Synopsis

If they were to extinguish the fires of the Furnace of Eight Divinations, which carries the souls of the dead to the afterlife, then the living world be thrown into great disorder. Having explained things thus, An'nin then suddenly attacks Goku by becoming a giant!! But Goku counters with the Bashō Fan, and seeing it, An'nin says that it can create an opening in the furnace's flames, allowing them to plug up the hole in the furnace. Since Goku already has the honey from old lady Hakkake and the shell of the Fire-Eating Bird's egg, both of which are required to do this, he is able to seal up the hole in the furnace!! The castle's fire dies down, and Goku and Chi-Chi's wedding ceremony proceeds safely.
