Ep. 13: Mugai-ryuu Banquet Massacre and Manji's Capture by Habaki
At a banquet hosted by Kagimura Habaki for Ittou-ryuu dojo leaders, nine are killed while Sosuke Abayama survives because he was outside. Giichi collects payment from Habaki and demands Hyakurin, but Habaki refuses. Anotsu, blaming his own complacency for the massacre, decides the remaining Ittou-ryuu leaders should separate and hide until winter. Abayama kills Makoto for leaking information. Giichi offers Rin and Manji a chance to join Mugai-ryuu, but Manji refuses and defeats Giichi in combat, agreeing to meet Habaki. Habaki tests Manji's immortality by stabbing him, then captures him. Manji wakes chained in a dungeon. Meanwhile, Rin is taken by Hyakurin for food. Back at their hut, Rin is awakened by Ittou-ryuu fighters Doa Yoshino and Isaku Yasonokami seeking shelter.
