EXPLOSION OF SECRET TECHNIQUES!
BEYOND HATRED IS THE FATE FOR THE BROTHERS OF THE NORTH STAR:
Ken... Wait...
Brother!
Rei!
So you're finally awake.
What's this about?
I gave that man three days to live.
What?
Valiant warriors who defy me...
I don't kill such experts immediately.
If you kill too quickly, the fear will not spread.
But ones with three days to live,
will tremble in fear of death, grieve, and suffer to the end.
Soon that terror turns to legend.
And the name Ken-Oh carries all the more weight.
I've hit his secret pressure point, "Shinkesshu."
In three days, blood will erupt from all over his dying body.
In the meantime, he can taste the terror...
of death that looms closer by the second.
Don't, Ken.
Right now, you can't handle Raoh.
There's a reason you can't beat him.
Impressive, Rei of the South Star Waterfowl Fist.
- You saw through it did you? - What...
Understand, Kenshiro?
If that arrow hadn't pierced my leg...
I would have pierced your chest!
Someone like you still has no chance...
of taking me down from Kokuoh.
This position should do fine.
I'll finish you off right here and now.
Ken!
You still don't know the character of your own fists.
I fear the fists of one man alone... Toki!
What?
The village is burning!
Yes. Let's hurry.
It's not yet time for Kenshiro to fight Raoh.
Only calm waters can tame the raging rapids.
Calm waters?
Yes. If you fight the raging rapids with your own fury...
you'll only be swallowed up and broken apart.
The rapids must be faced with calm waters.
The flow of quiet water.
Mamiya-san, stand back.
Come out. I know you're hiding there.
Damn, so you knew all along that I was there!
And I was hoping to smash your head in one strike!
Anyone could feel the aura of hostility coming from you.
I thought I hid well enough
but I guess I couldn't control it without realizing.
I cannot let you enter the village!
Not until Ken-Oh-sama defeats Kenshiro!
You have too much hostility.
Unskilled techniques can't defeat me.
What? Look at this!
Look at the blood stained on these iron rods!
I'll give these rods a good taste of your blood!
I guess I have no choice. Make your move.
Stay there and watch, Mamiya-san.
There are ways to fight depending on your opponent.
Don't make me laugh!
You think you can beat me with some dancing technique?
Take this!
Fierce Star Steel Breaking Rod!
Damn you!
If you oppose the rapids, you'll be swallowed up.
Instead, follow, and absorb their flow.
I can't move!
Crap! Son of a...
Only calm waters can tame the raging rapids.
Those arms will never let the rods taste blood again.
No! No, I don't want that!
Let's go, Mamiya-san.
Hey, no way! Wait! Don't go!
Come back, come back!
Toki's fists?
Do you understand now why I was afraid...
to let you and Toki meet again?
But I doubt he's taught you his techniques yet.
I'll finish this fight before he appears!
Ken!
No, Ken!
If you fight, you'll die!
For now, you have to run!
Your fists are both like raging rapids!
If you collide with him, even if you defeat him...
you'll be broken apart!
Rei!
Please, stop!
What's the matter Kenshiro?
If you run, it will only shame the title of the
successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Ken!
I won't lose.
Do you have to?
If you must fight, then carve this into your heart!
You must live!
Even a mutual kill would be the same as losing!
This era needs you! For Lin and Bat...
No, for everyone, you must live on!
Even if I have a 99 percent chance of losing...
as long as there is that one percent, it's my fate to...
fight as the successor of the Divine Fist of the North Star!
Come, Kenshiro!
I'll show you that your fighting spirit...
is nothing more than a ripple on the water!
You can't defeat me on that pack mule!
Get off!
Why, you bastard...
So, he's already here.
Toki!
Kenshiro, life is not to be wasted.
Toki...
That light in your eyes...
It seems your strength hasn't faded yet.
Kenshiro, it's not yet time to fight Raoh.
Why?
Rei... it looks like I'm too late.
Toki, please stop Ken!
Rei...
Kenshiro, Rei is so concerned for you...
that he's forgotten his own inevitable death.
Rei has entrusted all of his dreams to you.
Don't let this man's feelings go to waste.
You must live and see this age through to its end.
But even if I have a 99 percent chance of losing...
No. You don't even have that remaining one percent.
He knows.
Kenshiro. Could you kill that girl?
Why Lin?
If you could kill her, you could defeat Raoh.
Kenshiro.
Fighting spiritual energy is born only in the blood of the ruthless.
You were able to take on that spirit...
in your ruthless battles with Shin and Rei.
Shin!
However...
Raoh is far more ruthless than you are.
