokugawa Ieyasu's first born Matsudaira Nobuyasu was forced to comit seppuku (suicide) because his Mother and Wife were talking shit on Tokugawa in letters to Matsudaira Nobuyasu's father in law. Tokugawa had his wife's head chopped off.
I actually did a video on this recently covering the early life of Tokugawa leading up to the events of Shōgun. While it was Tokuhime's letters that led to their deaths, it was actually all one big set up. Tokuhime wrote to Oda accusing Nobuyasu of being in contact with Takeda Katsuyori, Oda's enemy. Which they weren't, there was never any evidence uncovered that they were actually in contact with Takeda, apart from Tokuhime's fake letters. This was all one big frame job so Tokuhime could get out of her marriage to Tokugawa's son. Even Tokugawa didn't believe it but was forced kill his wife & have his son commit seppuku anyway in order to keep his alliance with Oda in tact.

Nagakado's death timing wise was totally fine and forseeable, but having him slip and hit his head is a weak choice. This is maybe the first time in the series Ive cringed and felt like plot-armor got in the way. Perhaps a more meaninful, though still meaningless, death would have to had him fail at killing Toranaga's brother, only delivering a shallow wound, showing his lack of real battle experience and reflecting what he believed his father did in one stroke but having him fail at it. Then have Toranaga's brother or better yet another character cleanly kill Nagakado with a single stroke.
Can't agree. I think that slipping and crushing his head on a rock was a great choice for "I wanna die a beautiful death in glorious battle" character... Dying at the hand of an enemy was exactly his idea of beautiful death, no matter how pointless would that be. Like, for the large part of this episode, he just wanted one final last stand battle - totally pointless, yet glorious and heroic. Meaningless death in accident was good way how to show the stupidity of the "beautiful death" idea both to the audience and to the Naga in his last dying breath.
