3

Makie approaches Manji in an alleyway and tries to seduce him, but he realizes it is a trap and they fight. She reveals that she is from Ittou-ryuu, but Manji easily defeats her. Later, In a quiet moment on a bridge, Makie meets Anotsu and asserts that he only interested in her fighting ability, but Anotsu says he also desires her as a woman and kisses her. After Anotsu leaves, three swordsmen who have been sent by her former employer attempt to take Makie back by force, but she cuts her hair short then easily cuts them to pieces. Makie then seeks out Manji again, and this time she does not hold back and they fight viciously in the narrow laneways. Manji tries to ambush Makie, but she dodges him, slashing off an arm and leg, then impaling him with his own sword. Makie hesitates, shocked by her own brutality, but Manji convinces her to keep fighting and she defeats him. Rin arrives to defend Manji and Makie questions her about how much blood will be shed to satisfy her revenge. Rin responds by saying that shedding blood for her family is better shedding blood to justify oneself. Makie departs and encounters her "sister" O-Hatsu who is returning to the red light district, but Mackie declines to join her. Makie departs the Ittou-ryuu, only leaving a note for Anotsu saying that she has gone. (Source: Wikipedia)
