They first snap at him to get out of Ohu, but after seeing his speed and strength, Kagetora informs him that Ohu was attacked by a demonic animal called Kaibutsu and he killed dogs. The leader, Gin, told them with some other guard dogs to keep Kaibutsu locked inside Ohu, but the monster broke through them and began attacking and eating humans. The humans nearby thought that the dogs were the man-eaters and began shooting them to stop the killings, killing several innocent dogs. Ken and Kagetora, along with other uard dogs, pleaded with the leader to let them die fighting with Kaibutsu, as they didn't want to die by being shot, but the leader said that it was not the time and went away.

        EP4 - Succeeding Soul

        The shadowy group of dogs introduce themselves as domesticated dogs whose duty is to kill Kaibutsu. The leader of the group informs them that Kaibutsu is not a monster but a genetically experimented dog created by the humans. The group of dogs were originally guard dogs of a research center where Kaibutsu was being experimented on. Many years of experimentation by the humans are responsible for Kaibutsu's mutated appearance. Kaibutsu apparently broke free from the laboratory, killed many humans and escaped into the mountains. When the Ohu army insists that they help the guard dogs to fight Kaibutsu, as Kaibutsu had killed many of their soldiers too, the group of dogs take no notice and runs forward. The group of dogs jump from a cliff up ahead and reaches the cliff on the other side, where there is Gajou. The Ohu army is a little scared to follow them, but Smith tells them that most of the Ohu soldiers had jumped the cliff and the one who reaches the other side is considered a true soldier. Weed and the others jump form the cliff, even Mel and Smith and manage to reach the other side and the group of dogs finally become ally with them. The leader of the group is Jerome the German Shepherd and with him are his four comrades: Robert the American foxhound, Rocca the Doberman pinscher, North the Hokkaido dog and Heuler the Gascon saintongeois. Jerome wants Weed to lure Kaibutsu out of Gajou, so that they can all attack him together. He says that Kaibutsu has exposed arteries on his chest that, if torn, can kill him. Weed agrees and North is sent to navigate for him. As they go deeper inside Gajou, Kaibutsu makes a sudden attack, killing North and throwing his corpse out of Gajou. Weed tries to tear Kaibutsu's arteries, but only tears his skin. Smith goes inside Gajou to help Weed, inspired by how Jerome and his squad are ready to give away their lives for their mission. Smith pushes aside Weed and bites onto Kaibutsu's neck, as Kaibutsu continuously smashes himself and Smith against the rocks to rid himself of Smith. Due to the constant smashing on them, hundreds of rocks finally crashes down on Kaibutsu and Smith, crushing Smith to death. His corpse is dragged outside Gajou, as Weed, Mel and GB mourns at his death. Inside Gajou, Kaibutsu is shown to be alive even after getting crushed by rocks as he questions why the dogs are taking the human's side.

He questions why they are supporting the humans and trying to kill him, especially to Jerome. Jerome replies that humans are dogs' best partners and that Kaibutsu, originally being a dog, has killed and eater humans, which is something Jerome considers unacceptable. Kaibutsu says that humans had originally betrayed him by torturing him through genetic experiments and mutated his appearance. He reminds Jerome of how he would soothe and comfort Kaibutsu during his days as a genetic experiment and how he would give him strength to live and bear the pain. He insists that he had lost all positive feelings towards everything and has truly become a man-eating beast, laughing maniacally. In anger, GB, Ken Kagetora, Weed and Mel attack him and he manages to push them away. Jerome's group runs towards the other side of Gajou to lure him, Jerome calling him by his laboratory name, P4 to anger him. Robert, Rocca and Heuler attack Kaibutsu on Jerome's order and make a deep wound on his chest, but in turn, all three of them get killed. As Jerome attacks, Weed and the others hold Kaibutsu to make sure he is distracted, giving Jerome enough time to dig deep into his chest and bite his arteries. As they try to rescue Jerome Kaibutsu grabs Kagetora and tries killing him but Jerome nips his arteries again, causing him to let go. Kaibutsu manages to pull Jerome off him, but Jerome quickly catches his jaw and pulls him down in the gorge between the cliffs. However, Kaibutsu is still alive and bites onto Jerome's ribs. He manages to climb up to the edge of the cliff, holding Jerome in his mouth. Kagetora sees that Jerome is still alive and says that his uncle, Akatora died just like Jerome's squad, to injure the enemy so that others could kill him. Kaibutsu throws Jerome down the gorge when he sees that the dogs are still wanting to fight, causing Ken, Kagetora and Weed to push him of the cliff in rage.

