Tropes

- Hidden Depths: Kibaomaru reveals a bit more about himself during the contest.
- Not So Above It All: Despite usually being very stern and serious. Kibaomaru is very relaxed during his shogi match with Shute. Even happily laughing off Rele's interference at one point.
- The Reveal: In this episode we learn why Kibaomaru is trying to capture Genkimaru; Genkimaru's portal powers are the key to entering Musha Daishinshou and releasing it.
