Wonderful episode. Lynne and Ken together again, and the first apparition of Shin, when he kill the 2 mans with the hands is just LOL haha

Love this series, thought animation are not the best, the story, characters, etc are wonderful.

Wait, I don't get it. Why were those two sneaking around, looking for Lin? Why would Ken not just simply walk around looking for her while pummeling everyone's face in?

He probably didn't want to risk getting shot, though I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Ken could just grab bullets with his teeth or fingers or something.

I freaking love the countdown to death. So awesome.

I think his chest hair would be able to catch bullets.

His countdowns are never boring, I'm looking forward to all of the upcoming ones.

There are guns? Didn't see anyone having a gun until now.

I think he did it a sneaky way because even if his so powerfull there is still a lot of danger if he fights a large group. He may her stapped or shot by an arrow in the back while fighting and avoiding other guys. For all we know they may have like 500 men there, fighting them all at the same time isn't an easy task.

Btw his biggest ability must be how he gets his clothes torn every episode and yet he has them back again later? How many shirts does he have and where does he keep them?

Ken is secretly rich. That's why he has so many shirts.

This series just keeps better and better. Such excellent development in all aspects of the story...Im wondering if Lin has some unknown connection to Kenshiro somehow, she kind of resembles Yuria :p Im definitely going to keep watching this!!!

Damn! Ken doesn't believe in giving people a quick death does he?

Ah! Sometimes its nice to watch an over-powerd badass hero at work! Watching average-powered protagonist struggle to to get stronger by facing tough enemies is cool at all, but there doesn't seem to be that many protagonists that generally wipe the floor with their opponents with the newer anime.
Love and Peace!!!

Yeah, this is definitely a GAR show. Looks like we will eventually get an opponent who can go toe to toe with Ken.

While I'm loving how 80's this show is, I keep getting distracted by how selective it is about showing blood. Most of the time it's some glowing fluid, but then in the fights Ken was in he was bleeding real red blood. I get it's technically a kids show but either censor it all or censor none of it, the middle ground feels a bit psychotic.

Or for all I know it'll be explained as some people were so radiated their blood started glowing, and while I'm no scientist, I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.

Still a good show though.

This show is kinda addicting and I love the noises,but there were some scenes which the manga did better imo.

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

So the true enemy, King, makes his appearance

I wonder if king also has the same power as Kenshiro if he has already beaten him once

This show is a huge block of cheesy, testosterone-filled goodness. And moving at great pace. Only 3 episodes in and 3 of the 4 mini-bosses are already gone! But if there are Jacks and a King, maybe there's an Ace as well? Great show.

Ayo. It's the meme frame. "You are already dead." Tbh I didn't think this line would actually be so prevalent in the anime. They even say it in every preview. I thought it was said only in one or two episodes. But it's said in almost every episode which makes it even better.

They saved Lin. Is she now going to be a party member for Ken's group? Taking a kid everywhere you go seems dangerous so I think she'll be left in a village.

Shin seems like a menacing foe.
