Mie resumes eating to regain her strength while the Kogan apprentices' murder case is closed by blaming Okitsu. Kogan accuses Ushimata and Fujiki of betraying their style for money before suffering dementia for 49 days. Upon recovery, the clan is summoned to the palace of the blind Kengyou Shizuhata. Kogan inspects a Spanish rapier used by the warrior Sekiun, deeming it suitable only for display. Kengyou orders Fujiki to spar with Sekiun using a wooden sword against the rapier, but Kogan substitutes himself. Initially pierced in the chest, Kogan blocks the thrust and defeats Sekiun. Sekiun attacks Kengyou but is killed by a bodyguard. Irako subsequently taunts Fujiki, threatening future harm.
