Synopsis
A group of men head to Cassandra prison, intending to free the prisoners in there. As they arrive, they are confronted by Raiga and Fuuga, masters of nishin fuurai ken (dual gods of wind and thunder fist), and are all killed by them. Later on, Kenshiro, Rei and Mamiya arrive at the prison gates, and are also confronted by the two brothers. |
Kenshiro fights them and breaks their attack. They believe that he might be the man they have been waiting for -the one strong enough to end the legend of Cassandra. They offer to help him, but then a prison guard threatens to kill Mitsu, their other, younger brother. They let him die, as he understands that they must help Kenshiro now. Many prison guards are then sent out to try and kill Kenshiro, as a major battle takes place. Many of the guards are killed during the fight. |
With the guards dead, Raiga and Fuuga open the gates to Cassandra. Kenshiro says they will stay open forever, just as the prison warden, Uighur, appears before him. He approves of Kenshiro's reckless bravery, but anything about him being a savior is something he finds funny. He says he will turn his hope into despair. The two face each other down, as their fated fight is about to begin. |
-The scene at the start, where some men try to attack Raiga and Fuuga, was not in the manga.
This is not in the anime. -The battle between Kenshiro's group and the guards was not in the manga -Raiga and Fuuga just change sides, then knock down the gates straight way. |
