		However, Ogami Itto was saved (and rewarded) for his knowledge of Bushido, for he quickly positioned himself, unarmed, between Gumbei's naked blade and the Shogun, as if to act as he were protecting the Shogun with his life.
		Ogami Itto's nemesis is a much younger Retsudo Yagyu than we've seen before—with no beard he appears to be more of a brother to Gumbei, Kurando, and Bizen than a wizened patriarch.
		Ogami Itto's struggle is shown to be infinitesimal, like a grain on sand upon the beach where he stands instead acting as one of nature's elements — like blazing Fire surrounded by Air, Water, and Earth.

		As Ogami and Daigoro travel towards their next meeting with fate, they are hounded and attacked by Sayaka’s ninja but prove up to the challenge, with Daigoro taking a hand in the despatching of the female warriors.
		His concern for Daigoro all-encompassing, Ogami makes no move against Sayaka — who could not suppress a cry of horror and protest as the child plunged to his seeming death — and in turn, though Ogami is for a moment completely vulnerable, she does not raise a hand against him.

		Well except for a couple "cutesy" moments involving the son of Itto Ogami, but those were more of a smiling matter then humorously funny.
		This is mainly due to the fact that Itto Ogami is such a "bad ass", he waste no time in killing his opponents.

		There are "arc" stories, which are directly relevant to Ogami Itto's quest for revenge against the Yagyu clan, and "non-arc" stories, in which Itto and Daigoro serve mainly to provide a framework for other people's stories.
		It continues with the adventures of Itto and Daigoro after they were separated in Volume 10, their reunion, and how Itto uncovers another clue to the secret of the "Yagyu letters."
		All of these people hire Ogami Itto to assist them, but, interestingly, not to actually kill their antagonists.
