"Told you so" as I have always said that there was another possibility. Unless it turns out that Okiya is Bourbon, then I'll fly to Japan and make sure Gosho dies a horribly painful death.
We don't make mistakes. We have happy accidents. Remember: A thin paint will stick to a thick paint.
2nd option. It's Gosho's own fault, he's smartened up his fans to the point where they can smell a rat. Swerving us for the sake of swerving us would just be cheap.
If Akai weren't disguised as Okiya, then obviously I would think that Akai disguises himself as Chekhov to mislead everybody here and gets the last laugh
