She kicks ass with stylea completely different style from Sagiri or even Gabimaru.
Before she does this, Jiujin informs them that unfortunately, thereisno Elixir of Life to be found there.
For one thing, Yuzuriha and Sagiri both use theirtaoeven if they havent mastered it.
But like Gabimaru and Choubei, Sagiri is able to intuitively, spontaneously summonmoretao through her breathing techniques.
When she slashes him across the face, the wound doesnt immediately heal.
Jiujin goes down, doesnt regenerate, and stops moving.
Yuzuriha leans on Sagiri and declares a hard-won victory.
But he was still lying to himself about what he was.
And while Yuzuriha lies to just about everyone about everything, she never lies to herself.
She is always nothing more or less than Yuzuriha the kunoichi.
You could call her his first and only true muse, but its too late for Senta.
His backstory was a transparent death flag, and he has succumbed to the flowers to eventually become tan.
She tells Sagiri this is a monster too strong for them to defeat.
But along comes Shion to bail them out at the last second.
Its too late for Senta, but not for Yuzuriha or Sagiri to keep living and figure things out.
