Synopsis

Ushimata and Fujiki realize that Irako is using Kengyou to destroy the Kogan dojo and that the swordplay demonstration was intended to kill Fujiki. On their return to the dojo, Kogan explodes in a violent rage before collapsing as three Kogan style swordsmen arrive from Noubi dojo; Ibuki Hanshinken, Neoya Rokurobee and Kanayoka Unryusai. They explain that Ushimata asked them to protect the Sensei, but Fujiki first challenges them to a test to evaluate their skills. Fujiki receives a challenge from Irako and he goes to meet Irako at the Shrine on Akiba Mountain leaving Kogan in the care of the three swordsmen from Noubi dojo. Meanwhile Ushimata is ambushed in the forest by Kengyou swordsmen. Ushimata manages to kill them, but is cut by a poisoned metal claw. In a flashback, Irako is shown discovering his blind sword technique after he and Iku were attacked by three bandits. Meanwhile instead of meeting Irako, Fujiki encounters a Kengyou man with a gun. He fires at Fujiki, but Fujiki blocks the bullet using the base of his sword and kills him. While the two strongest Kogan swordsmen are away, Irako and Iku appear at the Kogan dojo.
