1858
When Shotaro's and Gentaro's mother got sick, they were told to find a priest from a specific temple. They managed to make him to help, although the priest knew it was too late for their mother. In their mother's final moments, she told them to be strong, since the weak die. For short they stayed with the priest, but after he died too, they left on their own journey trying to survive.

While travelling they found a tied woman who wanted help, but then the man who tied her came. As they hid and wondered what to do, the man started raping the woman. As Shotaro overcame his fear, he decided to help her and using his father's katana, he sneaked behind the man and stabbed him in the back. As the woman thanked them, she was killed by Asakusa, who with other men was send to get her head back. Seeing the strength of Asakusa, Shotaro wanted to become his students in order to become strong. Asakusa eventually decided to take them to a place where they will be fed and trained and slew the other men, in order to take their cut too and asked Shotaro and Gentaro to say they killed them.

Shotaro and Gentaro where brought to Byakushin village, where they were sold as sacrifices by Asakusa and kept as prisoners. On the next day, the boys were separated and Gentaro was brought into a room where the women slaves were kept. There Nanushi ordered Teru to have sex with him, but since Gentaro reminded her of her own child, she couldn't. Gentaro stayed with the women until the Festival day came and they were taken out to clean the arena from the dead bodies. Then Shotaro's turn came and as he was going out towards the arena, Gentaro saw him and yelled his name. Shotaro promised Gentaro that he will survive. Shotaro then faced Asaji on the arena and managed to win. As Rugi came out on the arena and announced that Shotaro now is his "child" and that he can request anything from him, Shotaro requested Gentaro to be freed, who then immediately joined Shotaro on the arena, where they were accepted into the Byakushin cult.
