My lord, we really should go back!
That's enough from you, Tsunamoto.
I've entrusted the castle to Kojuurou.
However, if Lord Ieyasu were to do something unpleasant in my lord's absence...
It's all because of that useless old man.
Now I have to go instead.
More importantly, that guy sent the shrine maiden he's been harbouring to Izumo.
Sanada Yukimura... He seems to know more than I thought.
For Sanada and my lord to go so far... Just what is in Izumo?
A Kushimitama.
Kushimitama?
The vestiges of a god's soul left somewhere in this world.
A god?
For someone who loves foreign things like Buddha or Kannon,
I'm sure you won't get it.
What do you intend to do with this god's soul?
I will obtain it, and turn the world upside down.
Upside down?
I will cause the wind to blow!
My lord is trying to command the winds and the clouds of this world.
He is truly...
...the Rising Dragon of Oshu.

THE FOURTH
SOULS
OF THE
GODS
Is that the Shrine of Izumo?
Yeah.
I'm glad that we made it here safely.
But is there really anything left?
It's all burnt down.
It's all rubble as far as I can see...
Sorry.
In any case, let's go take a look!
He must really want what he was looking for to go so far...
In any case, shall we split up and search?
We don't know what we're looking for though.
Keep your eye out for anything strange.
Isanami?
Hey.
Isanami!
Yes!
Then... I'll go search over there.
Hey!
Don't wander off on your own!
I'll scream if anything happens!
I'll look around this area, you go after Isanami.
If anything happens, I'll let off a shot.
Geez, that girl...
This pillar was a beautiful red one.
The wall was bright green,
and the room here used to be multicoloured...
Isanami is awesome!
She's really only good at the Kugura dance.
Sisters...
In the future, you will be the best dancer in Izumo.
High priest...
They're all...
Isanami!
I told you it's dangerous to wander off on your own.
There's nothing over here.
Seems like it.
You should go and search somewhere else.
What?
Weren't you the one who always wanted to be by my side?
Hey.
I was really scared to see Izumo.
Because if I didn't see it, I could still hold some hope.
Maybe someone survived and was waiting to welcome me back with a smile.
But they're really all gone, aren't they?
It's so painful...
Your nose!
Wipe your face.
It's dirty.
Thank you...
Yeah.
They should be in Izumo about now.
Won't they be targeted, since Isanami is with them?
Probably.
Since you still sent them, you must have some kind of reason...
A reason?
There is something in Izumo.
And despite the fact that she ran away from there, you still had to send Isanami,
as if you expected something to happen.
There are things in Izumo that only people from Izumo will know about.
That's all there is to it.
I will replace this.
However, you must be thinking that they might encounter someone along the way, right?
Who will it be this time?
Say, Saizou.
Why Izumo?
Why not Kasuga or Ise?
Why here?
That's what we're here to find out.
That's right.
It won't bring back the dead.
And it won't change what has already happened.
But at least we can find out why it happened.
Yeah.
It's not going to ease your grief.
But as the sole survivor, this is what you must do with all your might, isn't it?
Thank you, Saizou!
Don't hug me!
Let go!
Just for a while!
You're the only one I have left that can make me feel safe and calm!
Huh?!
But if what we are looking for isn't here, it would still be peaceful.
That was Kakei-san!
Kakei-san!
Did something happen?
Absolutely nothing.
Didn't you say you'd fire off a shot if something happened?
I wanted to tell you guys that I found nothing.
Ah, right.
I've searched every nook and cranny of this place,
but everything has been burnt down.
This won't lead to anything then.
What's wrong?
Why hasn't this thing been burnt down?
It seems to be made from copper.
It's probably resistant to fire.
Even so, there should at least be soot.
Saizou?
What's this?
Did you find something?
Doesn't it look like something?
Me too!
Show me as well!
That's it!
It's a Yin-Yang symbol!
However...
However?
Compared to the real Yin-Yang symbol, it seems crooked.
Hey, show it to me!
Seems to be some sort of mechanism.
Yeah.
If we make it the right shape, maybe it'll open.
You're saying that these stones can be moved?
Hey, come on.
Don't strain yourself.
I'm a disgrace.
I think this moves.
Moves?
That's impossible.
That's what I just tried to...
I think the only one that moves is the one in the middle...
Hey, can I give it a try?
Yeah.
How come I know?
I know this?
What?
It opened!
It's pretty deep.
I heard that a long time ago, there were stairs in Izumo which were said to be 48 metres high and extended to heaven.
Stairs that extended to heaven?
But these stairs seem to be in the opposite direction.
Then these stairs lead to hell?
