Sasaki is a cheating bitch using his subordinates to interfere with the fight, so much for honor after his whining about Denjiro (who should have killed him rather than chaining him up anyway).
Hope it isn't Hiyori (or Toki), doesn't look like it from the lips, but the hair does look like her and don't see who else it could be.
If it is Hiyori, Orochi confirmed for not dead after all I suppose.
