Well, firstly...

acknowledgment is in order for you completing the important mission...

of ruling the counties.

In addition, it is delightful to receive such marvelous gifts as well.

I, Michinaga, will be sure to include your promotions in this year's agenda.

Is this Chinese silk from Sir Hizen-no-kami?

Yes, only the selected imported material.

I see the gold nuggets are from Sir Mutsu-no-kami.

Yamato-no-kami...

Only one sword?

I expect it to be a famed treasure with a legend.

Well, I wouldn't call it a treasure.

As you know Yamato is a poor county.

Our crops have been failing the past few years too.

We cannot collect taxes as much.

Quiet.

Yamato is not the only county with failing crops.

With all due respect, sir...

the farmers cannot survive if we try to squeeze any more out of them.

Idiot.

The more you squeeze out of farmers, the more you get. Understand?

Wait, farmers are human too.

We cannot take their lives.

Do you mean to disobey me?

Yamato-no-kami, you seem to have no ambition to get promoted.

Suit yourself.

Nagisa, are you ready to go?

Yes.

Don't resent me.

I'm sending you to Raiko not because my love for you waned...

but because I care about you.

Don't look so sad.

Raiko may not be an aristocrat but he is a respected general of the Genji clan.

You do not have to lament so much.

Come now, Nagisa, dance for us for our parting.

Cheer up the farewell party.

Yes.

Last in tlhe tapestry afblassams I sing and play as if in a dream...

Pine trees the wind cannot sway, what happiness ta live in this peaceful world...

What is that?

Dreadful monster!

"A9lsa!"

“Aglsa-I Naglsal

I'm Sakata-no-Kintoki, a servant to Raiko of Yamato.

I came to escort the princess.

Damn you, demon!

Princess Nagisa is here. Come greet her.

My lord, I escorted Princess Nagisa.

Well done.

A certain incident happened at Kanpaku's mansion...

which caused the delay in my return.

What?

There's been a number of strange occurrences at his mansion lately.

I hear they are all involved Princess.

I...

I am cursed.

What, cursed? By who?

That I...

Cannot tell us?

Sir Kanpaku is afraid of the curse.

I see.

That is why he sent you to me.

Yes.

The curse is with me wherever I go.

How intriguing.

I, Minamoto-no-Yorimitsu, am now your official caretaker.

My lord.

My lord...

Look at Hiekiri-maru!

The legend says that...

Hiekiri-maru, the superior sword of the Genji clan...

glows when a demonic presence is around.

Another demon!

Raiko is with his new bride and is distracted tonight.

Now is the time to attack Ikeda Chunagon.

Kill all but women and children!

Katsu ra!

Stop it!

Oh, it's the famed Princess Katsura.

You don't deserve her.

I, Hakamadare, will take her.

Retreat! Retreat!

You're still awake.

Who are you?

I'm Kotsuma, a long time servant for my lord.

I see. Pleased to meet you.

It might be an honor for the ruling class drunk with power and glory...

to receive a gift from Lord Kanpaku.

But we, the warrior clan of Genji, observe no such tradition.

I hear that you cried in front of Lord Kanpaku lamenting your descent here.

I cried not because I did not want to come here...

but for the sorrow of being a woman tossed around like a doll with no soul.

So, you did not resent Lord Kanpaku for leaving you.

Lady Kotsu ma...

Kanpaku used his power and forced me to leave my loved one.

I...

I had a husband.

What?

A husband and yet he...

How sad.

How does Lord Raiko feel about me?

I don't know.

So, tonight is he...?

He won't come.

Then, what will become of me?

My brother will take care of you.

Who is your brother?

The leader of the Invincible Four, Watanabe-no-Genji Tsuna.

Where are you going?

Yes, I am on my way to Watari in Gojo from Omiya in Ichijo.

The capitol is dangerous, full of bandits and the like.

What a bold woman.

Are you traveling alone?

I'm hurrying along because I am alone and scared of the dark streets.

I'm not surprised that you're scared. I can accompany you to Gojo.

I am obliged.

I shall take accept your offer.

How beautiful.

You have a gentle mannerism for a city person.

It would be a joy to have a wife like you.

But I'm sure you have a wife.

Oh no, I'm a bumpkin from Azuma.

No woman wants to marry me.

That's impossible.

