We finally get to the meat of the story, the reason of the first half of this anime, why we even go through the problem of searching for samurai. It's really fun and tense at the same time, seeing the dread from the villager but also how they keep hope and fighting spirit. But that plot twist at the end made me gasped, because WHAT HAPPENED? I mean, I have some theory, but that was a brilliantly pulled curve ball, I did not see this one coming. I just hope that it is what I think it is.