        EP14 - The Assassin's Slithering Dagger

        The Ohu army reaches Kishu, Rocket's hometown, where they decide to rest near a cliff after seeing that everyone's tired, but Rocket hears a strange rumbling sound and they witness a large group of dogs using a broken tree to ram into a human truck and steal the chickens inside the truck. It begins to rain as Rocket goes to check what's happening in the forest. He spies on the group of dogs eating the stolen chickens, but he is soon pinned down by a huge, grey dog. Meanwhile, Tesshin arrives in the Alps to rescue Gin. He gets through the guards and tries to rescue Gin, but Gin is too badly injured for him to carry and Gin tells him to pass on a message to Weed. Back at Kishu, the Ohu army gets suspicious after Rocket doesn't return by morning and as they search for him in the forest, they come across a dog, who says that he is a local and that he saw Rocket last night. However, the dog leads them into a trap by going near some humans and howling loudly and then escaping, leaving them to face the danger. The humans, mistaking them for the dogs who stole the chickens, began shooting at them and they manage to escape as Jerome distracts the humans by attacking them and later goes to spy on the humans. The grey dog that kidnapped Rocket watch from afar with his army, saying that if the humans couldn't kill them, he would. The Ohu army continue searching for Rocket, while Jerome arrives at the human headquarters and finds a truck full of dead dogs, all of whom were killed by other stray dogs and were found by the humans up in the mountains. He finds the dead group's boss dog's corpse and suspects a giant breed of dog had killed him. The Ohu army encounters the suspicious dog from before and chases him in anger. He leads them to the edge of a cliff, where they think they have cornered him, when he barks and a huge army of dogs come out and corner them. The suspicious dog goes back to his own group and is addressed as Stone by the leader of the group, who is an Irish Wolfhound and the same grey dog who kidnapped Rocket. Some distances away, the humans spot them and decide to go nearer and hunt them down as Jerome follows the humans. Weed introduces himself to the Irish Wolfhound and talks in a passive manner, only to have the Irish Wolfhound pin him down aggressively and introduce himself as Kamakiri and the invader of Kishu. All of a sudden, Hiro loses his temper and threatens to kill Kamakiri. Hiro recounts how Kamakiri and Stone were originally members of Hiro's father's pack. However, Kamakiri betrayed Hiro's father and killed him and made Hiro one-eyed, before Hiro escaped. Kamakiri says that he doesn't remember anything like this and Hiro angrily demands that Kamiri fight him, but Kamakiri shows them that he has taken Rocket hostage. Rocket informs them that Kamakiri and his army are actually Hougen's followers and they had killed all the local dogs of Kishu. Jerome jumps out suddenly and knocks away Stone, rescuing Rocket. The German Shepherd tries stopping Kamakiri, but loses an ear in the process. Hiro attacks Kamakiri and they bite onto each other as Jerome informs everyone that the humans are coming to get them. Kamakiri's army doesn't believe him and Stone and some other dogs bite onto Hiro. Weed bites onto Kamakiri's snout, but Kamakiri throws him away. Weed attacks Kamakiri again and now makes a long cut on his neck. However, the humans come and began shooting and Kamakiri's army withdraws. As the humans continue shooting, Jerome pushes away Weed and gets hit on his leg by a bullet. He orders Ken and Kagetora to take away Weed and as the human try shooting him, he gathers up the strength he has left and jumps off the cliff edge.

        EP15 - The Zetsu Tenrou Battouga!

        Having hauled himself up on some rocks in the river bank, Jerome comes across some dogs he suspects to be Kamakiri's followers. The Ohu army follows Jerome's blood trail, led by GB. At another part of the river, Kamakiri takes his anger out on a minion of his, slashing his neck underwater. He then prepares to go to the Alps with his army to meet up with Hougen. The Ohu army is led to a misty area, where many shadowy dogs surround them and suddenly escape. GB, Ken, Kagetora and some other dogs chase after them against Weed's order and Weed chases to stop them and they all fall into a hot spring. The shadowy dogs are revealed to be Tesshin and his clan of ninja dogs. They also find Jerome in the hot spring, having been taken there by the ninja dogs. Tesshin relays Gin's massage to Weed and everyone gets in a rush to rescue the leader, but says that they cannot forcefully make wounded soldiers fight and should rest just for at least a little while. One night, weed is thinking about his mother, when Tesshin comes and tells him about the technique his father used to kill Akakabuto called the Zetsu Tenrou Battouga. The others arrive to see Weed executing the Battouga on a tree branch and GB recounts how Weed used the Battouga the first time he saved him to cut off the guard dog's ear. The Ohu army begins training under Tesshin on how to use different attack methods and Weed finally masters the Battouga. One night, when a part of Kyoshiro's army, Rocket and Jerome are resting in the hot spring, a trio of vicious, dog-eating wild boars attack them and the leader of the boars, Sancho, kills one of Kyoshiro's reckless minions. Kyoshiro, Weed and the others come and Kyoshiro angrily tries to attack the boar, but Jerome stops them as Sancho begins chasing them in the water. Weed executes his first learned Battouga on Sancho and cracks his skull, killing him. The other two boars flee in fear. Weed is dragged out of the water and is unconscious and Tesshin advises rest for him, as a Battouga takes up a lot of energy. Meanwhile, in the Alps, Kamakiri's army reaches Hougen's hut and Kamakiri refuses to wait even though the guards tell him to and enters without permission inside Hougen's hut. Hougen, seeing Kamakiri's arrogance and disobedience, pins him down in an embarrassing manner, but in the end, decides to keep him as part of his army. With their armies combined and powerful, Hougen and Kamakiri decide to set out towards Ohu. Due to the hot spring, Jerome's bullet wound heals, but when Tesshin tells him that if they don't take out the bullet from the wound, it'll become an infection, Jerome tells him that he wants to keep it as a punishment for sending his past comrades to death without thinking twice. With Tesshin and the ninja dogs, Weed departs from Kishu.

        EP16 - Farewell

        The Ohu army goes back to the Koga village, where they plan on keeping the pups of Kyoshiro's army. The pups, led by Teru, refuse to stay, saying that they'll help in battle. Kyoshiro tries using blunt scolding to scare them to submission, but Weed tells them calmly that to die is not something fantastic and just because of a battle, the Ohu army has no right to snatch their future away from them and after they die, the pups will take over for them, to which the pups finally agree to stay behind with the Koga elder. Tesshin and his clan of ninja dogs join the Ohu army. At Ohu, Akame spots some of Genba's minions going out to capture female dogs from humans for Hougen, as he is arriving to Ohu. Akame informs dogs who are at Ohu and are part of the Ohu army about this and he takes Kurotora and Hook with him to stop the female hunting and sends Mel to inform Weed about the invasion of Ohu. On his way, Mel comes across Hougen's army, which is carrying an injured Gin, and spies on them as Hougen threatens the Ohu soldiers and some cowardly Ohu soldiers join him. Meanwhile, the Ohu army goes to Hougen's hut in the Alps, unaware that Hougen has already left with Gin. The assassins that failed to kill Kyoshiro, Lecter and Thunder, watch them from afar, before deciding that they should get Weed, since returning empty-handed to Hougen would mean death for them. Weed and Tesshin sneak inside the hut, only to be ambushed by Lecter and Thunder. Due to their scuffle, they wake up the guards outside, but Lecter and Thunder order them to stay away. Thunder manages to grab Weed and knock away Tesshin, but Weed kicks him and uses an old knife lying in the hut to chop off Lecter's fangs. Tesshin throws them out of the hut and the Ohu army surrounds them as the guards escape. When asked about Gin, Lecter informs Weed that Hougen took him to Ohu. Kyoshiro is about to kill both of them, but Weed orders their lives spared, only on the condition that they'll never work for Hougen again. They agree and escape. Kyoshiro tries to kill them out of anger, but Jerome stops him, saying that he'll be Kyoshiro's opponent if he doesn't obey Weed. However, as they Ohu army leaves, Jerome stays behind, suspicious of the two assassins. At Ohu, Hougen arrives at Gajou with Kamakiri and an injured Gin and is greeted by his brother, Genba. Jerome follows the two assassins and overhears them plotting to assassinate Weed and he kills mercilessly Lecter, as Lecter's scream arouses the attention of the Ohu army and they rush to the spot where Jerome is, only to see, Jerome pinning down Thunder. Weed demands that Jerome let him go, but Jerome quickly kills Thunder too, in front of a horrified Weed. Weed loses his temper at Jerome's disobedience and pins him down and throws him against a tree and says that orders Jerome to leave the pack, since he has become a killer all over again. Jerome, although shocked at Weed's extreme order, obeys him and quietly leaves. Kyoshiro blames Weed and says that Jerome was trying to protect him, but Weed says his opinion won't change. Kyoshiro and his pack decide to follow Jerome, thinking that Weed is a weakling for not being able to accept killing. However, when they find Jerome, he says that what Weed did is right, that he is more immature than Weed and that Kyoshiro's army should follow Weed, before leaving to recruit more dogs from Shikoku for the army.

