Rise of Kumasogami
Tsukinowa infiltrates Kumaso, where he channels a dark spell to awaken the slumbering lava golem, Kumasogami, in order to kill Yamato Takeru and his companions.
Background:
Originally set to occur during scenes 78 and 80, Tsukinowa’s involvement in the events that transpire in the land of Kumaso never made it to the big screen. As a result, whether or not the sorcerer had anything to do with Kumasogami’s sudden reawakening is never explained in the finished movie. |

The Birth of Oto Tachibana
After their escapades in the Kumaso kingdom, Oto’s older sister informs her about the night she was born. It is revealed that Oto was granted life by Amaterasu’s divine messenger, Amano Shiratori, as a sign from the gods. With this realization, Oto embarks on a journey to find Ousu.
Background:
Intended to appear during scenes 99-101, the full sequence of Etachibana informing her younger sibling about the secret of her birth was filmed, but never made it into the movie. In the final cut, Oto simply gazes at her battle uniform before finding Yamato Takeru in the following scene. |

Orochi's Wrath
After blowing Orochi away with a powerful pulse, the eight-headed serpent begins its assault against the weakened warrior. Perpetually blasting the armored samurai with a volley of its lightning blasts, Utsuno Ikusagami eventually collapses. Overwhelmed, Orochi closes the gap, intending to finish their fight.
Background:
Originally envisioned in the storyboards, this scene was removed from the final version in order not to compromise Utsuno Ikusagami's strength. Additionally, a follow up scene in which Ikusagami tears off Orochi’s tail was filmed, evident by its inclusion in the storyboards and the continuity error of a tailless Orochi in the latter half of the fight. |
