Hamada is depicted as a renegade servant of Matsunoshin Gohda, recognized for his distinctive eyeglasses.
In Rikimaru's narrative, it is revealed that Hamada is complicit in Tokubei Echigoya's plan to sell girls into slavery. Rikimaru takes swift action, infiltrating Gohda Castle to eliminate Hamada before any harm can be inflicted upon Gohda.
In Ayame's story, the plot takes a different turn as Hamada seizes Gohda and demands the Jewel of Virtue. Ayame intervenes, discovering Hamada on the verge of harming Gohda. Despite a momentary semblance of mercy, Ayame releases Gohda and engages in a lethal confrontation with Hamada, ultimately killing him. The revelation of Tenrai's influence further adds a mysterious and ominous element to the events surrounding Hamada's demise.
Boss fight
