自分を守っていたのが実力ではなく「形(外見)」だったと気づき、動揺して無数の槍に貫かれ討ち死にした

The real Shinbei tried to wield his invincible martial arts as usual, but confronting the eerie psychological pressure of the enemy who felt no fear of him at all and relentlessly thrust spears at him, he was shocked to realize for the first time: 'It was not my true ability that protected me, but the 'image' (katachi) of the scarlet helmet.' Shaken, Shinbei fell entirely on the defensive, and was finally pierced by countless spears, dying a sudden death. It is an immortal masterpiece ending of Taisho literature, depicting the terrifying magic of appearances.
