THE HAKKENDEN
The warrior who holds the bead of brotherly affection, Kobungo Inuta, makes his appearance. The three united dog warriors must now fight to save their brother Sosuke, the warrior of "duty"!

In this, the climax of the current series, new warriors Kobungo Inuta and Daihachi make their appearance in episodes five and six! The hero of episode five is Kobungo, as his poignant background is gradually revealed. By the end of the sixth episode, six of the eight dog warriors will have been gathered into the story, along with some great action scenes featuring Shino, Genpachi and Kobungo. This crucial episode will also serve as the connecting link to The Legend of the Dog Warriors - New Chapter, for which production is complete.

Episode Five
Demon's Melody
One day, in the town of Gyotoku, in the province of Shimousa, an innkeeper named Kobungo Inuta rescues two men while fishing on the Tone river. The men turn out to be Shino and Genpachi, who had been adrift since falling into the river from Horyu Tower. Kobungo's brother-in-law Fusahachi, however, recognizes the two as fugitives, and alerts the authorities. During the heat of an intense battle, Fusahachi mistakenly kills his wife, Nui, and in his moment of slack, he is struck down by Kobungo. But all that remain are the carcasses of two dogs...

Episode Six
The Cicada Spirit Cry
Leaving Gyotoku, the three warriors take Nui's infant son Daihachi and set off for Otsuka village. Back in Otsuka, Sosuke faces a death sentence after being charged with the murders of his step-mother and father. After getting wind of this, Shino and Genpachi go to his rescue. Under the cover of night, the two sneak onto the killing ground and hide themselves. Then, just as Sosuke is about to have his punishment of crucifixion carries out, they pounce... Will they succeed in their quest to rescue Sosuke and escape to safety?
