S7 • E6 May 10, 1964 24m
Naitō persuades Prince Yorikata to go to Mount Kōya to visit his ancestors' graves over the protests of Hida. Shintarō and Tonbei are sent to Edo with a Negoro prisoner Garyūdōshi deliberately intended to be caught for just this purpose, to get them out of the way. At Mount Kōya, Prince Yorikata is attacked by a practitioner of the Negoro magic rope trick. Shintarō saves him and the remaining 4 Kishū when he cuts the rope and kills the Ninja.
