That was pretty damn obvious(seen that coming for like 10 episodes), she is like the only other woman that has been shown in the show, but boy does she change her hair color a lot.

Yuria's return is pretty absurd, but at least we might get some good stuff out of it now the ridiculous cat is out of the bag.

At more than 70 episodes intervening I wonder if this is one of the longest delayed resurrections in a TV show.

When Juuza is lifted aloft by Raoh, I like the detail of Juuza having blood smeared across his teeth. Usually the animators would stop and just having a trickle of blood coming out of his mouth.

UnculturedWhitey said:
Why didn't Raoh just hit the pressure point to make Fox McCloud tell him?

Because that would negate the drama. The real problem lies in ever showing practitioners of Hukuto forcing someone to give information. It's too much power. When it's almost played for laughs with Ken it works but when something like this comes around in the story it just doesn't work.

Can't say that I knew, but I wasn't 100% sure that she died either

Well no, what about Mamiya or Airi?

IntroverTurtle said:

Indeed

But boy, isn't that woman a femme fatale? No, really, you just remember all the characters who loved her or were related to her by blood, and add to that the last events...
Btw, isn't Kenshiro a little bit stupid? He buried Shin, his deadly enemy, but not Yuria, the love of his life. Why? Or was she supposed to be burned out?

The real question is how the hell she's still alive. I'm guessing Shin lied about her death but that means we got shown a fake flashback xD

It was completely obvious since they showed Juuza change his mind about fighting.
So damn stupid to bring back a character that was supposed to be dead in the first 1/5 of the show, that only exits so that so many male characters have a reason to fight each other as if she is the only woman in the entire galaxy.
I sometimes watch chinese cartoons/stuff and share unsolicited opinions.

So can she actually fight or is she just protected by the 5 chariot stars cause shes a woman? -_- Itd be actually pretty funny if she can fight and shes even stronger than raoh but she just let Shin toss around kenshiro and didnt do anything just to make ken stronger. xD

Those little shapeshifting bastards give me the chills. I bet Fudo was crying because he didn't want to be left alone with those spawns of satan.

Jura is an idiot. His goal was to delay Raoh for two days. So why the hell did he go to get himself killed when Raoh wasn't moving until his horse would be brought back to him?
Just let the guy sit there for a few days more. Now you went like an idiot and gave him his horse back so he can advance to your general.

I doubt she had the ability to fight at the time. But as you say, since she is a south star general she must be able to fight. If she does then what the hell, she will be no different than any other woman so why would she have a south star?


Also. Wtf with her hair? I thought her hair lost the color because of her sadness while she was with Shin but now they are back so what gives?
And if i remember right she died jumping from a building. That will not make her body disappear. So we assume until now that Kenshiro found the body and buried it. So wtf! Are they gonna tell us he didn't find the body? Wouldn't that be stupid?
I mean if someone jumps from somewhere you expect to find the body under there if you can't then you will be like: "what the hell!!!"
So was Kenshiro satisfied without finding a body?

Very obvious, but now comes the question of how the hell did she survive.

AND why the hell didn't she lay some smackdown on Shin if she was an equal general?!

Kind of obvious,but the reveal was still great.

Also loved the emotional part with Fudo and his children and the fight between Juuza and Raoh.Sucks that former has to die :/

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Poor Juza
I guess it's his own fault for telling Raoh, it's someone he's really want to see

Surprise surprise
Well not for me, it's just way too obvious :P
Yuria looked very different though

Liked this episode a lot. The fight was good and intense and the reveal was perfectly staged. I think too Yuria has changed her looks a lot, I almost didnt recognize her and imo its not only the hair. The presence/drawing changed.

But why Juza desperately needed to go back to Raoh is a bit of a mystery, so I think same as Monad

Juza is going to die in his fight with Raoh, he is maybe going to reveal the last nanto general's real identity to Raoh.
And Fudo revealed that she is Yuria to Kenshiro, honestly I don't get why did they make Yuria back, that's weird, we need explanations.

Great plottwist, so Yulia is still alive, must have come as a big shock to Kenshiro.

I agree with this one thousand percent. It doesn’t make sense so hopefully the show has a good explanation in store to tell us how exactly she survived that fall. Was she always a south star general/martial artist? If she was then why didn’t she fight back against Shin and let herself be kidnapped? And why the HELL is everyone so crazy about Yuria, wtf? Need answers ASAP.

What do you bet they'll say it wasn't Yuria with Shin, but rather her half-sister or something like that. It'll be pretty ridiculous.

Yuria? What the hell man, they better have an explanation for this. Sure Juza's change of behavior was indicative, but she jumped off that building that who knows how much it is tall

As for Yuza returning, maybe he thought Raoh simply wouldn't have waited forever, and rather move anyway

The combat was pretty quick, unlike the newschool animes where you need to combat for episodes / chapters huh. Sometimes simpler things are more effective

Oh do f-off show! I'm from that time period, (born in the 70's). So I'm no stranger to this kind of pathetic/absurd tactics being tossed by 70/80's shows.

But I clearly remember how this kind of half baked "revelations & return from the dead & let's pull a rabbit for our arses yadda yadda yadda b.s" pissed me off back them. So anyone reading this can clearly imagine how it pisses me off right now!

This series is idiotic beyond words. How is it still somewhat relevant/famous is beyond me.
