Chapter 117 of the Jigokuraku manga.
Summary[]
Seeing as how the flames are too strong for everyone but him to jump onboard, Gabimaru approaches Rien and Shugen alone. Shugen takes note of the setting in front of him and compares it to the past portrait he and Eizen looked at depicting hell. He then announces that he will strongly face off against his hellish foes, which Gabimaru commented on after using the word "hell", while Rien on the other hand found her situation with them to be irritating. The three then clash ferociously on the ship. Rien blocks Gabimaru's attack and tells him that she will not allow him to damage the ship any further and will use everything they have to kill him while stomping their foot on the ninja. Rien sees Shugen about to attack her from behind and uses her fan to counter. Shugen anticipates her attack using Tao and comes in to strike using Shion's Wood Tao. However, Rien stands on the tip of Shugen's sword, tells him that, as a Tensen, a human such as himself will not be able to harm her, and sends him back with an invisible Tao attack. Gabimaru sees that Rien is a lot more powerful than Zhu Jin and Ran but remembers from his conversation with Jikka earlier that as long as Rien's priority is keeping the ship intact he will be able to hold his own. Rien then becomes shocked to see her tanden slightly cut and sees that it was done by Sagiri, who boarded the ship after remembering that Gabimaru will need her help since her Wood Tao will harm Rien. After Nurugai makes a point that their best chances at survival is fighting together, the survivors (with the exception of Jikka) all decide to board Rien's ship. Rien states that a gathering of humans will do nothing to stop her, but is told by Gabimaru that they will do whatever it takes to survive and return home. Meanwhile on the survivors' ship, Jikka lays down, while in support of his comrades, and says that he will do his job of guarding the ship.
