Ep. 10: Rin travels to Kaga while Manji seeks a pass and Shira returns to Hyakurin.

10

Rin journeys to Kaga, surviving by foraging. Manji meets a man offering a pass and encounters Magatsu. Shira returns to Hyakurin and Shinriji, claiming to seek Giichi, then departs. Kinuka and the Ittou-ryuu, guided by Shira, attack them. They capture Hyakurin and kill Shinriji when he intervenes. Kinuka’s group tortures and rapes Hyakurin to extract Mugai-ryuu information. Giichi finds Shinriji’s body, tracks the attackers, and kills Kinuka in combat. A guard threatens Hyakurin, but she frees herself using a blade from her shoe and kills him. Giichi reports the events and tends to Hyakurin, who sleeps for three days, dreaming of her past. She subsequently cuts her hair and places the locks on Shinriji’s grave.
