With Han dead, many Asuras want to become the new third supreme leader, and one man, Gamon, hatches a plan. He and his men attack a village, capturing the villagers, and then lure out Rock and his men. Gamon tells Rock that if he wants to save the villagers, he must kill Kenshiro. Rock says he doesn't have a problem doing that as that man killed Raoh, and soon his group find Kenshiro. They attack him with a variety of weapons...

...before seemingly crushing him with a large rock fall. Gamon sees this and tells Rock's group to follow him, as he will take them back to where the villagers are. However, Johann overhears two Asuras talking about the fact that Gamon intends to kill Rock and all the villagers anyway. He tries to warn Rock but is spotted, but Kenshiro appears and kills the Asuras attacking him. Johann explains to Kenshiro about Rock's past, and how his mother was killed by an Asura right in front of his eyes. Meanwhile, Rock finds out that Gamon has lied to him, but his team can't match up to the power of Gamon's men, who can become centipede-like warriors by sitting on top of one another.

Kenshiro then appears and takes out the centipedes, before having a brief fight with Gamon. Gamon tries his kouga tetsujou shi (armor fang piercing line thorn), a technique where he fires many poison needles at his opponent, only for his attack to get blown back into him. He is quickly killed, as Rock and the other villagers are freed. Rock realizes that Kenshiro may not be so bad after all, and as he and his men leave, he tells Johann that Raoh is not their savior -Kenshiro is.

Manga Differences

-This episode is filler, and does not happen in the manga. However, the centipede guys do appear later on in the manga, but they serve Kaioh, not Gamon (Gamon never appeared in the manga).
