Ep. 18: The Sulfur Spring of Tears Battle: The Last of J and the Yanks' Spirit
Aired on July 4, 1988

18
The Otokojuku group reaches the Temple of Hell's Treasure at Mt. Fuji, where eight combatants in white uniforms are shackled to giant steel balls. Guided by monks, they push the weights up the mountain while their fates are tracked by eight candles below. At four locations, one representative per team fights to the death. J and Raiden clash first at 1,000 degree sulfur springs. Raiden uses sharp blades in his shoes to gain an advantage, but J traps him and delivers a final Mach Punch. Both fighters perish in the springs, and their corresponding candles are extinguished.
