  Yuya confronts Kyo about the death of her brother, asking whether or not he or Kyoshiro killed him. Kyo tells Yuya to ask Kyoshiro when they find Kyo's body. In the meanwhile, a new member of the 12 God Generals is introduced. This androgynous member is named Basara, and claims Akira is a backstabber and could betray the group at any time. The group of Generals heads to meet their master, That Man, who is rehabilitating in the Sea of Trees, drinking blood from the corpses of those who inhabit the Sea. That Man is excited about a reunion with Kyo, and looks forward to Kyo's blood. Elsewhere, Okuni and Benitora encounter yet another new General, Gihyo (Jesting Leopard), who trained under the same master as Benitora. Gihyo repeatedly uses a certain trick to lull away Benitora's consciousness, and move around to a good attack position. Benitora sees through the trick however, wounds himself to prevent himself from losing consciousness, and kills Gihyo. Kyo and Yuya then find a cave which they believe may house Kyo's body. Kyo however realizes that they aren't deep enough in the Sea of Trees to have found the cave, and is able to call out the General trying to trick them, the Marionette Master, Kubira. Kubira continues having his marionettes attack Kyo, knowing that Kyo can only fight for 10 minutes. When the 10 minutes are up, however, Kyo suddenly erupts with newfound power. As Kubira is quickly defeated and Kyo loses consciousness, Yuya wonders if the man she just saw was not Kyo but Kyoshiro. Fishing above a river, Yukimura tells two of his 10 Braves of his intention to go help Kyo, not wanting Kyo to die before he can kill him. Yukimura sends one of his Braves, Sasuke, ahead to the Sea of Trees, as he goes to a house where Sakuya, who can read the stars, awaits. Kubira, still alive, is killed for knowing too much by Akira, who claims that he is the only one who knows everything about Kyo. Afterwards, Yuya meets Sasuke Sarutobi, who wields the same Murumasa blade as Kyo, and also has similar eyes. As Sasuke reveals he was raised in the Sea of Trees, Yuya wonders if his similarities to Kyo mean that Kyo was raised there as well. Just then, Kyo awakens with a message from Kyoshiro... Goodbye, Yuya-san.
