A brief recap of Yaiba episode 3
Yaiba episode 3 picked up from the ending of episode 2 and depicted the extent of Onimaru's transformation into an Oni. Apparently, his demeanor and overall appearance had been altered to signify his demonic transformation, alongside his new demonic horns.
The episode then cut to the next day with Yaiba feeling confident following his win against Onimaru. Eventually, Onimaru reaches the school and confronts Yaiba, who readily engages in another fight. Although Yaiba was rather confident in his skills with the sword, he lost his composed self when facing Onimaru, who now wielded an actually lethal blade.
Eventually, Onimaru was able to beat Yaiba using the wind-controlling powers of the Fujinken. Sometime later, Yaiba learns of the Raijinken, which is the only sword capable of rivaling Onimaru's newfound abilities. Both Yaiba and Sayaka seek out Miyamoto Musashi, who has been guarding the Raijinken for generations.
Later, Yaiba is able to pull out the Raijinken from its pedestal, becoming its rightful wielder despite his own lack of conviction and strength. The blade's spirit then goes on a rampage, borrowing Yaiba's body, who is eventually brought back into control by Miyamoto.
Although Yaiba lacked the skills necessary to properly wield the Raijinken, Miyamoto accepts him under his wing. He vows to forge him into a swordsman capable of using the Raijinken. The episode ends with Onimaru becoming aware of the Raijinken's awakening and planning to acquire the second demonic sword as well
