Known for its cast of vibrant punk rock characters, Blade of the Immortal promises a future chock full of new color with this chapter. We’re introduced to bizarre, new members of the Itto-ryü and their odd hairstyles, costumes, and weapons, as players in the secret, outcast Mugai-ryü crew conspire in the background. Also, with their flight towards Edo interrupted by Anotsu’s illness, will Rin finally take this opportunity to end his life … or will she wind up defending it? Hiroaki Samura is about to turn his Samurai epic in a strange, new direction!
