Kurima Raizo, um samurai fiel à seu daimyo reflete sobre o que fez depois de terminar uma missão indesejada, enquanto conversa com um completo estranho que parece se compadecer com sua dor.

Depois de executar sua vingança, Kurima Raizo encontra-se sem rumo, mas Usui Yuen tem uma proposta.

Raizo acaba ficando em Nagasaki e Yuen resolve arranjar um local para ele ficar, mas alguém não gostou nada dessa ideia.

Algumas crianças que vivem nas montanhas começaram a sumir de forma misteriosa, mas Yuen infelizmente tem ideia de quem deve estar fazendo isso.

After presenting their drawings and a potential source of income, Raizo and Soji are attacked on their way back.

Raizo still has not come to terms with the matter of Matsumine and his homeland. Meanwhile, there are other opium-related problems.

Yuen guides Raizo to the shelter where he began his activities to allow him to explore this path more fully, but the ronin shows signs of insecurity, though he is flattered. Is the life of an artist really for him? Faced with this difficult choice, he dwells on the past.

Due to the appearance of the third group, Raizo and the others will have to save Liu's life. And therefore they will know why the Chinese sought opium.

After Liu's death, Soji and everyone else are in danger due to a mysterious threat. Meanwhile, Yuen begins to have many doubts.

Raizo and the others remain under Shishido's behest of a group of revengers from another region as they try to uncover more details about Satsuma's opium.

The Nagasaki revengers decide to settle the opium case with Shishido once and for all and make a risky move.
