Episode 6 Story

“Sudden Batguy”
With Namako-Otoko joining their group, Yaiba Kurogane and his companions continue their journey toward Ganryujima. Along the way, they stop in Nagoya and leisurely enjoy some miso kushi-katsu. Suddenly, a mysterious voice is heard—and Sayaka Mine’s skewer goes missing. The culprit is a man who suddenly appears and introduces himself as Batguy. He targets Yaiba, aiming to take the Raijin Sword. Yaiba struggles to keep up against Batguy’s overwhelming strength. Just as the battle turns grim, Musashi Miyamoto jumps in to help—but Batguy bites him on the neck. That’s when Musashi’s body begins to undergo a mysterious transformation.
