Synopsis

Pursued by the Nobuseri, Kambei divided the company into three parties, each taking a separate path to Kanna Village. He himself led Kikuchiyo, Katsushiro, and Komachi. Gorobei, Heihachi, and Rikichi followed another route, while Shichiroji, Kyuzo, and Kirara set off on a third. Yet, Kirara remained wary of Kyuzo, her trust in his intentions far from complete.
