I have to say, even Roa found the development of events somewhat surprising.
But the all-inclusive service Kurozumi Semimaru had prepared for Kozuki Oden was certainly intense.
Then again, Roa thought about it. When Kozuki Oden was defeated in the original story, it seemed to have been more or less the same.
The only difference was that the hostage had been fake, and the one who launched the surprise attack had been Kaido.
Perhaps this was fate.

Only now did Kozuki Oden's retainers snap out of their incomprehensible daze. Terrified, they hurried toward Kozuki Oden.
