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've been waiting for your return.
Good work.
A WOLF RUNS ON THE HORIZON!
THERE LIES THE END OF LOVE AND HATRED!
Any updates?
I trimmed some rotten branches that might tarnish your legend.
My own men seem to have misunderstood my methods.
Sir, I would prefer not to share my motives...
But my pledge to you remains unchanged.
Ryuga, what reward do you desire?
If you would allow it, I'd like a duel with Kenshiro.
For what reason?
For my star of destiny, Sirius.
Sirius!
When heavens were split into poles, the North Star and the South Star,
Sirius scattered into the heavens.
Isolated and alone, that star is separate from the Six South Stars
but is also distant to the North Star.
I don't understand why this star that has only worked alone
has pledged loyalty to me, and now wishes to fight Kenshiro.
Ken-Oh-sama, please grant me this.
Very well. I have no reason to stop you.
But there is something I wish to see first.
The territories of mine that you controlled in my absence...
I will investigate them with my own eyes.
Yes, sir! Garou!
- Yes, sir! - Guide Ken-Oh-sama.
My pleasure, sir!
Ryuga-sama, I believe this may be your chance.
What are you talking about?
For Sirius to draw its bow against the heavens!
If you defeat Ken-Oh, all of his territories will be yours!
Behold, sir!
We rule this region with terror, as you taught us, Ken-Oh-sama.
It seems your pledge still hasn't changed.
Plunder and kill!
Their desires run wild. What an awful world this is.
Please save me!
How long will this distressing era continue?
This is mine now!
Be quiet!
Ken-Oh rules this village from now on!
Please save us!
Screw you! Who the hell cares about Ken-Oh?
This world needs a great tree.
Terror is needed to rule this chaotic world.
Ken-Oh-sama...
It has been a long time.
Is that you, Ryuga?
Yes, sir. This age calls for you, Ken-Oh-sama of the North Star.
The North Star?
I shall gladly become your blade.
I'd say you made the right decision.
Yes. My only wish is to see the other North Star man,
and judge him for myself.
The other North Star...?
Where are you? Maybe over here?
The boss sure likes to play tag!
He'll grab on to whatever he can find!
Once he has them, he never lets go!
Yeah, he's a hoot.
Please stop this! It's simply too cruel!
What's that?
Come on guys, let's see some smiles!
That's right. Show me your smile.
What the hell?
You'll die in three seconds.
Yeah right! I ain't that old-
Get him!
Hey, I didn't think you'd come to me yourself!
Save us!
Who'll be next?
I gotcha now! Hey, you're pretty solid...
Let's see what you look like!
Hey kid! How are you going to pay for this, huh?
We'll show you what happens when you go against us!
Let's go!
We've appreciated all of your hard work.
What do you mean, Garou-sama?
Ken-Oh-sama's troops will now replace you all.
What! Garou-sama, what's going on?
Why are you panicking?
You're going to hand it all over that easily?
- That's right. - How could you?
We served Ryuga-sama so that he could become the new emperor!
- This is an order from Ryuga-sama. - But that's impossible!
You didn't aspire to take the polar star in my absence?
Sirius was not meant to be the polar star.
Far and away from the North Star, Sirius has never been the polar star.
But, when the fearsome legend of Ken-Oh began...
Ken-Oh-sama!
What are you panicking about?
Well sir, this village is totally different from the others!
No matter how much we make them suffer, they won't resist!
What?
- What's wrong with them? - Damn, that's just creepy!
Huh? What are they...
This is all of the food we have. Please, use it as you like.
Look at this, sir! They've even handed over their food!
Perhaps they're up to something?
- Who is the village leader? - That would be me.
Why do you not resist?
Resistance is an act of violence.
Non-resistance is the only weapon the weak have to protect themselves.
"Weapon", you say?
Then protect the life of this child with your so-called weapon!
Protect him with your smiles!
Come on, save him!
Why are you smiling, kid? Aren't you scared of death?
I am... But they told me to smile! To throw away my own feelings.
What?
Kid, if you are scared, then chew my arm off!
Your trembling won't stop unless you fight!
What?
You're no longer even human once you abandon your will!
What sort of man lives only to smile and beg?
Smile...
Just try and smile!
Please spare me!
Is this non-resistance when you've given up your humanity?
Listen well! Non-resistance will be no defence against Ken-Oh.
What's going on, Ryuga?
I've realized Sirius cannot ever be the polar star.
For only a true conqueror can shine as the polar star.
My loyalty to you has not wavered.
Die, Ken-Oh!
Have you lost your mind, Gyunta?
Leave Ken-Oh to me, Ryuga-sama!
You fool...
It's freezing!
What an amazing technique!
My sincere apologies for that embarrassing display.
You may go, Ryuga.
As you have longed for, go and fight Kenshiro.
Thank you, sir.
Kenshiro is the only man in this world to have wounded me!
Take every precaution.
Yes, sir!
Ryuga-sama...
- Do you have regrets, Garou? - Not at all, sir.
I, too, wish to see where our future is headed...
and to see this man, Kenshiro.
- Come on, crush him! - He'll be squashed flat!
Go to hell!
Please spare our lives...
I'll give you our food, or anything you want!
Please, just let us live!
No need to be afraid.
My baby!
So that is Kenshiro...
Raoh teaches children of terror and battle...
But Kenshiro reaches into their pure and innocent hearts.
Just which of these great trees will this world call for?
The world is moving fast!
This age will not be united without a powerful tree...
So Sirius will gladly become a bloodthirsty wolf to find it!
Ryuga of Sirius!
What is he up to, and what is he after?
The mystery is about to be revealed!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
FORGIVE ME: MY SISTER!
I AM DESTINED TO CLASH WITH THE NORTH STAR!
Forgive Me, My Sister!
I Am Destined to Clash with the North Star!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