You're the famed member of Lord Yorimitsu's clan, Watanabe-no-Tsuna.

How do you know my name?

I am in love with you. Of course I know your name.

It's a lie that you're in love with me.

You know my name because of your demon power!

Demon power...

I saw your reflection in the moonlight.

I saw a demon. Reveal your true self!

Damn you, demon!

Damn you!

What shall we do with the arm?

It still carries the demon's obsession.

The demon will surely come to get it back.

Abe-no-Seimei, what is your opinion as a demon expert?

Indeed, if you refrain from any outside contact...

and guard the arm from the demon for three days...

the demon will lose its magic power.

Guard the arm for three days...

Edo city..

You should keep the gate locked tightly...

and not allow anyone in for three days.

Attach this holy plaque on the gate to keep evil away.

Doctor, let me.

I leave it in your hands, Tsuna.

Brother, wait.

What's the matter?

This mission of yours...

Can someone else take it over?

What are you saying?

It's only logical the one who cut off the arm should guard it.

But I feel scared.

If anything ever happens to you...

then, whom would I count on?

That's not like you.

If, hypothetically speaking, anything ever happens to me...

you have my lord to count on.

But with a beautiful lady like Princess Nagisa moving in...

then, a country girl like me would... Fool.

You've served my lord for over a decade and you don't understand?

But with a pretty lady from the capitol city around...

he may have a change in heart.

STOP

He's sworn to himself that you're the wife for him.

But that sounds too good to be true.

Have faith. Keep your faith.

DAY ONE

DAY TWO

DAY THREE

At last. The third night has finally come.

Excuse me, your aunt from Watanabe County just arrived.

What, my aunt?

Auntie, it's Tsuna.

Oh, Tsuna.

What on earth is going on?

Why won't you let me in the gate?

Something came up and we are refraining from outside contact.

I know you're my aunt, but we cannot let you in today.

I don't know what your circumstances are.

But I came here with a walking stick and you turn me away.

How cold have you become?

Auntie.

You used to be different.

You and your brother lost your parents young.

I raised you like you were my children...

with the hope of seeing you grow up and become fine men one day.

Auntie, I...

I...

Fine.

You may have made it in the world but you're inhumane not to know mercy.

I will sever our ties as family.

I will never see you again.

No, auntie! Wait!

Oh, Tsuna, will you see me?

Even though it is my lord's order, I cannot act inhumanely.

Please come in.

One of your men told me that you accomplished something great.

I don't mean to hide it from you...

but a demon's abominable arm is not something a lady would want to see.

Where is the arm?

I want to see it.

Let me have a glance at your accomplishment.

Since you've done so much for me...

I will secretly show it to you.

Please take a look.

So, this is the arm of a demon.

UVl'lY; it's you!

No!

We're going to arrest them all today.

Most of all, don't let Hakamadare escape.

Come on.

Hakamadare ran! Go after him!

Don't let him escape!

Shame on you!

You swore you'd arrest Hakamadare's gang this time around.

Yet all you brought back were a few bandits.

You let Hakamadare go.

In addition, Watanabe-no-Tsuna cut off a demon's arm...

just to lose it again to the demon. What an embarrassing error!

Even a tough samurai like Tsuna can err when his mercy is tested.

Oh, shut up!

Look, bandits and strange beings roam the streets of the capitol day and night.

They're doing whatever they please.

Genji is not the only warrior clan around.

If this is too much for you to handle...

I'll dismiss you from the mission and appoint someone else.

Excuse me, but I promise I'll have the bandits terminated...

and restore peace to the capitol city.

My lord, how did your meeting go?

We will either wipe out the strange elements that threat the capitol city...

or I will commit hara-kiri.

The choices are down to two.

Even if we terminate the present strange elements in the capitol...

there will still be an endless number of Shuten Doji's underlings.

My lord, unless we demolish Mt. Oe, Shuten Doji's nest...

we won't be able to wipe out the criminals.

We have sent numerous associates to Mt. Oe to scout...

but none has returned so far.

I want to know who Doji is.

I want to know what Mt. Oe is like.

My lord, please let me do the honor.

Kotsuma, what are you saying?

I wish to make up for my brother's blunder.

No.

To send a woman as a spy would degrade the Genji clan's reputation.

