Synopsis
Toki and Raoh meet up after defeating some of Souther's men. Raoh says he is going to the mausoleum to witness Kenshiro's death, but finds out that Toki knows Souther's secret. Toki says he will not let Kenshiro die yet. Later on, Kenshiro arrives at the mausoleum, as do Raoh and Toki. Despite having three of the most powerful men on Earth standing before him, Souther is not bothered.
Shu is at the top of the mausoleum and says that a South Star can never rule. This angers Souther, who has his men shoot Shu with arrows, before Souther lands the finishing blow by throwing a large spear at him. Kenshiro runs up the pyramid, but cannot stop the spear from hitting Shu.
Shu knows he is going to die, but something incredible has happened -he can see again! He has his wish of being able to see Kenshiro grown up, and tells him to go on and open the path of this age -he will forever be watching over him. He then dies by letting the last piece of the mausoleum crush him. Kenshiro tells Shu to live on inside him before turning around and telling Souther that once he is through with him, there will be nothing left!
-The scene where Raoh and Toki fight some of Souther's men at the start of the episode was not in the manga.
-Souther's line about one of his men being already dead was not in the manga.
-When Raoh and Toki arrive at the mausoleum, they are together in the manga.
They were split up for the anime.
-Shu's line about his son and wife waiting for him was not in the manga. You never see that image of his wife in the manga either.
-Toki's line about Shu shining brightly was not in the manga.
-Two days after this episode originally aired in Japan, the Fist of the North Star movie was released in Japanese cinemas.
-At one point, this shot of legs running -which was previously used in this episode and this episode -is used again in this episode. It has the same problem where boots don't touch the ground.
