Ah... the lineage of Yamata no Orochi. Wait a fucking minute.
There's an alternate telling that Orochi wasn't killed by Susano'o, but actually fled to Mt. Ibuki. Yes, that Ibuki. That Shuten-dōji was a child of Orochi.
This snake god here is Suika's nephew/niece ❤️
Thinking about, Ichi probably felt bad that she called the two out like that and got Ken captured.
Ken and Kaede had no hostile intentions and really risked their lives just to ask her that question for Nobunaga.
Actually, having Inoue serve the yuzuke here is pretty beautiful.
Ken's yuzuke saved his life all the way back then, and here another one that Inoue served was saving Nobunaga's life.
Oh Nobunaga enshrined in Sōkenji, forgive me for what I'm about to do after witnessing Page 7.
For real though, I don't think I've ever seen as much as a visible chest in this manga 'till now.
