Gonta presented Koremori's head and tied up his wife and child to deliver them to officials, receiving a reward. Outraged by this, Gonta's biological father stabbed him. However, just before dying, Gonta revealed the truth: 'The head presented was a fake, and the tied-up wife and child were my own. I did this as a substitution to save Lord Koremori.' Learning that Gonta had actually repented and shown loyalty, his father wept deeply. It is a famous scene where parental love and betrayal interlace.
