He tells the retainers that Oden will one day be the shogun of Wano, and the people who support him through it all must be the best samurai in the entire country. A servant's duty is to protect their master, but Yasuie pushes further: "All of you must make yourselves the capital's... No... the entire country's... guardians!!!" Three years later, thirty years before the present, the Flower Capital hears that the daimyo of Kuri and his followers are visiting. Some still dismiss them, saying, "Lord Oden and his retainers are thugs, after all," while others prepare to hide their money. Meanwhile, the little mountain boar is being corralled: "Wait there, Mr. Mountain!!" "Mountain Jr.! Get in the crate!!" Page 12: When Oden's party arrives in the Flower Capital, the old rumors collapse before what the people see. Someone cries, "Look! The party from Kuri has arrived!" Another asks, "Oh my!! What? They are... his samurai...?" The crowd wonders whether Oden's retainers were always so dignified, and some think it almost looks like a shogun's procession. Their majestic and dignified appearance takes the onlookers' breath away. At the castle, Oden's father is moved too: "Yo, Dad!!" Oden calls, and Sukiyaki answers, "Oden!! You have grown into a fine man, indeed!!" Oden says, "If I have become a fine man, it is thanks to you... But I am not sure I have changed one bit." Oden visits after hearing his father has fallen ill, and when he sees Sukiyaki's energy, his worries disappear. The narration says this was the last time the two would ever speak.
