Shinsuke plans to attack a local group of brigands.

Shinsuke is shocked to learn the katawara's true origins.

Jinka pours his fury out on the Dangaisyuu temple, prompting the local leaders to discuss moving operations elsewhere; Tama tells Shinsuke and Shakugan a little more about herself and Jinka's spirit transformation.

Shinsuke and Shakugan are staying with Jinka and Tama, but Shinsuke isn't learning much in the way of fighting skills; Shinsuke is left behind to do chores when Tama and Jinka are informed of trouble with a local katawara.

Shinsuke starts training with Zanzou; Zanzou tells Shinsuke about his sister.

Raidou leaves the party, but not without giving Shinsuke a surprising gift first; the journey to Kagan's home is long, and the others are exhausted when they cross paths with a group of monkey katawara.
