Tập 7: Một mối đe dọa từ kẻ phản diện trỗi dậy khi hai chiến binh giao tranh dưới ánh trăng.

7

After a teasing Sasuke warns an annoyed Kasuga not to stray away from Uesugi, Sasauke leaves to investigate a nearby explosion. Kojuurou tells Yukimura of his regrets of what happened to Masamune when Mitsuhide attacked him. Sasuke then arrives to report that some of Masamune's retainers were taken hostage by a shrewd man named Hisahide Matsunaga, who demands to possess Masamune's six dragon claw swords and Takeda's shieldless armor in exchange for their lives. While Kojuurou suggests to sacrifice the retainers and ignore this threat, Masamune, who just woke up and heard everything, wants to save his retainers instead. Kojuurou challenges Masamune to a battle, already knowing he is in no condition to fight, yet the latter accepts. Kojuurou ends the bout by promptly knocking him out after hitting him square on his wounds. Even so, Kojuurou decides to bring back the retainers safely in honor of Masamune's wish. Takeda questions why Yukimura would let Kojuurou go alone, and after making Yukimura to see the error of his ways, Takeda orders him to aid the rescue and bring the armor back for sure.
