Ep. 8: Tenzen reveals death match roster while Okoi dies revealing scroll secrets to Saemon

8

Tenzen displays the list of ten combatants from each clan destined for a fight to the death. In the salt store, Okoi drains Jingorou’s blood, allowing him to revert to a semi-liquid state and escape. When Nenki seeks Rousai, Okoi attempts to drain his blood, but his hairy body prevents skin contact; instead, he pierces her with his hair. Hotarubi and Saemon, disguised as Yashamaru, enter to find Nenki and the dying Okoi. With her last breath, Okoi informs her brother that she killed Rousai and reveals a hidden scroll. Saemon retrieves the scroll just as Oboro arrives, her mystic eyes unconsciously exposing him and forcing a life-or-death struggle. Gyoubu creates a distraction, enabling Saemon’s escape before seizing the scroll himself. Tenzen gathers the Iga to confront Gennosuke, who is now joined by Saemon and Gyoubu, as the Kouga remnants stand united against the Iga storm.
