Hackitty Hack! At the end of the last episode we see Anotsu and Iriya hack into each other at the same time.

You'll have to forgive me for this month's episode- I just moved into a pretty nice apartment with devils for landlords, so in between arguing with them and unpacking my stuff I've misplaced the original episode from which these originated.  So I'm going to have to go with what I remember... 

Translation:
Anotsu: Ugh!
Iriya: Uhhhuhh!

Iriya falls over, quite dead.  Makie rushes to Anotsu and pulls the sword out of his shoulder (and most likely a lung).

Right at that time Magatsu's opponent, the nice Frankenstein-looking guy, comes up over the hill.
"Oh.. we lost... I can't..." and falls over dead.  Sucks that he died, since he was really a nice guy.  Oh well, if there's one thing we learned from this series, it's that no one is safe from dying in this series.

To Makie: "Man, you really gave them Hell, eh sister?"
Magatsu returns.  Wounded pretty heavily, at that.  Again, these disciples of Ibane were basically Anotsu's dream students, every one of them trained in all sorts of weapons and terrains, perhaps even more rigidly than his own Itto-ryu men.  Magatsu was lucky to get out alive.  Then again, it's all up to Samura, right?

Rin tells Manji to let Anotsu go.  He asks if it's ok. But Rin responds, saying to Anotsu that he'll have to think long and hard about all the trouble and suffering that he's caused, and to decide what to do from there.

"And that's when I'll be coming to kill you."

"Never forget that!"

Rin's tired, so Manji piggy-backs her.  Not because he wants to, of course, but "Because I'm hungry and at your pace we'd never get to an inn in time" (or something like that, I can't find this issue yet.  Nope, not under that box... Nope, not with the other scans... Hmmm...)
