The year 199X.
The earth was engulfed in nuclear flames.
The oceans have dried out and the earth's surface have split.
It seemed as though all forms of life were annihilated.
However, humanity struggled to survive.
The people waited for a savior
who could bring light back to the desolate century's end.
THE NORTH STAR'S 2000 YEARS OF TRAGEDY!
I CAN HEAR KEN-OH'S FOOTSTEPS!
Pel! Oh, it's you!
You scared me, Bat!
Sorry!
I saw you watering the plants all spaced out...
and couldn't help it!
I was thinking.
About Ken again?
I was thinking about when we first met.
Yeah, I remember.
I think Zeed had taken you captive then.
Stop resisting or I'll snap this girl's neck!
Got it? Bring me all the food you have!
Ken!
Stay back!
She spoke. Lin spoke!
Who is that guy?
Let go of the girl, now!
Was it you who killed my men?
I'll rip this girl in two!
North Star Hundred Crack Fist!
I never knew that a man that strong had existed in this world!
That's when you, Ken, and I,
the three of us started our journey.
Ken was looking for his fianc茅, Yuria-san
and Shin, the guy who took her away from him.
Yeah. Shin used the South Star Sacred Fist.
We came really close to getting killed a few times.
But, finally...
Kenshiro!
Shin! I will kill you!
Die!
North Star Cross Slash!
Why...
What defeated your secret technique was... rage.
Rage far beyond obsession.
Yeah, Ken won! But...
Are you going to repeat the same thing?
Even more horrific than before?
As long as my feelings towards you don't change,
you'll keep repeating this, won't you?
Countless innocent people will die...
I can no longer bear it...
Yuria? What are you...
Ken, I couldn't keep my promise with you...
I couldn't bear to see Ken after that.
But Yuria-san still lives inside Ken's heart.
Yeah. That's right.
And then we met Mamiya-san,
who was the female leader of her village...
And one more. A man of mystery, Rei.
When I first met him, I was really scared.
You fooled us, damn it!
Who the hell are you?
Me? My name is Rei.
Rei, of the South Star Waterfowl Fist!
And Rei had a sad past too.
Yeah.
My little sister Airi...
She was supposed to wear this for her wedding.
It was on the night before her wedding...
With his last breath,
my father told me it was a man with seven scars...
Airi may already be dead, but I refuse to believe it!
I can see her crying face!
I can still hear her calling me!
Airi-san was captured by the Fang Clan,
bandits who had been after Mamiya-san's village.
But thanks to Ken...
It doesn't hurt? What's going on?
Your body is already beginning to die.
You'll die completely on the count of five.
Say your prayers!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Mountain Fissuring Wave!
Can you really heal her?
The Fang Clan had fallen and Airi-san had been saved but...
You're right! It was amazing!
That's...
Ken, even if you said you were the one that took Airi away...
I wouldn't believe it.
I know it wasn't you.
Hey, Mamiya-san!
Why are you wearing a dress for?
Shut up!
Normally, the story ends happily ever after... but...
You mean the phony guy with
seven scars that kidnapped Airi-san?
Right! That's when the Divine Fist of the North Star's
new tragedy began!
But Ken's coming back for sure!
I've got to get the buggy fixed before that.
See ya!
All of you! Say my name!
What's the matter? Say my name!
He used Ken's name and even gave himself seven scars.
He continued to bring suffering to innocent people.
- No! - Run!
Jagi, huh?
He sure was messed up.
Then you took my name, and victimized so many people,
all for the sole purpose of luring me out?
The lives of those maggots are worth nothing
compared to the pain I've suffered from this wound!
See for yourself...
Every time I felt the pain...
I've lived with growing hatred towards you.
And, finally...
For all I've lost because of you. It's my...
My...
My rage!
This ugly death is what suits you best.
In seconds, you will vanish from this land.
It's over.
Over? Don't make me laugh!
Your hell has only just begun!
Don't forget that you still have two more brothers!
I can see your hell now!
Jagi died, but Ken has two more brothers.
What?
Toki! Brother, wait!
Brother!
Stay back! Stay back or I'll kill her!
Try it. You'll be dead the moment you do.
Don't talk big with me!
Ken, I've found out where Toki is.
Toki's being held in a place called Cassandra.
Cassandra?
We found out where Toki was, thanks to Mamiya-san, but...
The Cassandra Prison!
A fearsome jail, where Ken-Oh imprisoned many warriors
and martial artists who survived the nuclear war
in order to increase his power.
It is said that the weeping and wails of those suffering...
sound like devils crying.
Ken-Oh, the terrifying ruler of the end of the century.
I wonder what he's like?
Ken-Oh... And Toki.
Kenshiro, Rei and Mamiya headed to Cassandra...
to save Toki, who was imprisoned there.
But Cassandra was legendary.
It had survived numerous attacks
and the legend has it that the prison is indestructible.
The strongest warriors of Cassandra, Raiga...
and Fuuga.
Open the way or you'll die!
Those who seek to open this gate
must die!
Impossible! Our art!
How could it have been broken?
It's over.
What?
It can't be.
More sadness than hostility.
How could he have read our minds in a moment's battle?
Perhaps we were waiting for this man.
He's the savior we've been waiting for.
To break Cassandra's legend!
And to bring light and life to all once again!
Keep the gate open! It shall never be closed again!
North Star Hundred Crack Fist!
Well done, Kenshiro.
But this is only the entrance to hell.
This is for good luck.
I did it, I did it!
I'm a genius!
Ken!
Are we saved?
This isn't a dream, right?
We have light again!
The sun, the land, it's all free!
We've been saved from despair!
Cassandra's impenetrable legend has fallen.
We don't have to follow Ken-Oh anymore.
Let's fight alongside that savior!
Yeah!
What?
So the devil's cry has changed to a shout of joy.
But it'll soon change to a howl of terror.
Ken-Oh's Royal Guard!
The legend of Cassandra has fallen!
But the ruler of the century's end,
Ken-Oh, has already extended his power!
Kenshiro and Toki...
What destiny awaits for these great stars?
And who exactly is Ken-Oh?
Just when will the long 2,000 year battle of destiny end...
for the Divine Fist of the North Star?
Evil agents close in on Kenshiro,
who had penetrated the prison of hell to save Toki.
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
CENTURY'S END WITH NO TOMORROW!
KEN, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!
Century's End with No Tomorrow! Ken, I've Been Waiting For You!
Toki, we must meet.
