Synopsis

The fight between Juza and Raoh starts. Juza shows no fear at all, and is so powerful that one of his kicks forces Raoh to kneel. Meanwhile, Kenshiro's encounter one of the Fist King's soldiers: Jemoni, a man who wants to kill 10,000 people. He only has one more kill to go and wants it to be Kenshiro, but Kenshiro hits a pressure point on him which makes him decapitate himself.



Back at the fight, Raoh remembers back to when Toki was trying to get some bird eggs out of a nest. Raoh punched the tree down, but Juza moved so fast they didn't see him take the eggs first. Juza told Raoh it was just like him to do something like that, and then threw one of the eggs into his face. Raoh got really angry and wanted to fight, but Juza was gone. Ryuken appeared and told Raoh to calm down, as him getting mad was what his opponent wanted. Juza was just as powerful as him.



The fight resumes, and Raoh manages to hit Juza with a kick, although it doesn't hit a pressure point, or seemingly do much damage. Juza decides to change tactics and instead of fighting Raoh, he steals the Black King and then has his gang dump several large boulders on Raoh's troops. Juza and his gang then move away, with Juza telling Raoh that you can only have fun whilst you are alive, so he doesn't plan on dying yet. He meets up with his gang, and Rihaku's men tell him he needs to keep Raoh held back for two more days. As Juza rides on, the kick Raoh hit him with has made him bleed quite badly, and he wonders if he really will have to give up his life after all.



Manga Differences

-The scene at the start with the last general, Rihaku and Tou happens slightly later in the manga. However, that scene marked the first time Rihaku and Tou appeared in the manga, whilst they were introduced much earlier in the anime.

These two characters cannot be seen clearly in the manga at this point, either.

-The scenes with Kenshiro's group in this episode are all filler, and were not in the manga.

-In the manga, Raoh smiles when he says not everything will go Juza's way. He does not smile in the anime.



Notes

-The opening recap uses clips from the previous episodes -with a few differences. Click here for more details.

-Jemoni's voice actor, Yuji Mikimoto, previously did the voices for Junk, Fuuga, Gunther and Glen.

-At one point, there is a shot of Juza upside down. However, I don't know whether to put this as an error or not, because this also happens in the manga.



Errors

-In one of the shot's of Juza's gang, there is one guy who is clearly using Kenshiro's animation model, just with blue hair and eyebrows. This guy appears again a few shots later, but has a different face and hair style.
-When Kenshiro asks Fudou if he senses the blood shed, he has a black shoulder pad instead of a gray one.

-When Kenshiro explains to Jemoni about the pressure point he just hit, part of Jemoni's right hand keeps flashing black.