        EP17 - The Struggle In The Blizzard

        At Gajou, the minions of Genba return empty-handed, defeated by Kurotora, Akame and Hook. Genba angrily orders Kamakiri to kill them for their failure, but Hougen stops him and says that there are soldiers in his pack that are exceptionally strong and couldn't be stopped and orders the dogs to gather up the bravest of the dogs, planning to have them fight with one another to determine the top generals. As the Ohu army continue their journey, Kyoshiro's army follows them. Kyoshiro's army stumble across Mel, who mistakes them for enemies. Kyoshiro mistakes Mel for an enemy too and chase him. Mel reaches Weed's army and reports to him about the invasion of Ohu and the arrival of Hougen after Weed introduces him to Kyoshiro. Mel says that a battle will take place at Futago Pass. Kyoshiro is hesitant to join Weed's army after what he is done, but joins in after being shocked at Weed thanking him for coming back even though left him. Weed is reminded of his anger at Jerome due to Kyoshiro's return. At Gajou, the top generals of Hougen's army are determined: Kite the greyhound, Batt the weimaraner, Buruge the black mouth cur and Toube the Tosa dog. Akame and the others hear the battle cries at Gajou and realize that the female hunting will begin again and one of the generals will come. The Ohu army reaches near Futago Pass and Weed takes Rocket, GB, Tesshin and Kyoshiro with him to Futago Pass and order Ken and Kagetora to lead the others away if the enemy strikes. Kurotora, Akame and Hook watch form afar as Genba sets out with Toube and some other soldiers to steal females. However, Genba's army comes face to face with Shigure, who has returned with the sons of Kisaragi the Siberian husky from Mutsu. The sons of Kisaragi are: Izou, Shirozaku, Shinsaku, Shintaro, Kogoro and Hichinosuke. Genba orders Toube to kills them and a battle breaks out between the groups as Kame and the others join in. The six sons of Kisaragi try tackling Toube as Genba attacks Akame, but is pinned down Shigure and Kurotora, who are vengeful for their deceased family members. Genba throws away the two Kai-Kens and pins down Akame but Weed, GB, Rocket, Kyoshiro and Tesshin arrive. Weed knocks away Genba and Genba demands to fight with him, but Tesshin stops him and says that he is enough of an opponent for Genba. The Great Dane arrogantly tries attacking Tesshin, but Tesshin, using the different ninja-dog techniques, makes deep cuts on Genba several times. Most of the dogs of Genba's army are defeated and Weed knocks away a dog attacking Izou, as one dog from Genba's army rushes to Hougen to report about the danger. As the fight continues, Akame drags Izou to a safer place as he senses that a strong blizzard is going to blow any moment. Toube demands to fight Weed, since he is the leader. While Toube is fighting with Weed, Genba calls him to back him up, since Toube is the only one who is yet to be defeated in the army. Weed asks Genba if he would surrender, but Genba snaps that he would never surrender, when Kamakiri's army arrives at Futago Pass, having been sent by Hougen to rescue Genba. Genba, gaining confidence after seeing the reinforcement, attacks Tesshin as Toube attacks Weed. Genba manages to pin down Tesshin, but Shigure knocks him away and they stand at the edge of a cliff. Tesshin gives Genba one last chance to surrender and redeem himself, but Genba refuses, at which Tesshin and Shigure grab his shoulders and push him off the cliff along with themselves. Kamakiri and Weed's army run towards one another to attack, when the strong blizzard, Akame had predicted would come, blows out on them, blurring everything and stopping them from having a battle. During the blizzard, Tesshin, Shigure and Genba roll down the cliff and as the reach the bottom of the cliff, Shigure and Tesshin jump away from Genba and Genba hits his head on a rock, badly wounding him. Both Kamakiri and Weed's army are forced to withdraw. In the morning, Tesshin and Shigure returns and Shigure tells his uncle that he has gotten revenge for his brothers. Tesshin says that while they didn't kill Genba...

