While asleep in the home late that night, both families wake up after sensing the demon king's presence outside the house's doors. Tanjuro and Kie sacrifice themselves by choosing to stay behind to fend the demon king off for as long as possible while Genya, Hanako, Hiroshi, Koto, Nezuko, Shizu, Sanemi, Sumiko, Shuya, Sumi, Shigeru, Takeo, Teiko and Rokuta escape unharmed.
