Plot[]
Lord Tensen Arc[]
The Butterfly Dōshi appears behind the Centipede Dōshi after declaring that they will bring Mei back to Hōrai and turn Gabimaru and his group into Tan.
The two Dōshi confront Gabimaru and Gantetsusai.
The two Dōshi's summon a swarm of their respective insects and attack Gabimaru and Gantetsusai. After ending their brief battle, the Butterfly Dōshi listens as the Centipede Dōshi explains their reason for wanting Mei. Gabimaru reacts in frustration after hearing the Centipede Dōshi's disrespectful remarks. The Dōshi's start to take them seriously and perform a transformation using their insects.
The two Dōshi defeated.
The Butterfly Dōshi dodges an attack from Gantetsusai and attacks Gabimaru with a swarm of butterflies. After Gantetsusai warns Gabimaru that the butterflies were dangerous, Gabimaru expels out a torrent of fire to ignite them and to separate them. Later, Gabimaru charges and dodges the Dōshi's Tao attacks and dispels the Centipede Dōshi's transformation. Thinking that he let his guard down because of Gantetsusai, the Butterfly Dōshi sends out another Tao projectile towards Gabimaru and the Centipede Dōshi attacks with his centipede's. Gabimaru reacts quickly and kicks the centipedes towards the Butterfly Dōshi and Gantetsusai cuts down the Centipede Dōshi, defeating the duo.
