The samurai prepare for the remaining Nobuseri's attack, who are desperate after the loss of their ship. When the attack finally comes, tragedy strikes at the climax. Gorobei tries to deflect a Nobuseri's bullets, but one strikes close enough to engulf Gorobei in a lethal explosion, fatally wounding him.
