Little did anyone know that Osaku's incredible power held a dark secret. The young shugenja had found the prison of an Oni. She visited him regularly and obtained information about Jigoku's powers. This Oni was Nikoma no Oni, who later came to be called as The Maw. Osaku used this information added to what she had learned about Sacrificial Magic against him, channelling that power into a great wall of elemental water blocking the horde from gaining access to the Crab.