But I've heard no man can enter the headquarters on Mt. Oe.

I believe only a woman can accomplish the mission.

Sir Sakata! Sir Sakata!

What? Mt. Oe?

Yes, my lord said that we cannot send Ms Kotsuma to a demon's nest all by herself.

He said for you who grew up in the mountains to accompany her.

Remember not to do anything rash.

If they capture Kotsuma, then you should return.

If they capture you, then Kotsuma should return.

One of you should come home alive.

There is a chance I may never return.

Should that happen, I entrust you to take good care of my lord.

This is a top-quality incense, his special favorite.

At times such as when he feels ill, please burn it for him.

I certainly shall.

Let me also give you something as a token of our farewell.

This protection knife used to belong to my father.

Please keep with on you.

Do you mean to let me have such a valuable thing?

Please take care. Return safely for my lord's sake.

Yes.

Has he confessed anything yet?

It seems Hakamadare took Chunagon's princess and returned to his nest.

Who raided Lord Kanpaku's mansion and ours and tried to kidnap Lady Nagisa?

I don't know.

Was it the demon of Mt. Oe who came to retrieve...

its arm that Tsuna had cut off?

There's no demon on Mt. Oe.

What? Don't lie!

We saw the demon's arm with our own eyes.

If it wasn't a demon, what was it?

Do you really want to know?

Shuten Doji of Mt. Oe whom we deem as our king...

is flanked by exceptional magicians named...

Ibaragi, Kido-maru and Tsuchigumo who protect him.

What? Did you say Ibaragi?

They're going to invade the capitol eventually.

They'll conquer all of you and our king will reign as the Mikado.

Your days are numbered now.

Feel free to act powerful while you can.

Be quiet!

You just watch.

We will conquer Mt. Oe and snap off the heads of all you criminals.

Once you set your foot on Mt. Oe...

they'll hang you upside down to be fed to the birds.

What?

Evidence speaks louder.

Has anyone ever returned from Mt. Oe?

Oh, it's Ya so.

Yoichiro...

It's Jun'nai of Homen.

Where is that music coming from?

Shuten Doji's headquarters is close by. Damn him.

Damn you.

Wait.

Damn you. Wait!

Oh no.

Kotsu ma!

It's been a long time, Sakata-no-Kintoki.

What? You know my name?

Damn you, I don't have any acquaintance who's a thief.

What? You forgot already?

You were at Kanpaku's mansion the other day.

What?

I was this close to kidnapping Lady Nagisa.

You're the magician back there.

I'm the renowned Kido-maru.

I will take my time to pay you back for this wound your ax gave me.

Look forward to it!

A hungry soldier cannot fight.

Remember not to do anything rash.

If they capture Kotsuma, then you should return.

If they capture you, then Kotsuma should return.

One of you should come home alive.

I can't let both of us be captured.

Unfortunately, I seem to be the one who should escape.

Ms Kotsuma...

Right, they say they never kill women.

Forgive me, Ms Kotsuma.

Kido!

What?

Where did you find her?

She's the wife of Sakata-no-Kintoki.

Kintoki's wife?

All rig ht.

Kintoki has always beaten me up.

I'll give her a lot of attention in return.

I'll punish you to death.

Wait, Hakamadare.

I haven't taken her to Sir Doji yet.

Take care of your business later.

I have no choice. Go.

Come.

I won't let anyone else have her.

You're going to be mine.

Sir Doji will see you now.

What is your name?

Yes, my name is Kotsuma.

She's Kintoki's wife.

What a blind eye you have.

This girl cannot be anyone's wife.

What?

You mean?

She's a virgin.

A bud that hasn't blossomed yet.

I'm humbled.

So, what shall we do with her?

Hakamadare wants to take her on.

Hakamadare?

That horny bastard.

All right, I will take her on.

What, you will?

How unusual of you.

But she's obviously a spy sent to find out about this place.

We'll find that out eventually.

Take it easy.

Woman, you must be tired.

Take a bath and change your attire.

Who is he?

It's Sir Doji.

You know, the man you saw a minute ago.

Why, he's the same man?

I see, Kotsuma has been captured.

I am sorry.

No problem. Good work.

Go and have a good rest.

Excuse me.

Wait.

When we go to Mt. Oe, we won't be able to do without you.

