This worry continues as she is shown waiting tirelessly for his return once he does come to Manjidani after Gyōbu Kasumi and Saemon Kisaragi have informed him of the end of the Pact and of the Iga's intentions. Kagerō places herself in front of Hyouma, and effortlessly blocks the shuriken with one of her own hairpins, scowling furiously at the Iga.Īfter the Iga leave, Kagerō mutters "Gennosuke-sama." to herself, showing that she is worried both by the Iga's renewed hostility, as well as the fact that Gennosuke Kōga is in Tsubagakure visiting Oboro. He then flings his sword in an arc motion in order to hurl the shuriken at Hyouma. Tenzen then produces as evidence a Kouga shuriken that was stuck in the hilt of his sword. Tenzen replies that the Iga were attacked first, and thus were forced to defend themselves. Hyouma arrives and demands to know what is going on. A ferocious battle erupts in which many Kouga Ninja are slaughtered. His prediction proved correct as Tenzen Yakushiji, Nenki Mino, Hotarubi, Koshirō Chikuma and Rōsai Azuki arrive in the hopes of eliminating the remaining members of the Kouga Ten in one fell swoop. Hyouma, through his own superior sense of hearing, announces that enemies are on their way to Manjidani.
She demures each time, and at one point is seen bitterly biting her own lip. Hyouma is always quick to come to Gennosuke's defense and chastise her for her comments. She suggests that Gennosuke is going through the marriage more out of political practicality than any genuine love for an Iga woman, and that the Kouga should kill 'that little tramp'.
But even Gyoubu's hostility gets dwarfed by Kagerō's openly stated resentments against the marriage. Gyoubu is hostile towards the whole idea, having his reasons for wanting the destruction of the Iga.
Hyouma is the most understanding with respect to Gennosuke's intentions, that Gennosuke intends the best for the future of both Kouga and Iga alike. Kagerō sits in conversation with Hyōma Muroga and Gyōbu Kasumi on the subject of Gennosuke Kōga's pending marriage to Oboro. Despite Saemon Kisaragi's doubt of that ever happening, Hyouma revealed they were actually several men in Kouga willing to sacrifice all for one night of pleasure with her. Gennosuke's grandfather, Danjō Kōga must have seen how extreme Kagerō's conduct was becoming as he told Hyōma Muroga before setting out for Sunpu that perhaps it was time to find a man for the young woman. It is also known she was a very vocal opponent of the upcoming wedding. When he refused to tell her the future of Gennosuke Kōga and Oboro's marriage, she left the room in anger, close to tears. Kagerō is seen very briefly in a flashback speaking with Juubei Jimushi. When the Kouga finally learned the Hattori truce had indeed been absolved, few were happier about the news than Kagerō who saw it as an opportunity to seek revenge on Oboro for taking what she felt should've been hers.
She wears a light pink kimono tied with a purple sash and a yellow cord.ĭue to the upcoming wedding of Gennosuke and Oboro, Kagerō has become distraught resulting in a jaded persona full of envy and bitterness Kagerō's hatred for Oboro slowly beginning to consume her with some of the things she'd say often resulting in her swiftly getting reprimand by Hyouma. She is representative of the traditional concept of the Kunoichi in her ability to use her sex appeal to attract and manipulate the opposite sex. Much like her Iga counterpart, Akeginu, Kagerō is a highly attractive woman with black hair tied in a ponytail where she places traditional decorative combs and needles in, although she does leaves some hair to cover her face, often concealing her violet-colored eyes and red lipstick.
