Synopsis
Kenshiro stops some thieves, but finds out that are doing it because they are being made to. Lord Sabato has taken over their own village, forcing them to gather up food for him. Kenshiro helps the villagers out, and heads back to their place, where he defeats Sabato. The villagers decide to fight as well, and help Kenshiro defeat Sabato's men.
Later on, Kenshiro is challenged to a fight by Ryuga. Ryuga attacks repeatedly, but cannot seem to get Kenshiro to fight back, who keeps avoiding or blocking his strikes. The best Ryuga can do is cut Kenshiro's face.
Eventually Kenshiro just walks away from Ryuga, without saying anything to him. Ryuga lets him go, but pulls out a small picture of Yuria... his beloved sister! Ryuga doesn't know which of the "great trees" the world needs. But he asks his little sister to forgive him... he must fight the man she loved!
-Almost all of this episode is filler -the only scene that happens from the manga is right at the end, where Ryuga reveals he is Yuria's sister (the fight between him and Kenshiro seen in this episode does not happen in the manga).
-There was a two week gap between this episode and the previous one during the original broadcast, usually new episodes of the series aired once per week.
-This episode's preview (seen in the previous episode) has a few differences to what certain shots look like in the episode itself, click here for details.
-Mami's voice actress, Hiroko Emori, previously did the voices for Rima, Yu, Lan, Ryo and Rem.
-According to the TV Tropes Fist of the North Star page, this episode was a result of executive meddling. Due to the violence in the show, it had come under fire from a bunch of moral guardians, and so this episode was created where Kenshiro teaches the young villagers not to steal... they should just fight back instead... because violence solves everything, right?
-During this shot, Jinom's face mask is suddenly missing. It was there before and it comes back after.
-A few seconds later, when everyone is running towards Kenshiro, nobody is wearing their masks. Everyone gains them seconds later.
