Ep. 8: Kojuro faces the Miyoshi Death Squad's poison incense and Hisahide's forces at Todaiji.
Kojuurou reaches Todaiji but is hindered by the Miyoshi Death Squad using slow-acting poison incense. Despite his weakened state, he relies on skill to survive. At nearby temple ruins, Hisahide expresses shock that Kojuurou brought Masamune's six swords to save retainers. Kojuurou offers the swords and challenges Hisahide to a duel, which Hisahide declines. Yukimura arrives with shieldless armor as a distraction for Sasuke to free the captives, but Hisahide destroys the ruins first. In Kai, Masamune wakes to see Takeda, who speculates Hisahide works for Oda. Back at the ruins, Hisahide sends his bomb squad against the enraged Kojuurou. Yukimura fails to stop them. After Sasuke clears the incense, Kojuurou lands a fatal blow on Hisahide, who then commits suicide. Kojuurou discovers the retainers survived the earlier explosion.
