That evening, Machi dreams of the time Manji was forced to kill her husband, a police officer who was pursuing him. She wanders off into the night and is captured by a group of ronin led by the Hishiyasu Shido brother of Johnny. As Machi is released, Hishiyasu kills her and in response, Manji kills every member of the ronin group. Upon returning to Yaobikuni, declares that he will seek redemption for the hundred men he killed by killing one thousand evil men.
