Synopsis

Kenshiro exits the sewers and uses a technique to heal himself. Meanwhile, at Mamiya's village, Toki has decided he must leave. When the South Star is in disarray, the North Star appears. He knows he must find Kenshiro, as there is something important he needs to tell him. At the mausoleum, Souther reveals his plan: he wants Shu to take the last piece of his pyramid and place it at the very top, to complete it. Even though Shu's legs are badly injured, he starts to work his way up the structure, as the lives of the captured children are at stake if he fails.

Toki comes across some of Shu's men, who are attacked by Souther's forces. Toki defeats Souther's men. Not far away, another large part of Souther's army is waiting for Kenshiro to appear, so they can attack him. However, Raoh appears behind them. The army are at first scared of him, but they eventually attack.

However they are absolutely no match for Raoh, who tears them apart with ease. Elsewhere, Kenshiro starts to make his way to the mausoleum -the cries of the star of benevolence are calling together the three North Stars.

Manga Differences

-The scene with Raoh at his fortress was longer in the manga, as there was a part where Toki appears and says he knows what Souther's secret is.

This part got cut from the anime.

-The scene with Toki leaving Mamiya's village was not in the manga.

-In the manga, Raoh and Toki are together when they find some of Shu's men cornered by Souther's army, and they both defeat the Holy Cross troops. In the anime, Toki is the one who finds Shu's men, whilst Raoh battles another part of the army in a different location. Toki and Raoh don't meet up until the next episode.

Notes

-Some of the clips used in the recap have a few small differences.
-This episode marks Mamiya's last (non-flashback) appearance for quite a while. She will return in episode 114.

Errors

Kenshiro's shoes are colored blue instead of black during this shot.
-The base Raoh is at has a slightly different exterior design again since we last saw it in the previous episode.
