Synopsis
Juza watches as one of Rihaku's men threatens to kill himself if Juza doesn't go off to fight Raoh. But Juza still doesn't care. Meanwhile, Kenshiro's group are taken into a village, having been caught stealing water. Dolphy, the man in charge of the village (which was given to him by the Fist King), decides to have the villagers decide their fate, and asks if they should be executed. Almost all of the villagers raise their hands to agree, but only because Zenda, Dolphy's partner in evil, will kill any who won't. The village elder refuses, saying that the group did nothing wrong, but he is killed by Zenda.
Kenshiro gets into a fight with Dolphy, the latter using Taizan kokuei ken (Taishan silhouette fist). Zenda distracts Kenshiro by shining light into his face, letting Dolphy get in some hits, but Fudou helps out by throwing Zenda down to the ground. It doesn't take long for Kenshiro to hit pressure points on them both, and kill them. Meanwhile, Juza is having another party in his castle when he notices a new woman has joined them. He doesn't realize that the woman is Tou, who pours him a drink with a drug in it, that makes him pass out.
When Juza wakes up, he is in the South Star capital, where Rihaku and Tou are waiting. Juza says he still doesn't want to fight, but then the general appears. However, Juza is surprised when it turns out the general is a woman. She asks him to give up his life for her, before removing her helmet. When Juza realizes who the last general is, he breaks free of his chains and says that he will -he will give up his life for her.
-The scene at the start with Raoh did not have Juza appear in the manga. They changed it so he is present in the anime.
-The scenes with Dolphy are all filler, and were not in the manga.
-The party scene was not in the manga, and neither was Tou going to Juza's castle. In the manga, Juza suddenly wakes up in the South Star capital, and sees Rihaku's two guys. He realizes they must have drugged him (somehow). In the anime, they changed it so Tou had to be sent to retrieve Juza, and it's shown how she did it.
-In the manga, Rihaku and Tou are not present when the last general appears before Juza. They are present in the anime.
-In the manga, the last General touches Juza before removing her helmet, she doesn't do this in the anime.
-Dolphy's voice actor, Ikuya Sawaki, has previously voiced several other characters, including Johnny, Raiga and Abida.
-Zenda's voice actor, Ryoichi Tanaka, previously voiced the boxer who tried to kill Amiba.
-The next episode preview has a couple of frames of Kenshiro -specifically, these two -which are not actually shown in the next episode itself.
-During this shot, Kenshiro's arm bandages are missing.
-At the end of the next episode preview, there is this shot of Kenshiro. He has a blue shoulder pad instead of gray. However, in the next episode, this shot was redrawn, and the shoulder pad color was corrected.
