Ep. 18: Lady Oeyo faces poison plot in Edo while Koshirou blinds Hyouma with whirlwind technique

18

In Edo, Lady Oeyo seeks action after discovering an attempt to poison Kunichiyo, but Tenkai advises restraint. Simultaneously, Koshirou employs his whirlwind technique and kama hand scythes to assault three Kouga ninja. Hyouma instructs Kagerou to escort Gennosuke to safety while he confronts Koshirou. Since Koshirou is blind, Hyouma's Doujutsu proves ineffective, allowing Koshirou to strike Hyouma with his wind-based attack. Mortally wounded, Hyouma reflects on his past, recalling when Danjou asked him to teach Gennosuke the Doujutsu technique and how he eventually became Gennosuke's mentor.
