Meanwhile, the mysterious man drops Tōma and Chōbei down a pit of blooming human corpses. The tree man proves that the elixir does exist by breaking a part of its hand and shows it regenerating. Gabimaru then points his sword towards the girl wondering if she also benefits from the elixir but Sagiri and Yuzuriha criticizes him for his rude behavior. The tree man proceeds to explain that escape from the island is impossible and the gods will be the ones to cast judgement on them. Meanwhile, Tenza and Nurugai fail to find a current to escape but are approach by an unknown woman who is angered by the amount of Sōshin corpses she discovers on the island.
