3

Rin encounters Sabato Kuroi at a riverbank, who declares his love for her and voices that love is eternal through death in the same way that he killed her mother. However, Manji arrives and cooperate with Rin to overpower Kuroi. When Kuroi's face is exposed, the heads of both his former wife and Rin's mother are shown attached to each of his shoulders. Kuroi delivers a fatal blow to Manji's chest and he collapses. Sabato offers his life in exchange for Rin's as proof of his love for her. However, Manji revives and stabs Kuroi's back just as Rin is about to commit suicide. Kuroi attacks Manji, frustrated by his immorality and Kuroi suddenly decides to kill Rin, but is killed by Manji. Later, Manji reminds Rin of her main objective, which is to prevent Anotsu from taking over the dojo. Meanwhile, as Anotsu is conversing with Kagimura Habaki, he accepts the wager proposed to unite people from different fighting styles into one unique group. (Source: Wikipedia)
