Kogan announces he will unveil the secret art, Nagare Boshi, to Iraku, but only after Iraku has sparred with Gonzaemon. At this moment, Kogan returns to lucidity and realizes his future son-in-law has betrayed him.Īn initiation ceremony for the chosen successor of the Kogan-ryuu is held at Kontake temple at Mount Akiba. Iku removes her hairpin, and contemplates using it to murder Kogan. In the bedroom at the Iwamoto Kogan’s estate, Kogan fondles a naked Iku in his fugue state. Despite Fujiki’s broken fingers being near frozen, he kills the swordsman, and in doing so discovers a new technique. Later that same night, during a walk in the freezing cold, Fujiki is met by a master swordsman sent by the Funaki dojo in retaliation for the killing of the Funaki twins. Iraku anticipates this, and notes to Kogan that if Mie kills herself, the Kogan bloodline would be severed forever. Mie considers biting her tongue in the hope of killing herself. In centre of the dojo, Mie’s arms are held down and her legs spread apart by Kogan’s students, including Fujiki. Iraku deduces that Kogan has ordered Iraku and Mie to openly consummate their marriage. Upon completing the final ritual of training, Fujiki and Iraku sit before Kogan, who appears lost in a demented state. Despite Iraku’s plea of no wrongdoing, he begins an affair with Iku. Later at a local eatery in Kakegawa, Gonzaemon announces to Iraku that either he or Fujiki will be betrothed to Mie and thereby appointed as Kogan’s successor, and warns Iraku never to visit Iku again. Meanwhile, Gonzaemon watches the two outside the bathhouse. Iraku deduces that Kogan killed both her fiancés, and reassures her she is a perfectly normal woman and the curse attributed to her is a fabrication to prevent others from winning her heart. Later in her house in a backstreet, Iku explains to Iraku that two men she was engaged to in the past had died as a result of her curse. As Iku arrives at an unsegregated bathhouse, while all customers rush to the exits in the belief that Iku is cursed, Iraku remains.
Iraku takes advantage of this moment and strikes the other sibling down. Fujiki strikes the first blow with a special technique called "Nagare Boshi", a closely guarded secret technique forbidden to be practiced even in the Kogan dojo. The twins are later ambushed by Fujiki and Iraku in disguise. Cursing the absence of a son, Kogan orders his head master, Gonzaemon, to instruct Iraku and Fujiki to assassinate the twin sons of the rival Funaki dojo in order to help choose his successor. Iraku later passes an initiation ceremony and the students welcome Iraku to the school.Ī year has passed and Mie had passed the age of puberty. After breaking Fujiki’s fingers upon his first visit at the school, Iraku knew that the man who married Kogan’s daughter, Mie, would succeed Kogan as the head of the Iwamoto family inheritance. Fujiki Gennosuke, Iraku Seigen, and their Lord, Kogan Iwamoto, one of the most widely acclaimed swordsman within the realm.
Seven years previously, in 1622, three men referred to as the “tiger and two dragons” lived at the dojo of sword master Iwamoto Kogan. Iraku limps to the centre of the duelling arena with support from his female companion, Iku. Iraku has long grey hair and is crippled due to a cleft foot. Later at the tournament, Fujiki Gennosuke, a young man with an amputated left arm competes against a blind swordsman called Iraku Seigen. Tadanaga does not take heed to the warning that desecrating the garden of Sunpu Castle with blood would surely be interpreted as an expression of rebellion against the Shogunate. Years earlier, in January 1629 at Sunpu Castle, Tokugawa Tadanaga orders a tournament inside the Castle with 21 contestants armed with real swords rather than bokken ("wooden sword"). Tokugawa Tadanaga, the Lord of Sunpu Castle and the younger brother of Shogun, Tokugawa Iemitsu, has been sentenced to commit seppuku for atrocities and immoral conduct.