Take good care of yourself.

Lady Nagisa, what are you doing?

Yes...

I was deeply moved by how beautiful a man...

who is concerned about the one he loves can be.

What?

I was reflecting on my own life.

I... I...

Are you cl'Yil'l9?

Yes.

I'm crying because I can relate.

How can you relate?

Sir Kanpaku forced me to be his woman.

To remember the moment he tainted me...

Come now, stay conscious. Nagisa!

To imagine how my husband must have lamented...

was worried and shed tears for me just like you do.

But now he curses me.

I have nowhere to run to. I'm just a helpless soul.

Nagisa, don't lose it.

Calm down now.

Why does your husband curse you?

He couldn't trust women any more.

He sees me as someone who was humiliated by another man...

yet shamelessly lives on as his mistress in luxury.

He now hates me more than anything.

He curses me and sees Kanpaku as his enemy.

He is sworn to revenge.

My husband is no longer the kind man I loved.

He's turned into an obsessed avenger.

Your husband...

Who is he?

My husband is in Mt. Oe.

He's Shuten Doji.

What?

He hid himself in the mountain and recruited allies to vandalize the capitol.

He attacks Kanpaku, uses magicians and tries to kidnap me.

That explains everything.

I sure understand how he must feel.

If he keeps causing trouble in the capitol and breaking the Mikado's laws...

I will have to execute him one day.

Intruder!

My lord, is everything all right?

Thanks. Keep tight security tonight.

Lady Nagisa, I'd like to hear more about you and Doji.

Yes.

Now, tell me.

Yes.

His name was Bizen-no-suke Tachibana-no-Tomotada.

He was a member of the capitol guard.

It was less than three months after I married him...

One spring day...

Halt.

Who's that woman?

Uma-no-suke, go and have a good look.

Yes. Go.

Kanpaku sent my husband on a trip to Kaga Region.

While he was away, he mercilessly...

Please let me go.

Drink it.

No, I can't drink.

Come on, it's Lord Kanpaku offering you a drink.

It's rude not to accept it.

Now that the ritual to cement a union is done.

What?

You're mine from now on.

No need to go home to Bizen-no-suke.

Please forgive me.

My husband became an avenger from that day on.

And he swore to revenge.

Bizen-no-su ke?

Has he gone mad? Go and arrest him.

Close the gate!

“Aglsa-I Naglsal.

Fool! There's no such woman here!

What a show of disrespect at His Highness's mansion!

Get him, arrest him!

What an inhumane thing to do!

Damn you, Kanpaku! I shall now swear vengeance for the sake of heaven!

Watch this!

Stop!

It's been seven years since then.

If it weren't for my encounter with Ibaragi that day...

That's a great sword.

It's gorgeous.

Hey, hand over the sword.

Do you want this sword?

What? How dare you speak to us like that.

Aren't you afraid for your life?

Life?

I don't care about that.

What?

What did you just say?

I said I don't want my life.

You don't want it?

Whether I want it or not, it's already been gone a long time.

Stop joking around and take off your clothes.

Hand over your sword.

Take it from me if you want it.

What, you bastard?

Damn him.

Wait.

Ronin, you're better than you look.

Have a match with me. Come on.

You look like you've got a little something.

Come at me.

What, you brat! Come at me!

Wait!

What is it?

Are you going to be next?

No, that's not it. Meet our boss, our big chief.

What, your boss? That's right.

We're told to bring a strong man if we ever encounter one.

Come and meet our boss. Please.

All right. I will.

Boss is coming.

Are you the boss?

That's right. I'm Ibaragi.

What, Ibaragi?

I heard that Ibaragi Doji who lives in Senjo-ga-take is a demon.

I can become a demon or a serpent when called for.

What a surprise that the famous Ibaragi Doji is a woman.

I understand your surprise.

I have too high an ambition for a woman should, so I call myself a Doji.

What is your high ambition?

To punish the Fujiwara and remove Kanpaku Michinaga...

and to rule the nation in the name of the heavens.

What? Are you against the Fujiwara?

Sir Bizen-no-suke...

You say you've already lost your life.

Would you lend it to me for a while?

Lend you my life?

As you can see, my ambition is too big for a woman to take on.

I've been searching for many years for someone who is worthy to be our leader.

So you're asking me to be your leader.

