Synopsis
As Raoh and his army head back as fast as they can, Yuda's forces begin their attack. Reina leads her troops, and has Gihan sent to Cassandra to give a message to Uighur. Uighur has Sakuya released and she quickly returns to the castle, and enters it. She talks to Reina and says she believes her words: that she loves the same man as herself, Raoh. Sakuya says that if she was in her position she wouldn't trust her, or let her out of the prison. But since she has done both of those, she'll help her defend this castle as best as she can. She hopes that Soga has read her message, as if he has, Raoh will be on the way back here. Reina tells her troops they must hold out until Raoh returns, as she and Sakuya lead the counter-assault.
Raoh eventually arrives, and confronts Yuda. Raoh insults Yuda, making the South Star crimson crane fist master angry enough to attack him. Yuda tries a secret technique of his style -kessho shi (blood-adorned beak), but Raoh compares it to birds chirping and punches him. After getting up, Yuda reveals he has a Howitzer cannon. He fires a shell at Raoh, but Raoh even manages to survive this by punching it.
Raoh thanks Reina for protecting his castle, but Yuda calls out to them and then steps out of the way, revealing that Souther has arrived. Souther stops just before Raoh. As Ryuga and Soga continue back as fast as they can, Raoh and Souther stare at each other.
-When this episode was released on DVD, there were several changes made to it -click here for details.
-One of Yuda's troops is totally Guile from Street Fighter II. Just with a pony tail.
-Apparently Reina has developed psychic powers -she manages to throw the sword into the ground and time it exactly right to the second for showing when Raoh will return.
-Raoh quite clearly punches Yuda really hard, yet Yuda is up and about within seconds. This seems very unrealistic, as when previous versions of Raoh hit weak people, they don't get back up.
-When this episode aired on TV, when Raoh punches Yuda, Yuda's cape gets torn up, but then looks fine later on. The DVD version fixed this by not having Yuda's cape tear when Raoh hits him.
-Yuda really could have done with using that cannon to blow the door down to Raoh's castle, it would have saved him a lot of time. (Maybe he had only one shell and wanted to save it, but still...)
