Doudanuki Masakuni and Tsurumaru Kuninaga have manifested. Yamatonokami Yasusada and Kashuu Kiyomitsu show the two of them around the citadel.

Hirano Toushirou has found a four-leaf clover underneath the big tree. He intends to give it to Uguisumaru, who has just arrived at the citadel, but while he is on his way he encounters a number of obstacles making his task not so easy.

Izuminokami Kanesada has manifested. Meanwhile, the ten thousand leaf cherry tree is in full bloom. The sword warriors enjoy viewing the cherry blossoms underneath the tree but trouble brews when Jiroutachi ends up drunk...

While the Sword Warriors are wrapped up in the joy of one of the Five Great Swords of Japan appearing, dispatch orders come down from Master.
