Synopsis
Raoh gets one of his men, Zaku, to send his forces out to delay Kenshiro getting to the South Star capital. Fudou tells Kenshiro to go on by himself, whilst he protects Bat and Lin and takes care of the enemy. As Kenshiro runs off, Fudou devastates everyone who tries to fight him, and soon Zaku realizes that he is almost out of troops to send in. However, another of the Fist King's underlings called Hiruka then appears, and says that he can deal with Fudou.
Hiruka knows that Fudou looks after orphaned children, and heads to his village. He kills the guards there with a move called jako tai (biting snake sash), which is part of the Taizan yo ken (Taishan bewitching fist) style. He soon finds the kids and captures all but one of them, who manages to hide. Later on, this kid, Kan, is trying to find help when some of the Fist King's troops find him, but Kenshiro then finds and defeats them. He finds out from Kan about what has happened.
Hiruka sends a message to Fudou about what he has done, and when Fudou heads to where he was told to go, he finds a quicksand pit. Hiruka has two kids thrown into it, but Fudou jumps in and tries to save them. With Fudou now also stuck in the pit, he apologizes to his leader, as it looks like this will be the end of him. But he is determined to save the lives of these children, as he does not want them to lose their bright futures.
-The scenes with Fudou fighting the Fist King's troops happen earlier in the manga.
-The scene with Hiruka meeting Zaku was not in the manga.
-The scene where Hiruka goes to Fudou's village, kills the guards and captures the children was never shown in the manga, it's only mentioned by Kan.
-In the manga, Fudou, Bat and Lin just happen to find the quick sand pit, then Hiruka and his troops appear. In the anime, Fudou is given a message about it first, so he knows where to go.
-This episode's preview -which was shown at the end of the previous episode -has a few differences with the clips used, compared to what's seen in this episode. Click here for more details.
-Kan is not named in this episode. He will be in the next one.
-Zaku is suddenly much taller than usual when Hiruka finds him -earlier on in the episode he's clearly far shorter than Raoh, but later on he's just as tall as him.
-The guy with the whip has a red mohawk instead of a yellow one when Kenshiro stops his attack.
