Manji's secret got around.
Magatsu: "Damn... I guess it's for real, but it sounds like a fairy tale."
Hairy Dude: "I can't believe this... That this kind of monster was once part of Itto-ryu..."

"Don't think bad of me... But a guy who gets cut but never dies is just too weird."

The three of them get ready, as Manji approaches the appointed location.

"It's time. Why don't the three of you come after me at once. That ought to save us all some time."

 

Giichi seems to have tagged along as well. The other two recognize him as Kagimura's servant.

"...You!"

Whilst back in the shack, Rin realizes that she has to do something, anything to help Manji- He's in REAL trouble this time, and he doesn't even realize it yet!
