And lost sight of tomorrow

To save Toki from his captors,
Kenshiro went to Cassandra, the city where the devils cry.
There he defeated Warden Uighur and his Taishan Twin Streak Whip
and puts an end to the legend of indestructible Cassandra.
We have light again!
The sun, the land, we're all free!
We've been saved from despair!
We've acquired an incredible savior.
Our dark, humiliating past has come to an end.
Mitsu, rest in peace.
Mitsu...
This man, Toki, being held in Cassandra.
And his meeting with you, Ken, was what the warden feared most.
Just what is happening to this era?
I want to witness it for myself.
Raiga, Fuga...
Will you escort me to Toki's cell?
CENTURY'S END WITH NO TOMORROW!
KEN, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!
Cassandra's infallible legend has been broken.
We no longer have to follow Ken-Oh's orders.
Let's fight alongside that savior!
Yeah...
What th...
So the devil's cry has changed to a shout of joy.
But it will soon change to howl of terror.
Ken-Oh's Royal Guards!
Ken-Oh?
- It's no use... - Ken-Oh has made his move...
Even if Cassandra falls, as long as Ken-Oh is in control, we are still...
Why?
Who is this Ken-Oh?
Ken-Oh is a fearsome conqueror,
who calls himself the ruler of the century's end.
No one knows who he really is.
Cassandra was a prison town
built to lock up and execute those who defied him.
Uighur was just the caretaker here.
If the Royal Guards are here, it means Ken-Oh's now serious.
What?
Ken...
So you're Kenshiro?
Drop this damn savior act.
Drop it now and Ken-Oh-sama will be lenient with you.
Surrender at once. You don't stand a chance!
Prisoners, go back to your cells!
Soldiers, take up your weapons!
Crush this phony savior!
You all vowed that you won't take Ken-Oh's orders anymore...
Stop. I don't want to fight you.
Ken-Oh is a terrifying ruler. There's no defying him!
Nothing against you, but if we don't, we'll be killed.
Stop! Do you want to repeat your nightmares all over again?
But...
Now is the time to have courage and break the chains of despair!
What's wrong? Do it! Do you want to die?
Raiga, Fuga! Are you going against Ken-Oh-sama's orders?
We won't submit to you any longer!
We're with the savior!
Have you forgotten the terror
of Ken-Oh-sama, the ruler of the end of the century?
You still have the chance for Ken-Oh-sama to forgive you.
Please, stop! It's over. It's a pity, but...
Chained, cowering in terror... Yet you call yourselves human?
When a person yields to a devil, they cease to be human.
Do you seek to continue this vicious cycle?
People fight for themselves!
You demons! Bring it on!
You want to die that badly? Get him!
- Mamiya, they're pretty tough. - Got it.
Die!
You guys...
We'll join the fight.
Traitor!
Not at all, I'm fighting for myself!
If it comes to this...
- Not good. - They'll close off the cells!
Ken, Toki's in danger!
Got it.
Leave this to us!
We'll be fine now. Get going!
I'm counting on you.
I'll give you another chance. Submit to us!
- Get out of the way! - We must open the cells!
We're under strict orders from Ken-Oh-sama...
not to let you meet Toki.
It's Ken-Oh-sama's order!
What moves us...
are the lives lost to Cassandra!
Ridiculous. Raiga and Fuga, the warriors of Cassandra?
In that case...
Fools. I don't care what you are, there's no way you can defy him.
- You don't mean... - You won't...
Raiga, Fuga, it's been a long time.
- Sohjin-sensei! - Sohjin-sensei!
That's right. It's your martial arts teacher, Sohjin-sama!
Our Wind Thunder Fist Clan swore loyalty to Ken-Oh-sama.
Raiga, Fuga, abandon your foolish thoughts.
I cannot, even by your orders.
We have put our faith with the savior.
That is your response? Defiance of the clan's law?
In that case, I shall defeat this so-called savior.
Sohjin-sama should have no trouble with Kenshiro.
You dared to defy us.
I'll punish you for that.
This world has no savior!
I'll make you realize that.
Bet it hurts, doesn't it?
Everyone yields to power.
