Oden Wouldn't Be Oden If It Wasn't Boiled!

Fukurokuju confronts Shinobu for telling everyone the truth, but Shinobu denounces the Orochi Oniwabanshu and pledges loyalty to the Akazaya Nine as truth about Oden's sacrifices are spread through the public, and feeling bad for mocking him over the years, they rushed to the execution site to cheer him on, hoping for his survival. However, Oden knows that he will not survive the execution, so he tells his retainers to open up the country in his name, saying one day an important figure will appear. Oden manages to survive for over an hour, which enrages Orochi. The latter tells his men to shoot and kill Oden, breaking the promise. As ten minutes remains with Orochi becoming increasingly frustrated that Oden had not yet died. Through pure willpower, Oden pushes through the final ten minutes and completes the challenge. Despite this, Orochi decides to break his promises, and the firing squad point their guns on Oden anyway. After telling his retainers to open up the country for him, he throws the plank away from the execution area, allowing his retainers to flee to Kuri. They remembered their happy times with Oden as they tearfully ran away. Kaido mentions to Oden that he killed Higurashi for interfering with their fight, but then takes out his pistol and shots Oden in the head. Oden's final words, "Oden wouldn't be oden," is cut off, but the townspeople complete his sentence with, "if it wasn't boiled." as he dies with a smile.
