The episode opens with Miaka and her loyal companions, Tamahome, Nuriko, Hotohori, and Chichiri, still trapped in Kutou, a hostile kingdom ruled by the powerful Emperor Hotohori's doppelganger, Nakago. With tensions between the neighboring kingdoms growing, Miaka and her friends must find a way to escape Kutou and return to their home kingdom, Konan.
