قسمت 12: ایروکو کگان را شکست می‌دهد و سبک مومویو ساکاناگاره را به تاداناگا نشان می‌دهد

12

Irako and Iku are greeted by the three swordsmen from Noubi dojo and are allowed to enter Kogan dojo, not being perceived as a great threat. Iku plays the biwa while Irako performs a short poem. Next, Iku strips to present a tattoo of a dragon killing a tiger on her back to provoke Kogan, but Kogan suddenly cuts the skin from her back and when two Noubi jump to protect him, he kills them. Fearing being trapped in the room of bloodied corpses, Irako leaps outside and prepares to face Kogan alone. They attack each other, and although Irako is cut he is sure he made a fatal strike on Kogan. Irako waits to hear Kogan fall, but hearing only other sounds, manages to rise and stab the old man with his sword. Only then is it apparent that he struck a fatal blow with half of Kogan's face gone. Fujiki returns to find the scene of carnage and vainly tries to revive his dead master. Seven days later Ushimata returns to find the dojo closed and in mourning. Some time later Irako appears before Tadanaga and when asked what style he uses, he replies, Mumyou Sakanagare.
