13화: 무가이류 연회 학살과 하바키에 의한 만지 체포

13

At the Mugai-ryuu banquet held for ten dojo leaders of the Ittou-ryuu by Kagimura Habaki, nine of them are slaughtered and only Sosuke Abayama survives because he was outside relieving himself. Later, Giichi accepts payment from Habaki for the killings at the banquet, and asks that Hyakurin be extracted from the Mugai-ryuu, but Habaki refuses. After hearing about the massacre, Anotsu plans his revenge on Habaki, but he blames himself for becoming complacent. The remaining Ittou-ryuu leaders still support him so he decides they should separate and go into hiding, to re-emerge in winter and continue their campaign. Elsewhere, Abayama finds and kills Makoto for leaking information to the Mugai-ryuu. Meanwhile, Giichi finds Rin and Manji, and brings an offer from Habaki to join the Mugai-ryuu. Manji refuses so they prepare to fight to the death. Both are fast, strong and cunning, but Manji emerges as the victor and surprisingly agrees to meet Habaki. During the meeting, Hyakurin finds Rin waiting outside and takes her away for some food. Habaki painfully tests Manji's immortality by stabbing him in the chest. After confirming Manji's immortality, Habaki has him captured and Manji awakes later to find himself chained in a dungeon before a bloodstained stone table. Back at their hut, Rin is awakened by the arrival of the Ittou-ryuu fighters Doa Yoshino and Isaku Yasonokami who are seeking shelter. (Source: Wikipedia)
