----------------------------------------
The episode name screen (isn't there some fancy showbiz-term for that?) made me laugh.

This episode included! You cheap bastards! :D

The whole backstory of the first successors of Hokuto wasn't really special. One thing that I didn't really get: was it the elders or the infant that made the wolves explode? If it was the baby I think breast-feeding would be quite the thrill.

Also, with 2 episodes left Kaioh hasn't cried yet. Every single one of the main characters has cried so far and I'll eat my metaphorical hat if Kaioh isn't going to as well.

He will definitely cry just before he dies.

Bart better get there so Lynn can see his ass and start sucking his cock. The guy grew up protecting her, he better get some after getting a body full of wounds.

I thought this episode was cool, but I also wish there weren't so many contradictions with the first series.

Hmmm this backstory is stupid but was actually really interesting.
Only 2 episodes left, I wonder what will happen.

Just realized this but couldn't Raoh have used that technique to make Yulia fall in love with him or did I miss something?

That backstory of the ancestors was the most ridiculous and really came out of nowhere

ok, the show is actually finally starting to get good now in it's last inning (maybe) either way this was a great episode that I kind of would just recommend people to begin thw show from. (so much of this was just filler and terribly written trash) This episode was nice as it goes into the lore and background of the martial art (North Star technique) in a somewhat satisfying lore-based way.

Stands out from the rest, at least to me it did. Nothing was this worthwhile or memorable since Uncle Pirate Pete since way-back-when
