Strategy to Defeat Juzou

The best thing to do is to kill all the enemies around Juzou before confronting him. If you talk to Nogami Gensai, he will also support you in the fight. He is the key to victory! However, you must first defeat all other enemies before you call Nogami into the battle.

To kill the surrounding enemies go through the buildings of the left side and take them one by one. Follow the course and you can then stab an enemy with a wooden shield - now all enemies are storming towards you!

Kill the henchman as fast as possible and then eliminate one opponent after another until only Juzou is left.

Now escape back to the building and wait for Juzou to lose track and return to his starting position.
