Episode 12 Plot: As Togame bleeds to death, Shichika runs to her and holds her in her final moments as Emonzaemon walks away. She tells Shichika that she had the most fun with him and that she was glad to be dying in the middle of road since it meant she didn't have to kill him as that had been her intention at the start; the burden she had to carry. In her last words, she orders him to forget about her, the things that happened to her and to stop falling for her. Shichika pleads for her to stay but she asks with her last words if it was okay if she fell for him too. Shichika is left holding her dead body. Night falls and Princess Hitei is revealed to be Shikizaki Kiki’s descendant as she meets with the Shogun to tell him that the country would fall in a thousand years during which an intruder enters the castle. Shichika enters the main gate, quickly killing the first set of guards before doing the same for the next set. Fearing the worst, the Shogun send out his best men and Emonzaemon, armed with Shikizaki Kiki’s swords, to deal with the problem. Shichika goes face to face with the first swordsman and in mere seconds kills him and breaks Shikizaki’s sword before moving up to the next floor. This goes on for each floor he set up and every time he breaks each and every sword, leaving no survivors including Emonzaemon. When he gets to the final room, where the Shogun and Princess Hitei are waiting, he asks Hitei if she liked Togame. Hitei says that she didn’t dislike Togame and Shichika spares her in lieu of killing the man who sent Togame out on the suicidal mission of collecting the swords in the first place, killing the Shogun with Togame’s favorite line ‘cheerio’.
