Synopsis
Shuren, one of the South Star five chariot stars, finds out that Huey has been killed by the Fist King. Determined to avenge him, Shuren and his army burn down their castle, so they have no home to return to, and move out to find the Fist King. Meanwhile, Bat drives past a guy in a large car, unaware that the driver is Lord Morgan, a member of the Fist King's army and a terrible driver. However, he always blames others rather than his own dismal driving ability, and is so angry that someone overtook him that he gets two of his men to find Bat's car and blow it up, which they do successfully.
Kenshiro, Bat and Lin enter Morgan's village and find out that many people there die on a daily basis due to Morgan's driving. Kenshiro confronts Morgan, defeating all of his men and stopping his car, but Morgan manages to escape. However, he dies when he loses control of his car and crashes, thanks to Bat sabotaging it without him knowing. Meanwhile, Shuren comes across some of the Fist King's troops, and has his army shoot them with flaming arrows.
Shuren then jumps down and kills two men with his gosha enjou ken technique (five chariot passionate flame fist), and finds out that the Fist King and part of his army are heading in their direction. Promising to avenge Huey, Shuren tells his army to prepare themselves.
-This episode is filler, and was not in the manga.
-Shuren's voice actor, Norio Wakamoto, previously voiced Raoh, in this episode only.
-Morgan's voice actor, Yasuo Tanaka, has previously voiced several other characters, including Mad, Gojiba and Gonzu.
-This episode marks the first one where some new background music is used. Some new tracks were composed for the fourth chapter episodes.
-During this shot, Morgan's car is colored entirely blue, the front part is meant to be white.
-How did Kenshiro not hear Bat's car being pulled away? (Maybe he always secretly hated that car -he did look extra miserable being in it early on in the episode).