The fire festival has begun. Please make your appearance.

Hey, come on.

Hakamadare, wait.

I'll get back to you later.

I said wait. I said I'll take her on.

I know you said that but I can't let anyone else have this woman.

You say this woman, but you've got Chunagon's daughter all to yourself.

This one is different.

It's our rule that anyone can do anything with the women we bring back.

I'll take her.

No. I won't let you.

What?

Damn it.

Sir Doji.

You've never cared about what anyone does to any woman.

What is the reason for treating this girl special?

There's no reason. I just took pity on her.

Pity?

Even if she's a threatening enemy?

What do you mean?

She is the young sister of Watanabe-no-Tsuna, our hated obstacle.

How did you know?

How would I not know?

I'm Ibaragi. Your brother cut my arm off.

You're mine to kill.

Wait, woman.

This knife belongs to Nagisa.

Woman, did Nagisa tell you to kill me with this knife?

No. It's your imagination.

Is it so easy to forget her man once she's attached to a new one?

Once she slept with Kanpaku, she became his woman.

Then she goes to Raiko and becomes his woman.

Can a woman act so shameful?

No. That's an injustice to Lady Nagisa.

Then why doesn't Nagisa kill herself?

Why is she still alive despite her shame?

Just like when Kanpaku took her...

she must be attracted to Raiko now.

Sir Doji!

Raiko won't be around too much longer.

He'll be trapped in Tsuchigumo's web, his blood sucked dry and he shall die.

Could be today, could be tomorrow.

Thanks.

Are you feeling a little better?

I feel much calmer.

You've been great to me.

Don't mention it. Ms Kotsuma asked me to take care of you.

You can think of me as her and tell me if there's anything you want.

It's strange how we met.

Yes.

Once peace is restored in the capitol, you shall find happiness again.

I hope the day will come soon.

I can't hope for such a day.

Hang in there.

You shouldn't lose hope.

Be patient and wait for that day.

Yes.

It's late. Go and rest now.

Yes.

Kotsu ma...

Sir Raiko, how are you feeling?

Who are you?

I'm Chiju. I live in Eizan.

Why are you in my mansion?

I heard you've been cursed by spirit.

I wanted to help break the curse for you and came here though it's late.

What?

I shall use the Shingon method to get rid of this obstacle for you.

My lord, please wake up!

Raiko, take this!

Damn you, demon!

My lord, you're safe!

Kikuo-maru!

Get him. Where are the Invincible Four?

A trail of blood.

Who are you?

What's that?

What? Tsuchigumo was killed?

Damn Raiko.

What happened to Arakuma-no-Taro?

His head was cut off and is displayed in public in Roku-jo.

He's dead.

They were helpful allies.

They died before they saw the day of our victory.

What? She's just a kid!

She'll be a woman in a few years!

He's so impatient!

He was assigned to rule the Yamato Region once.

So I expected him to have a fortune, but he was poor.

I was so angry, I snatched this girl.

What? Ya mato-no- kami?

Did you attack former Yamato-no-kami, Kuro?

Yes. What's the matter?

What did you do with him? Tell me.

Yes, it was a small family yet they were tough to overcome, so I...

Father! Father!

I stabbed him good.

Idiot!

He was the only honest man with a clear conscience...

among those rotten souls in the capitol.

But I didn't...

Everybody loved him.

He was such a noble man and you killed him...

and kidnapped his daughter!

But Chief...

we bandits can't do our job if we worry about who's good and who's bad.

We're thieves, demons. That's what we are.

Chief, Kuro was our comrade.

I will kill a comrade if he breaks the rules.

Have you forgotten our original goal?

We rose against the Fujiwara dictatorship.

How dare you harm a righteous man?

Settsu-no-kami Minamoto-no-Ason Yorimitsu...

You have the Mikado's decree to terminate criminals on Mt. Oe.

Gather strong men of the Genji clan immediately...

and terminate the band of criminals.

I shall immediately terminate the criminals...

and swear to fulfill the Mikado's order.

Kada Genji's army of 600 has arrived!

600, Kada Genji, acknowledged.

Ono Genji's army of 1300 has arrived!

Kai Genji's army has arrived!

Lady Nagisa...

The time has come for me and Shuten Doji to come face to face.

