Giichi and the other guy scuttle for a bit, missing each other, until Giichi does a back handspring and launches himself forward again...

...burying his sickle blade into the Itto-ryu's sword arm.

Giichi tells him that the fight's over: "The tendons in your sword-arm are cut. You can't fight anymore."

The Itto-ryu warrior grabs Giichi's arm and pulls him forward-

"Remember 'Fujiaki Kasori'"...

..."It's the name of the last Itto-ryu member that you'll ever fight!!"

oooh! dramatic!

thus one month of MnJ ends and another begins:

Now that's just not very pretty now, is it?

The blades dig deeper.

Oh yeah, Giichi still has that chain, doesn't he?

...the perfect weapon to strangle a wounded enemy. How he can hold it tight with a huge bloody wound in his arm... well, Giichi's just that cool, I guess.

But Kasori still has a lot of fight in him- He ends up kicking Giichi and wrestling a little control back...

"I'M NOT GOING TO DIE!
I am NOT going to DIE!
You hear me? I'M NOT GOING TO DIE!!!!!!"
