Appearing in a tournament which contraventioned all of the existing dueling laws to allow the use of real swords, the one-armed samurai starts a battle with a blind lame swordsman which brings together for the last time two mighty swordsmen whose bloody intertwined past is as beautiful and as gruesome as the scarred wounds that adorn their bodies and souls. **info:** source: blu-ray resolution: 1904x1072 (anamorphic 1908x1072) video codec: h264 audio codec: 2.0 ac3, 5.1 flac audio languages: japanese, english subtitles: english (ass, srt) **comment:** while the blu-ray source by funimation doesn't warrant 1080p, it does help a lot to avoid a lot of artifacts that'd appear in 720p due to the heavy grain nature, this series has. the reason itself is rather weak, and in addition, those encodes are a little overcompressed, but they should do a lot better than the rips present so far, as those were just overfiltered.