Only the gods knows whether I shall overcome him or be overcome.

Should I lose to him and fall...

you're free to go wherever you want and search for your own happiness.

Farewell.

MY lord!

Lady Nagisa killed herself.

What? Nagisa!

Lady Nagisa! What haste you made.

I admired your noble personality.

But I couldn't forget my love for my husband even for a while.

So you were...

It is a pity how a woman is powerless...

to stop you and my husband from killing each other.

You loved him so much.

Please tell my husband that I longed for him...

until the moment of my death.

Nagisa! Lady Nagisa!

So they're here.

Yes, Raiko and his army of 3,000 have crossed the border of the province.

I've been waiting for this day.

Station yourselves as previously assigned.

Once we kill Raiko, there'll be nothing for us to fear.

We'll go with the momentum and ride into the capitol.

To hell with Genji! To hell with Raiko!

The world is ours now!

It's too soon to assume our victory.

They staggered because of unfamiliarity with the geography of the area.

But we haven't finished them off.

Sure, we've already seen the result.

We'll decapitate Raiko and ride into the capitol tomorrow.

Shuten Doji will be the Mikado, and I'll be the Kanpaku!

Doji doesn't have such ulterior motive.

He too hated Kanpaku and desires to defeat the Fujiwara.

But you know well that he has no desire to achieve glory for himself.

You're always so stuffy.

If we defeat the Fujiwara, we can do whatever we want.

I want to be the Kanpaku and live a life of luxury.

I'm flesh and blood after all.

You mean you want...

You're flesh and blood too. You should do what you desire.

It's high time you take off your cold mask...

and tell Shuten Doji that you love him.

What?

Sir Kido-maru wishes to speak with you in private.

He does? Where is he?

He doesn't wish to be seen, so he wants to see you in his bedroom.

Bed room?

What are you doing?

Sir Doji will be here any minute.

Be quiet. I'm going to kill you if you struggle.

What are you going to do with me?

We'll take revenge with your body.

Revenge?

I knew how Chief felt...

so I tried to take back Lady Nagisa for him many times.

So what?

You're Raiko's love.

Listen, Raiko took Lady Nagisa...

so Chief will do whatever he wants with you.

You can't! You can't!

Are you going to kill me?

No, I'll kill myself.

Why?

Kido-maru, he doesn't know how I really feel.

Did you really think I would take revenge on a woman...

for my hatred toward another?

Sir Doji.

Tomorrow I'll come face to face with Raiko.

Whoever wins is men's business.

Yes.

I won't let anyone touch you. No need to worry.

Thank you.

Those greedy men.

They'd sell their souls for Sake and women.

At the beginning, we were united in passionate protest against the Fujiwara.

Now the goal is being forgotten.

Chiharu told me that there's a fire of desire burning in your heart...

to overturn the impure world and create a beautiful world.

My dreams and desires...

are crumbling because of the heartless members of my group.

Sir Doji.

Do you understand how I feel?

I'm glad.

I won't abandon hope.

We'll win the final battle tomorrow and ride into the capitol.

The capitol... the capitol.

Did you see that? You too?

Intruder!

What? An intruder?

It's Kido- ma ru!

Damn you, Kido-maru!

Kintoki, that's the arrow in the dream.

From what I saw...

we cannot win by pushing against the enemy...

who knows the geography of the area.

So I've come up with an idea.

What is your idea?

We'll go under and sneak into their headquarters.

At the right time we'll get Doji.

Once Doji is down, the rest are just a bunch of small-fries.

It won't be difficult for us to battle them off.

But I hear that...

even hunters and woodcutters don't know the way to his headquarters.

Please leave it to me about the mountain.

No matter what kind of maze it is, I will sniff it out.

What are we doing here? Your nose isn't that sharp, is it?

Suppose Kintoki of Mt. Ashigara has lost his instinct?

What's the matter, Kintoki?

I got it.

Maid! Maid!

Could you be Sir Minamoto-no-Yorimitsu?

You know my name? You must be from the capitol.

I'm Katsura, the daughter of Ikeda Chunagon.

Oh, you must be the one who...

Somebody's finally here to help me.

Indeed. Come on, show us to Doji's mansion.

Yes.

What do you want?

I have business to do with your body.

What are you doing? That's unfair!

Being unfair is my specialty.

