The news of Gotari’s death makes Yoshitsune upset as those who were close to him have died one after another. One day, Yoritomo introduces Noriyori, another half-brother of the brothers, to Yoshitsune. As he gets to know Noriyori, who has a gentle nature unlike Yoritomo, Yoshitune feels the warmth of family ties. Meanwhile, the ex-emperor Goshirakawa keeps an eye on the members and followers of the Genji family scattered around the country. Receiving Yoritomo’s proposal for reconciliation with the Heike clan, the ex-emperor encourages Tokiko to settle with the Genji family. Being concerned that her lie about Kiyomori’s last words is making the situation worse, Tokiko tells the truth to Munemori. However, Munemori reacts in an unexpected way. Yukiie comes to Kamakura after he lost in the battle at the Sunomata River. Treated disrespectfully by Yoritomo, Yukiie tries to induce Yoshitsune to head the clan together. Yoshitsune firmly declines the suggestion. One day, Yoshitsune learns that Tsugunobu Sato and Tadanobu Sato, two of his followers, are suspected of something and goes to talk with Yoritomo.
