Eleven French sailors and a midshipman, Guillou,…

At this time, the port of Sakai is not open to foreign ships, and the Tosa troops are in charge of policing the city.

The French captain Dupetit Thouars protests so strongly that twenty-nine troop members who admit firing shot as well as the troop leaders will be sentenced to death by seppuku at Myōkoku-ji.

However, fearing that executing all troop members will inflame anti foreign sentiment which were already rife in Japan, the number will be reduced to twenty by draw.

However, at the execution, indignant samurai throw their own intestines to shocked French who are observing the execution.

After eleven perform their own execution, which matches the number of French killed, the French captain requests a pardon, sparing nine of the samurai to banishment instead.
