### Chapter 20[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Yaiba_Volume_3&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Chapter 20")]
The thunder god [Raijin](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin (page does not exist)") slowly gains complete control over [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane")'s body, telling [Musashi Miyamoto](/wiki/Musashi_Miyamoto "Musashi Miyamoto") and [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine"), as well as [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda") and his [minions](/wiki/index.php?title=Oni_Minions&action=edit&redlink=1 "Oni Minions (page does not exist)") that he won't tolerate anyone standing in his way, announcing to destroy them. Musashi concludes that there's only one way to protect everyone present: to cooperate with Gerozaemon and kill Yaiba before he fully becomes possessed by the demon like [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") did, which would destroy the universe.
After a heated battle, Musashi hits against the crossguard of the [Raijin-ken](/wiki/index.php?title=Raijin-ken&action=edit&redlink=1 "Raijin-ken (page does not exist)"), which seems to lose an orb which was stuck in there that seems to contain the thunder god, freeing Yaiba the instant it gets disconnected from the sword. [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") takes it and starts to argue loudly with Yaiba, who obstinately wants to have it back to be able to beat Gerozaemon. In the end he manages to beat the frog man anyway by a certain whistling, which attracts lots of snakes who are crawling all around Gerozaemon, who, as a frog, is extremely afraid of them. His minions escape and Yaiba and his friends manage to take him hostage, dragging him back to Musashi's house.
Back there, Yaiba still persuades Sayaka to give him back the thunder god's orb, which she continues to decline.

### Chapter 21[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Yaiba_Volume_3&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Chapter 21")]
It's starting to snow in [Tokyo](/wiki/Tokyo "Tokyo"). Just when its citizens are enjoying it, [Takeshi Onimaru](/wiki/Takeshi_Onimaru "Takeshi Onimaru") appears over [Minato](/wiki/Minato "Minato") with his [airship](/wiki/index.php?title=Onimaru%27s_airship&action=edit&redlink=1 "Onimaru's airship (page does not exist)") and destroys the [Tokyo Tower](/wiki/Tokyo_Tower "Tokyo Tower") to prove his power and subjugate all of [Japan](/wiki/Japan "Japan").
Meanwhile on [Mount Tengu](/wiki/index.php?title=Mount_Tengu&action=edit&redlink=1 "Mount Tengu (page does not exist)"), it also started to snow and [Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane"), [Kagetora](/wiki/Kagetora "Kagetora") and [Shonosuke](/wiki/Shonosuke "Shonosuke") are playing outside, before Yaiba wants to drag the captured [Gerozaemon](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda") outside to punish him for everything he did, but then gets scolded by [Sayaka](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") for being way too energetic and violent. While a new argument arises, a strange young lady appears at Musashi's house who gets welcomed to stay inside and warm herself in the cottage. Gerozaemon quickly realizes who she really is before she makes the mistake of grabbing into the open fire without flinching, deciding to give up the masquerade and reveal herself.
