      • Episode animations director: Masahiro Naoi Episode character designers: Minoru Tanaka, Hitoshi Inaba

      • TV Asahi (Japan) air date: November 28, 1987

      • Japanese title: 「シャカ! もっとも神に近い男」 - "Shaka! The man who is closest to god"

      • Shaka's Rikudo Rinne is based on the Buddhism, as well as Shaka himself (as the reincarnation of Buddha). Rikudo means: The Six Worlds in which the souls of the dead ones falls after the physical death. It resembles the Christianism's purgatory in some parts. They are: #1 - The Hell: An ocean of fire, spiky mountains. Those who fall in it will suffer for eternity. #2 - The Demon World: The bodies become skeletal, the stomachs inflate. You throws up all the time... until you begin to eat corpses! #3 - The Beast World: There's only one law here: the survival of the fittest. You'll become a beast and will need to kill and eat your predators and preys... forever! #4 - The Carnage World: Blood flows continuously on the ground. Death is a commonplace here, and battles never end. #5 - The Human World: Sorrow, happiness, rage... all feelings are mixed up with great unstability. There is no good or evil. This is the unstable world of human beings. #6 - The Heaven: It's said that it's possible to be happy here... however, a single wrong thought can make you fall on the Hell. (This description is based on Masami Kurumada's original manga.)
