Yukimura, Matabei, and Muneakira are attempting to help Jubei control her ability to turn into a Master Samurai as Kanetsugu appears. Kanetsugu is spying for Yoshihiko posing as Yukimura's friend but fully enrages Yukimura due to their grudge. Sen contemplates kissing Muneakira while he discovers the link between all the spirited away incidents. Yukimura shares her concerns with Muneakira only to be interrupted by Kanetsugu. Muneakira accepts injury at the hands of Kanetsugu for ignoring how Yukimura felt. Kanetsugu is stopped and after Sen voices her true feelings, she kisses Muneakira thereby creating a contract with him. A defeated Kanetsugu flees from the dojo only to be pursued by Hanzo.
