Important things that happened

There is an attack by Nanashi Renjyuu, but they are stopped by Shiba Takeru, the 18th head of the Shiba clan/ShinkenRed.
Doukoku's ship arises from the Sanzu River and we are introduced to Usukawatayuu, Hone no Shitari, and Chimatsuri Doukoku.
Shitari sends an Ayakashi to serve as a distraction to Doukoku.
Against Takeru's wishes, Jii sends out a message to the 4 samurai that were raised to be Takeru's vassals: Ikenami Ryunosuke (ShinkenBlue), Shiraishi Mako (ShikenPink), Tani Chiaki (ShinkenGreen), and Hanaori Kotoha (ShinkenYellow) to gather.
Takeru offers them a chance to back out, and after they decide not to, he gives them each a ShodouPhone.
After defeating the Ayakashi, it uses its 2nd life to come back and the Shinkengers use their Origami to defeat the 2nd life.
