After a month of traveling, Togame and Shichika arrive in Inaba, where they believe the next sword, Zantou Namakura, is located. They discover the current owner, Uneri Ginkaku, confined to a small room in his home, which is surrounded by ever-growing sand. Having lost everything else, Ginkaku possesses only the sword and his residence. Initial negotiations fail, and the pair retreat after observing Ginkaku’s challenging speed. Following deliberation, they return to confront him. Shichika engages Ginkaku in combat and ultimately defeats him, securing the second sword for their collection. This victory allows them to continue their journey with the newly acquired weapon, Namakura, the Decapitation Sword.
