Chapter 52 of the Jigokuraku manga.
Summary[]
After reaching the bottom of the valley and regenerating his limbs, Chōbei reflects on his actions during his fight with Gabimaru and takes note of the layout of Hōrai. He then spots a group of Sōshin and uses them to test out his Tao. Meanwhile, the remaining survivors relocate to a cave Gantetsusai found to remove themselves from Lord Tensen's sensory in Hōrai. After Gantetsusai comments on how Shion was scared of Lord Tensen for warning everyone to remain cautious, he receives judgement from Yuzuriha and Nurugai, having experience fighting one and describes how dangerous they are. Shion asked Gabimaru if he had fought one as well. Gabimaru answers yes and confirms to everyone that he has regained his memories. Having told his experience, Yuzuriha gives her opinion that it would be best for them to escape the island but Gabimaru objects stating that he needed the pardon to truly be with his wife. Hearing this, Yuzuriha tells Gabimaru of her theory of his wife being the result of genjutsu. Gabimaru is shocked to hear this but tells her that she is real based on the sensation being around her. Yuzuriha still doubts him since he is not be logical or showing any real proof. Gabimaru describes her and reveals her name, Yui, saying that this was the only proof he had and can only confirm her existence if he is able to return home. His confidence causes Sagiri to feel delighted and Gantetsusai to feel enthralled. Yuzuriha found it weird that a shinobi like Gabimaru can talk about his weakness but Shion adds in that the fact that he could sense Gabimaru's Tao growing proves that his wife is real and people who have something to lose are considered strong. After killing the Sōshin down in the valley, Chōbei is met by Rien who questions him if he was the one who killed Mu Dan.