        EP18 - An Outcry To A Friend

        At Gajou, Hougen mourns over his brother's injuries and demands to know who did this to his brother. Suddenly, Genba wakes up and starts attacking the dogs around him and Hougen realizes that Genba is too brain-damaged to recognize even his own brother and has become aggressive towards everything around him. Genba suddenly bites onto Hougen, who comments on how his own brother can't even recognize him. Hougen tearfully bids his brother farewell before biting onto Genba's head and swiftly killing him out of mercy as Toube and the other dogs watch, horrified. As Genba lies dead on the floor, Hougen licks his dead brother's cheeks out of sadness as he remembers how they were born in an old shack, where the breeder left them and some other dogs without food, and they had to resort to cannibalism to survive. When the breeder came back, he was killed by the one-year old Hougen and Genba and eaten. After that, the brothers had made a promise that whoever of them was going to die first, he would die from the surviving brother's fangs and the promise was being executed now. In present, the dogs of Genba's army begin to sense that an angry episode was going to breakout and two dogs try leaving, saying that they need to treat some injuries. Hougen furiously kills them both and as the other dogs escape, he orders them pinned down and kills all of them as Toube tries fighting him, but Hougen defeats him, making him one-eyed. He throws out the corpses of the dogs and a still alive Toube down into the river in the gorge. At a hidden location, Akame introduces Weed's army to Ben and Cross. The Ohu army spots Kamakiri's army trying to find them by scent. Weed thinks up a plan to lure and trick them and takes Rocket with him. They purposefully come out in front of Kamakiri's army and Kamkiri's army begins chasing them, as Kamakiri delightfully thinks about getting Hougen's position after capturing Weed, now that he has gotten Genba's position. Weed and Rocket lead his army into a small ravine, where many of his soldiers fall into it. Kamakiri furiously begins chasing after them with his army. Weed hides under a very narrow river, going unnoticed by Kamakiri's army and when they are far away, he gets up and goes to recruit his own army. Rocket leads Kamakiri's army through the same paths over and over again, without them realizing it until after a very long time. Suddenly, Weed's army appears on the cliff in front of them, with Rocket, spread out all over the edge of the cliff to give the false impression that they were larger in number than Kamakiri's army and that there were more soldiers behind them. Weed gives Kamakiri's army a chance to leave, but Kamakiri furiously says that to withdraw would a dishonor and that he was still ready to fight. However, another group of dogs appear at the edge of the cliff, scaring Kamakiri and making him bleieve that there were actually a huge number of soldiers behind the few on the cliff edge. On top of that, GB, Ken and Kagetora start running in circles and saying that they had come from Hokuriku to help the Ohu army, giving the impression that more dogs were coming to join the army. Kamakiri finally gets too scared to fight anymore and begrudgingly leaves with his army. Weed is then introduced to the group of dogs, which's leader are Moss the English Mastiff and Musashi the Tosa dog, both of whom were old Ohu comrades. Moss informs Weed that Jerome informed them about the problem and called them here. He tells Weed that Jerome separated from them on their way to meet Weed. Weed senses that Jerome is nearby and when everyone decides to search for him, Jerome leaves with four Shikoku dogs Musashi had placed with him to protect him. Weed is placed in an emotional struggle, as he cannot forget or forgive Jerome and both Jerome and he begin to cry as the move further away from each other.

        EP19 - A Fool's Disposition

        As they are returning to their own secret location, the Ohu army comes across a desperate dog called Shingo, who says that his friend is drowning. Kyoshiro identifies the dog as one of Hougen's soldiers and is suspicious of him, but Weed and the others rush to help the dog who is drowning. The Ohu army arrives at the spot where the dog leads them to and find that the dog in danger is Toube. Everyone jumps into the river to help him and drag him up, as Musashi looks from afar. At Gajou, Hougen is shocked to hear that the Ohu army has gathered over 300 soldiers and in anger almost chokes Kamakiri to death and warns him that if he fails in the next mission, he will be killed. In the Ohu army's secret location, Moss, Musahsi and the other old Ohu comrades weep after seeing the fang of the deceased John, which Hook has delivered to Ohu. Mel informs them that Toube has awoken and while Weed tells Toube that he is glad that Toube survived, Toube bluntly asks him if expects him to change sides for saving him. Musashi comes to talk to him and it is revealed that during his days as a fighting dog, Musashi was defeated only by Toube. Musashi demands to know why such a determined and respectable dog like Toube joined Hougen's army, to which Toube replied that when he heard that Musahsi was in the battlefield with the Ohu army, he himself wanted to fight in the battlefield too and when he saw that being with Hougen's army could give him that opportunity, he joined it. Toube tells the Ohu army about Genba and his soldiers' death before walking out, claiming that he wanted to take revenge on Hougen for treating Him so badly. Weed says he should rest first and Toube refuses at first, but due to exhaustion falls and becomes unconscious and is dragged back to the secret location. The dogs who escaped from Hougen's army when they saw what he did to Toube, Shingo and Kerry thank the Ohu army for taking care of them and decide to go back to their homelands instead of joining Hougen again. Shingo tells the Ohu army about Hougen and Genba's cruel and cannibalistic past before going. On their way to their hometown, Kerry advises that they should join Hougen's army again and report to him that the Ohu army has much less than even 200 soldiers, to which Shingo is horrified, but Jerome jumps out on Kerry and threatens to kill him if he does anything like that and both Shingo and Kerry quickly escape in fear. The Ohu army sits down to have their meals and GB offers Toube a bird, but Toube says he doesn't like bird-meat, to which GB sets out to find a snake for him. He doesn't find any snakes but sees a mouse and as he tries to catch it, he bumps with another dog and soon another dog comes and finds them. GB realizes that he has accidentally entered the enemy territory and introduces himself as a follower of Hougen called JinBei. He finds some food and is forced to take it along with the other followers of Hougen into Gajou. While searching for an exit, GB comes across the chamber where an unconscious and weak Gin is kept. He comes outside Gajou and comes across Sasuke, his old friend. Meanwhile, at the secret location of the Ohu army, Weed, Ken and Kagetora begin to worry about GB when he doesn't return and they go out to find him. Musashi asks Toube how their leader is and Toube replies that he's an idiot. However, Ben and Cross question whether he really thinks that. Back near Gajou, GB and Sasuke have a friendly conversation and Sasuke reveals how he couldn't find his owner and was captured by Hougen's minions and was forced to work to death for him. GB and Sasuke plan to escape Hougen's army, but the two dogs who bumped into GB from before finds out about this and Sasuke lets it slip that JinBei is not actually GB's name. The two minions of Hougen give them a chase and catch Sasue and GB tries to rescue him. Ken, Kagetora and Weed arrive at the scene and rescue Sasuke and GB, who loses consciousness due to tension. They go back with Sauske to the Ohu army and GB wakes up and informs Weed about the place Gin's kept in. Sasuke lets it slip that GB is Weed's godfather...

