Chapter 107 of the Jigokuraku manga.
Summary
In a past memory, Yui explains to Gabimaru how to prepare chestnuts. After Gabimaru questions the point behind it, Yui tells him that she wanted to try something normal that wasn't quite offered to her in Iwagakure. The two then sit down together to eat chestnut rice which Yui says that she found to be "very delicious and sweet". Gabimaru wonders if it was since he says that his sense of taste has lowered. Yui then tells him that by saying it out loud it can allow one to imagine the taste. In the present, Gabimaru manages to grievous inflict damage to Shija who now sees that he is now fighting at full strength since he is no longer being held back by the flowers within him. Gabimaru says that he has not lost his battle instincts and that the battlefield for him has changed, referring to his memories of how he could not understand his wife's struggle for a sense of normalcy at the time. Shija then sees Gabimaru's "love", which they noticed has no clear signs of weaknesses, and attacks with everything that was taught to them by him. After using Ninpō: Fire Monk, Shija comes in to stab Gabimaru's heart. Gabimaru applauses Shija for their attack, explaining that if he was still human they would have successfully killed him. However, he also tells Shija that he does not plan to die in order to return home and holds on to them as he activates Ninpō: Fire Monk Maximum Fire Power.
