The Dragon King fares well even among the powerful youkai who rule the mountain village, a special place. Thus, his voice is one of the four, carrying no more weight than the others, yet he views himself as a sort of leader and likely feels too often compelled to enforce the Council's decisions. Since a problem with Musashi has arisen in the village once again—a problem he believed he had rid the village of 15 years ago—he is forced to accept him again. He said so, but everything else proceeds with squeamishness, and if necessary, he would also consider Musashi's death, because after all, Musashi has dared to sully the purity of his daughter Nami, increasing his rage and vindictiveness immeasurably.
