**Spoiler warning: *Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)***

Mikazuchi attacks Oshtor, asking him why he has the Akuruka and calls himself Oshtor. Eventually Mikazuchi overpowers Oshtor and Oshtor believes this is the end of him, but with the princess cured, he may leave her in Mikazuchi's hands. Nekone runs to Oshtor, asking Mikazuchi to not kill her brother. Mikazuchi yells at her if she intends to lie to him too. Recalling what the real Oshtor told him, Oshtor stands up stating he will protect his soul and the princess. Oshtor states he is Oshtor and to himself that he inherited Oshtor's power and hopes. Oshtor then transforms to Akuruturuka, realizing he was also chosen by the Akuruka, Mikazuchi transforms as well. The two fight, but end in a draw. As Oshtor can barely stands, Mikazuchi decides to leave, telling him to heal for the next time they meet. Mikazuchi leaves with the Yamato army, and Anju approaches Oshtor, stating she believed in him. She then tells him she made her mind and tells him to announce to everyone that she is in Ennakamuy, and Oshtor accepts.

Later, Oshtor wakes up in bed, and Nekone tells him to rest as Mikazuchi had crossed the border. She wonders how he can do this and Oshtor reveals that lately he started to understand what Oshtor was thinking and trying to do. Nekone tells him that he can't keep doing this, or eventually she will lose her brother again. The more he is trying to be like him, the more she loses memory of her real brother. Oshtor breaks character, stating he owns Oshtor, but intends to have fun on his new job, and states Oshtor was a fool trusting him so easily and asking him to take his place. Nekone laughs, as that he sounds as his usual.

Raiko states that Mikazuchi is an idiot believing he could take Ennakamuy by force, and gives orders that he doesn't do it again. Raiko is informed that people are on the edge after hearing about the princess. However, Raiko states it doesn't matter and that people are fools and believe what they want to believe. He then states that Dekopompo was moved by the princess's words and led a secret diplomatic mission to Ennakamuy to discover the truth, but Ennakamuy released a Gaunji that killed him. Mikazuchi then led a punitive force, but was driven away by Oshtor who used the power of his Akuruka. News, that make it difficult to support Ennakamuy.

Ennakamuy gets cut off by other nations and Oshtor notes they have been outsmarted. He wonders if Raiko is behind this, but Kiwru comes telling him he has visitors. Dorry & Guraa brings new that Tuskur is ready to support Ennakamuy and is providing supplies. They wonder if Kuon has connections in the upper ranks of Tuskur. While receiving the supplies, Oshtor sees Anju using a sword to cut down a large tree and is surprised to learn she was that strong.

Later, Oshtor sees his wounds are healed and wonders if its due to Akuruka's power. He attempts to remove the mask, but is unable to. Soon, ambassadors from Tuskur arrive, but to their surprise, one of them is Tuskur's princess. The princess then gives them a list of supplies and Oshtor is surprised that's its double the last time. Anju shows up, wanting to thank the princess personally, and gives her some sweets that Rulutieh baked. Anju wants to hold a banquet, but Kuon refuses. She then states that Tuskur plans on starting a war with Yamato. They will be killing anyone who gets in their way until they conquer Yamato and Kuon asks Oshtor and the rest to remain in Ennakamuy. Anju is against trading their country for supplies. Kuon heard that Anju is gathering an army and plans to attack the capital, involving people in a war for her own greed. Anju states she is doing it for her people, but Kuon tells her that people don't care who rules as long they are left in peace. Kuon wishes to eliminate the threat to her own country and the longer the civil war in Yamato remains, the higher the chance the war will spread to Tuskur lands. Anju disagrees, stating she won't let her enter her country and will stop her herself if needed. Oshtor stops Anju from attacking Kuon, but Benawi and Kurou are fine letting them do what they want and if things get too heated, they will stop them.

Anju faces Kuon and attacks her, but Kuon easily blocks her attack and throws her away. Kuon states she is too light and weak to defeat her, and suggests she use a sword. Anju takes the sword and prepares her attack. As she unleashes it, Kuon stops her with her bare hand, surprising Anju as she is descendant of a god. Kuon states then they have the same burdens. While breaking her sword, Kuon explains that Yamato claim to be descendants of Onvitaikayan, and Kuon is heir to the divine Uitsualnemetia.
