Ep. 17: Rin frees Manji from prison while Burando falls and Yamada meets his end.

17

Rin locates Manji in the underground prison but is intercepted by Burando. She utilizes her new combat abilities to defeat him and liberate Manji. Concurrently, Toraeman permits anxious wives and mothers to enter the prison gates to locate their relatives. As Rin works to remove Manji’s shackles, Kagimura arrives. Rin creates a distraction, allowing Manji to throw a hairpin into Kagimura’s eye, which is contaminated by bodily fluids, leading to his death from poisoning. Yamada appears but is followed by Doa and Isaku, who survived after Doa reconnected his severed body parts. Yamada confesses to cutting Isaku, prompting Doa to attack him. Yamada nearly slices the iron plate in her hat but is interrupted by flooding water. Manji kills Yamada during the chaos and escapes with Rin. Outside, guard dissent leads some to allow women into the compound, preventing conflict. Burando later destroys his notes, acknowledging the futility of seeking immortality. Rin and Manji recover and part ways with Isaku and Doa, who gives Rin an Ainu tradition memento.
