Someone says, "You said that we were protected by Oden," but another admits, "Even if that's true... it's hard to suddenly change your mind!!" Shinobu is grabbed by Fukurokuju's men, yet she refuses to obey anymore. Fukurokuju says, "The 'truth' only brings confusion, Shinobu. The lord idiot who rebelled against the Shogun will die." Shinobu answers that if this is how the sentence will be executed, she is ready to die with the Kozuki. She declares, "I am a vassal of Oden-sama and I will live or die like him!! I don't obey you anymore!!"
