Brave 10

Saizou encounters a shrine priestess who is being pursued and finds himself pulled into an unpleasant situation.

Isanami and Saizo continue their journey while the threat of assassins hangs over their heads. Saizo runs into Ana, a childhood friend, while she’s bathing, and they all go to the festival where Isanami has been invited to dance as the shrine maiden.

Saizou was able to prevent Ieyasu from taking Isanami, and Yukimura assigns Isanami and Saizo another team member on their trip to investigate Izumo.

Isanami and company arrive back at Izumo. They investigate the ruins, and despite Isanami’s best efforts to stay strong, she cracks and Saizou has to comfort her in his own gruff way. They discover a hidden passageway in the shrine, where Hanzo and Snake Lady ambush them.

Saizou struggles to come to terms with the fact that he was not strong enough to protect Isanami, and Kakei reports back to Yukimura on Isanami's abduction by Masamune Date. Sasuke and Ana are sent to bring her back.

Yukimura invites all of his braves to the hot spring. When there Saizo, Sasuke, and Kamanosuke get in a fight with a monk named Seikai.
