THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
When I first saw the rowing boat Kenshiro was going to board, I thought "How's he gonna move that thing? Will power? Facing backwards and firing off a kamehameha?"

Few seconds later I realised the foolishness of my question. The current flows wherever Ken wants to go. Obviously.

Is it me or is Kaioh's back story basically a carbon copy of what happened to Souther? Hating love and all that business...also these flashbacks of Raoh, Toki and Kenshiro in Shura don't really add up to the flashbacks in the first season anymore. I recall Raoh and Toki's 'parents' dying and them being taking on by Ryuuken but Kenshiro was nowhere to be seen when he surely should've been with them already?

Such a ridiculous and unimaginative backstory... are we supposed to feel sorry for him now? Well sorry but its not going to happen, hell even if his backstory was good it wasn't going to happen... and that pressure point? Please this has gotten so ridiculous its not even funny... not to mention that this whole ai vs aku motif has stopped being original ever since writing was invented...

Thank you. When I was watching this last night, I thought to myself that if there wasn't a discussion topic on this episode, I was going to make it for this, but I couldn't remember the reason, today. Thanks for reminding me. A conveniently placed rowboat with no paddles for Kenny to use. All he has to do is stand in the middle of it and it takes him to where he wants to go. There's no way he can sit down in it, because he has to be ready for battle.

This entire second series has been a complete joke.

It was all for EEVIL! Eeeeeeviiiillll!!

Then he really makes Kenny mad by making his former-loli ladyfriend sleep, but with a tweest.

But can Raohni kill a first-level commoner? If so, congratulations! He's on-par with a cat!

And at the end of the river Kenshiro sails by lava in a wooden boat? What is lava doing there, anyway?

That Shikanhaku pressure point would be pretty handy. Need to try it on my sister. Oh, and can't Kenshiro just press that pressure point again, in the case Lynn sees wrong person?
Btw, there was similar idea in LEXX series.

Don't forget small Toki having white/grey hair here and also the blond sister seem to have been mysteriously missing threw this whole flash back.

But hey Kaioh isn't all bad as we thought. He at least tried to give Lynn amnesia so she would stop shouting Ken for the 9985674456 time.

Is not lava. It is hot water probably red because there is steam and lave under it.

There's only person Lin shall see,Bat.

And dunno why so many people shit on the backround story,not much worse than other stuff we got to see.

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

You better not flex your muscles too hard and destroy that symbol of peace, Kenshiro. You know, like you do with all your other clothing.

Poor Lynn, she is innocent she did nothing to deserve that, I hope she will see Batt.
And I hope Kenshiro will destroy Kaio too.

Some more backstory on Kaioh and Raoh which really feels similiar to Southers backstory