        EP20 - The Ohu Suicide Corps

        At Gajou, Hougen tortures Gin out of rage that the Ohu spies in his army have escaped, although Kamakiri advises him not to kill Gin, since he is their last valuable hostage. Hougen, having had enough of the Ohu army's tricks, goes out with the whole of his army to find the Ohu army. At the Ohu army's secret location, GB pinpoints exactly where Gin is using sticks and stones to build a map and Akame encourages everyone to fight with courage, when Shigure and Kagetora's brothers come and report about Hougen setting out of Gajou to catch the Ohu army. He has dived his army into five groups. The first group is led by Hougen himself, the second group is led by Kamakiri, the third group is led by Kite the greyhound from Ecchu, the fourth group is led by Batt the weimaraner of Shingan and the fifth division is led by Buruge the black mouth cur of Yashamori. Weed orders Rocket to go and find where Hougen exactly is and Rocket sees Hougen coming from the front and telling his group to rest before Kamakiri's group builds a barrier. Rocket reports this to Weed and Weed decides to go with a small army and create a chaos and use the Battouga to kill Hougen. He chooses Akame, Tesshin, Rocket, Kagetora, Ken, Shigure, Kagetora's brothers, Kisaragi's sons and the Tesshin's clan of ninja dogs to go with him. Kyoshiro is furious that he isn't chosen to go with Weed, but Weed says that he doesn't have the ability to quickly escape and therefore he cannot take him. Cross, Ken's mother, leads the rest of the army to a safer place as Weed and the others depart to attack Hougen. Weed sees Hougen for the first time and feels anger boiling up inside him. As the rest of the army led by Cross swim along the river, Reika points out that Kyoshiro and his army is missing. Meanwhile, Kyoshiro and his army arrogantly try to go towards Gajou to rescue the leader, thinking they're being excluded because they are too young, when they run across Jerome, who tells Kyoshiro that he really is immature. Meanwhile, Weed's squad attack Hougen's group as one dog howls for backup troops to arrive. As the others take down Hougen's bodyguards and leave him open to attacks, Weed launches a Zetsu Tenrou Battouga at Hougen, who gets paralyzed in fear and seemingly beheads and kills him as his corpse falls limp on the ground. Weed's squad quickly escapes, as Kamakiri and Kite's group arrive and get shocked at seeing Hougen's corpse. Meanwhile, Kyoshiro decides to go to Gajou alone and when he sees that his army won't go if he just told them to, Kyoshiro's treats them violently and acts like he's going to join Hougen. Kyoshiro's own army tries to attack him, but seeing one of Hougen's troops coming, they escape tearfully. Kyoshiro weeps about they've become determined and strong before he even noticed, when he comes across one of Hougen's troops, led by Buruge. Meanwhile, Jerome watches from afar, him and his bodyguards being the only one knowing that Kyoshiro really hasn't betrayed the Ohu army and was just acting. Kyoshiro gives Buruge a false identity of himself, introducing himself as Tasuke from Kyoto, who came here to become one of Hougen's comrades. Meanwhile, Weed and the others make their way through the river, Weed reveals that hadn't been actually able to kill Hougen. Back at the scene where the attack took place, Kamakiri, Kite and their armies are shocked again to see Hougen rising up from the ground. Hougen comments softly on Weed's 'strange technique' and it is revealed that when Weed was launching the Battouga on him, Hougen managed to catch a dog from his own army and place him in front of himself, so that the Battouga hit the other dog. Kyoshiro's army go back to the Ohu army and report about Kyoshiro's betrayal, although Weed doesn't believe that Kyoshiro betrayed them and believes that Kyoshiro has other intentions. Hougen's army find out that the Ohu army had jumped into the river and escaped and Hougen orders Kamakiri and his army to search the entire river and find the Ohu army. The Ohu army wonders who will go to check if Kyoshiro has really betrayed them or not and Toube offers to do that job...

        EP21 - Infiltrating Gajou

        On his way to Gajou, Toube spots Kamakiri's army at the river and comes across Jerome who assures him that Kyoshiro hasn't betrayed them. Jerome says that if he goes to Hougen's place, he'll die, but Toube says that he isn't going to fall out like weakling and approaches Kamakiri, who decides to take him back to Gajou. At Gajou, Buruge's troop comes back with Kyoshiro as a part of it. However, Batt, who is blind, senses Kyoshiro's true intentions with something he calls his 'mind's eye' and points him out as an enemy spy. Hougen's attacks Kyoshiro viciously even though Buruge tries defending him meekly. However, Toube arrives with Kamakiri's army and he requests Hougen to let him kill Kyoshiro. As they fight, Toube reveals his true intentions about rescuing the leader and Kyoshiro, as a part of the act, jumps and reveals his true identity. Toube knocks Kyoshiro unconscious, telling Hougen that it would be better to execute him in front of the whole Ohu army. However, Batt sees through Toube's true intentions and warns Hougen about it and Hougen takes Kamakiri with him for a talk. Kyoshiro is kept in the same chamber Gin is kept in and at night, a snowstorm begins, causing all the guards to go to sleep and allowing Toube to freely walk into the chamber. However, Batt's guards see him and Batt reports to Hougen about this and Hougen orders him to chase after them and recapture Gin, but not kill him. Meanwhile, Weed and Akame go through a secret passageway inside Gajou to help Kyoshiro and Toube with their mission. Meanwhile, right above them, Batt's army rushes towards the chamber where the hostages are kept and due to the rocks being loose, some dogs fall underneath and into the secret passageway, coming face to face with Weed who starts acting as a distraction while Akame runs to rescue Gin. As Kyoshiro and Toube are rescuing Gin, they come face to face with Kamakiri's army, having set up there by Hougen. Akame quickly appears and leads Kyoshiro and Toube away with Gin and drops huge rocks in the passageway, blocking away Kamakiri's army. As his army is chasing Weed, Batt senses something wrong with his mind's eye and orders half of his team to go after Weed, while the other half comes with him to where he thinks the problem is. The 'problem' is the actually Akame, Kyoshiro and Toube escaping with Gin and as they hear Batt's army coming, Akame orders Kyoshiro and Toube to go away with Gin, which they do, while he stays behind and when Batt's army arrives at the scene, Akame jumps on icicles on the chamber's rooftop, dropping them at Batt's army and he escapes through another passage and Batt's army follows. Meanwhile, hearing the commotion in Gajou, Hougen decides to see what's going on. Akame meets up with Weed as they escape from Batt's army and as they use a passageway that leads them to a higher place on Gajou and they and come outside, Weed comes face to face with Hougen, but manages to escape. Kamakiri's army reaches the chamber where the icicles had been dropped on Batt's army a moment ago and go through the same secret passageway Toube and Kyoshiro had used. As they hear Kamakiri's army coming, Toube tells Kyoshiro to carry Gin and go away, while he blocks Kamakiri's army, to which Kyoshiro complies with hesitation. Kamakiri's army arrives and begins to viciously attack Toube, who tries to make the dogs see the pointlessness of being in Hougen's army, but at that, they begin attacking him in more numbers. At the Ohu army's secret location, Musashi, Hiro and GB begin to worry about Toube and Kyoshiro being late and decide to go and check what has happened, as Kyoshiro reaches the river, carrying Gin. At the fight scene, Kamakiri's army is unable to bring down Toube as Kamakiri watches in dismay and the fighting dog kills twenty-seven of Kamakiri's soldiers, but in the end, Kamakiri launches a surprise attack on him, sinking his fangs into Toube's skull and paralyzing him. However, Toube refuses to fall down in front of Kamakiri's army and stands with pride, shocking Kamakiri for a moment before he goes off with his army to find Gin and Kyoshiro...

