14

Habaki assigns the surgeon Ayame Burando to examine and test Manji's immortal qualities within 8 days. He plans to use Manji's organs and bones to create another immortal the prisoner Dewanosuke. Meanwhile, Rin agrees to let the Ittou-ryuu fighters Doa Yoshino and Isaku Yasonokami stay with her in the hut, although tensions are high. She then goes in search of Manji and finds Hyakurin who tells her that Habaki has disbanded the Mugai-ryuu. Back at the prison, Burando attempts a live dissection of Manji but his hand is almost caught inside Manji's body as it heals itself, which gives him an idea. Manji and Dewanosuke plan an escape, but Habaki appears and severs the right hands of both prisoners. He then has Burando stitch Manji's hand onto Dewanosuke which heals quickly indicating some of Manji's immortal powers have been transferred to Dewanosuke. Habaki then plans an even more daring experiment by switching a larger part of their bodies and calls for Yamada Asaemon, the beheader. (Source: Wikipedia)
