| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A shame they didn't do more with the lady warrior like the previous episode promised. She could have been a cool, sympathetic long-running adversary had heir captors not used their trump card right away. And is it just me, or are battles not involving Ken more interesting? They just die too fast when he throws down. :P |
| Never forget, that if you post a topic, you're not allowed to post in it yourself, by order of MAL administration. |
| The little girl with her grandfather in this episode bears a very strong resemble to Minky Momo from the show of the same name which aired around a year before Fist of the North Star did. An animator's joke? Abut five years later in Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask's usual shtick is very reminiscent of Bella's entrance upon Ken and company. Aside from somewhat interesting connections to other shows before and after, I think this one was kind of a bore. A not very interesting one-shot story that only inches the main story forward. |

| ^^ Tuxedo Mask came to my mind as well but thanks for pointing Minky Momo out. It wouldn't have occurred to me =) |
 |
| Wow they sure killed bella off quick huh. |
 |
| Good catches there Fronzel, I definitely see it. |
| I thought it was very weird that Bella was simply killed of, but in the hokuto wikia it mentions this episode being a filler, so there's that. Good episode either way. |
| I dislike cuteness, moe, lolis, romance, romantic comedies, slice of life, ecchi, harem, waifus and fan-service. |
| Well that resulted in nothing...we move on. |
 |
| Bella had potential for more, and she was hot. The Sailor Moon resemblance is impressive, thanks to Fronzel for the pic comparison. |
 |
| Kinda wish the new girl didn't die as soon as she introduced, oh well I like when Kenshiro ripped his shirt His shirt is back for a few frames, then gone again xD "We've got a trouble" "Toki has smiled" Wow that's a big trouble indeed :P |
"Signature removed"   |
| Killed Bella off after just one episode,what a waste. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| bella's dad: fuck your life, carry on this useless martial art and stop being a woman... |
 |
| Toki in the jail, SMILE!!!! kekeke |
| Kenshirô vs Bella, that was fast, it's a pity that she got killed so fast. Toki feels that Ken is near. |
 |
| This series sure as hell doesn't love its strong female warriors, first Jennifer who died by canon fire, now bella who dies in a fight, and I think we got a prediction last episode that Mamiya probably won't make it, I hope she at least beats that prediction and survives |
 |
| Even if Belle somehow manage to kill Ken I highly doubt that she going to get what promised to her. More likely the villains would have killed her and her mother anyway since she out lived her usefulness. |

| One of the rare episodes that just feels a bit "meh". Even though it introduced 2 new fighting styles and had some Rei & Ken duo action, it feels like little progress was actually made. The ending does make me want to see more. Toki's smiling. Is this a rescue mission now? He looked pretty okay for a dude that was irradiated and probably stuck in prison for quite some time. |
 |
| Filler episode. I guess the radiation from the nuclear bombs gave the survivors permanent brain damage. Why did the guy go to Cassandra with his wife and baby? Unless they were already captured, that was a very stupid move. Poor Bella. Her mother wanted her to live as a woman but she only got killed shortly after her mother. Also, if her martial arts wasn't for murder, why did Uighur want it? Didn't seem like it would've been too useful for Ken-Oh. I guess they don't discriminate. That girl with pink hair looked a lot like Minky Momo lmao. Probably an intentional reference. |
