Iemori falls into Yorinaga's trap and dies from falling off his horse, which strongly shakes the Taira family. Tadamori, however, shows no sign of perturbation, and asks the retired Emperor Toba, who had ordered Tadamori to reconstruct the main hall of Mt. Koya, to let Kiyomori lead the reconstruction instead. A year later, Nariko, who has become Empress Dowager Bifuku, hints to Tadamori that he might be granted the title equal to the aristocrats after the completion of the reconstruction. Meanwhile, Yorinaga appears and makes an insulting remark on Iemori to Tadamori.
