| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So it was Jagi that pushed Shin over the edge. I always thought Shin was never truly evil and you can tell that Jagi was far weaker than him. From this point on I predict a Dragonball-style of consecutive epic fights against stronger and stronger opponents who practice Hokuto Shin-ken or Nanto Sei-ken ^_^ |
 |
| Such a douche. Man, the potential Jagi could have had if he had trained to fight honestly and really learned both North and South Star style. Oh well, that was one epic finish. |
| That was an awesome episode. I really liked when Jagi grabbed the shotgun and pointed it at his own face. This episode really highlights how dark and depraved our hero Kenshiro really is. He tortured Jagi just to make him feel extreme pain before he executed him.  |

Sure he was evil; look at the suffering he inflicted because of his ego. Rather, he actually had some complexity, which leaves him little company in this series. brucescrews said: This episode really highlights how dark and depraved our hero Kenshiro really is. He tortured Jagi just to make him feel extreme pain before he executed him. He's been that way since the beginning of the series. His "you will die in X seconds" thing is very, very cruel, especially since he frequently demonstrates the power to kill relatively quickly. |
| As expected he wasn't much of a challenge. He couldn't even compare to Ken when they were training so why would he be any better now? He was just a fool that couldn't see that he had no chance at winning. So the other brothers are evil too? Why are all his brothers bad? Or do they just feel they were wronged and they should have been the successors. |
| I feel like Shin got killed off too soon :( He was a pretty interesting bad guy since he wasn't 100% evil like the others. |
 |
| Jagi you moron, yeah just keep talking and pissing Ken off. Epic death deserved |
 |
| So Jagi learned Nanto Sei Ken from Shin then? Anyway, nice flashbacks and revealings in this episode and Jagi got what he deserved for being such an asshole. Although Jagi got defeated a bit too quickly for my taste after only 3 episodes in total. Ken has to face his two other brothers as well now it seems... |
 |
| Uhh... where is "this is for Rei and Airi" part? Well I guess they're not important enough The question is why did Ken think they're dead? Maybe they're evil too, so Ken killed them? |
"Signature removed"   |
| Great episode. So epic |
| Awesome fight, Jagi is now defeated. So yes that was him who has changed Shin and pushed him to kidnap Yuria... There are two brothers left, next one is apparently Toki. |
 |
| Jagi is worse than scum, causing Kenshiro's greatest sadness by turning his friend, Shin, against him and making Shin take Yulia, glad that he died in such a manner if only Ken would have done that earlier... I wonder who the two other brothers are |
 |
| Incredible. Jagi is revealed to be the big cause for all of Ken's misfortunes. I'm still unclear on how the whole successor thing works. Is what Jagi said true, that the ones who fail get killed off or erased? If so, is it just because the master got killed that they're still alive right now? And how many brothers are there left, because at first I thought there were 4 Hokuto brothers (Ken included) and Shin. But one of the brothers in Jagi's flashback looked like Shin. But I guess it must just be someone that looks like him, because apparently there's still 2 brothers remaining. |
 |
| Been a while since I watched the last episode of Hokuto no Ken. But I still remembered what happened. That's the kind of anime Hokuto no Ken is. The first half was basically another flashback. So glad we got it tho. It answered a lot of my questions about Hokuto Shinken. Like why there are so many students if there can be only one successor and what happens to the other students once a successor is selected. It seems Hokuto Shinken has only one successor because it's too dangerous for it to fall under the hands of more than one person. And that one person needs to be trustworthy and not someone like Jagi. It makes sense that other students can't use Hokuto Shinken anymore or they get their memories erased after they're disqualified. Jagi's fight with Kenshiro was just as good as I had hoped. It was intense. But the big twist was that Jagi was the one who manipulated Shin and pulled him towards the dark side. That's a shame. Seems like Shin used to be a good person before he turned evil. The next arc will start from the next episode. And the next brother Kenshiro will face is Toki. That's a bit different than Lost Paradise. Wonder what'll happen. |
