Mie begins eating again and recovering her strength. The murder of the Kogan apprentices was attributed to Okitsu which shocked everyone in Kagegawa, but conveniently closed the case. Meanwhile Kogan violently accuses Ushimata and Fujiki of selling out the Kogan style for money like Okitsu before lapsing into a state of dementia for 49 days. After Kogan recovers, a letter is delivered summoning the Kogan clan to the palace of the blind Kengyou Shizuhata. Kogan is shown a Spanish rapier wielded by the warrior, Sekiun, who uses it in place of a katana. He is asked if it is a wazamono and Kogan replies is it is suitable for display only. Kengyou then asks Kogan to provide Fujiki for a demonstration bout against Sekiun who will use the rapier, while Fujiki will use a wooden sword. As the bout is ready to commence, Kogan steps forward in Fujiki's place. Somewhat unprepared, Kogan is pierced through the chest by the rapier, watched by Irako and Lady Iku. However, now understanding the technique, Kogan blocks the rapier thrust with his wooden sword and beats Sekiun with his hands. Defeated, Sekiun attacks Kengyou, but Sekiun is killed by the bodyguard. Later, Irako taunts Fujiki and threatens that he will be the next to suffer. (Source: Wikipedia)