I never give up on anything I've set my eyes on.

Come here.

Rogue! Beast!

What are you doing? This girl is under Sir Doji's special care!

To hell with Doji!

I was the one who let him join us at first.

And now he pushes me aside and acts like the boss.

I'll show him something.

Stop it! Out of the way!

Damn you, woman...

What? Hakamadare?

It's a bad omen before a battle.

She's Hakamadare's enemy!

Our men won't satisfied unless we kill her.

Kill her!

Reporting, sir!

There are six mountain disciples at the gate requesting to see you!

What? Mountain disciples?

How did they find our secret pathway?

Suspicious.

Bring them in. We'll kill them all.

Wait.

Let's see them first. Bring them in.

Who are you traveling men?

What brings you here?

We're a group of mountain disciples traveling to train ourselves.

We've heard that you're facing a battle with the Genji's army.

We thought we could help dispel the enemy by calling on spiritual power...

and thus have come to your aid.

Oh, I'm grateful for your generosity.

So, how might you suggest to execute your plan?

We shall establish the Five Great Kings of Light as the source of power...

by placing five altars in all the four directions and at the center...

and burn bonfires and pray.

Now, who are the Five Great Kings of Light?

Go-Sanze Yasha in the East, Gundari Yasha in the South...

Dai'itoku in the West, Kongo Yasha in the North...

and Daisho Fudo at the center.

What is Go-Sanze like?

He has three faces with three expressions and eight arms.

Sanze means three virtues.

He possesses them all, hence his name Sanze.

Well done.

Then, I shall accept your offer for the prayer.

Certainly.

Oh wait.

Before the prayer, there is something I'd like to request.

What is it?

I have never witnessed the En'nen Dance to date.

Please give a performance for me.

What? You want me to dance the En'nen Dance?

Wait.

I will perform in his place.

What?

Please.

How unusual to see you here, Watanabe-no-Tsuna!

IVS you!

Haven't seen you since Modori Bridge.

Welcome, Sir Raiko.

There is no way for you to leave here alive.

Give up your weapons and surrender.

Demonic woman, take my arrow!

Damn you!

Nam Kwan-ze-yin Bodhisattva!

Ibaragi! What has happened to you?

This arrow carries Buddha's prayer.

We've been fighting together side by side.

You can't die and leave me behind!

Sir Doji, 1...

I... with you...

Raiko, it's time for a duel to decide the winner.

Come at me!

A duel is fine with me.

Come at me, Shuten Doji!

Here I come!

Hold it please!

Kotsuma, out of the way.

You shouldn't kill him!

What?

I came to the mountain and learned how noble he really is.

You shouldn't kill him.

Leave it, Kotsu ma.

I will kill you too if you don't move.

Kill me if you want to kill this honorable man.

Out of the way. We're at war with each other.

This duel should happen.

You shouldn't kill him. You shouldn't kill Sir Yorimitsu.

It's pointless now. I'll kill you if you don't let go.

Go ahead.

Darkness shall befall the capitol if he dies.

Who else would be able to protect the people?

What did you say?

Kill me first if you want to kill him and his faithful warriors.

Hold it, Bizen-no-suke.

What?

I forgot I brought something for you.

What?

Her body may have been tainted by others...

but her heart never was.

Here's a memento of one sad woman.

You mean Nagisa is...

She couldn't bear the thought of her beloved being killed...

so, she killed herself.

Naglsa...

Raiko, is that true?

Bizen-no-suke...

your wife loved you faithfully...

and longed for you until the moment of her death.

Naglsa...

Poor woman.

What a sorry sight our chief has become!

Go, kill them all!

Wait!

You should give up and surrender.

No one will be able to leave the mountain alive.

Our army is standing by. Behold!

Damn it! You're bluffing!

Get them!

Hold it!

As of today, Shuten Doji is gone.

The Demon of Mt. Oe shall be dead.

Shuten Doji hid himself in Mt. Oe...

because he wanted to defeat the Fujiwara so everyone can live in peace.

Now that I have seen the Genji's chief...

I predict the samurai will take over the reign before long.

Without defeating Kanpaku and the Fujiwara...

my ambitious goal is as good as already achieved.

You men join the Genji's army.

Your dismissal is Shuten Doji's wish.

What about you?
