As the South Star fades,
the North Star appears.
Souther, the polar star of the Southern Cross,
made clear his ambition to rule the century's end as the Holy Emperor.
And this man!
My name is Shu.
Shu, of the South Star White Heron Fist!
Ken! Don't fight with him!
SHU OF THE SOUTH STAR WHITE HERON FIST!
WHAT WILL YOU WITNESS IN THE END OF THE CENTURY?
Ken!
Why did you come?
I'm sorry...
Because... I just had to go with you.
It was hard to get here too!
We got attacked by some bad guys,
and that man saved us. So, you know...
Ken!
Alright!
I thought you'd be more upset.
Good for you, brave children.
Thank you so much!
Shu-sama!
Souther's forces have appeared in a village nearby!
What?
Alright, move out!
Right!
Kenshiro, I have something I must tell you.
May we meet again.
Let's go!
Shu of the South Star White Heron fist.
I have the feeling that I've met him before.
It's Souther's troops!
The children! Take the children!
Take the kids!
Kill the adults!
Now I got you!
Wait up, damn it!
Please, spare my child!
Well you see, we need children.
Hurry it up or I'll kill you!
Arrows...
Who the hell are you?
Hey, that's Shu!
The leader of the resistance against Souther-sama!
Attack!
It's Shu! The resistance is here!
What? Shu?
Kill Shu!
The rest of the resistance are just small fries!
Go!
He's strong!
Stop right there, Shu!
Quit resisting us. Otherwise we'll crush these kids!
- That hurts! - That hurts!
Come on, throw down your weapons!
Come on, hurry up!
Who the hell are you?
Get the hell out of this village!
Crush him!
The Divine Fist of the North Star! Then he must be...
Ke... Kenshiro!
Belga-sama!
Run.
What?
Run away!
- Belga-sama! - Run!
Wait for me!
You whimps! In your face!
Very impressive, Kenshiro.
Those were the troops of the Holy Emperor Souther.
His ambition is to rule the end of the century so
he abducts obedient children
and enslaves them to work on his Holy Cross Mausoleum.
We, the resistance, cannot allow that to happen.
Shu-sama! It seems like this village is also losing children!
What?
Shu-sama, I beg you! Save the children!
The children are our hope!
Without our children, we won't have the will to live!
I believe the Holy Emperor's troops are still in the vicinity.
And the children are with them.
But we don't know where they are.
Only if we knew,
we could ambush them and take the children back.
I'll do it! I'll act as bait!
- What? - Lin...
Hey, Lin! That's dangerous!
But they're after children!
If someone acts as bait,
Souther's troops will surely show up.
But...
So we'll act as bait!
What, "we"? I'm in this too?
Don't worry, Bat. Ken and the others are with us.
Yeah, but...
I'm sorry Ken. Please lend me your strength.
I'll protect these children no matter what.
Save me!
Take me back home!
I'm scared!
Scream all you want but nobody's coming to save you!
You're going to work for the Holy Emperor Souther!
Got that?
What's our next plan, Belga-sama?
Relax.
The resistance is in that village now.
But they can't stay in that village forever.
They're outnumbered.
Eventually another unit will attack a different village
and lure the resistance out of that village.
And once they're gone, we'll attack that same village?
We can attack it later.
No need to risk our lives doing it now.
Hey, this is dangerous! Let's go back, Lin!
What are you talking about? We'll be fine!
But this sand storm is really bad,
and Souther's troops aren't showing up!
No! Many children's lives are at stake here!
We'll be fine. Let's go a little farther!
Man, what have I gotten myself into?
Is Ken and the resistance really following us?
They're here!
Crap!
We've got kids.
The captain will be pleased.
Please let us live!
We'll be fine. Right Ken?
Hurry up you!
Alright already! Sheesh...
What's this?
We captured two kids who were wandering in the desert.
Well done.
Wait a minute!
These kids were in that village!
What?
