Raoh and Toki, sworn brothers of the North Star!
Raoh has named himself Ken-Oh
and made clear his ambition to rule the century's end.
But he was wounded in his battle with Kenshiro
and went into hiding.
Shin.
Rei, Yuda, Shu and Souther.
Five of the South Star Six Sacred Fists have already fallen.
Kenshiro, you'll have to fight the other remaining star some day.
That is the fate of
the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
I shall follow my fate as well.
The Divine Fist of the North Star has only one successor.
His fists must be sealed.
Toki.
The enemy of my life...
His name is Raoh!
Raoh!
Raoh of the hard fist style!
Toki of the soft fist style!
Destiny draws closer to both of their paths!
THE OTHER DIVINE FIST OF THE NORTH STAR!
DRIVE RAOH TO OBLIVION!
There is only one who can gauge the extent of my recovery.
And that is Koryu!
Koryu-sama.
Raoh... Raoh will be here soon.
- Zengyo! - Yes, sir!
Toki should be at the village nearby. Go to him at once.
- And report everything to him. - Yes, sir!
Zeus. Aus.
No matter what happens, make no move on Raoh.
Father!
You have no chance against him.
If something happens to me, leave this mountain
and live quietly.
Why?
Why must we?
It is the destiny of the North Star.
I do not wish to get you two involved in it.
Koryu-sama! May you be safe!
So you're here, Raoh.
Yes, indeed.
I knew you would be here soon.
Koryu, forgive me, but I'm taking your life.
Is he going to be alright?
How's that? You should feel better now.
Yeah!
Thank you, sir.
Thank goodness.
Thank you again!
How wonderful.
Thank you so much, Toki-sama.
These fruits were picked in our village.
It isn't much, but this a token of our appreciation...
- Oh, I don't need... - Hey now!
You ought to be thankful when people are nice to you!
They look tasty!
Bat!
Come on, don't be so uptight! Here you go!
Here!
Here you go!
What're you doing, Lin?
I'm giving thanks! I haven't had fruit in so long!
This fruit is so big.
It shows all the hard work that the villagers put into it.
It's good!
I don't know what you're talking about but...
I'm in heaven as long as I can eat!
It's sour!
See, Bat? That's your punishment!
I wish I could travel with these children forever.
But I have my destiny.
The man who broke the 2,000 year old code of the North Star,
Raoh!
Raoh's fists.
Someone must seal them!
Koryu.
I'd expect no less from the man who competed
for the Divine Fist of the North Star with my master, Ryuken.
You haven't weakened one bit.
It's not just my fighting spiritual energy, Raoh.
I know!
I've heard your fists were stronger than Ryuken's.
All the more reason I'm here.
The Divine Fist of the North Star's code of sole succession.
There was a fierce battle over successorship
in the previous generation of Ryuken as well!
Ryuken was called the North Star Dragon...
And Koryu, the North Star Tiger!
He's strong.
At this pace, we'll both kill each other.
But Koryu gave up the throne of the successor at his will
and hid in the mountains to seal away his fists.
This is the first deep wound I have ever received!
You are the only one in the world that
can gauge the recovery of my wound!
Raoh.
You're still hanging on to the Divine Fist of the North Star?
I'm Ken-Oh!
The man who seeks to conquer the martial arts!
Very well.
This is also the destiny of the North Star.
For all those who have battled for succession.
I will honor your death here as I did with theirs.
- This horse! - Is it Raoh's?
Raoh is already here!
Where's father?
Raoh! You must disappear into the Divine Fist of the North Star's
2,000 years of darkness!
Then, I shall raise the North Star from darkness into brightness.
- You're pathetic. - Shut your mouth!
As strong as I expected.
What is this strength welling up from deep within him?
I must seal this man's fists!
Here I come, Raoh! Seven Star Obliteration!
The Divine Fist of the North Star Secret Technique.:
Seven Star Obliteration!
A technique which sacrifices the artist's own life
to take the enemy's life!
So, that's how badly you want to defeat me, huh?
Witness why the King of Fists will make a triumphant return!
Die!
My wounds have healed!
Ken-Oh cannot die!
Incredibly strong...
Raoh, Toki, and Kenshiro.
These three brothers are leading the Divine Fist of the North Star
to its greatest age.
Why did God send these three extraordinary men
into the same era?
Had they only lived in different eras,
no doubt they would have all been fine successors...
Rest in peace, Koryu.
You fool!
This guy's crazy!
We did it! We buried Raoh alive!
Impossible!
Where's our father? Where is he?
So you're Koryu's sons...
Forgive my lack of discretion. My name is Zengyo.
I have a message for Toki-sama from Koryu-sama.
Raoh... Raoh has headed towards my master, Koryu...
What?
Raoh's wounds have healed,
and his hard fist style will soon rise again.
So he has. It seems the time to fight is finally here.
Toki.
- Raoh! - Prepare to die!
It's no use!
Lin, get some water!
I'm fine!
Toki...
I must hurry.
The North Star's code demands that I defeat Raoh.
Ken...
Kenshiro.
Are you telling me that I can't defeat Raoh
with my ailing body?
Very well.
Then see for yourself
whether my illness has devoured even my fists!
Toki.
North Star Heaven Returning Palm!
What the hell is going on?
The North Star Heaven Returning Palm!
This form pledges that even if one of them goes down,
they will have no grudges with one another
and return to heaven with no regrets!
Does that mean they're fighting for real?
Stop it!
No!
Why are you stopping me?
No one can stop them now!
Men seek to be strong and aim for perfection!
And all the more so for martial artists.
This battle cannot be avoided!
Ken, Toki!
Kenshiro... this will be the last time I fight you.
As a martial artist and as a man, I've always wanted to fight you once.
Let me experience the fist
of the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Toki... I have admired you and chased after you for years.
You have the most graceful techniques of any man
in the 2,000 year history of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
A mutual strike!
Well done, Kenshiro.
I've truly experienced the fist of the successor.
Toki, if only you weren't suffering from illness...
It was the power of destiny that allows me to be as strong as you.
My destiny that won't allow me to collapse now
drives even this sickened body!
I have a destiny which I cannot escape from.
Kenshiro, I leave my soul with you.
And for my body...
I will sacrifice it for the death match with Raoh!
- Kill him! - Brother!
Are you true brothers?
Brothers...
Brother! Brother!
Brother Raoh! Brother!
If you follow the same path, you will bear the same destiny.
If you are true brothers, then follow different paths.
I will protect the code of the North Star.
I will defeat Raoh!
No. There's a reason why I must defeat Raoh at any cost.
A destiny only Raoh and I know of.
Tell me. What is that destiny?
Toki!
The Death Omen Star. The time of my death is close.
Then let me end my life as a martial artist!
On that day. At that time...
We both became Ryuken's adopted sons on the same day
and started on the path of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
That was the beginning of our destiny.
Toki!
Are you coming, Toki?
Toki!
The cruel destiny of Raoh and Toki!
That unchangeable past
and the union of death have now been cut!
THE SECRET ORIGIN REVEALED!
THE HEAVENS PREFERS TRAGEDY!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
The Secret Origin Revealed!
The Heavens Prefers Tragedy!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