        Kyoshiro arrives at the riverbank with Gin, but far from the Ohu army. Kamkiri's army desperately searches for them, as Stone, Kamkiri's assistant asks his boss whether he should report the escape of Kyoshiro and Gin to Hougen or not and Kamakiri angrily snaps at him and sends him to Hougen. He then orders a part of his army to split up and find Kyoshiro and Gin, as Jerome and his bodyguards watch from afar and Jerome sends one of his bodyguards, Ryo to report this to the Ohu army.

At Gajou, Hougen kills Stone when he brings him the news about the hostages escaping and orders Kite, Batt and Buruge to strengthen their armies and protect Gajou. Meanwhile, a small part of Kamakiri's army come near Kyoshiro and Gin and Kyoshiro hides Gin and attacks them all by himself but they manage to pin him down and as the Ohu army passes them by, they hide with him and keep him quiet. Back at the Ohu army's secret location, Hiro decides to go and help the Ohu army, since Kamakiri killed his father once and now he considers Gin his father and Kamakiri is now after his second father, and he requests Reika to tell everyone that he didn't disobey Weed but rather put his life in line to protect the leader. While on their search for Gin and Kyoshiro, Weed and the others run straight into Kamakiri's army and a battle breaks out between the two armies. Meanwhile, Hiro reaches the small group of Kamakiri's soldiers who are torturing Kyoshiro to know where Gin is and brutally castrates most of them. Hiro tells Kyoshiro to take leader back to the Ohu army's secret location, but Kyoshiro refuses, saying that he can't lose over and over again. Hiro then tells him about Toube's death and tells Kyoshiro that the leader is the father of everyone in the pack, so he should take care of him and leaves, while Kyoshiro takes the leader back. Meanwhile, Kamakiri's army fight mercilessly with Weed's smaller army. Hiro arrives and informs Weed that the leader is alright and starts attacking Kamakiri in revenge for his father. The two dogs fight vigorously and Kamakiri says he is aiming to rule the world and that he'll let Hiro meet his father in the other world. Hiro uses a trick to lure Kamakiri and then chop of his fangs and then castrate him, making him humiliated and unable to fight back. With the downfall of their boss, Kamakiri's army flees in fear and Kamakiri helplessly calls out at them to stop and when they disappear, starts fuming with rage and grief at his defeat. As Weed's army leaves, Hiro advises Kamakiri to let the feelings of others sink in and become a better person and to head south, where there are rats, something he'll be able to catch even without his fangs. In extreme anger, Kamakiri tries to bite Hiro as he leaves, but loses grip due to the absence of his fangs and falls down. Tears begin forming in his eyes and he is left lying on the ground, screaming in anger and grief but ultimately succumbing to blood loss as crows begin to surround him to eat him. Weed's army finds Kyoshiro and Gin and carry them back home as Weed and Hiro begin to feel the warmth of their fathers; the former for finding him and the latter for defeating the murderer of his father.

        EP23 - The War Of Futago Pass Begins

        Kyoshiro and Gin are taken back to Ohu army's secret location, where Hiro cheerfully declares the defeat of Kamakiri by him. Reika and Mel take him to rest, while GB takes Gin from Akame and go to put him in a nearby hot spring. The old Ohu soldiers finally are relieved that Gin is alright. Weed wants Kyoshiro to rest too, but Kyoshiro refuses, saying he is ready to fight. Meanwhile, Hougen has got his army to surround the whole of Gajou and protect it. Batt's troop is at the far back in the forest, Kite's troop is behind that and near Gajou's back and Buruge's troop is in the front. A small group of Kamakiri's soldiers come back and inform Hougen about their boss's downfall, to which Hougen realizes why the crows were throwing a tantrum in the last spot Kamakiri was seen. Hougen mercilessly orders his soldiers to kill the few of Kamakiri's soldiers that have come back, calling them victims of the Ohu army. Weed and Rocket watch this from afar and go back to their group, organizing the armies. Weed divides his army into three troops, just like Hougen and tells them to take down the generals of each troop, since if the general loses, his army will flee. The first one is led by Tesshin, whose troop consists of his clan of ninja dogs and Moss and Musashi's army from Shikoku, the second one is led by Ken and Kagetora, whose troop consists of their family members, Kisaragi's sons and a group of dogs from Mutsu and the second one is led by Kyoshiro, whose troop consists of his entire army of youngsters along with Hook and Sasuke. Weed himself will go with Akame and Rocket to launch an ambush attack on Hougen from the inside of Gajou. As the Ohu army proceeds to attack Hougen's army, Akame senses a storm coming and soon, the snow storm starts and battle also begins. The old parents of Ken and Kagetora are easily able to jump the gorge near Gajou along with Hook and Sasuke. Jerome and his group of bodyguards decide to help the Ohu army, when Jerome starts to feel the bullet in his leg paralyzing it, as he remembers Tesshin's words about it becoming an infection but goes to help Weed and the others anyway. The battle finally begins as Ken and Kagetora's troop creates a chaos in Batt's army, allowing Tesshin's troop to move forward undisturbed and attack Kite's troop. Meanwhile, Kyoshiro's army runs straight into Buruge's army and Buruge and Kyoshiro start to fight viciously. Weed, Rocket and Akame get through the guards of Gajou and closer towards Hougen, who is right at the top of Gajou. Kyoshiro and Buruge continue to fight and seemingly, Kyoshiro wins. But Buruge, although heavily injured, gets up and bites Kyoshiro. Buruge recounts how during his struggle to become one of Hougen's generals, he used a technique that made it look like he was defeated to his enemies when he would suddenly jump up and kill them. He calls himself a shinigami and using his surprise attack method, pins down Kyoshiro. Kyoshiro remembers all time Weed had trusted him and wonders whether he is completely different to him. However, Toube's spirit help him to gain strength and determination and using Buruge's own method against him he pushes him away. Buruge, who thought Kyoshiro was long defeated, gets too shocked by this action and Kyoshiro puts a final blow on him to make sure he is defeated. As Buruge's army flees, Buruge begs Kyoshiro to kill him since he lost for the first time, but Kyoshiro says that according to Weed, the battle ends right after the general is defeated. Hougen, seeing the downfall of Buruge's troop, orders his remaining army to protect the front when he notices that Weed is absent from all the Ohu army troops. Hougen realizes what Weed's plan is and when Weed, Rocket and Akame come out, they see Hougen jumping purposefully into the gorge.

