Oden yells, "Run!!!" and Kin'emon orders, "To Kuri!!" as they sprint away with their bodies still smoking. Shinobu is cut loose in the chaos and calls after them. The execution ground turns into confusion while Kaido's men fire and pursue. The Scabbards do not have time to grieve; Oden has bought them seconds, and every second now belongs to Wano's future. Page 11: Kaido orders the total erasure of the Kozuki name: "Kill them all!!!" and "Make the name Kozuki disappear forever!" The retainers run, and Oden calls after them, "Do not underestimate my samurai!!" One of them shouts, "Turn around, don't look back!!" even as they cry, "Oden-sama!!" Kaido speaks to Oden with a grim respect: "Whatever your ambitions, your body is already dead. But the least I can do is finish it myself as a sign of respect. The age of Kozuki will now end!! You will all die..." Oden, however, has already turned death into a command for survival.
