Ep. 11: Manji and Magatsu confront Shira while Rin encounters Anotsu after collapsing.

11

Manji and Magatsu arrive at Uenohara, where they are ambushed by Shina, who now has white hair and hired swordsmen. Shira cuts off Manji’s hand, but Manji reattaches it and retreats to allow Magatsu to avenge O-Ren’s death. Shira injures Magatsu using sharpened forearm bones, prompting Manji to engage Shira, who escapes once more. While Manji fights the swordsmen, Magatsu pursues Shira for a bloody duel that leaves both heavily wounded. When Shira hangs from a cliff by one hand, Magatsu severs it, causing Shira to fall into the river below. Manji gives Magatsu half the stolen money and departs for Kaga. Meanwhile, Rin collapses from exhaustion and hunger, only to be discovered by Anotsu.
