Kenshiro, Fudou, Bat and Lin come across a bridge they need to cross, but it is guarded by the Fist King's troops, who have set explosives on it. Kenshiro hides in a cart which Fudou takes across the bridge, whilst Lin and Bat in drag follow. However, when they get across, they get found out and Kenshiro gets into a fight with Baruda, master of Kazan sansaso (Huashan ranseur). Kenshiro kills him, and the group continue on towards the capital.

Meanwhile, Juza and his gang head out and find Raoh. Raoh is surprised to see Juza, and never thought he would try and stop him. Juza runs towards Raoh, jumps up...

...and uses a technique which results in Raoh's helmet being destroyed. Raoh doesn't understand what it could have been that made Juza fight again, but if he really does intend to fight, so be it. Raoh stands on the same ground as his opponent. Juza knows that Raoh acknowledges the power of his fists, and also tells him that in the name of the last general of the South Star, he will bury him here.

Manga Differences

-Juza is given Fudou's army in the manga. In the anime, this was changed so his own gang joins him.

-There is a scene in the manga where part of Fudou's army goes out and fights Raoh, fully knowing they will die and just wanting to slow him down. This is not in the anime.

-All of the scenes with Kenshiro's group in this episode are not in the manga.

-In the manga, after Raoh defeats the first wave of Fudou's army, the rest of it appear along with Juza.

In the anime, Juza and his entire gang all appear before Raoh together.

-In the manga, after Juza destroys Raoh's helmet, there is a flashback scene with Juza and Yuria. This was used in this episode of the anime.
