Synopsis

Kenshiro thinks about Rei, another member of the South Star six holy fists, who was the master of the South Star waterfowl fist. He remembers how they fought together, and how Rei was given three days left to live by Raoh. Three days left to live... even in that time, Rei was honorable to the star of justice.



Manga Differences

-This episode is filler, and does not happen in the manga.



Notes

-There was a two week gap between this episode and the previous one during the original broadcast, usually new episodes aired once per week.

-The title card for this episode does not have the usual black background. Instead, it features lots of stars.



Errors

-When the narrator explains about the South Star waterfowl fist, part of Rei's collar flashes green a few times.
-During the preview for the next episode, Yuda speaks, saying how he is the most beautiful. But it is not his usual voice actor (Bin Shimada) saying this, and sounds like Shigeru Chiba to me. (Shigeru is the voice of the narrator, as well as several other minor characters like Joker and Komaku.)
