Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Kyodai Ken kidnaps Kairi, star pupil of Yoru Sensei, the martial arts instructor who taught both Kyodai and Bruce. The ninja’s ransom for her is a scroll that teaches the location of the fabled Death Touch.
Our Take
This one leans hard on martial arts movie clichés, and the Japan-set backdrop only does so much to freshen them up. The Bruce and Kyodai rivalry has some real history behind it, but the pacing drags in the middle and the Death Touch stakes never feel that tense. Fine for completionists, though the fight choreography at least delivers a decent payoff.
