Ep. 7: Rin versucht, Manji zu heilen, während Shizuma eine tödliche Falle mit einer getarnten alten Frau stellt.

7

Rin gives Manji some pills to neutralize the poison in his body and although he initially rejects the idea, he eventually takes them. Rin tries to find a doctor late at night, and meets an old woman disguised as Yaobikuni who offers to aid her. However it is a trap set up by Shizuma to kidnap Rin. Shizuma returns the old woman's grandchild to her as part of his bargain, but then to Rin's horror he kills her. Shizuma tells Rin that he served under a military commander two hundred years ago during the Sengoku period where eventually, his family, his unit, the officer and his lord all died in battle, leaving nothing. Shizuma offers Rin some of his blood, which could make her immortal, but Manji interrupts them. He and Shizuma fight mercilessly and Manji declines Shizuma's offer a second time to work with him to overthrow Anotsu. Shizuma poisons his sword once again, but when Rin creates a distraction, Manji attacks, impaling Shizuma on his own poisoned sword. Shizuma tells Manji that Anotsu is in Fukagawa before he passes away. Rin tells Manji that immortality may not be the solution and may only bring sadness. (Source: Wikipedia)
