====Subspecies Singularity III: Shimosa====
Houzouin Inshun is defeated by Saber of Empireo and cursed by Ashiya Douman after fighting the Swordmasters to let Ritsuka Fujimaru, Miyamoto Musashi, Onui, and Tasuke escape. After his corruption, he confronts his former compaions as they continue escaping. He reintroduces himself by his Cursed Name: Lancer of Purgatorio. Musashi fights him when he targets the children for killing. She decapitates him, but he gets up and reattaches his head. The group escape to the village, hide in a nearby haystack. Inshun tries to antagonize Musashi by massacring the village. Afterwards, he massacred the villages to the north and the west.Fate/Grand Order - Shimosa Province: The Stage of Rivers of Blood and Mountains of Corpses, Section 3: Purgatorio (Ending)
He comes to the hermitage and attacks Senji Muramasa. Muramasa dodges and destroys Inshun’s upper body with a single blow. Inshun regenerates and boasts there isn’t any technique nor blade that can reach the Spiritual Core of a Swordmaster. Regenerating from another attack, he reveals what he did before coming to the hermitage. He claims his body is now a puppet controlled by karma, so only his complete destruction will stop him. Musashi then challenges Inshun to a duel to reach the apex of her mastery. Inshun responds by casting a spell similar to a reality marble, a field of corpses where the loser’s soul will be consumed. Thanks to Myoujingiri Muramasa, Musashi was able to reach Inshun’s Spiritual Core and kill him.

In this form, his defense became impenetrable and his movements as quick as lighting. Despite his power having been greatly increased, he still doesn't compare to Senji Muramasa's, who was fast enough to dodge Purgatorio's spear, and counter at the same time with his Sword Trial Art, blowing up his entire upper body apart in the process. However, in this state, Inshun also gained immortality, allowing him to survive decapitation and even Muramasa's attack.
Purgatorio is also able to cast a spell similar to a Reality Marble of a field of corpses where the loser's soul will be consumed. When Mushashi, in her mind's eye, faced him in a no-holds-barred duel 32 times, he defeated her in 31. In order to defeat him, Mushsahi needed the aid of the will of the heavens, the laws of this world, Fujimaru's help, and a final decisive factor: a final trump card, Senji Muramasa's finest katana, Myoujingiri Muramasa. With this special sword, Mushashi was able to reach his spirit core in the ether, destroying him in the process.
In Houzouin Inshun's interlude, Inshun battled Lancer of Purgatorio in a simulation and defeated him. According to Inshun, Purgatorio wastes a lot of his power in his strikes, leaving him vulnerable for counter attacks. Purgatorio relies on power that already exceeded his limits, failing to understand his own body. Although Purgatorio may have fared a bit better against an opponent with swords since that had been his focus as a Heroic Spirit Swordmaster, the rest is quite sloppy. He may had gained in one area, but he had lost much in others. Although his spear may have grown sharper, as a Lancer, he had grown weaker. Thus, he lost.Fate/Grand Order - Hozoin Inshun's Interlude
