Ep. 9: Falco, the Brave General of the Source Star! There Lies the Shadow of Raoh...

As Kenshiro and the Hokuto Army approach the Imperial Capital, he learns about how Falco sacrificed his right leg to save his village when threatened by Ken-Oh and his army. Meanwhile, in the capital, Shoki is punished by Viceroy Jakoh for not destroying Kenshiro. When Jakoh also beats Falco for insubordination, Shoki attacks Jakoh, accusing him of misrepresenting the Celestial Empress. However Falco defends Jakoh, apparently killing Shoki. Falco then helps the wounded Shoki to escape the capital, but he is seen by Jakoh and his minions, Green Light Taiga and Blue Light Boltz who spears the wounded Shoki. Shoki later dies, but not before he tells Kenshiro that Jakoh is the real enemy. Kenshiro retrieves the spear and swears vengeance against Boltz.
