As of this date I see only six episodes with English subtitles.
Kim Yushin and Gildal swing their respective weapons and miss each other entirely. (This either means they're that good or they're that bad at fighting.) The bigger Gildal manages to disarm Yushin and injure the boy. Just as Gildal's going in for the kill, Chunchu suddenly remembers he has a bunch of armed men just standing there doing nothing, so he orders them to attack. Gildal wraps himself up in his cloak right before he's struck with numerous arrows. The guards rush over and surround the human pincushion. An alive and unscathed Gildal erupts from the folds of his cloak (what is that thing made of?!) and butchers the hapless guards who deserved to die because they were absolutely useless. Well, not absolutely useless. While they kept Gildal occupied with their deaths, Yushin, Chunchu, and Chunmyung got the hell outta there.
The trio decide to split up since they know it's Chunchu the assassins are after. Yushin and Chunchu dash off in one direction, chased by ninjas with dogs. Since this isn't working, Yushin settles on splitting up again. He orders Chunchu to head down the mountain while he creates a diversion. Yushin is running through a creek when he's attacked by Wolverine's Korean sister. Then Gildal and his ninjas arrive to surround Yushin. The Golden Fox demands to know where Chunchu is but Yushin won't say. Gildal starts to slice the boy with his wicked halberd when Chunchu suddenly appears and stops the crazy blond. Gildal decides to strike Yushin in the back anyway. A crying Chunchu rushes over to hold his bleeding friend. Gildal begins to execute Chunchu as well when Bihyeong's hawk swoops in and attacks Gildal's face. Bad ass bird! Now the Gwimun swarm in and surround the ninjas.
Gildal refuses to surrender so everyone gets to splash around in the river and kill each other. ('Cause Koreans sure love to watch people sword fighting in water.) The tide turns against the ninjas, leaving only Gildal, Wolverine's sister, and Mohawk to retreat. Along the way, Gildal encounters his old boss, Bihyeong, standing next to a rugged waterfall. The two rivals fight, halberd against iron fan. Turns out the halberd has a hidden sword. Bihyeong manages to gain the sword and he thrusts it into the back of Gildal. The Golden Fox staggers, then falls over the side of the cliff. Bihyeong looks over the side but doesn't see a body.
Some good Gwimun located Chunmyung and reunite her with her son. Chunchu just cries and cries. You wuss. Bihyeong tells mother and son to return to Seorabeol. He'll treat Yushin's wounds back at their camp. As they're treating Yushin's back they discover... a tattoo? a birthmark? Anyway, there's something on his back that bald Nanseung declares is the Seven Stars. This means Yushin is very special.
Wolverine's sister and Mohawk find an injured Gildal further down the river.
At court the next day, King Jinpyeong demands to know who would dare attempt to kill Chunchu. Sukheuljong manages to point the finger at Bihyeong and convinces the king to send troops to execute this bandit king.
Yushin wakes up after ten days. Nanseung takes the boy for a tour around Gwimun headquarters where all sorts of stunt men and even stunt kids are training. Yushin's in heaven!
Queen Sado still has her hat set on getting the mentally unstable Galmunwang named crowned prince. A nervous Yongchun, worried about his son's safety, wishes to put a stop to having Chunchu named heir. It's announced that a healed Kim Yushin has returned to the fold.
King Jinpyeong throws a banquet. A bunch of brides break out into choreographed dance as the beguiling Cheongwan does a fan dance. Party pooper Chunchu says they shouldn't be having such a fancy banquet while the people are suffering. Galmunwang poops the party even more when he flies over the cuckoo's nest and starts killing people left and right. This is some party, Jinpyeong. Pat yourself on the back.
Despite this psychotic episode, Queen Sado won't give up her pipe dream of Galmunwang being king. Now she suggests Princess Deokman marry the nut and have his baby. (Every time they show this Queen Sado she's got this little girl standing behind her. The girl has yet to say anything but the camera keeps showing her to us. I still don't know her name but it's obvious she's going to be important later on.)
Yongchun goes to Queen Sado and gets down on his knees to beg her to spare his son's life, promising he'll do anything. (Kids, never ever say to someone, "I'll do anything.") Sado asks for him to bring her the head of Bihyeong.
An alive and well Gildal meets with Sukheuljong and offers his services in the destruction of the Gwimun.
Yongchun takes charge of the force of Hwarang that's being sent against the Gwimun. (I'm sorry but I can't take any of those soldiers seriously with all that mime makeup and silly helmets.) Not knowing today is the day, Yushin and Chunchu go to Gwimun headquarters to meet with Bihyeong and discuss morality.
The soldiers and Gildal's forces attack and are quite successful. After the battle, those that surrendered are gathered in the village square. Despite Yongchun wanting to spare the villagers, including the young children, Sukheuljong's orders were to kill everyone. As the bloodshed commences, Bihyeong and Chunchu show up. Bihyeong holds a sword to his nephew's throat (does Chunchu know the guy's his uncle?) and threatens to kill Chunchu if the mass murder isn't stopped.
