Assassin Tateoka’s plan succeeds! He traps Freeman and Oshu’s family with poison, and only the wicked assassin/poet has the antidote. Tateoka challenges Freeman, who fights in spite of being poisoned. If Freeman loses, he dies; if he wins, he won’t get the antidote anyway. Is this the ultimate trap? 32 pages, B&W.
