More detailed AAR of the 5th scenario.
Goro, the river bandits’ second in command has joined a rival gang, and now he returns with them to take back the spoils of the river bandits’ last raid.
Rokurō, the river bandit leader, immediately confronts Goro, but Goro cuts him down with one blow. Incensed, the river bandits attack and a fierce fight erupts around Rokurō’s body. Another group attacks the camp from the opposite direction and Toranosuke and Iemon begin a fight with these, gradually driving them back, but taking them further away from the others.
The battle rages until the attackers lose their nerve and back away. Nezumi, a runaway boy form Atsuta, rushes forward and fatally stabs Goro. As the other attackers turn to run, only their leader is left. He fights on bravely before being overcome by Toranosuke, Iemon and Genzaburō, one of the river bandits.
As the dust settles, only 4 of the river bandits survive. Two of them glare accusingly at Toranosuke, and walk away. Genzaburō decides to head over to the Kiso river, where he has family. Toranosuke offers to take Nezumi back to his village. But only after some unfinished business in Atsuta.
