With Mamiya and Airi out of the clan's clutches, Kenshiro fights the Fang King. The Fang King uses a technique called Kazan kougai koukou (Huashan steel armor) to protect himself, but Kenshiro is strong enough to hit several pressure points on him. This causes the Fang King's technique to fail, and Kenshiro uses an iron girder to batter him around. Kenshiro finishes him off with the ganzan ryozan ha ha (mountain split fissure wave) technique. He falls into some lava and dies, whilst Rei and Mamiya have destroyed the rest of the clan.

Back in Mamiya's village, Kenshiro hits pressure points on Airi and says that she will eventually be able to see again. Outside, Ken asks Rei if he will continue to look for the man with seven scars, and then removes his shirt to reveal that he is the man with seven scars! Airi then appears, and says she can see again. Rei is happy, and tells Ken he knew he couldn't have been the one who took his sister. Kenshiro finds out from Airi that the man who took her was always wearing a mask, and she only ever saw his eyes. This makes Kenshiro think... could it be that man?

In another village, the man Kenshiro is thinking of pulls up on his bike, and uses a North Star divine fist technique to stop a punk from harming a woman. He kills the punk but then claims the woman, whilst onlookers realize that he has seven scars on his chest. This man, Jagi, screams out one thing: "say my name!"

Manga Differences

-The stuff with the Fang clan blowing up parts of the land was added to the anime. In the manga, Kenshiro, Rei, Mamiya and Airi are all together, and the Fang King is the only clan member left. Kenshiro fights him right in front of his friends. Naturally, the parts where Rei and Mamiya are fighting clan members is exclusive to the anime.

-The fight with Gojiba happened earlier in the manga -see the last episode for more details.

-In the manga, when the Fang King gets desperate, he throws one of his own men into a wall thanks to him being a lousy shot (he was aiming for Kenshiro). In the anime, he throws a guy at Kenshiro, but Kenshiro places a girder in the way which he hits instead.

-The Fang King does not fall into the lava in the manga, mainly because there is no lava for him to fall in.

-Bat is present when Ken reveals to Rei that he has seven scars in the manga:

But in the anime, he's not there. He and Lin come out to where Ken and Rei are moments after Ken removes his shirt.

-Ken puts his shirt and jacket back on before thinking about Jagi in the manga, but doesn't in the anime.

Notes

-Early on in the episode, Kenshiro tells the Fang King that too many have died and suffered because of him. Some clips from these two episodes are then shown, which have some differences -click here for details.

-Jagi is not named in the episode, but the next episode preview does give it away in the title.

-Some of the animation in this episode is reused from earlier ones, such as a few of Rei's fight scenes.

-There was a two week gap between the episode and the previous one during the original broadcast, usually Fist of the North Star was broadcast once per week.

Errors

-There are a few times in this episode when Rei has green gloves on. His hands should be colored the same as his skin. On that last one, the error eventually corrects itself as Rei walks forward.
-One of the guys who tries to attack Jagi at the end of the episode goes from having a beard to just having a moustache.
-When Jagi hits pressure points on the large guy, there are a couple of frames where his shoe is colored red instead of purple.
-Near the end, one of the guys says he's heard that the man with seven scars defeated the Fang clan -how did he know about this so fast?
