| So I wonder how in the hell did he know all these facts about Toki, like how he got his scar, to be able to impersonate him. |
| Wow, what a cop-out. Ken having to fight his goodhearted friend who had gone insane from the horrors of the post-apocalypse was a pretty good conflict...but not if Ken just decides to kill him so easily so I guess we weren't missing anything. Maybe the real deal will be better. But if Hokuto Shin Ken is such a secretive martial art, how did Amiba know anything about it, let alone enough that Ken couldn't tell he was a phony until he was told? Maybe we'll find out later, but shouldn't this be a mystery that hangs over the events here? I had to laugh when Amiba said that only violence can change the world because that's actually exactly how Ken's been getting things done the entire series. Exploding bodies is his one trick. This is why I was looking forward to him facing someone he didn't want to kill. |
| So did that guy blew his own hands? It seemed like that to me. It seems he was constantly making mistakes in trying to master the pressure points. I think he failed with the kid too and didn't actually deliberately pressed point that would kill it. So we have a new big bad boss with this Ke-on guy?

Is not as secretive as to knowledgeable people not know it's existence, it's just that is secretive to learn. Amiba probably learn some basic information like the fact that it uses pressure points and he tried to master it by experimentation. He was quite a genius because he learned so much of something no one taught him but Hokuto Shin Ken is such a detailed martial art that figuring everything out and training your body to it's usage is too hard without a proper master and guidelines. I think Ken was convinced it wasn't him but got a little confused by the existence of the scar etc. Is like someone you know that seems that to not be himself at all in aspects and makes you almost sure that it's not really him but suddenly you see some mark on his body you knew and you just get confused and can't comprehend because you were certain it wasn't really him but all visual evidence say otherwise. |

| Glad it was actually an impostor, makes more sense that way. |
 |
| lol Bart / Bat was funny |
| Bat had a shining moment there, if Ken saw it i think he'd actually laugh. A fake Toki....yeah he's already dead for that. |
 |
| omg Bart!! LMAO!!! xD |
 |
| Toki actually isn't Toki but Amiba, that came surprisingly but somehow I guessed something close to it. My first idea was that the other 4th brother was behind all of it, see few episodes back. A genuine helping guy like Toki to change that drastically into that monster had a lot of potential but at the same time to me it was simply implausible and too much, so the reveal is absolutely ok and makes sense, don't think it was disappointing at all. The Bart scene was his best scene so far, and I liked how that henchmen and Amiba recognized Rei, who didn't even need to help that much. And again we learn about a new possible main villain (Ken Oh) while the current one dies. Who is Ken Oh and where is the real Toki? |
 |
| "Omae wa mou shindeiru" Oh Bat, what we're going to do without you? xD Ken Oh.. Hmm I wonder who is he It's probably not someone with something -Oh as his name :P Oh it's not Toki, I'm more curious with how did people trust that face is Toki Also how did he color his hair white.. in apocalypse age? |

"Signature removed"   |
| So this guy wasn't Toki but Amiba, anyways he's dead now. |
 |
| Damn so this guy was just an imposter, hopefully the real Toki is still good |
 |
| To me it made more sense that it was not the real Toki. I found it hard to believe someone that kind could turn that evil over those events. Especially with the fact that Ken refused to believe it too. The real highlight of the episode had to be Batto though xD |
| Man, what a twist. Toki not being the real Toki. I’m glad because that settles the way I felt about Toki’s backstory not being very satisfying. It does raise some questions though. For starters, where did Amiba learn Hokuto Shinken? Did he just read a book about it? I thought Hokuto Shinken is only known by a select group of people, with all the secret techniques and memory-erasing that’s going on. At first, I thought he learned it from Toki, but seems like he was pressing power points before he even met him. Or did he just try it out after seeing him do it once or twice? If so, that doesn’t explain how he learned the lethal side of it as well. If he’s self-taught, then how did he become skilled enough to last against Ken? And how did he know Toki saved Ken’s life and that he has a scar on his back? Lots of questions, but loved the episode and the plot-twist. All I can say is Amiba must’ve really been a genius if he found all of that out and did all that training by himself, in such a short amount of time. Edit: Oh and I just remembered: he SENSED Ken behind the painting. |

| Tbh I like Kenshiro. He is kind-hearted for sure but he's not the type who'd forgive evildoers. Some of them don't deserve it. Even though it sometimes feels like he's way too violent and kills some people who don't need such punishment. But in this post-apocalyptic world with no justice system, it's preferrable compared to the alternative of just letting them live. Lmfao. It seems Bat mastered "Omae wa mou shindeiru" too. That was hilarious. Come to think of it, Ken didn't use that phrase in a while. Wait, so that Toki wasn't real after all?! What a twist. I really believe that he was Toki just like Kenshiro. But I'm glad he isn't. It makes more sense that Toki didn't just turn evil over such a reason like that. A true Hokuto Shinken follower should be much stronger than that. Cassandra? Ken-Oh? I think I remember these names from Lost Paradise. Can't wait! |
