Ep. 5: Yoroi, the Rebel Sword

5

In their fifth month, the duo encounter the pirate Azekura Kanara who rules the small port of Satsuma and possesses one of the 12 swords (Zokutou Yoroi). Finding Togame resembles his deceased younger sister, he strikes a deal that if he wins a battle, he takes Togame as his woman. During the ensuing fight, Kanara proclaims his love for Togame and the fight then becomes more than just a fight for the swords. After finding the weak spot of Zokutou Yoroi, Shichika slams Kanara into the ground, forcing Kanara to admit defeat. Despite being one of the only survivors of Shichika’s battles, Kanara spitefully changes the course of the ship Togame and Shichika take to get to their next destination. (Source: Wikipedia)