        EP24 - A War Of Fire And Snow

        Weed and Rocket go down to tackle Hougen as Kite goes after them and Akame goes to take care of the battlefield. Before starting the fight, Weed asks Hougen what his goal in doing all of this is and Hougen replies that this ultimate goal is to take revenge on the humans after having enough dogs on his side, due to Genba and his past trauma. The Great Dane attacks Weed while Kite fights with Rocket and in the battlefield, Tesshin interrogates one of Kite's soldiers and gets to know where Kite has gone. Ken, Kagetora and their family members defeat a large part of Batt's troop and Ken, Kagetora and Shigure run after where they think Batt is. During the battle in the gorge, Weed launches a Battouga at Hougen and Hougen tries dodging it, but Weed changes direction, pushing Hougne right into the river, where he floats away and falls from the waterfall. Kite, angry at his boss's downfall, prepares to attack Weed and Rocket, as Weed asks whether Kite hates humans too and Kite replies that he does. However, Tesshin intervenes, allowing the two to escape, as Rocket warns him about Kite's front legs, which can cut through rocks. Kite and Tesshin prepare to fight again. In the forest where Batt's army is, a forest fire breaks out as Ken, Kagetora and Shigure get lured into a dead end, where Batt's army is waiting for them. However, Jerome's bodyguards arrive and fight off the remainder of Batt's army as Batt senses it with his mind's eye. Ben senses the presence of Batt with his own senses and inform Kurotora and Cross about it. Meanwhile, Tesshin and Kite continue their fight and enter the forest where the forest fire has started as the flames begin to spread and Tesshin senses that Kite's front legs might be artificial and Kite reveals his past of an assassin working for the humans. Kurotora, Ben and Cross reach where Batt is and defeat his messengers. Cross runs off to bring Ken and Kagetora, while Ben and Kurotora try cornering Batt, but the weimaraner is too strong and he defeats Kurotora easily as a snowstorm blows out on them, giving Batt more advantage. In the forest, Kite and Tesshin fight, jumping form tree to tree as Tesshin is unable to convince Kite to leave Hougen's army. Tesshin then breaks a tree branch which has caught fire on its tip and shoves it into Kite, burning the covering of his front legs, revealing them to be made of metal and realizes his reasons for hating humans. Cross arrives with Ken and Kagetora and they find Ben guarding a fallen Kutora. They get angry and scream at Batt to come out, as he makes a sudden surprise attack, injuring them both. Ben advises them to calm themselves, since Batt is not an enemy who could be fought with blind anger and strength, and tells them to use their other senses to detect him. They soon do and as he is making an attacking, they injure and defeat him. In the forest, Tesshin embeds the branch he is carrying into Kite's collar, as the greyhound furiously chases after him. However, Kite gets caught in the trees due to the branch getting stuck in his collar and almost chokes to death, but Tesshin saves him. Kite, although violent at first, is moved by Tesshin's kindness. Ben and Kurotora tell Batt that Ohu doesn't kill someone for being their enemy and gives them a second chance and both Batt and Kite begin shedding tears of regret. Meanwhile, far away in the gorge, Hougen gets out of the rive rand runs straight into Mel, Reika and Hiro. Hougen defeats Mel and Hiro, but Reika requests him not to kill her as she has fallen in love with him due to his youthfulness. Hougen delightfully starts walking away with her, but Reika pushes him back into the river, having tricked him. Hiro and Mel, unable to get up due to their injuries, scream for help and Jerome appears suddenly and jumps into the river to save Reika.

