** It gets better: Raoh explicitly told Fudou that this was a ''tune-up'' fight, a way to overcome the fear that he had felt against Kenshiro, and told his troops to shoot him were he to step over a line behind him... And it's Fudou simply pointing out the children, with stones in their hands, sadness yet resolve in the children's eyes -- the very same in Kenshiro's eyes -- that frightens Raou enough to step over the line, his attempted comeback completely backfiring.
