Volume 25:
Perhaps in Death
Retsudo Yagyu, mortal enemy of Itto Ogami, has been imprisoned in Edo Castle, and his jailer is none other than the conniving poisoner Abeno Kaii, determined to feed Retsudo the final dose. But Yagyu has allies even in Edo Castle, and a message is sent to his "grass," ninja living as normal townspeople throughout Japan, whose time has come to give their lives to save Yagyu's. Meanwhile, Itto Ogami is living in a shack and training his little son for the day when he must take up the sword. And two swords remain yet unclaimed on the battlefield, awaiting Yagyu and Ogami to draw them from the ground and finish their final battle!
