The body that Utsuro saw lying on the ground was himself. Instead, supported by Oboro whose blood also runs through his body, Takasugi stabbed himself. Gintoki is separated from the others and faces off Utsuro, now manifesting in Takasugi's body, Utsuro comes to a realisation that Takasugi did not stab Utsuro earlier. This causes a large explosion at the top of the Terminal. As he approaches Takasugi, the latter stabs him, revealing that Utsuro's blood has taken over his body as well. Shouyou apologizes for not being able to save his disciples, the ones that he truly wanted to protect. Takasugi begs Shouyou to return to Shoka Sonjuku with him. Shouyou's only wish is to put an end to himself and Utsuro. In the meantime, Takasugi reaches the Tendoushuu's ship to find that Shouyou has been revived and killed off the rest of the Tendoushuu. Then Gintoki reunites with Kagura and Shinpachi and they rush towards the top of the terminal.

In the terminal, the Shinsengumi, Hyakka, Oniwabanshu and the rest of the Kabukicho residents fight the rest of the Tendoushuu army, while Matsudaira shoots down the ships outside. Without the heart, Shouyou would only be able to regenerate and maintain his body temporarily. Katsura and Hitsugi engage in a fierce battle, and the latter eventually stabs and destroys the heart, revealing that he had no intention of reviving the child he only wanted to free Utsuro from the curse of immortality. As the group is attacked, they split up into two, with Katsura holding on to Shouyou's heart. The mothership at the top of the terminal is absorbing large amounts of Altana and channeling it into the body of the child Shouyou in order to resurrect him and obtain true immortality. Gintoki, Takasugi and Katsura fight past the Tendoushuu forces, who have taken over the Terminal.
