Jagi and a few punks are out being horrible in a village. Jagi is killing anyone who he considers to look like Kenshiro, even if it is just a tiny resemblance. His group are moving on when one of the punks starts to whine: some kid called Mako just bumped into him! The price for that is death, in his view, but Mako has a younger brother called Aki who says that he is sorry for what his brother did, but he is sick.



Aki says that he has to look after his brother, but the punk doesn't care and says that he'll just have to cut off one of his legs to make up for it, although he does praise his courage for trying to protect his brother. The boy's Grandpa approaches and tries to get the punk to stop, but he refuses. However, Jagi has been listening to the entire conversation and is getting more and more worked up. He looks at Aki and sees Kenshiro in his eyes.



Jagi tells Aki that a younger brother is never better than an older one and grabs him by his hair. Mako begs Jagi to stop and he does, because he has an "excellent idea" which involves him hitting a pressure point on his head.



Meanwhile, Kenshiro is searching for Jagi when he sees a small speck in the distance moving his way. The speck is Aki, who has a large concrete block chained to his ankle and he is slowly making his way forward with this burden. He collapses just as Ken arrives, who breaks off the chain and when he asks the child who did this to him, his response is "Kenshiro!". Ken says that Hell is now far too lenient for him to send Jagi to!



Ken takes Aki back to his village, but finds the place deserted. Ken walks on and senses the presence of someone behind a wall, but they do not come out. So he destroys the wall to reveal Mako, who is aiming a crossbow at him! Ken puts Aki down and can tell that the boy must be under the control of Jagi, so he tells him to go ahead and shoot.



Mako fires the arrow and it hits Ken in his chest. It doesn't kill him or anything, but it does make him remember. This is exactly what Ryuken told him would happen.



Remember when Ryuken told Kenshiro that if he is too lenient with his opponents they will come back and make people suffer? Yes. I hope you do, given that it happened just one episode a go.



Ken presses another of Mako's pressure points, which frees him from Jagi's influence and returns him back to normal. He apologises for what he has done, but Ken tells him that if he didn't shoot that arrow, his head would have exploded. Ken removes the arrow from his chest and breaks it.



The boy's grandfather then appears and they are happy to see him. However, some punks have also seen that Jagi's plan has failed, so they shoot off a flare to get the rest of the gang together. As Ken walks on alone, he sees people moving around nearby, but he pretends he didn't see anything and keeps going.



One punk fires off an arrow, but gets it right back at him. The rest of the punks then appear, but before they can even make a move Ken warns them that if they try this he will kill them all. Not listening to his words, the punks all attack, but are defeated by one of Ken's moves.


HOKUTO KYOSATU SHITOTSU KEN

(North Star Chest Killing Splinter Stabbing Fist)



This attack causes each of the punk's chest to explode. Kenshiro did this attack to them as he wanted them to feel the pain he had in his chest when Mako shot him with that arrow earlier. He lets one punk live a few seconds longer than the others just so he can get the location of Jagi out of him, and he is pointed in the direction of the tallest building in the city.



Inside the building, Jagi is taking a nap without his helmet on. One of his men enters his room to tell him that the food is ready, but when he sees his master is sleeping he goes up to him and removes the blanket over his face. When he sees Jagi's face, he starts to scream! This wakes Jagi up and he tells the man that anyone who sees his face must die, but before he kills him he says that his face is full of hatred for Kenshiro. He proceeds to do something terrible to the punk.



Outside the entrance to the building, Kenshiro easily takes out the guards there with more chest exploding action going on. He then heads inside. He doesn't get to take many steps in however as that chubby punk from earlier staggers in begging for help, before he dies horribly.



On a level above Kenshiro, Jagi has appeared and begins to laugh manically as Kenshiro tells him to name a place where he wants to die!
