It's like this. It is said that Crocodile was originally edited by the editor to cut off a goddess line featuring Butterfly Kanae.
(I don't know the origin of the legend. If you know, you can tell me. It's been a while. I saw it in a small h book before, but now I can't find the original post.
I searched for the post about Butterfly Bone Goddess, but it's not that one. I don't do orthopedics. )
This goddess line is a line to coordinate with the development progress of Butterfly Ninjusai and their ghost-turning potion.
The related branch lines include the Raiichimon line, because the goddess line is about the butterfly Kanae being brought back by a child who turned into a ghost. After turning into a goddess, she joined forces with Soyama Komaji who was forced to become a ghost early, and Ina Tamaki who later turned into a ghost in order to survive. The three of them serve as a line of a small group of traitors.
Maybe everyone is not willing to become a ghost, so we unite together...
(The above are all the things I remember mentioned in the post)
They should help Komaji recover his memory in advance, and then the time it takes for Kōji to transform into a ghost should be relatively long, at least it won't be the final battle between the generals who just turned into ghosts. (I think it is still the ghost after the knife-forging village, but there will be a long period of time between the knife-forging village and the final battle, which is not as fast as the original)
For Ao, it's really the goddess' salvation. When she met the previous one who turned into a ghost and survived, she was still confused about her future. As soon as Kanae came to communicate, Ao found out, eh, I don't just die or become a ghost, I can also be a spy!
There is no need for Kuwashima to commit seppuku. Uyashiki should tell Kuwashima about it.
(This paragraph is my speculation and is not included in the post)
Then I will roll the dice to determine the plot
Concept: her other possibility
