The gates to Cassandra have been opened -and Kenshiro says they shall never be closed again. His group walks into Cassandra, and the guards there are surprised that Raiga and Fuuga let them in -they've never let anyone through the gates before.
Villains Need No Graves!
This Is the Hellish Cassandra!!
Uighur sees that Kenshiro has finally set foot on this land, and praises his reckless bravery in voluntarily entering Cassandra. Kenshiro says that the word reckless means nothing to him. Uighur tells him he's yet to taste the fear, but he'll now give him plenty of it.
Raiga and Fuuga say they've put their faith in Kenshiro, and call him the savior they've been waiting for. Uighur tells them there's no such thing as a savior, and the hopes they have in Kenshiro... he'll crush them to nothing. Their hope will turn into despair! Everyone then hears the cries of the prisoners inside Cassandra, and then Rei and Mamiya notice the graves nearby.
Raiga and Fuuga says those are the graves of those who challenged Cassandra, and its cursed, dark past. Many were killed by Uighur, but Raiga and Fuuga have also killed a lot.
Uighur laughs and says that the graveyard is the symbol of Cassandra, and watching it expand is his greatest pleasure. He tells Kenshiro that they've got a grave prepared for him, so he can die at ease. Kenshiro asks him if it's a wide grave, and when Uighur says it's not, Kenshiro tells him that he'll beat him into as small of a bloody pulp as he can.
Uighur asks him what he means, so Kenshiro tells him -the one going into that grave is him. Uighur gets his whips out, and asks him if he wants a taste of them.
Some of the guards think Kenshiro is a fool, as nobody can beat Uighur. But some think Kenshiro is going to win, and they start betting food on it. One says that he can feel that the Cassandra legend is going to be broken. Meanwhile, Uighur makes the first move, and starts swinging his whips rapidly:
TAIZAN RYU SOJOU BEN
(Taishan Style Twin Streak Whip)
His technique lets him use the whips at such speed that they seem to disappear. Kenshiro seems to be taking several hits, but remains in place. Uighur says this is the end, and goes to strike Kenshiro for the last time.
Again, Kenshiro remains still. But the next thing anyone knows is that Uighur has been hit -Kenshiro has deflected his whips back at him, which have struck him in the face. He then sees that Kenshiro even had time to tie his whips together.
The guards can't believe it, and more of them start betting on Kenshiro. Raiga thinks they shouldn't write Uighur off yet, as he's still got much more. Uighur tells Kenshiro that just fighting alone isn't very entertaining.
He rips some hairs out of his beard, and counts them. There are five in total, so he has some prisoners from prison number 5 dragged out. He then has these prisoners placed in a guillotine.
Uighur points at it and says their lives are on the line, and if he wins, their heads will roll. Raiga and Fuuga tell him to stop, as they want to take the prisoner's places. Uighur claims he can't hear them, and says that betting the lives of those who are in fear it what makes it more amusing. Kenshiro thinks that instead of toying with their lives, he should worry about his own.
Uighur calls him insolent, and then pulls out the horns on his helmet. He reveals that he has more whips, and says that Kenshiro won't be able to tie them this time.
TAIZAN RYU SENJOU BEN
(Taishan Style Thousand Streak Whip)
As Uighur attacks, his whips break up into many, and they then disappear. By the time Kenshiro realizes it, he's been tied up by the whips. Uighur stomps the horns into the ground, and tells Kenshiro to behold his true form.
MOKO HAKYOKU DO
(Mongolian Champion Way)
Uighur charges forward, and rams Kenshiro with his bulked-up arm. The whips get torn apart, and Kenshiro is sent flying across the prison's grounds.
He crashes into the graveyard, and he seems to lose consciousness...
At Mamiya's village, Lin is watering her flowers, but then clutches at her chest. Airi and Bat check on her, and she says that her chest suddenly started to hurt.
Raiga and Fuuga think that their savior has lost. Uighur says his technique has him pour all of his body's strength into one powerful attack, and no one hit by it has ever survived. He tells everyone that their hope has turned into despair. Inside the prison, a guard tells Toki that it sounds like it's all over.
Toki tells the guard that if Kenshiro has been defeated here, it means he can't withstand the challenge that awaits him. Back outside, Uighur says it's time to chop off some heads. The prisoners don't want to die, but Uighur says he can't hear them. Nearby, Kenshiro hears Lin's voice, who tells him to hang on.
Uighur tells one of the guards to cut the ropes, but before he can, his head explodes. Kenshiro is back up.
Uighur thinks it's impossible for Kenshiro to have survived, but Kenshiro says that this is the end -the legend of Cassandra will now be erased. Uighur thinks otherwise, and tells him to look at this.
The ground rumbles, and something bursts out of it behind Kenshiro. A wall of spikes has appeared, and Uighur tells Kenshiro that he has nowhere to run now. Kenshiro just tells him that playtime is over, and goes into a stance. He says he'll take on Uighur's technique with just six fingers.
Uighur says he won't stand for that, and charges. But Kenshiro manages to stop him. Uighur tells him he's not bad, managing to stop him, but this is as far as he goes. Uighur continues to push himself forward...
...but he can't move Kenshiro. Kenshiro grabs onto his arm, crushing it. Uighur screams in pain.
HOKUTO KOURETSU HA
(North Star Steel-rending Grasp)
Kenshiro tells Uighur that he can't use his Mongolian champion way technique again. The tragic and despair-filled legend stained with his evil... he will crush it now, with his fist. Uighur says he can't hear anything, and says that Cassandra's legend is indestructible. He charges towards Kenshiro, and a set of spikes burst up through his helmet.
Kenshiro avoids his charge, and then rips his own shirt and jacket off. He punches Uighur in the face...
...and then does the same thing again. He then starts punching Uighur over and over again, then does one last punch that sends him flying away:
HOKUTO HYAKURETSU KEN
(North Star Hundred Crack Fist)
Uighur flies into the grave that was meant for Kenshiro. Kenshiro says it looks like the grave was too small, but this problem will soon take care of itself. Uighur's body starts to cave in on itself, as he fits into the grave.
Kenshiro tells him to go ahead and die at ease. Uighur asks for help, but he then explodes, blowing apart the gravestone.
Kenshiro says that villains have no need for graves. Several guards then confront Kenshiro, and say they'll avenge the warden. They start to run towards him, but he turns around, and they all stop. Kenshiro asks if he must add more graves without gravestones.
The guards drop their weapons. Raiga and Fuuga say that Kenshiro defeated those guards with just one piercing glare, and it seems their savior has boundless powers deep within him. Rei and Mamiya then notice that they can no longer hear the howling wind around Cassandra, and Rei says the devil's cries have ceased.
At Mamiya's village, Airi asks Lin if she should be resting, but Lin says she's all better now, and is going to see to her flowers. Bat says she had them all worried, but she just laughs.
At Cassandra, the prisoners are freed, and celebrate with the guards. The legend of Cassandra has been broken, and some of them says that they'll never be the Fist King's pawns again. Inside, the guard to Toki's cell says that the devil's cry has turned into a shout of joy. Toki thinks that Kenshiro has done well here, but this is only the entrance to hell.
