Samurai 7: Episode 05

And now we have samurai number six, Heihachi. Okay, technically, he is number three. Kanbei needs more convincing to include Kikuchiyo and Katsushirou and Kyuuzou is still being cool and mysterious. Either way, one more samurai to be introduced.

Heihachi,for all his wood-cutting expertise, admits to not having the experience of cutting a living flesh. However, this doesn’t mean he hasn’t gone to the battlefield. He only uses a different method to defend and attack. A very clever man, indeed. BTW, Heihachi smiles too much. It’s not normal. I think he is taking fluoxetine.

Meanwhile at the merchant’s palace, the imperial messenger has been brutally slain. Hmmm…the plot thickens.
