After Chōbei attacks Gabimaru, he counter attacks by snapping Chobe's neck, but after surviving and throwing Gabimaru to the ground, Mei warns Gabimaru that Chōbei had a large amount of Tao.

After several years passed since the Edo Period, Mei is revived back to her former child body and is shown wearing similar clothes as she did in the past.He grabs Yuzuriha by the leg and swings her towards Senta, explaining that through Tao he can sense whatever is around him. With her remaining Tao left, Yuzuriha ultimately was willing to risk her life to fulfill her task in killing Ran. From the moment they left for Kotaku, Yuzuriha became aware that Senta did not care much for his role as an executioner or the mission and took pity on him during his last moments by telling Senta that he no longer had to worry about his duties, while also offering him the last bit of freedom he had to think about whatever he found pleasant. He also suggests that they change their names and abandon their formers lives, which Yuzuriha connected to the I Ching she was warned about by Gui Fa. After confirming that Gabimaru has regained his memories and reviewing his experience with fighting Lord Tensen, Yuzuriha thinks it would be a good idea to escape the island and try reasoning with the shogun.
