Rei only has three days left to live, but he keeps having random moments of severe pain. He tells Kenshiro outside that this must be the fear Raoh told him he would feel. Mamiya decides to travel to Medicine City to try and get something to ease Rei's pain, only letting Bat know where she is going. |

In Medicine City, things have fallen into disorder. It used to be one of the Fist King's territories, but since his reputation has been tarnished, a man called Lord Galf has taken over. He loves dogs, and one of them is attacking a child. One villager kills the dog, but Galf later finds and kills him, as the life of a child is not worth the life of a dog in his eyes. Meanwhile, Mamiya enters the city and finds a large warehouse full of supplies. But a dog also finds her, which she has to kill. |

Galf soon finds her and knocks her out with one of his collars. When Mamiya wakes up, she finds she has been tied up to a post, and several dogs are let loose which run around and bite at her. Meanwhile, Kenshiro and Rei enter the city, having found out from Bat that it is where Mamiya had gone. They find out about Lord Galf from one of his men, and head off to find him. |
-The dogs bites the child's arm in the manga. The anime doesn't have this. |
