you set off on a journey
And lost sight of tomorrow
I never want to see that your face has forgotten how to smile

Alcor, the star that shines besides the Big Dipper.
Also known as the Death Omen Star.
It is said that those who can see this star...
will die within the year.
What destiny awaits Toki, Mamiya and Rei...
who have all seen it?
We've got trouble!
Ken-Oh, burning with ambition to rule the century's end,
has already set his dark agents in motion.
THOSE WHO FEAR THE REAPER!
LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF LIN'S FIERY SOUL!
Spare my son!
Daddy!
You want me to spare him, huh?
Please, leave him alone! I beg you!
Sure, I wouldn't mind.
In exchange, you have to do what we say.
I understand.
Daddy!
Damn it...
Gather more of them!
Kill all that oppose us!
Gather everybody here!
Understand?
They're here.
Airi-san...
Hey! Is somebody in there?
Come this way.
They've set fire to the village.
It's not safe here. Hurry.
Damn! Nobody's here.
Thank you, old man.
That was a close one, ladies.
Now, let's hurry up and run.
Follow us.
But, old man...
A man has to protect his women and children,
even if he's gotten old.
We might not have many years left, but we can still help.
Come on, follow us.
Hey! Where are you going?
What are you planning to do with those women, old geezer?
Nice woman you got here.
Airi-san!
You animals! Stop that!
Ow!
You old geezer!
- Old man! - Old man!
Run now, while you can!
But...
Leave this to us! Hurry!
Hey, geezer!
Go, quickly!
- Lin-chan! - But...
Hurry! Hurry!
Old man...
I'm sorry!
Forget the old geezer. Get the women. Hurry up and get them!
Oh, right.
Thank you, old man. I'm sorry!
Ken... Ken...
Have to tell Ken...
Tell Ken... quickly...
Well? Did you find a car?
I'm fine. Let's hurry on ahead.
I've got a bad feeling.
What's that?
Hey, lady. Want to go for a ride with us?
We'll be more fun than that guy!
Are you Ken-Oh's men?
What? How dare you use Ken-Oh-sama's name so rudely!
We're Ken-Oh's mobile bike squadron!
I see.
What? You want to take this many of us on?
Toki-san!
Toki?
I know I've heard that name somewhere...
Toki!
The sick guy is Toki...
And there's one woman, too...
Which means you must be...
Kenshiro!
Get them! If we can even get that nearly-dead guy, Toki...
we'll be famous!
So Ken-Oh's Assault Squadron has already made it here.
These are...
These are a horse's hoofprints.
But they're as big as an elephant's!
How can that be?
Only one man in this world could ride a horse like that.
Ken-Oh.
I hope nothing's happened to Airi and Lin.
What's that?
Ken... have to see Ken...
Bat!
Rei!
What happened?
The village...
What happened to the village?
Ken-Oh's Assault Squadron...
What?
Hurry... Lin and Airi-san...
Airi!
Listen up, all of you!
Starting today, this village is under Ken-Oh-sama's rule!
Henceforth, you must all work as his loyal servants!
We will have each of you pledge allegiance to him!
Wh... what's that?
You must brand your own bodies with that seal.
That will be proof of your loyalty.
Come forth, one at a time!
Stop it! I don't want to do this!
No way! I don't want to pledge loyalty to him!
I'd rather die!
Is that so?
Then it's the burning dance of death for you.
Come here!
Let me go! Let me go!
Hey, is it ready?
Yeah, all ready.
I see.
Come on, dance!
Hey, where are you going?
It's hot!
I'll do it! I'll pledge my loyalty to Ken-Oh-sama!
Let him down!
How horrible...
All of you...
I won't force any of you.
You must swear loyalty of your own free will.
Now then, shall we continue?
This is Hell...
Why won't God grant freedom to the weak?
No! Help me!
No, I can't take it anymore!
Airi-san!
They'll find us soon!
I'll go back to living in captivity!
That won't happen!
We'll have to lose our hearts and live as dolls!
The only way we can live now is by obeying the powerful...
No, Airi-san! You can't say that!
We can't give up hope!
I'm still little and can't do anything.
But I have hope!
Lin-chan!
I'm sure Ken or Rei will save us.
So let's have faith that they'll come back for us!
Then we can be happy again someday!
I always believe that! That's why...
you can't give up!
Come on, Airi-san!
Lin-chan!
I said way too much.
Thank you, Lin-chan.
I'm the one who is supposed to stay strong, but Lin-chan...
you're the one who taught me something.
Someone's there!
Over there!
Airi-san, don't come out!
So this is where you were.
I have to save Airi-san!
You brat!
Now then. Come along with Uncle!
Lin-chan! Such a brave girl!
Is that it?
There's still one runt left.
Lin!
Even children must swear loyalty to Ken-Oh-sama.
Brand yourself with his crest.
Wait! The girl will die if you do that!
Shut up, geezer!
Elder!
If you don't want to, maybe we'll have you dance on that...
until you're burned to a crisp.
The choice is yours.
So, what will it be?
I won't do it!
I'll never obey devils like you who prey on the weak!
What?
You've got guts, you little brat!
I will not obey a demon.
She's going herself!
If I obey a demon, no matter the reason...
I'll stop being human.
Yes... yes... That's what Ken taught me.
What a courageous girl!
She's chosen to die rather than live as a prisoner!
Want a hand, little lady?
No need to be afraid!
Hey, who are you?
Rei!
What's with you, huh?
You're a demon in human guise!
What are you...
That's the South Star Waterfowl Fist!
Rei!
Lin! Hang in there!
Lin!
It's alright... Airi-san is fine.
Lin, you...
Oh, my!
Now that I feel safe, I'm crying.
What's wrong with me?
She sacrificed herself to protect Airi,
even though she's still a little child...
And look what's happened to her...
Hey! Who the hell are you?
Hey, say something!
You demons!
You'll pay!
You bastards...
You bastards!
What color is your blood?
Lin's tears send Rei flying into battle!
Behold the true South Star Waterfowl Fist!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
VOICES FROM HELL!
REI, DID YOU SEE THE DEATH OMEN STAR?
Voices from Hell!
Rei, Did You See the Death Omen Star?
I will protect The code of the North Star.
