Blade of the Immortal Page #2

to be your daughter?

SABATO:
Keep out of it.

This is our magic moment.

Don't you walk away from me!

Where is Anotsu Kagehisa?

Tell me or you die.

RIN:
Manji!

SABATO:
You were careless.

I've trained myself

to twist my shoulders

all the way around.

So let's have

no more foolishness.

Get your dirty hands off her!

What are you?

A monster?

You're lucky. You can die.

Manji! You healed up!

MANJI:
Bloodworms.

That old cow put them in me.

They keep me alive.

I find it

pretty disgusting myself.

MANJI:

This isn't the time to cry.

If you want revenge...

You need to beat these.

Tomorrow you start training.

All right?

Yes.

But if you want a shoulder

to cry on,

borrow mine for a bit.

Why is the man who leads

the Itto-Ryu...

Hiding out away from town

like this?

I went to

great pains to find you.

I'm told many men seek my head.

Master Anotsu...

Why have you brought

the Itto-Ryu to this?

In a time of peace,

fencing schools are only a way

of making a living.

I believe that

only those dedicated

to making themselves powerful...

Deserve the name "swordsman".

I wish to break down...

The barriers between schools.

I see.

My judgment seems

to have been correct.

As it happens, Master Anotsu...

We wish to start

a fencing school

for officials of the shogunate.

We would very much like you and

the Swordsmen of the Itto-Ryu...

To serve as instructors

in this academy.

On certain conditions.

"Conditions?"

That the academy

will be named "Itto-Ryu"...

And that I am appointed head

of the academy.

If I were not sure

of my abilities...

I would not ask this.

I will ask

the council of elders...

For their opinion.

I ask for time to do this.

Is Master Anotsu here?

Yes.

MAGATSU:
Sabato's dead.

Anotsu:
Who killed him?

MAGATSU:

He was around asano's a lot.

Surely not asano's daughter?

He was one of our ten best men.

That girl could never take him.

Anotsu:
This is

an important time for us.

Tell everyone

to keep their wits about them.

RIN:
These, please.

BLADESMITH:

Very interesting!

In 50 years

of sharpening swords,

I've never had any that smelled

of innards like these do.

Most samurai don't use

their swords that much.

Anyway, it'll cost two ryo.

- I'll need three days.

- Thank you.

BLADESMITH:
You know swords?

That one's famous.

MAGATSU:

Grinder! Is it ready yet?

BLADESMITH:

I'll be right with you.

MAGATSU:
You did quite a job

getting it this sharp.

BLADESMITH:
Thank you.

Come back anytime.

What's all the rush?

I found a man

with my father's sword!

Where is he?

Near Sensoji Temple.

You stay here.

MAGATSU:
Are you the one

who killed sabato?

MANJI:
What if I am?
