Episode Title:
Ittoki the Ninja
Episode Description:
Kousetsu and Tokisada refuse to let Ittoki confront Kidou on his own and accompany him despite his protests. Upon entering the Koga tower, they are immediately attacked by a horde of Asuras. Ryoko and Kirei arrive to hold them off, with Kirei apologizing to Ittoki for her betrayal. The trio continue their way up the tower, with Tokisada and Suzaku staying behind to occupy more Koga ninja, though Suzaku is badly wounded in the process. Ittoki and Kousetsu confront Kidou in his office, where Ittoki wonders if Kidou was motivated by wanting to break free from the shackles of ninja society. However, Kidou admits he only wants to destroy all ninja on his own whim and for the sake of power. Unbeknownst to him, Ittoki has been secretly transmitting Kidou's confession to the NSC, who mobilize and storm the building. Kidou activates his own Ninja Core and attacks Ittoki and Kousetsu, though thanks to the Iga Ninja Core, Ittoki is able to defeat Kidou and leaves him to be apprehended by the NSC. Kidou attempts to use the opportunity to attack Ittoki, but Tokisada intervenes and kills Kidou right as Shione and the NSC arrive. Tokisada claims full responsibility for murdering Kidou before fleeing, and Shione has no choice but to declare him a fugitive. With Kidou dead and the Koga suppressed, the situation is put under control. Several years later, peace has returned to the ninja clans. Shione continues the manhunt for Tokisada, though Kozo believes he is merely protecting Iga from the shadows. Suzaku becomes the new head of the Koga clan and makes peace with Iga. Ryoko continues developing ninja gear while Kirei decides to become an actress. Finally, Ittoki and Kousetsu decide to move on and live normal lives, though Ittoki uses his ninja abilities to save a young boy from an oncoming train and playfully claims that ninja don't exist.