I'm absolutely sure sir! She was with Kenshiro!
Damn it...
What are you guys up to?
You have the wrong person!
I don't know anybody named Kenshiro!
Yeah right...
Kill them!
Yes sir!
Ken!
You bastard!
Ken!
- Ken! - The tables have turned!
Tell this to Souther.
If you want to build the Holy Cross Mausoleum,
sweat it yourself.
Don't terrorize innocent children and
turn them into slaves!
What's that?
You're all alone like a rat in a bag!
I'm quite enough to take you guys on!
Kill him!
- Quick, while we can! - Hurry!
Belga-sama, he's strong!
Incredibly strong!
Go fight!
The Holy Emperor's troops can't turn their backs on our enemies!
Fight to the last man!
Belga-sama!
Are you kidding, fighting someone that strong?
As long as I live, that's all that matters!
Out of the way! Clear the path!
What the...?
Shu!
You can't run any more. Prepare to die.
Belga-sama!
Don't leave us behind!
Hey, my men!
Belga-sama!
It's the resistance! Fight them!
Belga-sama!
This is it.
Why do you side with the resistance when
you don't get anything out of it. You idiots!
You say nothing to gain?
I just cannot forgive those who try to steal the lights
from children who aim to shine brighter!
The lights of children who aim to shine brighter?
Those words! I've heard them once before. Long ago!
Is that Kenshiro?
Although he's very talented, he's a bit too young
to challenge the South Star Ten Man Tournament.
Don't worry yourself needlessly, Souther.
Why would I?
More importantly, I hope you've taught him the codes of the
battle between the North Star and the South Star.
Of course.
Why are you letting this kid screw around with you?
I'll take you on!
Raoh. What's on your mind?
Do you wish to make him stronger or is he in your way?
Whatever.
But if he loses, he won't be leaving here alive.
Are you fine with that?
Fine!
That was the seventh one.
I'm up next!
Shu, things have gotten interesting.
Hey, kid!
No slacking off! I'm up next!
Well, well!
So he felt my energy.
Your opponent's over here, you bastard!
He even beat the ninth guy!
Could he maybe...
Shu! Are you going to fight him?
Is he skilled enough?
Of course he is.
I'm the only one in this dojo who is his equal.
What's your name?
Kenshiro.
Your tenth and final opponent will be me.
Bring it on!
Looks like he ended up with the wrong guy at the end.
Shu! Finish him off!
If another style has challenged us,
the loser must not leave here alive!
Thank you. I'm glad you were my tenth opponent.
You've taught me the severity of martial arts.
Why aren't you finishing him off, Shu?
If you don't want to...
Kill him!
No!
I won't let you kill this boy.
What?
Shu!
I won't allow transgressions, even from you!
I can feel it.
This boy has the hidden potential to shine brighter
and be stronger than anyone!
No one has the right to take that light away from him!
This is the code of the South Star!
I'm not asking this for nothing. In exchange...
I'll give you my light.
Do you have a problem with that?
I have forgotten.
Of the South Star Six Sacred Fists,
he's the Star of Benevolence.
He's the star destined to widely spread his love
and live in hope for the future.
But who was that boy anyway?
How did he awaken Shu's destiny
as the Star of Benevolence?
Kenshiro... perhaps you are...
Shu! That was him!
You traded your eyes for my life back!
Kenshiro. No need to worry about it.
My eyes can't see but in exchange, my heart has opened up.
I can perceive everything as if they are in my hands.
This too, was my destiny, as the Star of Benevolence.
I wasn't wrong.
You've begun to shine brighter and stronger
than the light I've lost.
Shu.
The resistance has fallen into Souther's trap!
Kenshiro, don't let the light of this world diminish!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
LOVE ON THE BATTLEFIELD!
MUST THIS AGE TEAR LOVE APART?
Love on the Battlefield!
Must this Age Tear Love Apart?
The rage of the tempest is calling me.
