Synopsis
Nagato and some of Hyoh's most loyal Asuras watch as their leader attacks a village, destroying anything that gets in his way. They are not happy with how Hyoh has become Kaioh's second in command, as they had been hoping he would one day defeat Kaioh, and become the Land of Asura's savior. It seems that day will never happen now. The next morning, Nagato happens to find Kenshiro and Shachi, with the latter in pain due to the wounds he got from when Kaioh attacked him. Nagato takes them back to his village, where Shachi can rest. Nagato tells his father, Petero, that he has to go now. He wants to tell Hyoh how he feels, and how he is unhappy with how he has changed. He may never come back, so he asks for his father to look after the family if he is killed.
Nagato and the four Asuras find Hyoh, and tell them how they feel. Hyo doesn't care about what they have to say and kills the four Asuras without hesitation. When Nagato tries to attack him, Hyoh casually cuts him in half and kills him, saying that nobody will find any tears from him.
Hyoh later has part of his army go to Nagato's village to destroy it. Kenshiro and Shachi arrive and are able to save Nagato's father and children, but many villagers have been killed, and the village is set on fire. Kenshiro starts to walk away, so Shachi asks if he is going to go and find Hyoh. Kenshiro say that he is. Shachi knows something Kenshiro doesn't -that Hyoh is Kenshiro's real brother. He thinks on whether or not he should tell Ken this, as if he told him, would he really be able to defeat his own brother? There is only one way to find out, and Shachi tells Kenshiro that he cannot fight Hyoh, because Hyoh is his brother! Kenshiro is stunned at this revelation, but isn't fazed by it for long. After getting over it he continues on. He tells Shachi that if this is the case, then it's even more the reason for him to defeat Hyoh!
-Whilst Nagato has made appearances in previous episodes of the anime, when he appears before Hyoh is the first time he appears in the manga.
-The opening scene in this episode, where Nagato has a flashback, was not in the manga.
-The scene where Shachi suffers from his injuries was not in the manga. In the manga, he and Kenshiro just happen to find Nagato's village when it's under attack, but in the anime, they are taken to it before that happens.
-Nagato wears a cape in the manga, which he doesn't have in the anime.
-Hyoh decapitates Nagato in the manga.
In the anime, he cuts him in half.
-Petero is not in the manga.
-Yom dies in the manga, but he survives in the anime.
-Some of the clips from this episode's preview -which was shown at the end of the previous episode -has a few differences, click here for more details.
-Petero is not named in the episode.
-Nagato is missing his mustache in one shot of him talking to Hyoh whilst kneeling.
-How did Shachi know that Hyoh was Kenshiro's brother? In the manga, he finds out he is from Leia. However the scene where this happens never made it into the anime, so Shachi shouldn't have any idea about Hyoh and Kenshiro beings brothers. I guess it could be possible Jukei had told him at some point in the past, but Shachi has never been seen thinking about this information before.
