The two destined brothers of the North Star,
Raoh and Toki.
Shall we begin?
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!
Toki!
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!
The hard and the soft!
Two great fighters with spirits surging high!
The curtain has risen on their fated showdown!
FAREWELL: TOKI!
A MAN ONLY CRIES ONCE!
The hard kills! The soft gives mercy!
The softness that kept you from walking the path to hard style
will cost you your life!
This duel is as good as over!
What? How could you manage to block my fists!
Did Toki use the hard fist style?
Have you forgotten, Raoh?
I aimed to surpass you in every way!
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!
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.
That blue, death-bringing Death Omen Star...
Who will it fall upon?
Now... let us bring our fate to a close, Raoh!
Toki, you have lived for the sake of all humanity!
Now, for the first time, you are fighting for your own sake.
Very well! Show me if you can surpass your older brother
and break the ambition of Ken-Oh!
Show me your hard fist style!
The hard against the hard...
I know this battle was destined,
but this will be the most vicious fight I've ever seen.
Allow me to bury you with my secret technique, Raoh!
Wow!
The Divine Fist of the North Star Secret Technique:
Fierce Spirit Breath Technique!
It uses hard spirits, pressurized fighting spiritual energy!
It inhales energy to strengthen combat ability,
and exhales that energy in one concentrated burst!
It is a hard style breathing technique!
Hey, Lin!
Raoh's in the air!
Now's my chance!
I've got you! Soaring Hundred Crack Fist!
Toki possesses the most graceful techniques of any man
in the Divine Fist of the North Star's 2,000 year history!
Aerial techniques are his true strength!
Raoh is...!
Raoh.
Had you only thrown away your ambitions back then...
when Kenshiro became the successor...
My brother Raoh, the strongest in the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Had you only thrown away your ambitions, Kenshiro and I
would have gladly given up the path of succession for you.
Farewell, Toki.
Must you?
It's obvious.
The Divine Fist of the North Star has the code of sole succession.
Now that Kenshiro is the successor,
I have no reason to stay here.
The Divine Fist of the North Star is only the first step.
I will seize the heaven and make all martial arts my own!
You're making a mistake, Raoh!
What?
Have you forgotten our promise?
Listen, Toki.
If I ever lose my way, it's your job to seal my fists.
I remember. You'll be the one to seal my fists.
Come and seal it whenever you wish!
Farewell, Raoh!
It's time to fulfill my promise!
Toki!
He won!
No. The Death Omen Star fell on Toki.
- Huh?
Toki...
So this is your hard fist style...
It won't work on me.
It won't, Toki!
He's crying...
Why would Raoh cry?
It won't work, Toki!
Do you think I haven't noticed the secret of your hard fist style?
If you weren't ill and had used the soft fist style,
you may have defeated me!
How heartbreaking, Toki!
How cruel your destiny is, my little brother,
to follow my footsteps since you were little!
Farewell, Toki!
The Death Omen Star will fall upon you!
Toki!
Toki has...!
Toki!
Lin, wait!
Toki!
Not yet...
Toki!
Raoh!
You can no longer fight like that, Toki!
That won't work!
Your technique won't work on me!
That's enough! Stop it, Toki!
This is the secret behind your hard fist style!
Just as I thought, he struck the "sekkatsuko!"
What's that?
Striking the "sekkatsuko" will temporarily gain hard power.
But this brutal pressure point will also risk your life!
In order to master the hard fist style,
Toki struck those pressure points himself!
You wished to surpass me with the hard fist style that desperately?
That's how much you wanted to seal my fists?
Your fists are growing weaker and won't be able to defeat me.
You knew that... and yet...
Toki. I wasn't the one to take your life.
Your illness has already taken it from you.
You almost had too much talent.
How could a man of the North Star fall to illness?
This illness was part of my destiny.
All I can do is to accept it
and fight to the end!
To... Toki!
Why do you cry, Raoh?
You traded those tears for your hard fist style and ambitions!
Don't cry! Don't you ever shed tears again!
Brother...
If you want to surpass me, leave your tears behind!
Your fists need no tears!
Trade them for your wishes and your fists!
I've already abandoned my tears!
For my fists... so I can seize the heavens!
Toki, you must have known that you could not defeat me
with an imitation hard fist style.
Yet you still chose to use the hard fist style just
to be close to your brother.
Even with your body so close to its death.
Toki, your heart is just like it was as a child.
And you had risked your life to pursue me...
Your genuine heart has brought back tears to my dry soul!
Toki...
I have no regrets. Close the chapter of my destiny, Raoh!
Kenshiro! Watch closely!
This is fate!
Two brothers who shared blood both walked the same path and
both sought to become the strongest of warriors!
All of that ends now!
My fist will put an end to it all!
Toki!
This shall be the last time that I will ever shed my tears!
Farewell, my greatest enemy!
Farewell, my dearest brother!
This is the fist that you sought after...
The fist of your older brother, Raoh!
Watch closely and die!
No!
Toki...
Why?
Think of this strike as your brother's hatred
for your sad destiny.
Ra... Raoh...
Toki, the man who sought after Ken-Oh, has just died!
This man here is just Toki battling with illness.
Spend your remaining life in peace.
If you wish to cry, then cry!
I will not blame you any more.
Brother!
Rest your body well, Toki.
- Toki! - Toki!
Toki is dead! And so am I!
Kenshiro!
The terrifying legend of Ken-Oh now begins!
If you wish to take my life, come and get it anytime!
Raoh...
A blue wolf dashes through the wastelands!
With those frozen eyes, what do you see in this century's end?
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
RYUGA OF SIRIUS!
I'LL SEIZE THE RAINBOW IN TEMPEST!
Ryuga of Sirius!
I'll Seize the Rainbow in Tempest!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
