Episode 7 Story

“Kojiro Revived”
Yaiba Kurogane and his companions finally arrive at Ganryujima. Meanwhile, under Takeshi Onimaru’s orders, Kumo-Otoko (Spiderman) revives Kojiro Sasaki ahead of their arrival. However, Kojiro, brought back suddenly, appears confused and unable to grasp the situation. At first, he doesn't even recognize the now-aged Musashi Miyamoto. But once Musashi provokes him, a fierce battle ensues.

Kojiro, who appears unchanged since his death 400 years ago, pushes Musashi into a corner. When Yaiba rushes in to help, he too finds himself in danger.