        EP25 - The Raging Stream

        Weed and Rocket arrive at the place where Mel and Hiro are and they tell them about the incident that took place a moment ago. Weed orders Rocket to take care of the two, as he goes to fight Hougen. In the river, Hougen uses Reika as a support and gets back on land as Jerome swims after Reika. He grabs her and holds onto a rock as Weed arrives and holds out a branch at him and drag them back onto land. Weed goes after Hougen while Jerome wakes Reika up and calls for his bodyguards to take care of her. Hougen stumbles upon a Great Dane called Haronosuke, who has escaped form Batt's army after Batt's defeat. Hougen allows him to escape and then disguises Haronosuke's footprints as his own while wiping out his actual footsteps. Weed comes and falls for Hougen's trick and goes at the direction Haronosuke went. However, Jerome comes soon after him and is able to catch Hougen's trick by recognizing the difference of scent between Haronosuke and Hougen and seeing the branch Hougen used to wipe away his own footprints. Weed spots Haronosuke and mistakes him for Hougen and launches a Battouga at him, but only covering him in ice as a result. When asked about Hougen, Haronosuke tells Weed where he last saw him and Weed rushes back. Meanwhile, back at Ohu army's secret location, GB watches Gin getting better when he suddenly sees Kite, Batt and Buruge behind him. He mistakes them for enemies, but Sasuke arrives and tells him that they had been defeated and he was told to bring them here. Gin tells the three to get into the hot spring he's in, since it can heal wounds easily, and Kite, Batt and Buruge, moved deeply by the leader's kindness, begin to cry out of regret before going into the hot spring. Gin tells GB to go to where Weed is and GB obeys immediately. As the older Ohu comrades fight the remainder of Hougen's army, Ken, Kagetora, Tesshin and Kyoshiro rushes after Weed with two of Jerome's bodyguards, Ryu and Ryo, while the other two escort Reika to the battlefield. On his way to find Weed, GB spots Hougen and arrogantly attacks him, but gets pinned down easily. Jerome arrives and saves GB and introduces himself to Hougen. Hougen recognizes him as the murderer of Lecter and Thunder and prepares to fight him, but GB grabs one of his hind legs, distracting him as Jerome jumps down on him and pushes him right at the river. However, just as Jerome is about to push Hougen into the river, the bullet in his leg causes immense pain and paralyzes him, causing him to let go of Hougen. Hougen, in intense anger, grabs him and beats him against rocks and as Weed arrives, throws him into the river, laughing maniacally. Weed jumps into the river to save Jerome as Hougen leaves without harming GB. The river leads into a snow-covered cave and Weed and Jerome hold onto some rocks as the water flows past them. Ken, Kagetora and the others arrive to see an injured GB, who is doubtful about Jerome and Weed surviving the 500 meters of snow that lay ahead of them. Weed and Jerome apologize to each other and Weed comments on how cold it is and Jerome tells him about the spring of Ohu to cheer him up. Due to the coldness, Weed falls unconscious and Jerome desperately tries to keep Weed's head above water, keeping his own body submerged in water underneath Weed. Above them, Ken, Kagetora and the others search for them and Kyoshiro smells blood and locates them. As they desperately dig through snow to rescue them, Jerome, who has taken in too much water to save Weed, feels relieved that everyone has arrived and Weed can be alright. He lets go and drifts away from Weed. He tells his past friends like North, Robert, Rocca, Heuler and even Kaibutsu to wait for him in the other world as he drowns in the river and floats away.

        EP26 - Makoto Ginga Densetsu

        Weed wakes up from his unconsciousness, surrounded by Kyoshiro, Tesshin, GB, Ken and Kagetora, who are huddling close to him to keep him warm. He questions where Jerome is and when he doesn't get a proper answer, he jumps away from them and see Ryu and Ro and question where Jerome is again. Ryo tearfully tells him that Jerome is nowhere to be found and probably deceased and Weed starts to mourn over the loss of one of his closest friends. Meanwhile, the older Ohu comrades, along with Hiro, Mel and Rocket, who have gone back to the battlefield, defeat the remainder of Hougen's army and Akame and Kurotora defeats the last dogs guarding ht Gajou and take over it. However, Hougen arrives to launch a surprise attack. As Weed and the others rush back to Gajou, they see the damage the forest fire and the war has caused to their army. They arrive to see Hougen standing the middle of the Ohu army, having killed many dogs who challenged him, including many of Tesshin's ninja dogs. Ryo and Ryu angrily attack at him but he kills Ryu with one strike of his fangs and holds Ryo hostage. He challenges Weed into a fight and Weed accepts it and Hougen lets Ryo go and prepares for the fight. Weed swiftly comes down and fakes a Battouga to trick Hougen and then begins to use multiple jumps to cut him all over. Finally, he uses a Battouga on Hougen to seemingly kill the Great Dane. However, Hougen gets up, still alive after taking a Battouga and everyone tries to protect Weed, but Gin arrives to stop them and tells Weed to show the strength and spirit he is supposed to have. Weed tries to launch another Battouga on Hougen, but the strong wind pushes him down and Hougen grabs his legs, beating him continuously on the ground. However, Weed manages to bite Hougen over and over right on the head as Hougen continues to give him the beating, getting more violent and furious with each bite to the head. After the final bite to the head, Hougen beats him ruthlessly and throws him away, burying him in the snow. Everyone again tries interfering to save Weed, but Gin stops them, saying that this was only between the leaders. Hougen laughs at him mockingly and gives Weed a last death blow to kill him. Weed lies seemingly dead as everyone rushes to him to check whether his really dead or not and Hougen laughs in victory at Gin. However, the wind begins to blow heavily and they hear howling sounds form the mountains and Weed soon gains back his strength with the help of the spirits of the past dead Ohu comrades and they begin to appear around Weed and Hougen, visible only to them, scaring Hougen witless, especially when he sees John among the spirits. Weed launches a Battouga at Hougen, who is too terrified to fight him anymore, and the Great Dane manages to dodge it. However, strong wind blows out on them suddenly and Weed comes back at Hougen with his Battouga and sinks his fangs right onto Hougen's head. Hougen finally falls down, finally defeated. Everyone praises Weed for defeating him, but Reika points out that Hougen is still alive and Gin tells Weed to kill him to end the war, but Weed says he can't do it, so Gin tries to do it on his own. However, Weed stops him, saying that this kind of merciless killing will only lead to more wars and kindness is the only thing that could affect one to change. Gin, seeing that Weed has surpassed him, declares Weed the leader and the Ohu army bows down before him to acknowledge him as the leader. However, they soon find that Hougen is missing from his place and finds him at the top of Gajou, furious about his defeat and screaming at them. However, as he starts to laugh and declare that it was still his reign, he struck by a bolt of lightning and dies. Soon, the spring of Ohu comes and a funeral is held for all the soldiers who had died in the battle and Hougen is buried among the soldiers. Weed has a vision of Jerome standing in the beautiful field but it vanishes in seconds. Soon after, Mel, Kyoshiro and GB come to call him, addressing him as the leader and saying that everyone is waiting for him. Weed soon gets up to go with them...
