Ryomou stealthily pursues the Dragon Jade while the dragon hidden within Sousou begins to stir.

The awakening of Ryuubi's dragon forces Ryomou to flee; Sonsaku and the Nanyou gang at last make their first appearance.

The looming threat of Kyoshou lures Nanyou into the plot. During a visit to Seito to search for answers, an assassin is sent to face Ryomou.

Ryomou's battle comes to an unforeseen end; Sousou loses more of himself to his ancient namesake.

Kan'u leaves Seito to judge famed strategist Koumei Shokatsuryou's worthiness, yet she is unknowingly followed by two familiar faces.

Influenced by the desires of his ancient incarnation, Sousou goes to great lengths to have Kan'u at his side once again.

Sonsaku journeys to Kyoshou alone to seek justice for Kakouen's rampage, but a surprising opponent is waiting there.

Sonsaku is gone; an old comrade returns; and Kakouton pays a heavy price for following his principles.

Koukin is still devastated by a loss and wanders without purpose, until a chance encounter with Seito's Kan'u reestablishes his resolve.

Koumei Shokatsuryou's master plan comes to fruition, with Nanyou and Seito once again forming an alliance against Kyoshou and replaying the events of the Battle of Red Cliffs 1800 years later.

The final battle commences, as three dragons fight for survival and domination as they did thousands of years ago.
