the Shed, where the Oni will appear through the floor and start the final chase.
In Version 6.23, the Garden appears for a brief time and does not serve any other purpose than an entrance to the old building. The Takeshi Oni may appear on the path, and will always appear from the Annex rather than the old building. It will come out of the Annex if you are attempting to go there with the Blockman oni in pursuit. It then reappears in the end when fleeing from Takuro Oni for the 2nd time and acts as the last playable area of the game.
Upon completing the concluding chase sequence; a short cutscene plays out where the camera pans towards the Takuro Oni, after which the screen promptly fades out.
