Oden stands at the head of the group with the Nine Red Scabbards behind him, while Toki remains with Momonosuke and Hiyori. Momonosuke reads a book about swordsmanship, and the children watch their father leave. The mood is no longer humiliation or delay; Oden has chosen battle, and the samurai who followed him through disgrace now move as one. Page 2: Oden reaches the battlefield and finds Kaido waiting. Kaido says, "Here he is, what a surprise...!!" but Oden sees through the situation immediately. Kaido admits, "There might well be a spy inside your palace, Wororororo..." Oden explains that he was on his way to Kaido's deserted land to cut off his drunk head and that he did not plan an intense fight. Kaido answers that he does not want to transform his new home into a battlefield, so he came to meet Oden's group instead. The two forces face each other in the open, and the battle Oden tried to avoid has been forced upon him.
