In this episode, Jinka witnesses the soul emanation of a human and discusses this phenomenon with the Mountain Goddess (MG), who sees no difference between humans and Katawara. After a brief encounter, Rinzu surrenders to Jinka, impressed by her perspective. The Mountain Goddess points out to Jinka that she still needs to practice to further relax her consciousness.

A pivotal moment arises when Shinsuke faces the moral dilemma of whether to kill Senya, a child with great potential and great danger. Despite the potential threat, Shinsuke decides against it, influenced by Senya's humanity.

As the story progresses, the Mountain Goddess explains that Jinka must confront the dragon repeatedly to learn how to survive despite overwhelming odds. This is part of her preparations for a strategic move against the dragon, which involves trapping him in a field for a few days while striking elsewhere.

Tama decides to face the dragon directly, believing this to be her best chance with the Mountain Goddess's support. The plan involves a tactical retreat to lure the dragon into the goddess's cave, allowing her to intervene divinely. The confrontation escalates when Jinka manifests a fifth tail, signaling an increase in her spiritual power. A fierce battle ensues, in which Jinka employs a powerful technique, but it ends in a stalemate as she is severely injured.

In a surprising twist, Jinka's determination triggers a sixth tail, unleashing immense power. But before the battle can conclude, the Mountain Goddess intervenes, neutralizes the threat, and reveals the familial ties between Jinun and Senya.

At the end of the episode, the Mountain Goddess heals Jinka's wounds but hints at a future cost for her manipulations.
