you set off on a journey
And lost sight of tomorrow
I never want to see that your face has forgotten how to smile

Kenshiro collapsed before Souther's South Star Phoenix Fist!
He was then taken captive to serve as a human sacrifice
for the Holy Cross Mausoleum.
But Shiba, the only son of Shu the resistance leader,
saved Kenshiro.
The Holy Emperor's troops were closing in.
Then Shiba had decided to sacrifice himself.
A BLOODY BATTLE: SHU VS: SOUTHER!
LOVE: DROWNED IN THE LOVE OF THE STAR OF BENEVOLENCE!
What the hell, kid?
Did you carry him out of the jail?
Where'd you hide him?
Talk! Spit it out or else you're dead meat!
That's dynamite!
Dynamite!
Shiba!
I...
I've been saved not only by Shu, but by his son as well...
Shiba...
I can't die... Not now...
Must get... to Shu...
He's awake!
Lin... Bat...
You shouldn't get up yet, Ken!
This... Did you two do this?
No.
When we found you near this base,
you'd already been treated and were even bandaged.
Then who has?
Who would have done this?
We found Ken. Isn't that great?
Raoh-sama. As you have surmised, Kenshiro was...
Ah huh.
But was that the right thing to do?
It's fine!
There is still something Kenshiro must do for me.
Shu!
You're awake.
Shiba, he...
He was extraordinary.
We couldn't even find one piece of his bones.
Shu, I'm so sorry. I can't even find the proper words.
Please commend him, won't you?
I was just praising him myself.
There's no reason for you to feel bad.
The blood of the Star of Benevolence flowed
through Shiba's body as well.
I'm very proud of him.
Shu...
Who are you?
Shu-sama at the base has sent some food.
We've been ordered to stay here and protect the village.
Oh, I see.
Good work. Come on in.
Shu-sama has sent us some food.
That's awesome!
Wow, that's a big box!
Looks like we've finally got some decent food!
Hurry up and open it!
Well, sure.
What's wrong?
- It's Souther's troops! - Damn, it was a trap!
Souther-sama!
It looks like the advance troops have succeeded!
If we put the squeeze on the resistance,
we'll soon find out where Shu's hideout is!
The guerillas will have no choice but to surrender
before our massive forces!
Before we topple Shu's main troops,
Take 100 of the women and children as hostages.
Kill the rest!
There will be no mercy!
For those who oppose the Holy Emperor Souther,
even a surrender will not be enough.
- Yes, sir!
Over there!
That must be Shu's secret base!
Shu-sama!
Shu-sama! Souther's battalion is attacking!
What? So they've finally found the base?
Ken, we're in trouble! Wake up now!
He can't fight like that.
What?
I've given Ken a sleeping pill.
A sleeping pill?
A powerful one.
Even Ken won't be able to wake up from it.
Lin, Bat...
Yes!
I have a favor to ask you two.
What is it?
I never thought there was an underground waterway here.
Unbelievable...
We're ready.
If you go straight, you should be able to get away.
Shu.
Listen carefully, Lin... Bat.
When Ken wakes up, tell him this...
Our wishes, and all children
living in this distressing age depend on this fist.
When I first met you,
you must have been around the same age as Shiba, Kenshiro.
I would have loved to have witnessed at least a glimpse
of you as a grown man.
Even if I perish,
we will become the South Star as father and son
and watch over you.
Kenshiro, I'm counting on you.
Farewell.
Shu!
Don't die, Shu!
Don't die... no matter what happens!
Don't die, Shu!
It's alright, Lin. Your tears will make me even stronger.
Shu!
Don't cry, Lin! Don't!
Let's go, Lin!
- Go on. - Right!
Promise me you won't die, Shu! No matter what!
Please don't die!
They're here!
Stay strong! Fight them with everything you've got!
Bring it on!
Alright! Bring out the hostages!
Damn it!
Mommy, I'm scared!
Alright hostages, line up here!
Hurry it up!
Damn it!
All the hostages will be killed if you resist!
If you think I'm bluffing, let me show you some proof!
Hey, woman! Give me one of your kids!
What?
These children are both dear to me!
So which one can I kill?
- Stop it! - Mommy, I'm scared!
- Mommy! - Please stop it!
Give me my children back!
- Give me my children back! - Shut up!
Stop it!
Stop crying punks!
Now watch this! I'm going to kill them both!
- Mommy! - Help us!
Shu-sama!
Souther!
You're finally out in the open, the leader of the rats!
But you can't defeat me.
My star is the polar star!
The other stars merely orbit around me!
Even if I cannot defeat you, I will fight furiously
until my life burns out.
Very well! I'll bear witness to
the final moments of the South Star White Heron Fist!
You use your ears to sense your opponents.
Will you stand a chance if your hearing is disrupted?
Die!
South Star Fierce Kick Cutting Formation!
How can you locate their positions?
It's neither my eyes nor ears which sense my enemies.
I sense it with my soul.
Then how about this?
Souther-sama!
Souther!
Prepare to die!
That was pretty close.
Now strike once again.
What?
I wonder if you can sacrifice a hundred hostages?
Shu-sama...
Shu-sama! Shu-sama!
Everyone...
Now strike if you want to! I won't resist you.
It's your greatest wish to defeat me.
You can do what even Kenshiro couldn't achieve.
You won't get this chance again.
Shu-sama...
- Forget about us, Shu-sama! - Please defeat Souther!
Defeat Souther!
How sad it is to bear the Star of Benevolence.
Shu-sama!
End of the line, Shu!
Shu-sama!
Hold still!
The secret techniques of the South Star White Heron Fist
lie in its footwork.
I've cut your leg muscles.
You'll never be able to use martial arts again.
Alright! With Shu gone, we've practically won!
Charge all the way! Slaughter them all!
Wait! Souther, that's not what you promised!
You only saved a hundred hostages here.
I haven't said anything about all the others.
Souther! You son of a...
It's not sympathy that makes up an emperor!
I will not tolerate even a single rebellion!
Those who disobey me will be killed!
Shu, no matter how bright the Star of Benevolence may shine,
you cannot save the people and the world all alone.
Take him away!
I've prepared a suitable death for you.
Souther!
I'm the Holy Emperor!
I need neither love nor sympathy!
Kenshiro, listen to me!
Listen to the scream of my my soul!
Kenshiro!
What's wrong, Lin?
I thought I just heard something.
Huh?
Now, get out of here quickly!
You might be able to catch up to Kenshiro-san!
Hurry and go!
Right.
Dad!
Go! Hurry!
Dad!
There was an escape route here, huh?
Can't let any of them get away.
What should we do with the kids?
They're too much trouble. Kill them.
You've got a point. No reason to let them live.
Say your prayers!
You fool! Quit that! That's creepy!
I'm not like that!
- What's that? - What happened?
- Someone's coming! - Kill him!
Shu...
Shu is calling me.
Calling me...
Shu is calling me!
Shu has fallen into the hands of the Holy Emperor!
Just what is Souther of the polar star up to now?
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
THE BLOODY CROSS MAUSOLEUM!
SHU! I'LL CATCH YOUR TEARS WITH MY HEART!
The Bloody Cross Mausoleum!
Shu! I'll Catch Your Tears With My Heart!
The rage of the tempest is calling me.
