After the Karakuri Mansion crumbles and the squad exist with their loot, everyone but Koppa, the trio hangs around Otsutsuki Village, and helps a few people out. When word gets out about a tournament for ownership of the Hourai Mountain Hot Springs, the trio investigates.

They discover is was a ploy by the resurrected Curas, Tainted Insect, and Ragoon, who managed to escape Yomi during the events of the Karakuri Mansion. The slain foes wanted revenge against Shiren and Asuka for killing them and so Asuka was captured by the resurrected tio, and was subsequently rescued by Shiren.
