Flashbacks reveal Shikizaki Kiki’s past with Yasuri Kazune during the Sengoku period. In the present, Princess Hitei discovers Togame’s true identity, increasing her motive to eliminate her. Meanwhile, Houou battles Emonzaemon while Pengin observes, holding the 11th sword, Dokutou Mekki. Fearing defeat, Pengin throws the sword to Houou, granting him power but also driving him insane, causing him to injure Pengin. Bleeding on a road, Houou is found by Togame and Shichika, who identify the poison and pursue him. Pengin wakes from a nightmare, only to be confronted by Emonzaemon wielding the last sword, Entou Juu. Despite Pengin’s abilities countering the bullets initially, Emonzaemon fatally shoots him. Shichika, Togame, and the possessed Houou meet in an abandoned village, where Shichika quickly defeats Houou after he is taken over by Shikizaki’s spirit. Continuing to Owari, the pair discuss Pengin’s supposed leadership, unaware of his death. Upon arrival, Emonzaemon reveals he knows Togame’s identity and shoots her with Entou Juu.
