Episode Description:
The rest of the troupe are relieved that Kotoha will be fine after she gets some rest. Yojiro, who is still alive, enters Goryōkaku, where he faces Kakunojo in a fruitless struggle of a duel, while Sotetsu watches nearby. Meanwhile, Enomoto has an internal battle with the Head of the Conqueror, who wants the Eternal Assassin destroyed. As Kakunojo prepares to stab Yojiro with her sword, he grasp onto it and takes it away, finally undoing their curse and releasing the Head of the Conqueror from Enomoto. However, Sotetsu summons the Head of the Conqueror to be his new vessel. While the five old sorcerers continue wreaking havoc upon the earth, Yojiro fights Sotetsu. After Yojiro stabs Sotetsu, the Head of the Conqueror is released, allowing Yojiro the opportunity to finally seal it. Sotetsu dies after saying that Yojiro is as strong-willed as Ryoma. On May 18, second year of Meiji, Goryōkaku falls and the Boshin War ends. Two months later, Yojiro and Kakunojo leave their Moon Tear Swords inside Lord Shoten's shrine. The Yuyama Troupe resume performing, as Kakunojo says farewell to Yojiro, who is going away on business while thinking about Ryoma's vision of world exploration.
