Galf: I'll show you what happens when you hurt my precious dogs!

Fate Without Tomorrow!
And Yet, A Woman Believes in Love!!

Two of Galf's men come over, and say that this villager came forward to ask if he could be of use. The villager claims otherwise, but Galf thinks he's being very commendable. One of the men passes the villager a spiked collar. The villager asks what it is, but gets his face cut.

The two guys want the villager to throw the collar at Mamiya, and they tell him not to miss. The villager says he can't do it, but the men threaten to kill him it he doesn't throw. The villager throws the collar...

...and it cuts Mamiya's arm. Galf's men aren't happy that he missed, and one of them starts to crush the villager. The other one then slices his face open.

The villager is killed, and Galf's men celebrate. Galf tells them to show everyone how it's really done. So one man grabs a collar, and throws.

He manages to get it to land over Mamiya. The other man then also has a go, and manages to do the same thing.

Mamiya asks why they're doing this, as all she came here for was to trade for food and medicine. Galf tells her that a dog's pain is his pain. And that pain will be returned at a much greater magnitude -that's his law in Medicine City. To him, dogs are the most sacred animals in the world. He thinks they're wonderful, loyal, and they never lie, making them the only companions that he can trust. He asks Seki if he thinks Mamiya is innocent, or should she get the death penalty? Seki barks, and Galf says the death penalty it is.

A bed of spikes is rolled out, and one of Galf's men says that the moment he pulls this lever, Mamiya will be skewered. He says that these spikes look really painful, and nothing turns him on like watching hot women die in agony. Someone tells him that if they're that painful, he should try them for himself. The guy turns around and asks who the hell is it...

...but he gets kicked onto the spike bed. Kenshiro and Rei have arrived, but Galf has no idea who they are. Kenshiro says he has no need to give out his name to a dead man.

Rei unties Mamiya, and tells her what she did was foolish. But she tells him that the medicine is probably in the warehouse. Rei still thinks she shouldn't have risked herself for someone like him, but he then feels a pain in his chest, and collapses. Mamiya tells him to wait here, she'll come back with some medicine. She runs off towards the warehouse.

Galf tells his men not to let her get away, so a couple of guys go after her. Kenshiro says he'll deal with things here, and tells Rei to go after Mamiya. Mamiya is attacked by another couple of dogs, but as they pounce at her, she ducks.

She takes them out with her yoyos, and keeps running. She arrives at the warehouse, but two men walk out, who are armed with chains. They say that this is Lord Galf's prized warehouse, and they can't let her enter it.

They charge, but Mamiya takes one of them out. The other manages to wrap his chain around her, and drags her towards him. He wonders how he's doing to cook her.

However, Mamiya uses her spikes to kill him. She enters the warehouse, and starts looking through the medicines. As she does, she hears a noise behind her.

Someone tells her she's gone far enough, and she sees a man juggling some spheres behind her. The man, Zorige, asks her if she'd like to say a prayer. But he then realizes that Mamiya isn't alone, as Rei appears at the warehouse's entrance. Rei warns Zorige that if he lays one finger on Mamiya, he won't let him live.

Zorige responds by throwing a sphere at Mamiya. She gets out of the way, as the sphere bursts, revealing that it was full of acid. Zorige asks if she liked his present, and introduces himself. He says that his weapon of choice is sulphuric acid, and wants to see if they can dodge his attack.

At Mamiya's village, Lin is watering the ground when she thinks about Mamiya. She wonders if she's safe. She then accidentally throws water over Bat without realizing it, so he starts chasing her and Pel.

As they run, Bat says Mamiya will be fine, as Ken will be with her. Lin thanks him for that. Nearby, Airi watches Bat and Lin, when Toki appears. Toki tells her that Rei has seen hell, and should know his own fate. Airi says she understands.

Back in the warehouse, Zorige asks Rei and Mamiya what's wrong -are they not up for this? He throws a sphere at Rei, but Rei leaps up and lands next to Mamiya.

Zorige throws some more spheres out, but Rei slices them into pieces before they can hit him or Mamiya. Zorige says that was just a greeting, and says to try this. He throws another two spheres out.

Rei manages to slice one apart, but the other one hits his shoulder.

Zorige says this is the end, and throws two more spheres. But this time, Rei is able to catch them both, and throws them back at Zorige. The spheres hit Zorige's shoulders.

Rei quickly finishes Zorige off by slicing him apart. Rei collapses, and as Mamiya helps him up, he accidentally knocks down some medicines. Mamiya looks at one of them and says this was what she was looking for.

Outside, a pack of dogs growl at Kenshiro. Kenshiro glares at them, and this scares them all away.

This really angers Galf -how dare he scare his dear friends?! He pulls out two spiked collars, and starts spinning them around. But Kenshiro simply grabs the collars from him. Galf tries to get them back, but Kenshiro slices his hand with one of them.

Kenshiro then slices Galf's face, before plunging the collars into his chest. Galf falls, but Kenshiro turns around and starts walking away from him.

Galf attempts to attack Kenshiro from behind, but gets kicked in the head instead. Kenshiro then starts rapidly kicking Galf, knocking him down again.

Galf wonders just who this guy is, when Rei and Mamiya appear. Rei says he was too late -he wanted to rush back to warn Galf, about Kenshiro's North Star divine fist. Galf immediately knows that this guy must by the one who fought the Fist King to a standstill, and Rei says that's correct. Kenshiro tells Galf that he should have figured that out before picking a fight.

Galf asks if that means he's... Rei tells him yeah, he's already dead. Galf collapses, and sees Seki. He tells Seki that he doesn't want to die, and asks for help. Seki responds by urinating on him.

Rei thinks Seki was some friend. Galf then explodes, and the rest of his men run away.

Mamiya suddenly collapses, but says she just ran out of steam. Rei thinks she should stop fighting, as there's no need for her to abandon her own future. Mamiya thanks him, but there's a reason she wants to continue to fight.

As Rei starts to help her up, he realizes that part of her clothes have been torn... and he feels a mark on his shoulder. He seems to recognize the mark, which is the letters "UD".

When Mamiya realizes what has happened, she pushes away from him. The villagers also see it, and realize that Mamiya must have been one of Yuda's women! They think she must have been through hell. Rei asks her why that mark is on her shoulder.

Mamiya says that Yuda was the man who took her future away from her, and condemned her to fighting for the rest of her life. The scar will never go away, much like the scars in her heart. She asks Rei not to even look at her. Kenshiro thinks that Yuda must be the one who holds the key to Mamiya's vision of the death omen star.

At Yuda's fortress, Yuda walks past some of his women, and applies some makeup.

He asks the ladies if he is beautiful, and they all reply in union: he is indeed. Yuda laughs, and says that he is stronger than anyone in the world... and the most beautiful.
