Jinbei's flower team advances steadily. Meanwhile the snow team, the Magistrate's party, reaches the eternal well. Kirigakure Saizou then reveals his true self and begins a one on one fight with Mugai.

The fourth battle of Wakayama Castle is between Ichinotani Tenma and Anayama Kosuke. Anayama says "Justice" a lot. He attacks Tenma with his warped sense of justice. A badly wounded Tenma continues to fight, hoping for just one thing: to meet the father and mother he's never seen.

The Miyoshi brothers have powerful regenerative capabilities. They say that taking life is offering salvation, and in them Shungiku sees his own younger self. Oooka, who knows the old Shungiku, is doubtful he can win the battle.

Jinbei heads to meet the lord of Kishuu, but he finds Hibachi instead. The party meets with the rest of the City Patrol group and enjoys a brief rest. But the time limit is drawing nigh, and just when the Ten Crucifix Insects attack the people of Kishuu...

Jinbei is chased and captured by the people of Kishuu at the order of Sanada Yukimura. The village of Iwamatsu, where he is kept, is attacked by bandits, and he wins the hearts of the people by chasing them off. However, there is only a brief moment of rest. Two of the ten crucifix insects, the Rokurou Combo, take a girl hostage!

The Insect Magistrate heads to Kishuu to recover her lost powers. Oooka Tadasuke, Edo's smartest man, accompanies her as her guard. Jinbei goes as well, but Oooka is upset by his failings as a Samurai. And then Nezu Jinpachi, one of the 10 Crucifix Insects, appears!

Sanada Yukimura's 10 Crucifix Insects attack one village after another. The Insect Magistrate rushes to Edo Castle, where she discovers a secret in Nagatomimaru's room. And the secret past of Jinbei's father Genjuro, and how he met Jinbei's mother, is revealed!

A mysterious insect man, Sarutobi Sasuke, appears in Edo. The city is in danger but the City Patrol Group is nowhere to be found. The Shrine and Samurai House patrol groups fight back, but are overwhelmed. Just when everything seems lost to his speedy attacks...!?

Osono the journalist plans to write an expose about the Insect Magistrates and knows she will get her big scoop at the women’s bath.

Cornered by Sougan, the strongest of the Insect Hunters, attacks the Insect Magistrate but seconds before death an unfamiliar Jinbei awakens.

The Insect Magistrate is confused by Jinbei’s actions; is he friend or foe? Jinbei continues his fight against the hunters but the difference in skill is obvious.

The Insect Magistrate is in danger and all military groups must set out! But as the groups set off a bug attacks Edo and Jinbei must decide to save the town or follow orders.
