Ep. 9: Shichika berlatih kendo sementara Togame merancang strategi untuk membantunya mengalahkan Zanki dalam pertandingan ulang.
Togame and Shichika now meet Kiguchi Zanki, owner of a dojo and the ninth sword (Outou Nokogiri). She and Shichika duel for Nokogiri but Shichika loses and Zanki decides to teach him the art of kendo. He proves to be very unskilled since his family's inheritance simply prevents him from wielding swords at all. This causes him to be clumsy and cause many accidents during their training to land them in positions that could be perceived as sexual without context to which Togame is victim to, making her immensely jealous. Meanwhile, Princess Hitei’s servant Souda Emonzaemon is commanded to assassinate the Maniwa Ninja Corps, killing off one of their remaining members, Maniwa Umigame. Finally, Shichika and Zanki duel again even though Shichika is still horrible with a sword. Togame’s newest scheme wins them the battle by distracting Zanki with shogi moves during the match, helping Shichika to win them the match. (Source: Wikipedia)
