19

Anotsu is pursued by the Rokki-dan and again encounters Rin who helps him to escape them. Anotsu had told the officials that he would go to Satsuma, but it was a ruse. He offers to take Rin with him, but only if Manji accompanies him as he prepares for a showdown. Meanwhile, Sousuke Abayama leads a band of Ittou-ryuu recruits on a mission to lead the Rokki-dan away from Anotsu. Rokki-dan spies, Meguro and Tanpopo, encounter a group of Shogunate troops and Tanpopo is wounded by a poisoned shuriken. They are found by Rin who takes them to a doctor, where they all discover each other's identities, including that the doctor is a former assistant to Burando. Anotsu then launches a surprise attack on Hanabusa's castle with the elite Ittou-ryuu accompanied by Manji. They cut a bloody path through the poorly prepared defenders, including the Captains of the Oban and Kosho squads. Anotsu's small group finally seize Hanabusa and force him to agree that swordsmanship will now be taught in the Shogunate under the direction of the Ittou-ryuu, before throwing him into the moat.
