The episode begins with a conversation between Tama, Jinka, and Shinsuke. Raidou introduces Shinsuke to the magical sword Arabuki. Arabuki is a sword that controls the wind and has been passed down through the Raidou family. Raidou explains that he wishes to serve Yoshiteru Ashikaga, the shogun, to atone for his sister's actions. Shinsuke agrees to accept the sword and Raidou's request to ensure that Jinun does not escape justice.
The group sets out for Kagan's house to discuss the upcoming battle against the dragon man and the use of the Arabuki sword. They encounter a group of Shoujou, monkey-like Katawara known for their love of alcohol, and Tama negotiates for sake. They meet Douren the Tiger, a member of the Dangaisyuu, who tells them his story of how he befriended the Shoujou and fought against a tiger-like Katawara.
A drinking contest ensues between the group and Douren. Despite his size and drinking prowess, Douren eventually gives up the competition. Douren speaks of his rivalry with Jinun and reveals Jinun's weakness for spicy food. The group continues their journey and comes across a barrier blocking their path to a village. Tama enters the barrier to negotiate with Fukou, the Katawara responsible for the field, who wishes to protect the village from change.
Fukou and Tama discuss the concept of protection and change. Tama convinces Fukou to lower the barrier by explaining the importance of moving with the times. Meanwhile, Jinka fights Resshin, another member of the Dangaisyuu, outside the barrier and manages to defend himself without transforming into a spirit.
After the barrier falls, the group walks through the village, reflecting on the events and the sad fate of the Katawara and the village. The episode ends with the group arriving in the village of Sougan, where they are greeted by Daigan, another Katawara.
