So the swordmaster is Chihiro’s uncle. Though looking at comments, it appears that he isn’t Kunishige’s brother. Still, it is interesting how the ideals of Kunishige & the Sword Master differ. Chihiro mostly followed what his father aimed to do when he sealed the enchanted blades. Of course the Sword Master is not just insane. He has clear ideals of using the enchanted blade’s power to protect the country. Rather, one could say that his ideals could be insane. But it is clear he isn’t consumed by power.
Yura agrees with those ideals, and originally the plan was to kill the Swormaster. Though this conversation gives him the idea of them working together. That is a scary thought, to say the least.
Which leads to Azuma still being around, which isn’t a surprise. Meanwhile, what is Shiba doing now? Is he waiting for Chihiro & Samura to jump into action?