Now say, "I was wrong, sir!"
Swear yourselves to Ken-Oh-sama again!
Do that and I'll make the hurting stop!
Fear and violence... That's their method!
But now that we've joined that man, we won't give in!
Stubborn bastards...
What is it that changed them this much?
That's all you've got? Ken-Oh's dogs!
Come on, strike me!
- Alright. - Let's go.
Monsters...
We must get to Toki first!
Yeah...
This will be your grave!
Coward. Come out!
Divine Fist of the North Star, South Star Waterfowl Fist...
I've seen them now.
My pupils' deaths will not be in vain. I will defeat you!
What?
Such a pity, to lose those techniques...
But this is all for Ken-Oh-sama.
- Wait! - Wait!
- Stop, Sohjin-sensei. - This fight is meaningless.
You dare to bear your fangs against me?
Ken, this is our inevitable fate. Please don't interfere.
Alright.
Sohjin-sensei, I don't want to fight with you, our master.
Pull back, please.
I taught you the Dual God Thunderstorm Fist.
I know all of its weaknesses. Attack at will!
So then, we must fight?
In order to overcome our hellish past.
Dual God Thunderstorm Fist!
Thunderstorm Ten Extremities Fist!
The source of Dual God Thunderstorm Fist...
A deadly art that quickly slices the enemy apart in mid-air!
Fuga, I don't think we'll get out of this alive.
I know, Raiga.
Incredible spiritual energy...
Where's all this energy coming from?
For what reason do they...
Master, what is it you fight for?
We've realized what we must do.
Master! One thing you've never taught us...
That is the courage of sacrifice!
Raiga, Fuga...
You have surpassed me.
Raiga! Fuga!
- We'll be fine. - Hurry, to Toki!
Raiga... Fuga...
Toki's cell is on the top floor.
We don't know what awaits you there. Be careful.
But you should be able to save Toki.
Right.
Stay back. Catch up to us later.
How'd you hit so accurately?
I've never seen a monster like you!
Clear the path.
No a chance! Ken-Oh-sama's orders are to not let you meet him!
I am Zarqa, of Ken-Oh's Royal Guards!
Have a taste of my Sheikh Executioner's Sword!
I'll slice you apart!
Your head will roll soon!
That's not pos...
You are no match for me.
You shall feel the pain of the people you've killed!
Caught it!
Your life ends here, too!
What's your plan?
Turning a blade upon me spells your own doom.
Get a load of my Sheikh Sword-Stealing Technique!
Then why don't you hurry and take the sword?
The devils are waiting for you in hell.
In that case,
I'll follow my orders, and kill Toki!
We were ordered to kill Toki as a last resort.
This man is ill...
and has been sitting like this for three months.
His legs are too weak and he can't even stand.
Go ahead. Try it.
Kill him.
You sure?
Hurry up and do it.
Fine, don't come crying to me later.
I'll kill him!
Stop, please!
I can't keep up this act!
Why, you!
Why couldn't you hold out any longer!
Now they know it was all a ploy to buy time!
Did you think I would fall for that?
You don't know the real Toki, or the Divine Fist of the North Star.
But it's too late now.
Another group has already taken him. Too bad, huh?
And now you have to face me!
I suppose so.
This always works on bastards like you.
Where's Toki?
Like hell I'll tell you...
My arm!
I struck your pressure point, "Zusetsu."
Your body will move without your will.
My finger's moving on its own...
Here?
I'm dead...
Ken-Oh-sama will kill me for telling you that!
Don't worry about that.
Why not?
You're already dead.
Yeah... right...
Hurry! Get Toki out while Kashim buys us time!
- Get up! - We're leaving Cassandra.
You're too late, though.
Kenshiro's almost here.
What?
The wall!
This is it. We'll have to kill Toki!
Ken-Oh-sama's orders are absolute! No one can defy them!
Kenshiro and Toki!
When these two stars meet, it's the beginning of a new legend!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
THE FALL OF CASSANDRA!
THE MYTH OF THE NORTH STAR IS REWRITTEN!
The Fall of Cassandra! The Myth of the North Star Is Rewritten!
Toki, we must meet.
