Momiji expectantly accepts her defeat and pleads Seimei to see worth in her strength. Shuten Doji appears and accuses Seimei's actions towards Momiji. He challenges Seimei in order to protect Momiji. Ibaraki Doji brightens up at the idea of battling to Shuten Doji but Shuten denies it. Momiji defends Seimei as Shuten insulted him. Seimei states he understands Shuten Doji's hatred but reminds him that he was attacking a man who did not know his crime. Shuten Doji refuses to tell Seimei the full story and threateningly instructs him to ask Momiji's follower instead. Seimei realises Momiji is too blinded by love.
