第11話: 壇ノ浦の海戦は平家の敗北と安徳天皇の溺死をもって決着する。

The sea battle of Dan-no-ura begins with volleys of arrows being fired by both sides, then the boats close in, ramming each other. The outgoing tide initially favors the Heike and they push the Genji forces offshore. However, a school of dolphins are seen swimming around the Heike boats and a banner falls which are considered bad omens. As the tide begins to change, the Genji gain the advantage and begin pushing the Heike boats backwards, then the Genji are joined by warriors from Shikoku and Kyūshū. The location of the Taira family within the fleet is betrayed to Yoshitzune and he approaches them to capture the Imperial Treasures. As the end approaches for the Taira clan, Kiyomori's widow, Tokiko, takes the young emperor Antoku in her arms and commits suicide by drowning. They are followed by many others of the clan, but Biwa helps save Tokuko saying that it is not her time to die. Some time after the battle, Go-Shirakawa visits a temple where Tokuko has become a nun dedicated to prayer. As he leaves, Biwa plays her instrument, telling the story of the clan, and the Buddha's temple bells toll the message that all existence is impermanent and that all who flourish must fall.
