After eliminating the other members, you'll face the final trio: Corrupt Blade, Laughing Man, and Peacock. Head to the Nishinomiya Shrine west of Amagasaki Castle, where you can choose to confront them individually or together. For efficiency, opt to face them as a group by traveling to the Harima region. From the Kakogawa Estuary, head northeast to Takagi Otsuka Fort, then east to a courtyard next to a medium-sized hut where the three await. Utilize nearby NPCs to distract them, and strike when the opportunity arises to decisively end the Kabukimono threat.
