Synopsis
Bat and Lin think about what has happened since they met Kenshiro, including the time he defeated Zeed, when they first met Mamiya and Rei, and how Airi was saved. Meanwhile, at Cassandra prison, Ken-Oh's royal gaurd have arrived, and are determined to restore order.
-This episode is mostly a clip show, so obviously it was mostly not in the manga. However, the scene at the very end with the Fist King's forces was in the manga, but it was slightly different -one of the prison guards goes to the Fist King's guys and says he is still on their side, but they kill him anyway. For the anime, they changed it so two guards decide to change sides, only for both of them to get killed by the Fist King's forces.
-The title card for this episode fades out, whilst in previous episodes they jump cut.
-The clips shown, for the most part, look the same as they did when they were originally broadcast, other than them having a slightly yellow tint to them. However, there are a few differences with the clips from episodes 39 and 40 -click here for details.
