Ken-Oh is fitted with a new uniform and orders his agent Zaku to delay Kenshiro. Zaku's forces catch up with Ken and his companions, but Fudo stays behind to delay them while Kenshiro continues south. Concerned at the delay, Zaku's right-hand man Hilka kidnaps two of Fudo's adopted children, Danji and Jiro. He throws them into a bottomless quicksand pit in an attempt to force Fudo to enter the quicksand himself to rescue them.
