| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Kenshiro shooting down helicopters with javelins... wow. Now I've REALLY seen it all. Looks like the showdown with Shin is coming up. Should be pretty awesome. |

| That village with a bus as it's entrance is such a blatant rip-off of Mad Max 2 O_o |
 |
| 5 out of 5: Loved it! |
| Sig deleted for being too large. |

Remember, this anime came out only a couple years after the Road Warrior did. Oh, and apparently tanks are no problem for Kenny's fists and thunder kicks! God I love this show! |
| This episode was bad... terribad. If it was aiming for self-parody it could be an acceptable episode, but, well, it wasn't. |
| It just keeps getting more brutal. |
| Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration. |
rlayer said: I noticed the bond part as well lolAhahaha, the James Bond part with the snipers was entirely unexpected. I find it a little silly though how the guns shoot knives and helicopters shoot spears. I'll bet Ken could catch and throw a bullet back. |
Zell182 said: That village with a bus as it's entrance is such a blatant rip-off of Mad Max 2 O_o This series was already ripping off Mad Max with the clownish biker enemies in almost every episode. There was no stand-off at the town as in Mad Max so I think it'd be alright to call it a "homage" rather than a "rip-off". Maybe. Tiago97 said: This episode was bad... terribad. If it was aiming for self-parody it could be an acceptable episode, but, well, it wasn't. Who says it wasn't? I'd call this the best episode yet for being so funny. I'd heard this series takes about 20 episodes to get off the ground and it seems to be true. |
| RIP Saki's brother, went through hell to give Ken the location. |

Ken totaling the tank last episode foreshadowed it but I agree, the episode was so over-the-top in its presentation, Ken didn't even have to mess up his shirt! It can only get better from here. |

| Well that was fun. |
 |
| Helicopters only weakness.. javelin, ofc everyone knew that! That Garekki, he knows.. no one can interrupt tea/snack time! xD Wait a minute.. cannonball isn't martial art technique!! "METAMII" What??? What a weird last word Wait that cannonball guy isn't dead yet, well if he can't move.. he's probably dead soon after that |
"Signature removed"   |
| With one javelin, Ken knocked down 4 helicopters, amazing!!!! Well, now Ken has a clue when he can find Julia!!! |
| Yea this episode was definitely a bit over the top lol. Gotta love that guy's dedication to having his meal on time. |
|
| Kenshiro just spearing down some helicopters, whats next him throwing some rocks at rockets? |
 |
| Some even more ridiculous/hilarious action this episode. I felt bad for the guy Kenshiro was controlling in the helicopter for some reason. These suckers don't stand a chance. lol |
| Watched this episode with a friend yesterday and we both laughed our asses off when it turned out the cannons were shooting humans with swords. XD But the amount of choppers in this episode: simply ridiculous. So people can't use normal guns, but they can build a hundred helicopters? I'm guessing there's a chance that Garekki dude is still alive. |
 |
| This was the weirdest episode yet. Not just because of the weird shit but also cos the pacing was also all over the place. This was probably the first episode where Kenshiro used a proper weapon: a nunchuck. I heard that Hokuto no Ken author Buronson once went to look at the anime production and was baffled to see that one of the filler episodes had railguns as a martial art technique. Is this that episode? Cause it seems like it is. I can't see how it could get more ridiculous than this. |
