He says, "I received Oden's letter. He asked me for help... because his wife and children are in danger...!!" He sits with Toki and the children, and asks about Momonosuke's age. Then he gives the grim instruction: "O-Toki, you must prepare yourself... If Oden is beaten... then it would be the end... of this country!!" The battle outside Wano's walls is not just a fight for Oden's pride; if he loses, Wano itself will lose its future. Page 8: Shinobu bursts into the battle, cutting through enemies and announcing herself with, "Forgive my impudence, but I came to your aid!!" Oden recognizes her and says, "Shinobu?!" She explains why she came: "You must have forgotten, but when lord Sukiyaki was still alive... I stayed on duty at the palace because I had faith in the return of the Kozuki family, but..." She has left the palace because Orochi's forces have finally swallowed it. The unexpected ally arrives not as a spy, but as someone whose loyalty to the Kozuki clan survived inside enemy walls.
