Toki is determined to fight Raoh.
And Raoh, who's fully recovered, awaits him.
Their fated battle draws near!
THE SECRET ORIGIN REVEALED!
THE HEAVENS PREFERS TRAGEDY!
THE SECRET ORIGIN REVEALED!
THE HEAVENS PREFERS TRAGEDY!
Toki-san, these are your parents...?
That's right.
This is my hometown. I was born and raised here.
And when I die, I will return here...
This grave is mine.
Then what's that one over there?
This grave?
This is where my true brother shall rest.
Brother?
Hey!
Bat?
We're in trouble! I saw huge footprints of a horse over there!
They were this big!
They have to be Kokuoh's!
Raoh...
So he has come.
Remnants from training, huh?
I knew you would be headed here, Toki.
It seems that father and mother wanted us brothers to reunite.
- What?
I thought so.
So those two are real brothers?
I had no idea.
There's no other place to fight you.
How time flies... How many years has it been?
We've both grown a lot since then.
Do you remember that time?
Quite well.
Don't cry, Toki!
Tears won't bring back father or mother.
Brother...
We must be strong.
That's why we've studied martial arts...
- to become strong men! - Right.
There'll be plenty of hardships ahead.
If you're ever about to give up, let these uniforms remind you...
We won't lose to anyone!
We're the strongest brothers in the world!
Right.
So you're Raoh.
Who are you?
I am Ryuken of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Your father asked me to take care of you.
Stand right there.
Toki!
Hang in there!
Toki!
Toki, are you alright?
Hang in there!
Why? Why?
I only promised to adopt one child.
I don't need two.
What...
Brother...
Climb back up!
The one who climbs up to me will be my son.
The weak can't inherit the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Brother, go...
Toki?
I'll be fine.
If he adopts you, you can be...
the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
You can be the strongest man in the world just as you've wanted.
Toki...
Don't worry about me.
I already promised, didn't I? I'm strong too.
Right, brother?
Toki...
He's not coming.
The right pupil is hard to find.
Raoh?
Raoh, you climbed the cliff one-handed?
I won't be adopted without my brother!
I'll take care of Toki myself!
This child...
He may surpass all that I've ever imagined.
Shall we begin?
Raoh, you've grown very strong,
beyond our master Ryuken's imagination.
As have your ambitions!
You will not regret this?
I chose this path myself.
I have no hesitation!
That is indeed my brother, Toki.
Then let us fight on equal ground!
Ken, can't you stop them?
No, no one can come between their blood.
Wow... their arts are completely different!
Motion and stillness. Violence and serenity.
Just like how they've lived their lives...
Indeed, I see no hesitation! I see no fear!
Being near death has improved your style?
What improved my style was not being near death.
Raoh, it was your existence!
What?
Too easy!
You shouldn't be here, Koko. Go away!
Brother...
That's enough for today.
Brother!
Are you alright? Brother!
I'm fine... don't worry.
I won't lose. I'll never give in!
If I gave in, you'd get kicked out, too.
I'll never let that happen!
I want to get stronger!
Just wait and see, Toki!
I'll become the strongest man in the world!
And my name will echo throughout the realms!
You're amazing, brother!
Hey, give it back!
Koko! Koko?
Ko... Koko!
Who would do this?
Oh, is that bird yours?
Why would you do that?
It was a perfect target.
He was a pesky little bird but a solid challenge!
I'm hungry, so I guess I'll eat it later.
You little brat!
Stop...
That's enough, Toki.
Toki, you...
Who would've thought this young brother also had
such a gifted talent as a martial artist?
When did you learn that, Toki?
Were you spying on the dojo?
Do you want to learn the Divine Fist of the North Star as well?
The Divine Fist of the North Star has only one successor.
If you both walk the same path,
one of you will one day have to seal the other's fists.
Can you live with that?
Yes, sir!
Then join us in the dojo from now on.
Yes, sir!
Toki, why?
Because I want to surpass you, brother!
Toki, you've got the same hot blood as me.
I thought you were too gentle for this.
Listen, Toki. If I ever lose my way,
it's your job to seal my fists.
Toki... beneath your calm and tranquil personality lies
a man that is intense as a raging flame.
It's time to fulfill my promise. I will now surpass you!
I expect no less from my brother.
But you will never be able to surpass me!
Pressure points!
Ken! Toki's fists made it through!
No...
Your fists are gentle as always!
You're too soft!
You won't defeat me unless you close in and strike to kill!
Toki got behind him!
This is...
The Blank Mind Shadow Kill.
A deadly art which reads killer intent,
sees through the distance,
and unconsciously thrusts out towards the opponent.
Toki's soft fist style, which lures unguarded moments,
can't defeat Raoh's hard fist style.
Toki! If you wanted to defeat me...
why didn't you learn my hard fist style?
The softness that kept you from walking the path to hard style
will cost you your life!
This duel is as good as over!
Toki!
What? How could you manage to block my fist!
Did Toki use the hard fist style?
Have you forgotten, Raoh?
I aimed to surpass you in every way!
Toki's body!
The blood we share and flows through me,
has led me to seize this art!
You've learned my hard fist style?
I told you. I aimed to surpass you in every way!
Raoh...
I swore I would never use this art until
my last battle, my battle with you!
Look to the heavens!
You should be able to see it... The Death Omen Star!
What? The Death Omen Star shines above me?
No way... they both see the Death Omen Star?
Toki's natural talent has called the Death Omen Star onto Raoh...
Even God himself can't see the outcome of this fated battle!
In the 2,000 year history of the North Star, legend has it that
when two powerful warriors of equal arts face each other,
the Death Omen Star will shine over both of them.
Now... let us bring our fate to a close, Raoh!
Raoh's hard fist style faces Toki's soft fist style!
Which destined brother will the Death Omen Star fall upon?
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
A MAN ONLY CRIES ONCE!
FAREWELL: TOKI!
Farewell, Toki! A Man Only Cries Once!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
