*DownerEnding: In the very last cycle, Okko realizes he's too old to continue his errant life after he accidentally kills a man (a noodle merchant running after them because they forgot their chopsticks), retiring to a monastery. Along the way, we learn more about his childhood, including the fact that he once killed another child in a swordfight (the son of one of his father's retainers) and that [[spoiler:Noburo is his brother]]. And after the group parts ways, the mother of the boy he killed finally gets her revenge (after years of sleeping with random {{ronin}} so they'd kill Okko) when she's rescued by a poet to whom she recounts (her version of) the events, completely destroying Okko's reputation (not that it matters to him, since he's in a monastery).