He even laid his cruel hands on our father, Ryuken!
What? Our father, Ryuken?
So you knew, Toki.
Raoh...
That's impossible! I thought Ryuken died of illness!
Raoh...
He is the one who broke two thousand years of history
of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Must you go, Raoh?
Now that it's been decided that the successor is Kenshiro...
there is no point in remaining here.
Then abandon the Divine Fist of the North Star!
You must never use it again!
I thought I told you that I would grasp the heavens.
I wouldn't have become your adopted son...
if I planned to abandon the art.
I will take orders from no one! Not even from God!
Then you are ready to take the responsibility.
The Divine Fist of the North Star's code of sole succession...
requires that I seal your fists.
Then I shall defeat my master Ryuken...
and become the strongest man alive.
Raoh... what a horrific man have I created?
The Divine Fist of the North Star Secret Technique!
Seven Star Heart Point!
Oh, I didn't know such a secret technique had existed.
What?
What is this?
I can't read Ryuken's movements!
That's...
The seven stars of the Big Dipper!
Ryuken's movements are just like them!
I'll show you why...
the seven stars of the Big Dipper govern death.
There are seven blind spots in human movements.
If you follow them, your movements take the shape...
of the seven stars of the Big Dipper.
In other words, those seven stars show the path...
to sealing one's opponent, the path to death!
I will not kill you.
I will only make sure... you will never use... those fists again.
Forgive me... Raoh!
Not now!
God has granted me good fortune!
It seems he truly does want to fight with me.
Dear God, let me live just a moment longer!
Die!
By the time I got there...
I never knew.
I knew that father's body was growing weaker...
So you finally understand why you can never defeat me...
no matter how hard you try.
But now that Toki is here...
It seems I must stand on the same ground as you.
And there can only be death for you both!
You even killed our father Ryuken all for your ambitions!
I won't forgive you for that.
What foolishness!
Stand back, Kenshiro.
Witness is also a battle in itself.
My fists, the way I fight.
They will surely help you some day.
Toki!
You're not...
I've struck your secret pressure point, "Shintanchu."
Your body won't move unless I release it.
Toki, don't do this!
There are no two-on-one battles in Divine Fist of the North Star.
Even if we win, that's no victory.
You mustn't forget the fact that...
you are the true successor of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Toki!
He's ready to die!
What does he seek to teach Ken through his death?
I'd expect nothing less from the man...
I once acknowledged, Toki.
But with Kenshiro, you could have defeated me.
Toki! It looks like it's time to settle things!
Kenshiro. Watch how I fight closely.
Toki!
Let's go, Raoh!
Not Raoh! Call me Ken-Oh!
My name will soon echo in the heavens!
I'll give you a good look at my fist!
The air isn't moving!
It isn't flowing wild, like when he fought Ken!
He's letting it pass by him.
Brother!
Rei!
Are you alright, brother?
Raoh's fighting spiritual energy hasn't changed...
But Toki is letting it pass by. No, he's almost swallowing...
the violent rapids of Raoh's fighting spiritual energy!
Like the calm waters...
This is the flow of calm waters.
Look at the distance between them.
When Raoh approaches, Toki withdraws and dodges.
That's why the air is calm.
Toki, your fist is a defensive one!
It shows its true strength by blocking my attacks!
But how long can you keep defending against my fist?
Here I go!
Toki's made his first move forward!
He's strong!
No! Raoh's changed his strategy!
He's nuts! He stabbed through his own foot...
to keep Toki from moving!
He's gone for a battle of endurance after all.
Now neither Toki nor Raoh has any place to run!
It's over, Toki.
Both you and Ryuken had skills of my level...
but you will both fall to old age and illness!
Could this be the end?
In martial arts, in battles between the masters...
even staring down your opponent requires immense energy.
Even the slightest distraction can cost your life.
And Toki is ill!
Toki!
Keep watching, Kenshiro.
Let my death strengthen you.
You're the only one in this world who can defeat Raoh.
It seems that God does wish to fight with me!
Toki!
Let me... Let me go!
Toki, you must have seen the Death Omen Star.
But it was never illness that spelled your doom.
It was me!
Ken...
Ken, save him! Save that man!
Ken, please, save him!
Ken, move!
Toki!
The time of settlement has finally come with Raoh's fist of fury!
Will Lin's tears drive Ken's secret techniques to explode?
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
THE GREATEST BATTLE IN HISTORY, RAOH VS: KEN!
YOU'RE THE ONE TO DIE!
The Greatest Battle in History, Raoh vs. Ken!
You're the One to Die!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