Don't be ridiculous, there's no such thing as stairs that lead to heaven or hell.
Saizou, you don't believe it?
Even if I died, I thought we would be bound together in hell.
Just stay in that world and shut up.
What do you mean?!
Hey, we've arrived.
Seems like a dead end.
We came all this way, and there's nothing here.
Wait!
Something is written over there.
Huh?
What's this?
I think it's the Izumo language.
The Izumo language?
Can you read it?
Nope.
If you can't read it, then we can't do anything.
Saizou?
Seems like you've found it.
Thank you.
You saved me the trouble.
Who are you?
Dammit.
Well then, won't you hand over the Kushimitama?
Kushimitama?
Yes.
It's your own special charm.
Please carry it with you always.
My own charm?
Don't ever take it off.
That means what he's after is my hairpin?
So it really was a bomb.
Here I was wondering what it was.
So it's a hairpin, huh?
Well then, won't you give it to me?
Who's handing over anything?
Do you think you can just order us around?
We're surrounded.
What?!
What's that light?
Snakes!
Dammit!
Don't do that, Kakei-san.
Those snakes explode when they die!
What?!
I can't even cut them?!
I would've done so already if we could.
Damn!
Leave that grumpy one to me.
Insect Puppet Secret Technique: Snake Egg Cocoon.
Kakei-san!
My hairpin is...
Hey!
You idiot!
Stop spacing out!
Hey!
I'm the reason why the high priest and my sisters...
If you're going to stand in the way of my job...
Just like at Ueda Castle, I will show no mercy.
He's still as repulsive as always.
I am... It's my fault...
We can't back off now!
I missed by a hair, eh?
How much longer can you evade?
L-Let me go!
It's futile.
You are inside my technique; I am in control.
An illusionist?
Well then, I'll take my time licking you.
So slow.
Don't bore me.
I thought you had more than this.
Let's end this!
I'm not done yet!
Serves you right!
You... You brat!
And now it's symmetrical.
Where shall I go next?
Will you stop this shameful act!
Shameful?
It is not befitting for women to mount men!
What a stiff person.
It's so much fun making men like you cry.
Secret Technique: Pure Flame Samadhi.
Saizou...
Crap.
Stop!
I don't want anyone to die because of me!
No! Saizou!
Don't screw with me.
Who's going to die?
There's no way I can die!
Saizou...
What can you do in that pitiable state?
It's over.
This wind!
Who gave you permission to play with my toy?
I'll kill you!
"My toy"?
I mercilessly fought this guy with my life on the line!
The only one who can send him flying, covered in blood, is me!
The only one who's allowed to kill me, when it comes to that, is him!
Pervert...
I don't want to hear that from you, you and your disgusting, masked face.
You didn't think that would get me, did you?
Idiot, look behind you!
Damn you!
Your slicing pisses me off!
Idiot!
Your way of fighting sucks!
What?!
Why do I have to take shit from you?
If you don't want to die together, back me up!
Why are you giving me orders?
When this is over, I'll play with you until you cry!
Just work with me for a bit.
Until I cry?
Really?
All right! Let's go!
Geez, what an inelegant person.
I can move.
Because of that wind, the illusion was interrupted!
Doing that while I was holding you... you sneaky man.
I'm the snake charmer, Oukatsu!
I can crush you with my arms and legs,
which are as strong as a snake's.
You won't be able to fire like this.
Prepare yourself.
To shoot through yourself...
Why?
Such a resolute man.
Yuri's Kusarigama Technique: Palm of the Wind God.
I'm ending this!
Attack!
I did it!
Because you were so bad, I had to waste energy... pointlessly...
Shut up... Your backup was lousy...
I'm sorry.
Everyone got injured because of me.
It's nothing.
Besides, this guy flew out of nowhere on his own.
Don't worry about him.
Huh?! Say again?
You guys are still alive because of me!
But...
It's good that you're not hurt.
The destruction of Izumo, all of it, is also my fault.
It's not your fault... That hairpin is the cause of this.
To think that those guys were after that...
This hairpin... Kushimitama...
So that's it!
Stop it!
Who are you?
Date Masamune!
Date Masamune?
Oshu's?
Let me go!
Isanami!
Saizou!
Go back and tell your lord this:
The Kushimitama now belongs to Date Masamune!
Wait!
Saizou! Saizou!
Dammit!

Hey, Saizou. When?
What?
You said you will play with me till I cry.
When?
I'm ready whenever!
This isn't the time... Read the mood, we need to recover...
Recover!
That's right!
Fighting you when you've recovered is way more fun!
I'll leave it to you to get ready!
Come prepared!
What's up with this guy? So annoying.
