This anime seriously reminds me of Violence Jack... Kenshiro never is a man of little words.

This anime is good for it's time, and for as old as the animation looks, I love the characters, especially Lin, she's so cute. It's very epic in a weird sorta way, def gonna watch more...Urahara Out!!

I'm definitely getting a huge Mad Max vibe from this anime and some of the finishing moves are so brutal but they look a bit comical sometimes

It says a lot about the food situation when that guards first reaction to the mouse was that it looked "good to eat". I wonder if Lynn will meet up with Ken and Bart.

Ken is such a nice guy, I like how he blows up people's heads one second and saves people at the same time.

Why is Lynn so desperate to follow Kenshiro? The people of the village seem to be pretty nice to her, as the opening scene of this episode demonstrates. If they were mean to her (and Bart said they were though nothing we see seems to agree to this) it would make sense since she would be seeking out the only person who'd been kind to her since her family's murder. It would also make the setting even bleaker; even though the villagers wouldn't be murderers and thieves like the men Kenshiro killed, they'd still have hard, ungentle hearts. "Bleak" is what this series is going for, isn't it?

Old man :/

Again some differences between this and the source,the scene were Bat retrieved the seeds wasn't in the manga and Kens thumb technique wasn't 7 seconds,but 3.

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

Imagine eating the rice seeds instead of trying to grow them to get more rice lol.

I guess these bandits weren't the brightest bunch.

DAmn I loved how that boy stole rice from under their noses.

Also DAMN that 7 second countdown. Awesome.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

I agree. Deserts and crazy bandits. Making cars out of scrap. Even the "flashbacks to a previous lover".

This episode was pretty cool. Ken pulling off some badass moves. And another shirt bites the dust.

Ken is not just a badass but also a man with a big heart. Feels nice to see.

Meanwhile, Bat is surprisingly competent but has a scummy attitude. Hope he learns a thing or two from Ken.

Holy shit. That 7 second countdown was wild.

Looks like few reviews for this episode over a decade.. Possibly cuz not many people finished the first episode. Ken is actually pretty good at taking care of desert bullies, he doesn't pull any punches. He's got a keen mindset of eradicating evil, Lmao like a hero of justice for a world that's already at its birk of extinction. He should probably prioritize surviving himself.
Still def gon' watch more o' this sauce.
