Comment:
Alternate retelling of the TV series, with character and plot elements rearranged from the manga's first 75 chapters. Unlike the TV series, the film retains the manga's violence and gore.
An alternate ending was animated for the VHS release in Japan in 1988. Instead of Raoh preparing to kill an unconscious Kenshiro, the scene has both combatants still standing before Lin stops the fight. This scene, as well as some of the film's graphic death scenes, were not remastered for the 2008 Japan DVD release.
