Kenshiro and Shachi are looking out to sea. Shachi tells Ken that, according to Jukei, he was set off from this point in a boat with Raoh and Toki. He asks if he intends to still fight Hyo and Ken tells him that he does. If Hyo has become as evil as Kaioh then he must defeat him, even if he is his real brother. The two walk off when they see a car heading towards them.



Tao is behind the wheel and when he pulls up he gives Shachi something that he, Leia and the other kids made for him: a new shoulder pad. He puts it on as Tao also has a message for them: Hyo is using villagers to uncover Raseiden. Shachi explains that Raseiden is the place where Hokuto Ryuuken originated from, but it was submerged a very long time a go.



Elsewhere, hundreds of villagers are being put to work by the Shura. They are made to carry rocks to a certain place, and need to put them in a certain spot so part of a river will be blocked off and the water will quickly drain. As an extra incentive to get them to work faster, one villager is put into a guillotine and then another is made to hold the chain controlling the blade in his mouth.



This makes the villagers work faster and soon part of the river is mostly drained, revealing a large building that was hidden underneath the water. Later on, Hyo walks towards it.



He heads inside and wonders if the objects inside it are meant to be graves of his predecessors. However he doesn't think much of them, as they never got to shine brightly thanks to Hokuto Shinken being seen as the superior style. Hyo means to change that and says that this is the perfect place for Kenshiro's death. Meanwhile the villager loses his grip on the chain and the guillotine falls, but the blade is stopped at the last moment thanks to a well placed rock being thrown in the way.



Kenshiro arrives, carrying a huge rock of his own. But when he goes up to the surprised Shura, he stops and says this is as far as he wants to carry it. He then gives the rock to the Shura, who get crushed. Shachi kicks another one into it, which causes the entire cliff they are on to crumble and fall into the river.



Saying nothing, the villagers watch as Kenshiro and Shachi head towards the building below. Inside, Hyo's matouki grows stronger and he knows that Kenshiro must be here. Sure enough, Hyo spins around and uses a projectile to try and shoot Kenshiro down, but the blast has no effect on him -it just crumbles some of the pillars nearby.



Hyo wants to kill Kenshiro here so he and Kaioh can set about creating a new order with Hokuto Ryuuken. Shachi watches from afar, but still wonders if Ken will really be able to kill his brother. As Hyo looks at Kenshiro, he feels that he has met him before and the scar on his head begins to glow.



He thinks back and remembers that memory of him casting a glowing object upwards, but he then sees a baby Kenshiro. This thought turns to one of Sayaka being killed, and he knows that Kenshiro was the one who took her life! He also killed his good friend, Han.



And therefore it doesn't matter about who Kenshiro is, it just matters that he dies. Hyo resumes his stance and prepares to fight him when suddenly a voice tells him that he seems to have completely lost his true memories. Floating in the air, Kuroyasha has appeared.



Hyo throws some blades at him, but as they look like they hit, it turns out they don't. Kuroyasha floats around to Kenshiro and welcomes him. Whilst Ken doesn't know who he is, Kuroyasha reveals that he is his guardian and looked after him when he was a baby, before he left with Raoh and Toki.



He sees that Hyo seems to have totally been consumed by his matouki, which means he must fulfill a promise he made to Jukei -he will take Hyo's life! He then floats down and creates multiple versions of himself. Hyo think that he is just trash.



He repeatedly uses the Anryu Tenha technique, but his blasts end up missing and destroy more of the pillars. Kuroyasha says that that move is limited and the technique he is using was created to counter it. Kuroyasha dives down and just misses hitting his opponent. Hyo throws his cape up into the air and it gets slashed to pieces instantly.


YUSHOU SEIBU

(Rising Fearsome Dance)



Hyo watches as Kuroyasha circles him rapidly, but notices that he is moving closer and closer. He suddenly lunges, but Hyo knows that something like this would never work on him...



...and his attack fails. Hyo slices one of his arms off and a very thin webbing can be seen behind him. He created it so he'd instantly know if he was going to attack behind him. Kuroyasha then gets blasted into a pillar before Hyo's matouki takes control of the fight. He uses it to pick Kuroyasha up and hold him in the air...



...and then says that he'll hit all 1,109 of his pressure points at the same time! A moment before his strikes are about to hit, someone else manages to stop them. Kenshiro has stepped into the fight and as Kuroyasha falls to the ground, the space around them returns to normal.



Kenshiro throws out a few punches which Hyo evades or blocks. Kenshiro then uses a rapid series of kicks, which Hyo manages to mostly parry until one kick hits him in the face.



Ken tells him that he has seen through his style and that his Hokuto Ryuuken is useless now. Hyo tells him to shut up and that he won't listen to what he has to say. A report reaches Kaioh that Kenshiro and Hyo are starting to fight each other. Kaioh is happy, but would be happier still if nobody wins the fight and they both end up killing each other.



Hyo uses his matouki to distort the space around Kenshiro, just like he did with Kuroyasha. Ken failed to counter this when Kaioh did it to him, and so Hyo readies another projectile blast to kill him with.



But Kenshiro protects himself from the attack and manages to position himself! Kuroyasha is watching and says that the technique Hyo used creates a frictionless force around the opponent. But now, Kenshiro has managed to overcome it and he must have learnt how to deal with it after his fight with Kaioh. Kenshiro has done this by spinning himself in zero gravity, and used the centrifugal force to secure his position. Hyo is surprised, as nobody has been able to counter it before.



"Hyo...the time has come to silence the demon within you!"
