In order to defeat Yagyu Jubei II, Kita Furo sets out on a training trip. Jiyu feels depressed for breaking an important promise, and discovers that Sai has continued to ghostwrite. Upset, she runs away; Mikage, while going after her, meets up with Nizaemon, who has been defeated before. He begs her to convince Jiyu to free the rest of the Siberian Yagyu. Furo later catches up with Jiyu and demands that she fight him, but she refuses even when Nizaemon begs her to fight and Ayunosuke asks her to accept the Eyepatch. Suddenly, Freesia appears and takes the Eyepatch.
