Synopsis
Wanting to fix his past mistakes, Jukei sets off to confront Hyoh, and tells Leia and Tao to go back. He soon finds his former student, who is glad to see that he is still alive. However, Jukei reveals that he is here to kill Hyoh. Elsewhere, Lin and Shachi come across a destroyed village.
But they then come across something much worse: Kaioh. Kaioh seems to know who Shachi is, but as he takes Lin, he tells him that he should come to his castle later. As a reward for bringing Lin to him, he may have anything he likes. Kaioh then leaves on his horse, and returns to his castle. As Lin wakes up, Kaioh has surrounded himself with his demonic aura, and tells her that he intends to destroy the North Star divine fist, and create a world to his liking. Meanwhile, Jukei is dominating the fight against Hyoh, using some kind of technique which Hyoh can't escape from.
Elsewhere, Kenshiro encounters an Asura called Gameleo, who he easily defeats. He makes him point out which direction Hyoh's castle is, however, Shachi then kills him. Shachi says that he doesn't care for his father, so he didn't go back to him when he had the chance. He still intends to rule in this land. He then tells Kenshiro that Lin is also still here, and she has been taken by Kaioh! If he wants to get her back, he should head west to where Kaioh is. He then runs off whilst laughing, as Kenshiro has to make a choice on who he must face.
-In the manga, Kaioh makes his debut after the scene showing Jukei leaving Leia and Tao. In the anime, Kaioh was introduced earlier, at the end of the previous episode.
-Shachi's personality is quite different at this point in the manga, as he wants to help Kenshiro. However, in the anime, he's shown to still be quite dark hearted, such as laughing when he sees the destroyed village, giving Lin away without putting up a fight, and the scene at the end of the episode.
-In the manga, Leia and Tao leave Jukei and meet Shachi and Lin. Leia tells Shachi that Kenshiro and Hyoh are brothers, but he decides not to tell Kenshiro yet.
He then heads off with Kenshiro, whilst telling Leia to take Tao and Lin and head back to their village. None of this is in the anime.
-In the manga, Kaioh captures Lin in front of Leia and Tao. Leia then catches up
with Shachi and tells him and Kenshiro what happened to Lin. In the anime, this is completely different, as Kaioh takes Lin from Shachi, and then tells him to head to his castle later for any reward he wants.
-In the manga, after Kaioh gets Lin, there is a scene where two boys mistake Kenshiro for Hyo and run away from him. This was used earlier in the anime, in the previous episode.
-The opening recap takes clips from episodes 129, 131 and 133. The clips taken from episode 133 have a few differences, click here for details.
-Kaioh's horse is never named. Some places give the horse the name of Hayabusamaru or Gouten, but according to the wikia, the horse has never been named officially.
-Gameleo's voice actor, Ken Yamaguchi, previously voiced Ein.
-When first seen, Kaioh's helmet has yellow-colored tusks and middle horn. But during the next shot, the tusks are now colored the same gray color as the rest of his helmet, whilst all three of the horns are now colored yellow.
The little circle things on the side of his helmet also switch colors. This tusks/horn coloring issue happens throughout the rest of the series, so I'm only going to mention it here.
-During this shot, the lower back parts of Kaioh's helmet are colored yellow instead of gray.
