Japan. Yawn. Time to catch up with Ando and Hiro and the subplot that will NEVER DIE. You don't mind if I nap, do you? The restorer has been working on the scrolls, and is actually reading them without Ando. Oh, the horror! Ando enters and bitches him out, and then takes a seat so that he can revisit Hiro's pointless story.
Back in the past, the Tedious Trio is preparing to take on White Beard's Camp of Thousands. Even with his and Kensei's powers, Hiro's not sure it's going to be a successful rescue. Across the way, Yaeko is completing her lovely artistic interpretation of the camp below, even though I'm thinking maybe she should, I don't know, be sharpening her SWORD instead of inking her BRUSH? Hiro tries to convince Yaeko not to come with them on the raid, but she insists that she's no petite fleur, and that as long as her man Kensei is by her side, she has nothing to fear. She looks at her pretty painting and wonders how they will find her father amidst all these many tents. Hiro repeats what he knows from the storybook his father used to read to him, and says that the sword smith will be found in the tent that has smoke rising from it. He points it out on the painting, and the tent he selects is red, while all the others are tan; stellar camouflage there, White Beard. Yaeko chastises him for guessing when her father's life is at stake, but then softens and asks him why he's still there, fighting for a man he doesn't even know. Before Hiro can answer, Kensei appears, and elatedly announces that the sword smith will be found in the big-ass red tent that looks like it belongs to the head dude. Oh, and that also has smoke rising from it. That's probably important, too. Yaeko looks at Hiro suspiciously and he just geeks something about how awesome Kensei is and runs off to get ready for battle.
