There's a cool little side story where the daughter of the Yagi's (where

pretty puny to wield a sword. They mention the Tennen Rishin style and
I'm guessing they said "We'll teach it to you and make a man out of

away. It was hilarious to see the girl's look of terror as they're
lifting her arms,squeezing her muscles, adjusting the sword she's
carrying in her belt.
