Ép. 15: Les expériences d'immortalité ratées de Burando et la capture de Doa et Isaku

15

Asaemon Yoshihiro Yamada is engaged to sever the limbs and organs of Manji and Dewanosuke so they can be exchanged. After eight days, it appears that Dewanosuke is acquiring some level of immortality, and Kagimura grants Burando a stay of execution. However, Kagimura demands a final test and runs his sword through Dewanosuke's heart. Dewanosuke, dies, but Kagimura insists that Burando commence the immortality experiment with another prisoner. Burando, tries again with more subjects, but he cannot repeat his success with Dewanosuke and all of his patients die. Burando becomes desolate and Kagimura gives him ten days to succeed, while Burando begins to descend into insanity. While Kagimura's men are searching for more victims for the experiment, they encounter Doa Yoshino and Isaku Yasonokami who are travelling with Rin. A fight ensues and Doa kills most of the men but reinforcements arrive. Isaku throws the two women into the river and confronts them alone, but is captured because of his Christian refusal to kill anyone. Burando recommences his experiments renewed vigour, horrifying his assistant Toraeman, so he covers the victim's heads with animal masks. By day 65, Burando has gathered more data about blood affinities and immortality. (Source: Wikipedia)
