第 22 集: 城陣的敗北導致信長復活與孔雀的背叛。
Joujin prepares to kill both Hachiro and Hibiki, while Rui and Utsutsu lie dying on the giant stairway. Hadaebou attacks Kujaku while Hachiro attacks Joujin. Suddenly illusions created by Rui and Utsutsu confuse Joukin, opening him to Hibiki's attack. Wounded, Joujin advances on Hibiki, only to be stabbed from behind by Kujaku. Kukaku recalls in 1582 when he was called Ranmaru, as his master Nobunaga's compound went up in flames, Nobunaga gave him the name Kujaku and bid him live on to keep his dream of conquest alive. Kujaku still serves his original master, and as Joujin's blood falls on the skull of Nobunaga, Kujaku places it on the body of Tadanaga and Nobunaga is resurrected. The dying Joujin is pleased that his plan came to fruition, however Nobunaga dismisses him and does not recognize Kujaku. Just then, Namemba arrives and triggers a series of explosions to destroy the Murakumo, but Kujaku's Inverted Halberd of Time reverses the explosions. This time, Rinne Magoroku cuts the fuses to prevent the explosions reoccurring, but suddenly Nobunaga stabs Kujaku with his katana, declaring that he is not as beautiful as his former Ranmaru.
