Bandit Attack, Take Two

  • The attackers retreat again and Kikuchiyo takes it upon himself to steal another one of their guns.
  • He disguises himself with armor from one of the dead bandits, then sneaks into their camp and nabs the rifle, killing one of the bandits in the process.
  • He returns to the village, expecting to be praised. Instead, Kambei berates him for leaving his post without permission.
  • While he was gone, the bandits attacked and killed. Kambei sends reinforcements, and while they beat the bandits back again, Gorobei's killed in the process.
  • That night, Manzo goes looking for Shino and find her in the arms of her samurai lover.
