The episode "Hit!" begins with the remaining samurais, Kambei, Katsushiro, Gorobei, Shichiroji, and Kyuzo, still reeling from Kikuchiyo's sacrifice in the previous episode. Kikuchiyo's death has galvanized the group, and they have become more determined than ever to defeat the Nobuseri and save Kanna village.
Meanwhile, the Nobuseri are growing increasingly frustrated with the samurais' resistance. Ukyo, the leader of the bandits, is particularly angry and orders his men to find and kill the samurais at any cost.
As the samurais prepare for their next battle, they are approached by a strange man named Kanbei. Kanbei claims to be a samurai, but Kambei is suspicious of him and refuses to let him join their group. Despite Kambei's misgivings, the other samurais allow Kanbei to help them fight.
The samurais set out to attack the Nobuseri base, but before they can reach their target, they are ambushed by a group of bandits. In the ensuing battle, one of the samurais is hit by an arrow and falls to the ground. The rest of the group is forced to flee, leaving their fallen comrade behind.
Kambei is devastated by the loss and begins to doubt his own ability to lead the group. Despite his doubts, he decides to continue the fight against the Nobuseri. With the help of Kanbei, the samurais come up with a plan to sneak into the Nobuseri's base and take them by surprise.
When they arrive at the base, they discover that Ukyo has been waiting for them. He orders his men to attack, and the samurais find themselves outnumbered and outgunned. In the chaos that follows, several members of the group are injured, and Kambei is forced to make a difficult decision in order to protect his comrades.
As the episode comes to a close, the samurais regroup and reflect on the losses they have suffered. They are determined to continue the fight, even if it means risking their lives. The battle for Kanna village is far from over, but the samurais know that they must remain strong and united if they hope to emerge victorious.
Overall, "Hit!" is a thrilling and emotional episode that showcases the samurais' bravery and determination in the face of overwhelming odds. The stakes are higher than ever, and every action has consequences that could change the course of the war. Fans of the series will not want to miss this exciting installment.
