Episode Title:
The Secret Sword Resonates.
Episode Description:
Kakunojo catches up to Yojiro in a forest, not long before she breaks one of her sandals. Okoma, one of three traveling geishas passing by, lends Kakunojo a replacement sandal before they depart. Yojiro and Kakunojo stay at the Utsunomiya Inn, where they run into the three geishas. The three perform on their shamisens in front of the guests, inviting Kakunojo to participate in dance. Okoma gives Yojiro a letter written by Lord Shoten, urging Yojiro to run off without telling Kakunojo. Under a red shining star at night, Yojiro finds a secret cave hidden inside a waterfall, which leads to an underground shrine where the Head of the Conqueror was once sealed in the past. As Yojiro is outmatched against ghost warriors, Kakunojo finally traces Yojiro to the underground shrine. She becomes drawn to a second Moon Tear Sword left at the altar and grasps it, causing light to emit from Yojiro's sword. This allows Yojiro to cut through the ghost warriors. After Yojiro then destroys the helmet left at the altar, he and Kakunojo make their escape as the shrine is destroyed from the inside. Kakunojo decides to join Yojiro in his path.
