Ep. 15: Burando's Failed Immortality Experiments and the Capture of Doa and Isaku

15

Asaemon Yoshihiro Yamada prepares to execute Manji and Dewanosuke, but Dewanosuke appears to gain immortality, earning Burando a reprieve. Kagimura tests Dewanosuke by stabbing his heart, killing him, yet demands Burando continue the experiment. Burando fails with new subjects, driving him toward insanity as Kagimura grants a ten-day deadline. During a search for victims, Kagimura’s men encounter Doa Yoshino, Isaku Yasonokami, and Rin. Doa kills most attackers, but Isaku throws the women into a river and is captured due to his Christian pacifism. Revitalized, Burando resumes experiments with animal masks, horrifying assistant Toraeman. By day 65, Burando has collected significant data on blood affinities and immortality despite the earlier failures.
