A horrifying martial art style has been passed down for 2,000 years.
The Divine Fist of the North Star, named after the sacred Big Dipper.
Tragedy has always followed those who inherit the style!

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

I will not tolerate 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.
Souther!
I'm the Holy Emperor!
I need no love nor sympathy!
Shu, of the South Star White Heron Fist,
has finally fallen into Souther's hands!
As he takes one step at a time up the stairway
to death, he calls out to Kenshiro of the North Star!
RUN KENSHIRO!
ANOTHER COMRAD IS ABOUT TO DIE!
- Shu-sama! - For us...
You will complete the Holy Cross Mausoleum and
it will shine as the symbol of my supreme power.
Climb the stairway to death!
And reinforce my name as the Holy Emperor Souther!
- Wow! - Look at that!
This is no ordinary battle!
Let's hurry.
Right.
Let's go.
- They're calling a meeting! - Let's hurry!
Everyone!
Now is the time for us to unite and rescue Shu-sama!
Let us gather our remaining troops
and head to the Holy Cross Mausoleum!
Yeah, that's right!
Save Shu-sama!
- Defeat Souther! - Rescue Shu-sama!
Shu-sama is trying to sacrifice himself for our future!
Let's save Shu-sama!
We've got to get him back from Souther!
We must unite our strength to rescue Shu-sama!
- Right!
The maggots have gathered just as Souther-sama had predicted!
Alright, men! Crush them all in one blow!
- Alright!
Don't falter! Fight back!
Alright!
Show them hell! Slaughter them!
North Star Merciful Face Breaker!
You bastard!
To... Toki!
Clear the path, or you'll have to take me on.
Shut the hell up! Go!
Ke...
Ke... Ken-Oh!
Ke... Ken-Oh...
Raoh.
Toki.
Toki and Ken-Oh are here...
Toki... Even with your failing health,
it doesn't seem like your fists are weakening.
Why are you here, Raoh?
To watch Kenshiro's last moments.
Unless he solves Souther's mystery, Kenshiro will die!
I know the secret to Souther's mystery.
What?
Toki, you know too?
I won't let Kenshiro die.
He still has unfinished business to get to.
You bastard...
Charge them! Wipe them out with the resistance!
You little punks!
We've turned against the two most horrific enemies!
Ken-Oh and Toki. Two brothers of the North Star.
Spare me!
Please spare me, Ken-Oh-sama!
I'll serve you for the rest of my life!
I'll obey any orders!
You filth! There's no point in even soiling my hands on you!
Now, let us go to Kenshiro...
and witness his battle.
- Shu-sama!
Hang in there just a little longer, Shu-sama.
Just one more step!
Kenshiro! Hear me!
What's the matter, Shu?
You fail now and there won't be any mercy for the hostages!
I can feel it...
Kenshiro is coming...
He's answered to the calling from my soul!
Kenshiro is coming!
What?
Kenshiro?
I can hear it.
I can hear Shu's scream.
The Star of Benevolence is calling me.
Wait for me, Shu!
What's that?
What's going on?
You... are already dead?
Why so calm, sir.
Wait! Forget that!
He's here.
Is that...?
I've been waiting for you.
Kenshiro, the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star!
You managed to survive. Damn it!
You're not taking one step out of here!
Get lost. I don't have any business with you little punks.
What was that?
- Get him! - Kill him!
Who's that?
It's Ken-Oh!
- Over there, too! - What?
Toki!
Ken-Oh and Toki!
Toki!
Kenshiro.
We have the full set of three brothers of the North Star!
Clear the way.
The eldest and second brother of the North Star
will not allow anyone to stand in Kenshiro's way.
They say as the South Star fades,
the North Star appears.
Very well!
I'll turn all three brothers of the North Star
into pillars for the Holy Cross Mausoleum!
Man, look what we showed up for!
Toki, Ken...
Ken-Oh!
This is going to be one amazing battle!
Ken...
Shu...
Kenshiro!
- I'm coming for you now! - No you won't!
I won't allow you to desecrate this Holy Cross Mausoleum!
If you help Shu,
I'll slaughter all the children and hostages.
Then I'll have to end your life.
You smart ass punk.
Stay back! Don't come any closer!
I must place this holy stone.
This stone holds the lives of a hundred hostages!
And my pain for not being able to stop
the South Star Six Sacred Fists from falling apart!
Shu!
You were a fool until the very end...
Why would you feel the guilt for the chaos of the Six South Stars?
Souther! Are you asking me to die carrying this stone?
Yes, indeed.
Very well!
This is not for you, but for the six fallen South Stars!
For the men who bore the stars and died!
I will at least place this holy stone.
But sooner or later, this Holy Cross Mausoleum will fall
by the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star!
That is the destiny of the South Star!
The South Star will never shine as the imperial star!
Shut the hell up!
- Shu-sama!
Just placing that stone won't complete it.
The blood of the South Star is the perfect mortar
to make this Holy Cross Mausoleum sturdier.
Shu...
Shu!
Ken... it seems like the end has come.
I wanted to get just a glimpse of how much you have grown!
Bring me a spear.
Shu!
Here's the finishing strike!
Shu...
Is that you, Kenshiro?
It can't be...
Can you see?
So that's you, Kenshiro...
I can see...
How could this happen?
Shu, can you see?
God has granted me one last wish...
You've grown strong, Kenshiro.
I can see a resemblance of Shiba in you.
I have no regrets.
The blood of the Star of Benevolence led me down the right path.
Shu...
Go, Kenshiro! Open the path of this age.
I'll always be watching you.
Shiba is waiting... and my wife, too.
Farewell, Kenshiro.
- Shu-sama!
Shu!
The Star of Benevolence has shined brightly in the end.
Farewell, Shu.
It was a remarkable final moment.
Shu!
Live on in my heart, the man of the Star of Benevolence.
Souther!
I won't even let one strand of your hair remain in the world!
Kenshiro finally challenges Souther again!
But will the Divine Fist of the North Star work against
the mystery hidden within?
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
CLASH OF THE POLAR STARS: KEN VS: SOUTHER!
MY STAR IS THE ONLY PROTECTOR OF HEAVEN!
Clash of the Pola Stars, Ken Vs. Souther!
My Star is the Only Protector of Heaven!
The rage of the tempest is calling me.
