Kanetsugu lay on the ground with his own sword taken by Ariel and he dares, "Martyr me, for the Uesugi." Sweat is seen on the girl's face and 7 seconds later, she says, "No." Then, the sun comes up and Kanetsugu got up. "So, you choose to honor our friendship, by not killing me." The young man took his blade back. "Yes, had I killed you, I would've made your old man very angry." Ariel bowed. "There would've been no excuse, as killing you would be a crime I would not commit." The Uesugi officer prepared to walk. "Then when we have the chance, we should fight together at times." Ariel insisted. Seeing this, Naoe drew the Japanese symbols of love, honor, and righteousness with his sword. "Do you swear an oath of partnership to me?" Kanetsugu asked. "I do." Ariel replied "Do you swear to fight for Love and Honor?" Naoe asked, "I do." Ariel nodded. "Do you swear not to violate the oath?" Kanetsugu raised his blade. "I do." Ariel raised her left arm. Then, a few Uesugi officers came by, "Sir, Kenshin wants a report! He was worried sick for you!" an officer reported. "Then let's give the Oda, enemy of Love and Honor, hell!" Kanetsugu raises his sword, Ariel was given a sword and raised it, "Let's do it!" The men raised their weapons with yells. As the frame freezes, we hear narration "Thus, a new partnership between Ariel, and the Naoe clan was born. Months later, the Oda clan surrendered to the Uesugi with the death of Nobunaga. In return for her services, Ariel was given a serrated sword much like Kenshin's that she could use. That was the Naoe way."
