In Blade of the Immortal season 1 episode 2, titled "Conquest," we continue to follow the story of Manji, a samurai cursed with immortality, as he sets out on a mission of vengeance against the corrupt officials who have wronged him. After a brief recap of the events of the first episode, in which Manji met a young girl named Rin Asano who seeks his help in avenging her parents' deaths, we find our hero on the road to the estate of Sabato Kuroi, one of the men responsible for Rin's family's murder.
On the way to the estate, Manji and Rin encounter a group of bounty hunters who have been hired by Kuroi to take out anyone seeking revenge against him. The ensuing battle is a brutal and bloody affair, with Manji using his skills as an immortal swordsman to dispatch the attackers one by one.

Arriving at Kuroi's estate, Manji and Rin find themselves facing off against a group of highly skilled samurai who have been trained by Kuroi himself.

Despite the bloodshed they have witnessed, Rin is determined to see their mission through to the end and bring her family's killers to justice. Manji, meanwhile, continues to grapple with the weight of his immortality, wondering if the endless cycle of violence he has been dragged into will ever come to an end.
