Hokuto no Ken 2 Episode 121, Ein’s Elegy! Better to Die with Courage than to Live without Honor! (アインの挽歌！誇りをすてて生きるより熱き死を！！)
Official synopsis
Kenshiro and
Falco , covered in wounds, are put in difficulty by a dirty trick from
Jakoh . While both are already bleeding, a massive spear thrown by Jakoh bears down on them.
Rin and her companions want to get out of the underground cavern as quickly as possible to tell them they no longer have any reason to fight.
Ein then drives an iron stake with his fist down to an underground water source, counting on the pressure to bring them back up. This blow, in which he stakes his life, accomplishes the miracle.
