In Edo, Lady Oeyo wants to take action after she discovers that someone tried to poison Kunichiyo but Tenkai advises restraint. Meanwhile, Koshirou uses both his whirlwind technique and kama hand scythes to attack the three Kouga. Hyouma tells Kagerou to take Gennosuke to safety while he tries to stop Koshirou. Because Koshirou has been blinded, Hyouma's Dōjutsu has no effect on him, and Koshirou manages to use his whirlwind technique to hit Hyouma. As Hyouma stands, mortally wounded, he thinks back to the time when he was asked by Danjou to teach Gennosuke the Dōjutsu technique and how he became Gennosuke's mentor.
