Sui suddenly calls Taiyo to tell him Shirasagi was kidnapped. Yoshimasu uses another bomb to escape. At the Yozakura house, the siblings, except Kyoichiro, all worry about Taiyo. Sui decides to inform Taiyo that Yoshimasu is actually a legendary spy called Kurogao. Kurogao suddenly appears on television with the kidnapped Shirasagi and demands he confess his crimes to the public. Taiyo stops the broadcast but is defeated by Kurogao's knowledge of his Yozakura techniques. He explains to Taiyo that six years ago, Shirasagi and other corrupt politicians tried to assassinate him but only succeeded in killing his daughter Yuri. For revenge, he targeted them as Yoshimasu. Despite knowing the pain of losing his family, Taiyo decides to stop him. Meanwhile, Sui easily defeats the triplets but panics as his instincts suddenly detect a terrifying presence nearby. Kurogao is captured when Taiyo suddenly switches from Yozakura techniques to Sui's signature sword style, Walking on Flowers, which Taiyo has now mastered. Out of respect, Kurogao decides to tell Taiyo about his family, but he is suddenly shot by an unseen person. Before dying, he passes Taiyo a map to Yuri's grave where Taiyo retrieves a hidden box before returning home.
