A brief recap of Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 15

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 15 picked up from the ending of episode 14, with Sugino, a samurai, and his wife celebrating his recent promotion. Sugino’s lord, Yasuhide, had been pleased with his work and gave him the funds to buy a new sword.

The episode then shifted to Naotsugu and Jinya as they visited Ofuu’s soba restaurant to talk about their current troubles. Naotsugu explained that Sugino now possessed a so-called demon sword forged in Kadono. Even though there hadn’t been any major issues with demon swords lately, the two decided to investigate the sword because of its strange origins.

When Naotsugu and Jinya arrived at Yasuhide’s estate, they discovered that Sugino had murdered his wife and was now on the run. The two tried to catch Sugino at a nearby restaurant, but only learned that important movement leaders visited there. Eventually, Jinya defeated Sugino as he attempted to assassinate a loyalist leader. The episode ended with Naotsugu getting inspired by Jinya's conviction. He decided to live life with a more proper direction.


Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 16: What to expect?

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 16 might focus on more demon swords, especially since four of them were mentioned in the previous episodes. Since Suzune must also have knowledge of these swords, it is possible that both Jinya and Suzune end up facing each other very soon.
