THE STAR OF DARKNESS ENGULFS THE HEAVENS!
TIME EVOLVES BEYOND THE DEATHMATCH!
Ken-Oh!
The Holy Emperor Souther...
The greatest master of the South Star Sacred Fist.
So he's finally shown his ambitions.
He has many cities already under his control
and the representation of his authority and power,
his Holy Cross Mausoleum, is almost complete.
Using obedient child labor... That's typical of him.
Put some spirit into it!
Right now I need to recover.
I must heal the wounds that were sustained in fighting Kenshiro.
But make no mistake. I will return.
Souther, run freely while you can.
No slacking! Pull like you mean it!
For the Holy Emperor, for the Holy Cross Mausoleum!
Better work, or you'll get tossed out alone in the desert!
- Souther-sama! - Souther-sama's is here!
Welcome, Souther-sama, you've made quite a journey.
Delicious!
Lin, if you don't eat, you won't make it. Come on.
It's fine! There's a rumor Ken has surfaced in a nearby town.
We'll find him.
You're right. I'm sure we'll find him!
What's up, Pel?
- Hey, it's a kid. - Looks like a healthy one, too.
This should put a smile on the Holy Emperor's face.
Who are you guys?
Be good and do as we say.
Lin, it's okay, I'll protect you.
You hear that? "I'll protect you," he says!
Well, Mr. Knight? How do you plan to protect her?
Damn you!
Don't mess with The Bat himself!
You spoiled little brat!
Four, five...
Six, seven, eight...
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve...
Thank you!
Get back, Chiko!
Well? Are you here to steal children, too?
We'll never let you have her!
Come on, Chiko!
What's this about?
We'll protect the kids, even if it costs us our lives!
Forget this, just get him!
You villain!
Stop! Would you guys quit it?
Elder, why are you stopping us? This man is...
This man is no thug.
Please excuse our villagers for such behavior, traveler.
- Of course. - They're all on edge...
because of the outlaws that have been taking children.
Children?
Yes, they took my precious sons!
It's all because of the Holy Emperor, Souther!
Souther is gathering children...
to build his Holy Cross Mausoleum.
They say he promised to let anyone who brought him a child...
become part of his holy forces.
The Holy Emperor Souther...
Even innocent children...
I thought I saw a kid around here.
Gotcha ya.
Oh, God...
Hey, woman. You've got a kid here, don't you?
I don't! I'm all alone...
Liar. I know I saw one!
What's that box?
- This is... - Move!
Hey, how about that!
Help me, Mama!
Stop!
Shut up!
Taka... Taka!
Forgive me, Taka.
If I don't sacrifice you, the other children would be...
- We're safe now. Come on out. - Yeah.
One, two, three... hey, five of them!
I'm sure this will get me into the holy forces.
You screwed up. Hyenas don't travel alone.
No... Don't take everything I have!
Move it, you old hag!
I'm now a member of Holy Emperor's forces.
I'll be set for life!
So long!
Hey, buddy, where the hell do...
you think... you're going... sir?
What's your problem?
Let the children go and leave.
Oh, you want the kids too? Just say so!
Sure, we'll split them.
I'm taking all of them.
You can't do that. I found them first!
All of them.
Die, you bastard!
You son of a... I'll kill you!
I'll kill you...
Don't bother. You're already dead.
You can come out now.
Ta... Taka!
Mama! Mama!
Taka... Taka!
Mama, this man saved me!
Thank you... Thank you so much!
This area is very dangerous. Hurry and flee to safety.
Yes, we will!
So you're Kenshiro.
The Holy Emperor's thugs?
Arrows do nothing to me.
Shut the hell up. Resist and we'll kill you.
If you don't want to die, get lost.
What'd you say?
- Bastard! - I'll skewer you!
Who the hell are you!
This is the South Star Sacred Fist...
You're Kenshiro, the successor to Divine Fist of the North Star?
Your eyes... are you blind?
However, eyes of my soul are wide open.
My name is Shu, of the South Star White Heron Fist.
South Star White Heron Fist?
Correct. I'm one of the South Star Six Sacred Fists...
following my star's destiny as we fall into this chaotic era.
I've heard a lot about you.
Kenshiro, I'll take you on.
I suppose these child's tricks won't work on you.
Is this man like Raoh and Souther...
having ambitions for these turbulent times?
But he's different somehow.
As the South Star fades, the North Star appears.
When the six stars drifted apart, we were destined to fight.
Those who seek to defeat me will end up meeting these fists.
Then let the terror of my art...
be engraved upon your body.
This stance...
South Star White Heron Fist Secret Technique:
Alluring Illusion Palm!
I can't feel his presence!
The eyes see not, but the heart does.
I have no fear of your fist.
Fear creates one's presence, allowing the enemy to close in.
You dodged that quite well.
This is the essence of the South Star White Heron Fist...
Raging Aerial Kick Wave!
Impressive. You're the first one to block that move.
But how far can you run?
I won't die.
For the sake of the friend to whom I swore it...
Ken, you must survive. Don't die!
In this era...
This chaotic era needs your Divine Fist of the North Star
to turn tears into smiles...
Rei...
I shall swear again. I will live through this era...
and bring the light back to the century's end.
But without defeating me, the light won't return.
You have no idea why the Divine Fist of the North Star has a...
sole succession order and is the strongest of all martial arts.
I'll teach that to you now.
What?
This is the South Star Crimson Crane Fist!
Why?
The Divine Fist of the North Star Secret Technique:
Water Reflection Spirit!
In the Divine Fist of the North Star,
we are able to absorb the techniques of those we fought.
The sound of the earth caving in on you must be terrifying.
You can't close in on me.
- Shu-sama! - Damn you!
- Wait, don't! - But...
This is what Shu-sama chose to do. We must not interfere.
Damn it!
Shu-sama!
Fool. Why don't you finish me?
Let me ask you. Why didn't your moves have any intent to kill?
Stop!
Ken, don't fight him!
Lin...
He saved me and Bat!
It's true. He's not evil at all!
You're strong. Now I know why Rei sided with you.
Sorry, I couldn't see your power without risking my life.
Here, hold on.
I'm Rei's best friend... Shu of the Star of Benevolence.
I've waited for your arrival, Kenshiro.
The only man who can defeat the Holy Emperor, Souther!
The successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star!
Shu of the Star of Benevolence!
His fate was sealed the day he met Kenshiro!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
SHU OF THE SOUTH STAR WHITE HERON FIST!
WHAT WILL YOU WITNESS IN THE END OF THIS CENTURY!
Shu of the South Star White Heron Fist!
What Will You Witness In the End of this Century!
The rage of the tempest is calling me.
