Ep. 9: Biwa ist Zeuge von Kiyotsunes Tod und trifft vor der Flucht der Heike ihre blinde Mutter Asagi.

Biwa is taken in by three young shirabyoshi while Yoshinaka's troops run rampant in the capital, looting and pillaging as they please. Retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa returns to the capital with Yoshinaka's armies. He installs a new emperor, Go-Toba, and outlaws the Taira. The Taira's former ally at Dazaifu, Lord Ogata, is ordered to expel the Heike and so they leave on foot for the port of Hakozaki. When they arrive, Kiyotsune loses hope and throws himself into the water and Biwa sees his death in a vision. Biwa eventually finds her mother who is now blind and calls her Asagi. Biwa eventually forgives her mother for abandoning her and leaves to observe the fortunes of the Heike. Meanwhile, Yoshinaka falls out with Go-Shirakawa and imprisons the former emperor. Yoritomo becomes concerned by Yoshinaka's ambitions and sends Yoshitsune to subdue him. Yoshitsune recaptures the capital and Yoshinaka is killed during an ensuing skirmish. Yoshitsune goes on to pursue the Heike who have returned to Fukuhara, where they put up a strong defense at their stronghold but must flee by boat. As they leave, Atsumori is challenged to a fight by the warrior Kumagai Naozane, who reluctantly kills the young man which is witnessed by Biwa. (Source: Wikipedia)
