It depicts Raoh's feelings and conflicts, which were not mentioned much in the original work, allowing us to understand Raoh's humanity more deeply. In particular, there is a moving scene in which Raoh's weakness and strength intersect, in which Raoh is frightened by Kenshiro's sad eyes and challenges Fudo on the mountain to a duel in order to erase the fear that has arisen within him. Additionally, Yuria's presence is depicted as an important element of the story, and one of the highlights is how her fate will affect the battle between Raoh and Kenshiro.

In particular, the scene in which Kenshiro uses the ultimate Hokuto Shinken technique, "Muso Tensei," is powerful and draws the viewer in. Additionally, Kajiura Yuki's music effectively brings out Raoh's inner conflict and the tension of the battle, enhancing the atmosphere of the story as a whole. The theme song, "Lonely Stars," also leaves an impression with the powerful voice of B'z, and is a perfect fit for the theme of the film. Cast and actingThe acting of the cast is also superb, especially the voice of Takashi Ukaji as Raoh, who realistically expresses Raoh's dignity and inner conflict. Abe Hiroshi as Kenshiro also embodies the image of Kenshiro from the original work, and Ishida Yuriko as Yuria also plays her kindness and strength well. Takeda Masanori as Girak also shines with his performance that conveys the cold-heartedness of the chief adviser of Raoh's army.
