Ép. 7: Magatsu survit à l'embuscade et quitte l'Ittou-ryuu tandis que Shira attaque Rin et Manji

While being carried in a Kago, Magatsu is ambushed, but he kills his two attackers, although not before one reveals his employer was Akagi. Magatsu arrives at the Ittou-ryuu dojo by foot just as Kagimura Habaki, a member of Daimyo's guard, is leaving. Anotsu reveals that soon the Ittou-ryuu will be retained by the Shogunate, so Magatsu decides to leave Ittou-ryuu because of his hatred of the samurai. Meanwhile, Chogo Morozumi of the Ittou-ryuu is attacked by Giichi who extracts from him number of masters within the dojo before killing Morozumi with his chained double blade. Elsewhere, the Ittou-ryuu vice-captain, Ken'ei Fusano is poisoned by Hyakurin posing as a geisha. Magatsu returns to O-Ren who entreats him to stay with her, but he decides to leave. Shira arrives later looking for Magatsu on Hyakurin's orders, and in frustration, cruelly kills O-Ren. Later, Shira arrives at Rin and Manji's hut, looking for Manji. He rudely assaults Rin, and later explains that he is from Mugai-ryuu which is trying to annihilate the Ittou-ryuu. When Manji leaves to pick up his sword from sharpening, Shira offers Rin some meat telling her it is wild boar. While eating, he reveals that he killed and cooked her dog, leaving her sickened by his methods. (Source: Wikipedia)
