THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This strikes me as extremely nonsensical and also a little retarded. Why did the man who can walk on water erase Kenshiro's brother's memory in the first place? And he put the children on a boat the size of a nutshell to cross the ocean, knowing that they were going to be accepted as Hokuto's disciples? Why should Kenshiro be unable to defeat Hyo, just because he is his elder brother?
I call bullshit.

One the amusing side of this episode:
- A sniper with a crossbow in a chuch tower. And a gatling gun that apparently shoots knitting needles.
- Kaioh looks wicked.

By the way, I wonder if it's just me or if the animation is extraordinarily crappy in this episode and a few before it. Not that the show looked great to begin with... (except for one episode in the first series, can't remember which one. Everything looked different and it was awesome.)

I swear everyone Kenshiro meets ends up dying within 10 episodes...oh well Rock was nowhere near as cool as Ein. Kaioh just looks like an ethereal version of Raoh to me...

It was episode 49 which had the good animation: the first fight between Raoh and Kenshiro

This story line and the new characters are getting way too audacious. Pretty soon they'll probably reveal that Lin is Ken's mother, and Yuria probably actually still alive (again).

Guess everyone is related with everyone in this show xD

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

Here they go butchering the backstories even further, I don't understand why the old man had to erase Hyo's memory in the first place

It also sort of ruins what we knew of Raoh, if we look at the backstories he should have cared for Kenshiro but in the original series he didn't give a damn for him as human being

So Rock dies along with his squad, didn't really cared about him anyways so....

No disrespect to the mangaka but it appears like he's running out of ideas at this point...

It was funny when those goons hit the Osomatsu-kun "sheeh!" pose after seeing Kaiou though
