He throws his br&, however can't catch it whenever Jubei manages to cut his fingers remove, and a blade causes into his skull. An old monk that got found a battle congratulates Jubei, however he remarks that though Jubei's triumph on top a diabolic warrior was telling, it benefitted from either outside serve. He calls a monster one of "the Eight Devils of Kimon."
