Utsusemi: Watanabe no Tsuna (Chapter Three). Interesting take on the famous story of Watanabe no Tsuna and the Demon Ibaraki. This is the part of the story where Ibaraki, having disguised herself as an old woman to see the severed arm in the box, has just grabbed the arm and flown away with it into the sky. Watanabe no Tsuna has been thrown backwards here, and has made a futile strike with his sword. Only the severed green arm of the demon is visible, disappearing into a swirling black vortex.
