ack to the 1st floor roof. Kanjuurou discovers the stairs to the 1st floor roof. Kiku and Kinemon reaches Momonosuke and Shinobu. Momonosuke is still in pain. Shinobu notices a Mary frog watching them, so now Kaidou's men know where they are.
Momonosuke: "Kinemon... I have to... tell everyone..."
Kanjuurou appears disguised as Oden again. Shinobu is in shock, Momonosuke cries becouse he thinks that guy is his real father. Kiku attacks him.
Kiku: "You can't fool me again this time!!
Everyone already sees through it!”
But in the last second Kanjuurou replies her (with Oden's face).
Kanjuurou: "Can you really do it, Kiku? I was the one who raised you and Izou, remembers?"
Kiku's hand trembles for a second and Kanjuurou stabs her. Kiku apologizes to Kinemon.
Kiku: "Sorry, Kinemon...
Since the lingering snow is melting away, the dawn must be near…”
Kinemon is enraged and cuts down Kanjuurou with one attack (this double page is amazing). Kanjuurou laughs.
Kanjuurou: "It's fitting that you be the one that close the curtain...
Since, on the stage, you and me were the closest friends!!"
With tears in his eyes, Kanjuurou falls to the ground, seemingly dead.
Suddenly Kaidou bursts into the room. Shinobu takes Momonosuke away while Kinemon stands and blocks Kaidou with his swords. In the final double spread Kinemon takes Kaidou's kanabo attack (Kaidou uses "Color of the Supreme King" Haki in the kanabo). One of Kinemon swords breaks, we can’t see what happened with him. Momonosuke cries while Shinobu gets away from Kaidou…
Momonosuke: “Kinemon…!!!”
