== Plot ==
Just when [[Yaiba Kurogane]] breaks down and [[Soshi Okita]] walks past his friends to the finale because he believes he has won, Yaiba stands up again and prepares another attack. Sorely shocked and deeply impressed by Yaiba's perseverance and his will to win this fight, even in danger of his own death, Soshi asks him to stop and expresses his deepest respect. From his point of view, he has finally found in Yaiba Kurogane what he was looking for all the time: a worthy opponent. No matter how the fight would go on, neither of them would give in and be ready risk their own lives.

[[Musashi Miyamoto]] explains that the phantom swords Soshi sensed are the so-called "Tōjin", which manifest themselves in a battle between two swordmasters and become more numerous the more experienced they are. Soshi cedes his victory to Yaiba and technically gives up, which effectively enables Yaiba to reach the finale instead. After saying goodbye to Yaiba and his friends his joy in being a modern samurai is reinvigorated and he hopes to see him again one day for a rematch when he is stronger.

Yaiba and his friends enter the main arena of [[Yoroi Island]], greeted by a cheering crowd, where a 1 to 1 replica of the house [[Oda Nobunaga]] died in has been constructed. The group doesn't have much time to contemplate the surroundings, because all of a sudden, Yaiba's and [[Moroha Kurogane|Moroha's]] father, [[Kenjuro Kurogane]], shows up, too...
