Synopsis
The battle between Kenshiro and Hyoh continues. Hyoh is surprised when Kenshiro manages to hit a pressure point on his arm without him noticing the hit happen, and admits that his opponent is strong. They continue to fight.
Meanwhile, Kaioh talks to Lin. He says that the time will come soon for the North Star clan to vanish from the Earth, and it also means he doesn't have to wear his helmet any more. As he takes if off, Lin as taken aback when she sees that Kaioh looks a lot like Raoh! Kaioh says he thought she would think he looked familiar, but he believes he is superior to Raoh. The reason he resembles him is because he is Raoh's older brother! Kaioh says that his brother was a idiot who believed in foolish things like love, and that was why he turned out to be a loser who died. Lin says that Raoh would have beaten him in a fight, as it was his emotions that made him stronger, but Kaioh laughs at her reasoning. He reveals to her that he was the one who sealed Hyoh's memories away, not Jukei. With his knowledge of North Star clan locked away in his mind, Hyoh is no longer a threat to him.
Kenshiro seems to have the upper hand in the fight, landing several hits on Hyoh. Hyoh looks into Kenshiro's eyes and thinks that he doesn't look like the type of man who kills innocent women, so why did he kill Sayaka? It doesn't seem like he is an evil person at all, why would he kill her? As Hyoh thinks about this more and more, the scar on his head suddenly burns brightly and he screams, putting his hands to his head. A blue aura comes out of him, and Black Yaksha says that the essence of the North Star clan must have been within Hyoh's body! Meanwhile Lin is thrown onto a bed. Kaioh says again that Kenshiro and Hyoh will destroy each other, leaving him to rule. He then reminds Lin of what he wants her for -to bear his children. She is perfect to become his bride, and will be the one he will impregnate. The child will mark the start of the new century. A terrified Lin can only watch as Kaioh moves closer towards her.
