Episode 20
Yugiri's backstory is central to this episode, back in 1881 when Yugiri was a living, legendary courtesan. Near the end of her career she's freed from her profession by an older gentlemen who soon dies, leaving a portion of his fortune to her, and she lives the rest of her days in Saga (now Nagasaki, during the interregnum). Yugiri takes up dance teaching in Saga, and her students insist that she go outside to see the cherry blossoms. While out, she meets Kiichi Momozaki, who saves her from getting run over by a cart but subsequently falls in a lake, so she pulls him out.

Kiichi tries to give Yugiri a gift afterward, but soon passes out in embarrassment. Yugiri visits him in turn with her own gift, given that he "brav[ed] the blazing sun" to visit her earlier. They talk about Kiichi's vision for a free Saga, no longer occupied by Nagasaki, a vision he pursues because of his grandfather. Yugiri admires his dream, and later she, Kiichi, and Shojiro Ito have dinner together. Kiichi again passes out in embarrassment, so Shojiro talks to Yugiri about how times have changed and that everyone should accept that Saga is gone. Although Yugiri mentions Kiichi's ideal of a new Saga where everyone might pursue their own destiny, Shojiro is unmoved and soon leaves.

Episode 21
Yugiri lets Kiichi know that his grandfather is not doing well, and he lets her know that their plan to petition for the return of Saga moves apace. Later, she gets a picture with Shojiro and Kiichi, and afterward Shojiro identifies Kiichi's new comrades as Saga's old ruling class, raising Yugiri's suspicions. She later overhears these comrades discussing a more violent means of retaking Saga, and discusses it with Xu Fu, who seems aware of their intentions and simply says that matters of life and death will be decided by men. When he refuses to take his medicine, saying that there's no saving Saga, Yugiri forces him to take his medicine; given that Xu claims to be Saga, and waxes and wanes with it, this presages Yugiri's involvement in the freeing of the prefecture.

Shojiro later advises Yugiri to leave, implying that Kiichi has unwittingly stirred up a revolution that could be dangerous for her, but she instead admonishes him for underestimating Kiichi's ambitions. Unsettled, Shojiro simply tells her to watch after Kiichi, then leaves. She takes him seriously, and writes several letters: one which she mails immediately to her allies in Nagasaki, putting them on alert to assist Kiichi when the time comes; another, to Kiichi himself with instructions on how to free the prefecture, to be given to him later on; and one last, to Xu Fu himself, which she hides with his medicine to also be found later. Snow falls, and Shojiro massacres the nascent revolution, leaving their blood on the white snow. He nearly kills Kiichi as well, but at the last moment, Yugiri emerges with a sword and blocks Shojiro long enough for police to arrive, sending them all scattering in different directions. Yugiri guides Kiichi away, insisting that he leave Saga, but he has given up hope, and simply wants to surrender and let Yugiri leave. She slaps him, admonishing him to not allow the men who died for his cause to have died in vain, and sends him on his way to Nagasaki with her letter, telling him to read it when he arrives and to call on her old allies so that he can free Saga.

Yugiri then remains, smoking, in the middle of their trail — which Shojiro was following. He arrives before her, hunting Kiichi, but Yugiri doesn't intend to let him pass. He rushes her, but she dodges at the last second and mortally wounds him with her sword. He collapses, and as he lies dying, admits to her that he wants to see the Saga that Kiichi will bring into being. He then dies in her arms, and she leaves to take the blame for the failed revolution, being executed summarily by the military.

With Kiichi leaving to restore Saga, Xu Fu is restored to health. He finds her letter for him, which explains her actions, and asks him to lie to Kiichi that she escaped to safety, should Kiichi ever ask after her. Kiichi then goes on to free Saga, while Yugiri is brought back as a zombie.

Snapping back to the present, Yugiri is preparing to perform with the rest of Franchouchou, and sings a courtesan's ode to Saga with the rest of the group. Afterward, she retires to a private bar, tended by none other than Xu Fu himself — still alive, slightly younger, and restored to complete health. They discuss the modern era, and Yugiri says that she intends to walk her own path in Kiichi's new Saga.

Episode 22
Prior to the disastrous performance at EFS, Yugiri was given confidence by Sakura Minamoto's optimism, saying that all of their previous performances required something crazy anyway. The performance nonetheless went terribly, and she walked dejectedly offstage with the rest of Franchouchou at its end. In the aftermath, when the group takes inspiration from Tae Yamada, Yugiri assures Lily that she can help them to drag themselves out of their rut to keep going.

Together with Junko, they make ceramic masks to cover the makeup on their faces, masks that break due to their fragility and expose their faces to the public. Instead of being scared, the children exclaim that they are Franchouchou and that real zombies are scary.

Kotaro arrives where the girls are, Yugiri just looks at Kotaro with a smile because she knows what he's going to do. While she is putting makeup on them, he talks to them about the revenge concert that will take place on March 8, 2020.
