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!

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 fell down before the South Star Phoenix Fist
of the Holy Emperor Souther!
But the Star of Benevolence's tears had summoned the North Star.
The scream from Shu, the hero of the resistance,
has awakened Kenshiro back to life.
So you're finally here, Kenshiro.
Souther!
Are you asking me to die carrying this stone?
Yes, indeed!
Very well!
For the six South Stars, I'll 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!
The South Star will never shine as the imperial star!
Shut the hell up!
Shu!
CLASH OF THE POLAR STARS: KEN VS: SOUTHER!
MY STAR STAR IS THE ONLY PROTECTOR OF HEAVEN!
Shu!
- Shu-sama... - Shu-sama!
Ken... it seems like the end has come.
I wanted to get just a glimpse of how much you have grown!
- Shu-sama!
Shu!
Here's the finishing strike!
Shu!
What the...
Is that you, Kenshiro...?
Is it you?
Shu, can you see?
How could this happen...
God has granted me one last wish...
I can see a resemblance of Shiba in you.
Shu...
I have no regrets.
The blood of the Star of Benevolence led me down the right path.
Go, Kenshiro!
Open the path of this age!
I'll always be watching you!
Shu...
Farewell!
Shu!
- Shu-sama! - Shu-sama!
- Shu! - Shu!
Shu... It was a remarkable final moment.
Shu!
Shu-sama!
Our light is gone...
All that lies ahead now is darkness...
The hero of the resistance? What are you talking about!
Everyone who defies Souther-sama meets the same fate!
You'll all serve Souther-sama for the rest of your lives!
Live on in my heart!
South Star White Heron Fist, the Star of Benevolence, Shu!
Souther!
You scoundrel...
I won't even let one strand of your hair remain in the world.
Kenshiro, those will become your last words.
Souther-sama himself is going up...
They say that as the South Star fades,
the North Star appears. Then fighting you is my destiny!
Now is the time to end the South Star's history of humiliation.
South Star and North Star will settle the 2,000-year-long battle!
You shall perish in this grave before your brothers!
Souther!
These steps represent Shu's suffering.
Step by step, you shall climb these steps...
and feel the weight of all your sins!
You're wrong. These steps represent a countdown...
to the end of the Divine Fist of the North Star!
Souther-sama shouldn't have to dirty his hands. Let me...
So long. Man of the North Star!
What the hell?
Don't interfere.
I won't tolerate anyone interfering with this fight.
You children are the lights that seek to shine in the future.
Live strong... Live strong!
Shu-sama...
Shu-sama!
That kid...
What did he...!
That brat!
See this!
This child...
Feelings for Shu have driven a child to go insane.
Because of love, people must suffer!
Because of love, people must grieve!
Because of love... Because of love...
As an orphan, I was left in the care of Ohgai,
the successor to the South Star Phoenix Fist.
Ohgai, having no children, raised me as his own.
Sensei!
Good work, Souther.
The training was rough...
but I never considered it painful.
Sensei!
Well done, Souther.
I endured any lesson, no matter how harsh it was.
All for the sake of the peaceful sensation of his warm hands...
that rewarded me after mastering a new technique.
And when I turned fifteen...
Listen, Souther.
Now you must defeat the enemy that attacks you.
This will be your first serious battle.
And you must fight blind folded!
Don't hold back! This is the trial of succession.
Sensei!
Well done, Souther.
Why? You could have pulled back.
If you'd pulled back, you could have avoided my strike!
No, even had I tried...
Your sharp strike was too swift for me to dodge.
Sensei! Ohgai-sensei!
I have nothing left to teach you.
Sensei!
Don't cry.
The polar star of the South Star,
the South Star Phoenix Fist, also has the order of a sole successor.
To be defeated by the new successor...
is part of our fate...
The true path to succession has no room for sympathy.
Sensei!
I have no regrets. I...
I saw the polar star...
of the Southern Cross in your eyes.
Sensei...
Sensei!
Why?
If... If it's this distressful...
If it's this painful...
I don't... I don't need love!
From then on, love meant nothing to me.
No... the star of the Holy Emperor was awakened.
An emperor has no need for love!
Those who bare fangs at me face only death!
Then I...
shall fight for the sake of love.
- Ken! - Please win, Ken!
Kenshiro can't win...
unless he solves the mystery of Souther's body.
Kenshiro! You've fallen before me once.
Challenge me all you want. But the...
Divine Fist of the North Star won't defeat the Holy Emperor.
You will fall before this God-given body...
of the Holy Emperor Souther!
Perish... along with the love you believe in!
Love will never perish!
Ken used Shu's technique!
Why doesn't he use the Divine Fist of the North Star?
Kenshiro is repaying Shu for his death.
I wanted to land at least one wound on your body...
with Shu's fist.
But the fist that will defeat you is the fist of tempest,
the Divine Fist of the North Star!
You fool!
You still want to prolong your suffering?
But this Holy Emperor is different!
Open the sacred room!
Yes, sir!
That's...
This is...
That body is that of my master, Ohgai.
The Holy Cross Mausoleum is my final tribute
to my great master, Ohgai.
It's also the tomb of my emotions for love and sympathy!
I abandoned both love and sympathy.
Your fist filled with sufferings may wound me...
but it can never drain all of my blood!
I said this before.
That I won't even let one strand of your hair remain in the world.
Then come and get me!
Strike, Kenshiro!
That won't work!
You have no idea why it doesn't work!
Playtime is over! Die, Kenshiro!
- Ken! - It's no use!
Ken's Divine Fist of the North Star isn't working!
This is...
It's useless!
What?
Die, Kenshiro!
Ken!
Is there no way Kenshiro can win?
The polar star of the South Star shines in the heavens!
Who will fall next before the South Star Phoenix Fist?
Quit gloating!
Souther!
I know about the mystery hidden in your body.
What?
Stay back...
Toki, don't go any further!
I don't need any help!
Ken!
What the hell is going on? Souther-sama is...
My pressure point?
Souther!
I've now solved the mystery!
What... What did you say?
The mystery of the Holy Emperor is finally revealed!
Souther! You shall crumble with the Holy Cross Mausoleum!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
SOUTHER: THE DESPONDENT HOLY EMPEROR!
YOU'RE WEARY FROM LOVE!
Souther, the Despondent Holy Emperor! You're Weary from Love!
The rage of the tempest is calling me...
