At the beginning of the Edo Era, when people enjoyed a time of peace, Lord Tokugawa Tadanaga holds a fighting tournament. In the past, matches were fought with wooden swords.

3. Kamaitachi2007-08-0223m9.0Once a year, Kogan awakes from his death-like slumber to oversee his dojo. Locked in a decaying state, the master demands to know which of his samurai is worthy of the Kogan legacy. Seigen and Gennosuke are the most likely candidates, but no one is sure which swordsman is best suited to give their demented leader what he desires. In the end, Kogan himself devises a devious challenge to clarify the situation.
4. A Children's Song2007-08-0923m8.0For years, the tormented Lady Iku believed her body was cursed. Children mocked her and the masses fled at her approach.

Master Kogan becomes suspicious of his wife's conduct during his comatose hibernation and, with revenge on his mind, issues some very grave orders to his most trusted men. Summoned by the sensei, Seigen is transfixed by the promise of instruction in the Shooting Star Technique.
6. Birth Cry2007-08-3023m8.0Betrayed and seething with anger, Kogan begins the systematic destruction of his former heir.

8. Chorus of Cicadas2007-09-1323m8.0Shortly after his battle with the ronin, Gennosuke finds the mangled head of a comrade – a disturbing warning that could bring the dojo shame. Panicked whispering suggests something haunts the footsteps of the samurai, and when a Kogan mercenary crosses paths with a mysterious shadow of a man, the death toll mounts. The only thing certain is that the mysterious killer is a finely trained hunter with a taste for Kogan blood.
9. Tiger Cubs2007-09-2023m8.0Mie’s despair over her cruel treatment eats away at her mind.

10. Kengyou’s House of Punishment2007-09-2723m8.0A letter arrives summoning the Kogan clan to the palace of Kengyou Shizuhata.

11. Moonlight2007-10-0423m9.0Seigen has returned, and he is out for blood. Although blinded during his brutal punishment, he appears to have regained his former prowess.
