During their journey, GB, Smith and Mel gets tired and slows down. While they are resting, GB tells Weed to freely go to Ohu all by himself, telling him that the rest of the group can catch up later to which Weed agrees and goes on. Smith wakes up and scolds GB for his reckless suggestion and sends him to protect Weed. After a long journey, Weed reaches Futago Pass, the place in which there is Ohu. However, instead of a Dog Paradise, he finds hundreds of dog corpses and meets, Ken the Great Dane and Kagetora the Kai Ken, both of whom are sons of old Ohu soldiers. They first snap at him to get out of Ohu, but after seeing his speed and strength, Kagetora informs him that Ohu was attacked by a demonic animal called Kaibutsu and he killed dogs. The leader, Gin, told them with some other guard dogs to keep Kaibutsu locked inside Ohu, but the monster broke through them and began attacking and eating humans. The humans nearby thought that the dogs were the man-eaters and began shooting them to stop the killings, killing several innocent dogs. Ken and Kagetora, along with other uard dogs, pleaded with the leader to let them die fighting with Kaibutsu, as they didn't want to die by being shot, but the leader said that it was not the time and went away. GB arrives and informs them that Weed is the leader's son, which they refuse to believe. The humans again shoot and kill several dogs. Weed encounters his father, although Gin snaps at him that he doesn't have a son. Kaibutsu attacks and Weed is petrified by the beast's mutated appearance, so Gin pushes Weed away and gets captured by Kaibutsu, who kills him. Ken, Kagetora and other dogs attack but are unable to even pierce Kaibutsu's skin. Weed finally slashes Kaibutsu's cheek in anger, surprising Ken and Kagetora as Weed is the first one to break Kaibutsu's skin. The humans shoot again, causing Kaibutsu to run away. Ken, Kagetora, Weed and GB meet up with Smith and Mel, who had reached Ohu. Smith identifies the dog they thought as Gin to be Gin's substitute, Tokimune and says that after the battle with Akakabuto, Gin and his close friends John and Akame, went to different places to solve different problems and they all had substitutes to fill in for them when they were gone. Ken and Kagetora, being guard dogs were unaware of this fact. Weed, Ken and Kagetora mourns for Tokimune and after his burial, they notice a strange group of shadowy dogs watching them.
