To protect your love with me,
you set off on a journey
And lost sight of tomorrow
I never want to see that your face has forgotten how to smile

Raoh, the ruler of the end of the century!
His malicious fist had obliterated even his adoptive father, Ryuken!
Bearing the North Star's 2,000 years of rage...
Kenshiro now faces Raoh!
The time has come to settle this, once and for all.
Toki!
You didn't...
I've struck your secret pressure point, "Shintanchu."
Your body won't move unless I release it.
Toki, don't do this!
The fist of raging water, Raoh and the fist of calm water, Toki.
Which one of them saw the Death Omen Star?
And what about Kenshiro, who's immobilized by his pressure point?
THE GREATEST BATTLE IN HISTORY. RAOH VS: KEN!
YOU'RE THE ONE TO DIE!
Your fist is a defensive fist!
It shows its true strength by blocking my attacks!
But how long can you keep defending against my fist?
It seems that God does wish to fight with me!
He's insane! He stabbed through his own foot...
to keep Toki from moving!
In martial arts battles between two masters...
even staring down your opponent requires immense energy.
Even the slightest distraction can cost your life.
And Toki is ill!
Could this be the end?
It's over, Toki.
Both you and Ryuken had skills of my level...
but you will both fall to old age and illness!
Toki!
Toki, you must have seen the Death Omen Star.
But it wasn't the illness that spelled your doom.
It was me!
Toki!
Ken! Save that man!
Ken, please, save him!
Ken, move! Ken!
I can't... I can't move!
Ken!
Toki!
Unleash me now!
Release me from the bind of my pressure point!
Keep watching, Kenshiro.
Let my death strengthen you.
You're the only one in this world who can defeat Raoh.
Toki won't move... That's just how he is.
Why...
If he called out and released Ken...
they can absolutely take Raoh down! What's the deal?
The Divine Fist of the North Star.
Huh?
The Divine Fist of the North Star's order of sole succession.
Its two thousand year history...
carries far more weight than we could imagine.
Toki wants to teach Ken with his own death.
Kenshiro...
There are no two-on-one battles in Divine Fist of the North Star.
Toki, you're willing to give your life for your convictions.
But what are you going to get out of it?
When you die, all becomes nothing.
Death is death, whether you're a man or a stinking filthy dog!
How long can he hold out?
Toki, you can't handle my fist any longer.
You're ill. All I have to do is wait.
Your body will collapse from sheer blood loss!
What's wrong, Toki? You're getting pale.
All that's holding you up now is willpower.
Kenshiro, it seems that this is it for me.
Toki!
The Divine Fist of the North Star's sole succession...
carries a grueling fate...
My death, too, is a trial you must endure.
Let my death empower you and walk the path of the successor.
You're ready?
Stop, Toki!
Toki...
I see the incredible fighting spiritual energy.
Right now, they're exchanging countless blows!
Farewell, Kenshiro!
I saw that coming!
Toki!
Toki! Your life is mine!
Toki!
Don't even try! That won't defeat me.
Mamiya! Don't! Stop it!
A bowgun won't do you any good!
The Divine Fist of the North Star has the Two-Finger Vacuum Grasp.
The arrow you fire will bounce right back at you, Mamiya!
Rei, you're wounded and Ken's paralyzed.
I'm the only one that can fight right now.
Looks like she's seen the Death Omen Star as well.
Go ahead, fire at will.
Don't! Raoh, please, stop!
Anyone but her... Please, don't kill her!
So you're in...
I am. Mamiya... Mamiya is...
She's the only woman who has taught me what love is!
Brother!
Please. I beg of you, don't kill Mamiya!
Rei...
Thank you, Rei.
Your feelings make me glad to have lived even in this era.
Mamiya...
Mamiya-san!
Ken, move!
Please, Ken, move!
Lin...
Ken! If you don't move, Mamiya-san will die!
Ken! Ken, move!
Ken!
Mamiya!
Ken!
Son of a...
You broke Toki's bind?
Kenshiro!
Ken!
What broke it wasn't my body.
It was my strong, pure spirit of desire to live on as a human.
That spirit overcame the bind of my pressure point!
Raoh!
What you grasp is the Death Omen Star!
Raoh! You can't even grasp your own life!
Kenshiro's body and soul have far surpassed what I've imagined!
Kenshiro!
This ends the 2,000-year-history of the Divine Fist of the North Star!
Which one? Which one will win?
Idiot! There's no way Ken-Oh-sama will lose!
Ken-Oh-sama is an invincible emperor!
Brother!
You said Kenshiro-san was 99 percent likely to lose!
No. The way Ken is now...
Maybe Kenshiro can...
But, moments ago you said...
Raoh surpasses him in body and skills.
But maybe Ken's soul, which broke even Toki's binding can...
The soul is what rules the body.
That is where the Divine Fist of the North Star's secrets lie.
I won't stop him any longer.
In fact, I want to see Kenshiro's fight!
Kenshiro!
Learn for yourself...
why I call myself Ken-Oh, the King of the Fist!
This is the Arhat Dual King Fist secret technique...
the Deadly Wind Vajra Fist!
Kenshiro!
You impressively blocked the Arhat Dual King Fist!
But you won't block the next one so easily.
You'll give up and die...
before even crossing fists with me!
That's a secret technique...
known only to the South Star Sacred Fist!
How did Raoh master that fist?
Ken!
Raoh's fist is full secret moves that he stole from all the...
martial artists in Cassandra, giving him terrifying skills.
But Kenshiro, believe in your fist, and your soul as you fight!
What's the matter? Is that all you could handle, Kenshiro?
Raoh, as the successor of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
I will defeat you!
Then face me!
You bastard!
They both barely blocked one another!
When masters battle, there's no way to predict each other.
All they can do, then...
is take the hit at the last moment and break their opponent's bones.
Did that shatter your bones, Kenshiro?
Stop! Stop it!
I can't take it anymore!
What a mesmerizing fight...
All that blood shed!
They must only have enough strength for one last blow.
They can't pull out any more new moves.
In that case, they'll put it all on the line for that one last hit!
Ken!
You've gotten strong...
If you were... the old Raoh, I would've beaten you...
A simultaneous hit?
Ken-Oh-sama couldn't be...
But he's got no strength left to move.
Ken-Oh-sama, who has never once lost to anyone...
You're kidding, right?
It's over. Ken-Oh's legend of terror is over!
Ken-Oh's empire has fallen!
There's no point in obeying his orders any longer.
I'm getting out of here!
- Me too! - Hey!
- Wait up! - Run for it!
Those bastards...
An empire built on greed...
only attracts those who are full of greed themselves.
How foolish...
Ken!
Lin, relax.
Neither of them has completely hit each other's pressure point.
That's enough. It's over.
You both know very well that you can't fight any further.
Raoh, stand down for now.
I'm sure you don't want a mutual death.
Ken, this battle isn't over yet.
Today marks the beginning of our fight.
I will seize the heaven.
Until my empire is brought to fruition...
I will never die!
I am Ken-Oh!
The King of the Fist will never kneel to the ground!
Kokuoh...
Farewell, Kenshiro.
His men have left him.
That horse is all he has left.
He's all alone...
Kenshiro, Raoh will certainly show up again.
Your battle is far from over.
There is no rest for these men.
Tomorrow, once again, a new battle awaits them!
Mamiya travels to the city of medicine for Rei!
But it's a terrifying place where dogs rule the city!
72 HOURS TO LIVE!
THE DEATH OMEN STAR DRAGS REI IN!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
72 Hours to Live!
The Death Omen Star Drags Rei In!
Rei only has three days to live.
I'm sorry, Rei.
