anime episode summaries

Mugen has a hard time fighting his opponent (the brother with the chain/scythe weapon) but manages to kill him. The other brother (the one on the wheelchair) shoots Mugen and tries to blow the entire place up with bombs.

Jin loses in his fight with Kariya (?) and falls in the water.

Fuu finally meets her father but finds him weak and dying. Kariya appears and kills Fuu’s dad. Apparently, Kariya was ordered to kill the entire family. As he was about to kill Fuu, Jin shows up. Kariya and Jin fight again and this time, Jin lets himself get stabbed so that he can stab the opponent, too. Kariya dies.

Mugen and Jin both survive. They try to fight each other but are too weak to do so.

After the two recovers, the three part ways. The end.

Fuu, Mugen, and Jin finally reach Nagasaki. Fuu heads off to Ikitsuki Island alone because she doesn’t feel like saying goodbye to Mugen and Jin. Several assassins are on our trio’s trail though.

Jin, Mugen, and Fuu play baseball against the Americans who were threatening the town they were on. When the Americans start cheating, Mugen takes them all down with his killer (literally!) pitch.

This one’s a pretty weird episode. The trio are forced to work their butts off by a treasure hunter who turns out to be a zombie. If you don’t get it, don’t worry; I didn’t get it either.

Our trio meets a blind woman who performs with the shamisen and lets her join them in their journey. It turns out that she’s an assassin sent to kill them. Jin and Mugen each loses to her. Mugen fights her again and wins using Jin’s advice which the latter in turn got from an old man who saved him.

Our trio gets involved with some fanatical, underground Christian group. They meet a woman who tells them that Seizou-san, the samurai who smells of sunflowers, may be in Ikitsuki Island. Fuu reveals that the samurai she is looking for is her father.

Mugen learns to read. Jin and Fuu meet sibling graffiti artists who vandalize the town.
