LOVE ON THE BATTLEFIELD!
MUST THIS AGE TEAR LOVE APART!
A hideout in a place like this?
- Shu-sama! - Shu-sama!
This is...
Yes. This is why I fight.
There's electricity! Civilization still exist, huh?
Everyone worked to build this hideout.
So you don't just fight all the time.
We must keep up our civilization.
By all means we must defeat Souther
and give the children a world with a future where the sun shines.
You must be tired.
Have a small meal and get some rest.
Dinner!
This is it?
Sorry, we have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for food.
Hey kid, eat this.
Here.
Alright, thanks!
Jay, that's your...
The patrol still has plenty.
And I'm planning to stop by Suwanny on the way back.
Jay's wife's supposed to be treating us...
Hey, we're not married yet!
Please divide it among the kids.
Shu-sama, please help yourself. You have barely eaten.
Thanks guys...
Don't, that's for the other kids!
They're good men.
If not for the fighting,
they'd all be engineers, building a new world for us.
Jay claims he won't die
until he rescues his fiancee's younger brother from Souther.
The others all have children and siblings...
that were abducted by Souther.
You're a shrimp but okay.
I'll allow you to join the Holy Emperor's forces.
Sir! Thank you very much!
But two kids only makes you a private.
But master, I have a little extra tip...
What! The resistance hideout?
That's right.
Security is tight but perhaps we can team up and...
- A mother lode of kids! - Yeah, a mother lode!
Alright, show me the way.
That's the spirit.
Alright men. We're moving out!
Just stop crying already!
You're working for the Holy Emperor now!
Hey!
Alright, you'll be fine now.
They're gaining on us. Speed up!
- Please, I'm begging you! - Spare us!
Don't kill us, please!
Jay, hurry up and kill them.
Yeah, I'll do it.
Hold on! Souther has my little sister. I had no choice!
You would understand, right?
Please, she's still working. I can't die now! Come on.
Was your little sister really taken by them?
It's true. Believe me!
You fools! I was born an only child. I have no sister!
Your fault for being a sucker!
Hey! What you told me about the village better be true?
It's called the Suwanny Village...
I see. The Suwanny Village, huh?
My men are dead.
If I don't bring some kids back with me...
I'll look like an idiot. You follow?
Of course!
Alright, we'll meet up with the others and head out there.
Suwanny Village...
Past this point is Souther's territory.
Shu-sama told me to explain that to you.
By the time we came, it was too late.
They're headed towards the Suwanny Village...
You have to hurry...
Give this to Ami...
What's this?
Filaments... made of bamboo...
Tell Ami we'll get her little brother back...
Jay!
Who's Ami in Suwanny?
Jay's fiancee.
They were supposed to get married
once they saved her brother from Souther.
All the men there are in the resistance...
leaving just women, children, and the elderly.
Tell me where the Suwanny Village is.
Sister Ami! Sister Ami!
I knew you'd be here! It's where you always are.
I have to make sure the windmill doesn't stop while Jay's out.
It's always about Jay with you!
Come now, don't make fun of adults.
When Jay gets back, we can light up the lamps with windpower.
Wow, that'll light the whole village up!
That's right!
What's the matter?
Jay!
Gather all the kids. Don't let a single one escape!
These taste great after a job well done!
With just old geezers and crippled, this job was a cinch.
There's even lots of water! Let's set up shop here.
You moron, this is a hidden city for the guerillas!
We better get out of here before they return!
Oh yeah, you're right!
I'm glad I'm in the Holy Emperor's forces.
All we can loot!
You're just an old geezer. You're crazy going against us.
You can die you old fart!
Who... who the hell are you!
I'd stop picking on the weak if I were you.
Who the hell do you think you are? Teach him a lesson!
Take this!
Bastard, don't mess with us!
Run! He's a monster!
Old man, are you okay?
Forget about me! They took the women and children!
Please save them!
Mind showing me the way?
This should be plenty enough to please the Holy Emperor.
- Please wait. - Sister Ami!
What?
If you take the children, you have to take me too.
Sister Ami!
You're a pretty one.
I wish I could but...
The kids work for the Holy Emperor...
and cute chicks like you work for us. That's how it goes.
Garzus-sama!
- What's wrong? - We can't take it!
Can't take what?
- He's ridiculously strong! - Never seen anything like it!
What's wrong?
That's...
The Divine Fist of the North Star.
The Divine Fist of the North Star? We're screwed! Let's get out!
Don't panic! Use your head.
I'll squash the Divine Fist of the North Star myself.
A child's crying.
What's the matter, master of the Divine Fist of the North Star?
You don't care if she dies?
That's my Garzus-sama!
Hey, it's me! Don't shoot!
Wait! Watch out!
What the hell? Wait for you?
Why...
What a fool! You ruined my trap!
Just as I thought. Men hidden in the water.
He's still going down there?
Yes!
Not bad.
Dumbass! You can't use the Divine Fist of the North Star underwater!
You got him? Hey, what's wrong?
What's wrong? Answer me!
- Are you alright? - Yes...
You can't protect them both and fight me.
I'll kill you all!
But let me ask you this first.
Did you kill the young resistance members?
Those idiots? Yeah, I did. What about it?
You're going to pay for it!
Garzus-sama!
Spare me, please! I have a little sister!
Souther took her and left me with no choice but to do this!
I'm begging you! My little sister...
I'll kill you!
You're already dead.
What?
Why? My acting was...
The word, "lie" was written all over your face.
What!
See for yourself.
I don't see anything written...
Garzus-sama's face is...
No... Please tell me you're lying!
Jay... Jay is dead?
Sister Ami!
Jay is dead...
What should I do now?
He's asked me to give this to you.
Jay did?
He was sorry that he couldn't save your brother.
It's so warm...
He fought bravely until the end.
For the sake of all of you, his loved ones.
I'll never let this light go out...
The light Jay gave his life for.
Sister Ami!
That sound brings back memories.
The Holy Emperor Souther vs. Kenshiro!
But the Holy Emperor has a horrific secret
that may even defeat the Divine Fist of the North Star!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
I AM SOUTHER: THE HOLY EMPEROR!
I DISALLOW LOVE AND COMPASSION!
I Am Souther, the Holy Emperor!
I Disallow Love and Compassion!
The rage of the tempest is calling me.
