LOVE: I REJECT!
LOVE: I REJECT! FOR I BEAR THE CURSED STAR OF DEATH!
Tell us, Ken.
What kind of man is Toki, whom you want to meet so desperately?
Originally, Toki was to be the successor...
of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
- What? - Huh?
The accuracy, the flow, and the speed of his techniques.
His mind, skills, and his body, all flawless.
Even Jagi acknowledged it.
But, on that day...
Hurry, into the shelter!
Kenshiro, Yuria, this way!
- Hurry! - Hurry!
Help! My children are still out there!
- Yuria, look after her. - Right.
Come on.
- There are more further in. - I'll go!
Toki!
Where's Toki?
He went to save some children left behind.
Toki!
The ash of death is approaching!
Toki...
What's wrong? The ash of death will be here soon!
- But the shelter door! - What?
The door has broken down. It's impossible to move it.
We need a strong force from the outside to close it.
What?
Toki! Brother, wait!
Big brother!
Ken!
Don't open it!
If you open it now, the ash of death will...
Toki...
Then, two weeks later...
Big brother!
Toki!
Hi there.
Big brother!
Toki!
He did it for me and Yuria.
And so, he gave up the path of succession.
Kenshiro.
From now, I will live to save the lives of others.
I'll eventually die as well.
I wonder how many lives I can save before then?
The lives that I save will be the proof that I lived.
Well, I want to meet him too.
He's such a kind person.
But we still don't know where he is.
Maybe this Ken-Oh guy caught him?
Ken, find Toki-san! You have to save him!
She's a brave chick alright.
Hey there.
Hey, baby. Got any food?
If you don't, I'll take you instead?
Hey, wait, baby!
- Hey! - You!
Remove your headgear.
Some food.
I came here because I heard you knew of Toki's whereabouts.
I do. Let me read your fortune first.
I didn't come here to ask what my fortune will be.
I know. But you'll be my last customer.
Last customer?
Yes, I will die today. That's my fate according to the stars.
Foul stars are drawing in around you!
The destiny awaiting you is death!
What?
But whether you follow, or go against your fate...
Either way, it's your destiny
set by stars and it's absolutely unavoidable.
Old stars perish, and new ones are born.
You must carve out your destiny with your own hands.
Toki-sama was taken away from the Village of Miracles.
He's being held in Cassandra.
Cassandra?
The town where the devils cry.
Now, go! The demons are already close.
Come on, through here.
But what about you?
I will follow my own destiny.
Why?
I'm a survivor from the Village of Miracles.
I've been waiting for a time when I could help Toki-sama.
Now, go.
Old lady...
I'm closed for the day. Go home.
Where's the woman, old bag?
Hiding her wouldn't be a good idea.
Well, I'm a woman myself! I'm just a bit on the old side.
You old bag...
The woman is on the run! Find her!
Capture her!
Carve out your destiny with your own hands!
What are they thinking of in times like this?
Two young people were just here, talking about having a wedding.
A wedding?
Ken...
Rei, where are you taking me?
You'll see when we get there.
Mamiya left the village to find Toki.
She did?
For you.
But she's not the kind of woman who acts emotionally.
She's going to meet up with us in this town.
If she's safe, she should be waiting there.
She's a passionate woman.
I wish you happiness...
Hey, is this her?
Yeah, that's her.
She was asking around for where Toki was!
You want something from me?
You see, whoever asks about Toki or goes looking for him...
We're under orders to kill them.
I see.
Whoa, now.
I'll break your bones. Now, who sent you?
How much longer will you be able to bear?
Does that hurt?
Yeah, do it! Break it off!
Twist it a little more, and it'll snap.
Go for it! All the way!
- All the way! - All the way!
What the...
- Who the hell are they? - Get them!
Ken!
What an unfortunate bunch, showing up at our meeting spot.
It can't be... are you Kenshiro?
That's right.
What? What'd you say?
Don't come closer! Stay back or I'll kill her!
Try it. You'll be dead as well in the next instant.
Don't give me that bull!
Ken, I've found out where Toki is.
Toki's being held in a place called Cassandra.
Cassandra?
All right, my job is done. Go ahead and kill me!
What?
That's all I needed to tell him.
Aw, man!
Stay back!
Hey!
Stay back!
Don't kill me!
I won't. I'll put you to sleep for a few hours.
When you wake up, tell your boss I'm coming to meet him.
You idiot! There's no way you can beat the warden!
Tell him this, too...
There's no one in this world stronger than me.
Ken...
Now go home!
Ken... why?
This is my business.
As long as Yuria is in his heart...
no one can open him up.
I know that.
I just want to ease the burden of his destiny,
and his suffering as much as I can.
You want to die?
Here's to a love which can never be realized.
I'm alive! I'm alive!
You bastards!
I can hear the demons crying.
Warden! Warden Uighur!
Kenshiro's appeared! He's heading this way!
My men, they're all...
Warden!
Why did you run?
But I came all this way to report...
Save me...
I can't hear you.
Bring it on, Kenshiro.
Listen to Cassandra's demons weep.
Let their cries be the requiem to your funeral.
A bearer of a sad destiny, Bella the female warrior,
challenges Kenshiro! Who has sent Bella?
CRIMSON ORCHID MOUNTAIN FIST!
A BIRTH OF A TRAGIC WOMAN!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
Crimson Orchid Mountain Fist!
A Birth of a Tragic Woman!
Toki, we must meet!
