Synopsis
Jukei hits a pressure point on Hyoh, and tells him that the secret for the North Star lapis lazuli fist's destruction is apparently in his own mind! Jukei reveals that due to the sheer evilness of the North Star lapis lazuli fist style, he has decided that it must not exist, and he needs to end the lives of those who have mastered it. He tells Hyoh that he was once overwhelmed by North Star lapis lazuli fist, and went to challenge Ryuken, the current North Star divine fist master of the time. Ryuken managed to defeat him and revert him to normal, but he revealed that Jukei had killed his own wife and son in a rage. Jukei realized on that day just how evil the North Star lapis lazuli fist style was. Back in the present, Jukei finally reveals to Hyoh that Kenshiro is his brother! Hyoh doesn't believe him, but Jukei explains that they are related by blood, and that they are descended from the North Star clan. Before the North Star divine fist and North Star lapis lazuli fist were created, there was the North Star clan. Hyoh is the one who knows the hidden technique which is needed to defeat Kaioh -it lies in a memory within him.
Hyoh has a memory of standing with Raoh and Toki, and Raoh passes him a child, who begins to shine. Hyoh can't remember what this is, or who he is holding. Jukei realizes that spell he tried on Hyoh isn't working as well as he'd hoped. Meanwhile, Kenshiro has found Kaioh and Lin, but Lin tells Ken not to fight with Kaioh -she believes that he isn't ready yet! Kaioh says that the seal hasn't been broken yet. Kenshiro doesn't understand what that is meant to mean, but he is still determined to rescue Lin. However, Kaioh declares that he will be the ruler in the new century, and he blasts Kenshiro. It seems that even Kenshiro cannot defend himself from this attack, as he is moved up into the air. The entire land seems to vanish, and they appear to be fighting on nothing!
Kaioh uses a technique called anryuu hiha (dark lapis lazuli falling destruction), which hits Kenshiro and injures him. Kenshiro seems to be able to do nothing against Kaioh.
-In the manga, before Kenshiro gets to Kaioh, he has to fight a load of centipede troops -these guys were used earlier in the anime, where they serve Gamon instead. The anime has a different squad of men sent to fight, who wear gold armor.
-The opening recap uses clips from the previous episode, with some minor differences. Some of this episode's preview clips (seen at the end of the previous episode) are also slightly different, click here for more details.

-When Ryuken finds Jukei, there is a shot of Jukei where he has no shirt on.
-When Ryuken goes to strike Jukei in his neck, his mustache is skin colored.
-When Ryuken and Jukei are talking after Jukei has returned to normal, there is a shot of Jukei with a gray shirt instead of green.
-When the last guard tells Kenshiro he is nothing compared to Kaioh, he has blue armor instead of gold.

there is a shot where Hyoh has his armor back on.
