Ryuga became an evil wolf and kidnapped Toki.
Then Kenshiro challenged him to a battle!
Why commit this senseless murder?
Fight me, Kenshiro!
Fight me and you'll understand.
SHIN OF THE SOUTH STAR!
YOU RISKED YOUR LIFE FOR A LOVE UNREQUITED!
The blood running on the floor is Ryuga's own.
They're his tears!
Ryuga, who sought true peace,
chose to become an evil wolf starved for blood.
Now that Ken-Oh is coming closer to seizing the heavens,
he ended his role as an evil wolf himself.
He was yet another man driven by destiny.
Do not grieve, Kenshiro.
Change that grief into anger, and live.
Ken-Oh's power comes from conquest and terror.
But true peace lies only in your hands.
Change grief into anger...
Let us go, Ryuga!
We'll join the others who lived their lives driven by destiny.
We shall become the stars and watch Kenshiro from above
alongside those brave men.
Toki...
Farewell, Kenshiro.
Toki...
Why do people fight?
It's such a sad thing.
Toki...
It seems like Ken always becomes stronger after experiencing sadness.
Turn grief into anger...
Watch me from the heavens above, Toki...
Ryuga, and the men of the South Star Six Sacred Fists!
A long time ago, there were guards that defended
the six gates of the imperial palace.
They stood atop the 108 styles of the South Star Sacred Fist,
and were known as the South Star Six Sacred Fists.
But after the nuclear war, the South Star Six Sacred Fists collapsed.
The seeds of tragedy were thus scattered throughout the world.
Shin, you're the man who set me on the journey of my destiny.
Ever since the time we fought over Yuria...
Ken!
There's a fatal difference between you and I.
And that is... obsession. It's something you lack!
Obsession gives rise to power.
Yuria, tell me you love me.
No way! If Ken died, I would die too!
Oh?
How many before Kenshiro dies?
Live, Yuria! Live on for me!
- Ken! - Die!
Wait!
Don't, Yuria!
I will love you.
What? I can't hear you!
Yuria!
I will love you!
I'll follow you anywhere for the rest of my life!
Yuria!
- Ken! - Yuria!
But I came back from the depths of Hell.
I came for Yuria... To take Yuria back.
In this age ruled by violence...
Ken!
Only battle awaited me.
Don't mess with me!
What's happening?
Neck-Twisting, Face-Breaking Punch!
You got him!
That didn't hurt at all!
You're already dead.
Stop dreaming! This fight's still...
Five Finger Explosive Burst!
What the hell did you do?
I struck one of your hidden pressure points, "Meimon."
You will die in thirty seconds.
Are you serious?
The tension of your muscles will snap your spine in half.
Twenty seconds left.
No! Please, save me!
I'm sure all those villagers said the same thing.
- I don't want to die! - Fall into a dreamless sleep.
Hey, wait! Save me!
I don't want to die! Wait!
- It's no use. - I'll say it again!
The Fist of the North Star is invincible!
My stomach...
The North Star Death by Soft Strikes!
I've hit one of your secret pressure points.
You're already dead.
Shin.
He fought battle after battle, expanding his territory,
and called himself "King".
Die!
Soon, Yuria.
Soon I shall give you a brilliant city.
Everything in this city will be yours.
You'll be a queen! All will kneel before you.
Your feelings will change then. I'm certain they will!
Shin, you had power, authority and wealth.
You devoted everything to Yuria alone.
Was that the only way you could express your love?
You were such a sad man.
But Shin's glory days were meaningless.
His men rebelled. The city of Southern Cross burned.
The splendor he built by force all collapsed in the flames.
At last, the time finally came for me to fight Shin.
Where is Yuria?
Why not come see for yourself?
Yuria...
Yuria says she's already forgotten about you.
That's fine, as long as she's still alive...
Kenshiro, I've already defeated you once!
It will end the same this time.
But it might be fun cutting you to pieces before the woman you love!
You're gotten better at dodging.
But you can't see through my techniques!
Kenshiro, I'll send you straight back to Hell...
South Star Thousand Dragon Head Attack!
What?
As I thought, you're no longer the man I once knew...
But why?
It's obsession.
What changed me was obsession, something you taught me!
You are no match for me now. Give up.
Your obsession means nothing to me!
Shin, I can see your every move. You cannot win.
Don't you dare talk down to me!
Hell's Death Fist of the South Star!
Flying Defensive Fist of the North Star!
Impossible...
Will you give Yuria back?
You've certainly shown me your obsession.
But what if I were to cut off the source of that obsession?
Yuria!
Yuria, you are beautiful even in death...
Yu... Yuria.
Even if you defeat me, Yuria is gone.
Your obsession has been destroyed!
Kenshiro...
Shin... I will kill you!
Die!
North Star Cross Slash!
Why?
What defeated your secret technique... was rage.
Rage that surpasses obsession.
Rage...
How much time do I have to live?
I hit your pressure points in the shape of the Bloody Cross.
You will die with your own emblem engraved in your chest.
You have three minutes.
Yuria!
What's this?
That's right, our fight isn't over yet.
This is just a doll! What's the meaning of this?
Shin!
She's gone... Yuria is already gone.
The battle between us will never be resolved.
Southern Cross is burning. Your city is burning.
The grass, the trees, the citizens in this city...
they were all yours.
But don't worry, Yuria. I'll build a new city.
What?
It will be greater and more extravagant than Southern Cross.
A kingdom suitable for you to rule as Queen.
I'll do it. I can do it with you at my side!
And you'll repeat everything you've done?
Or even worse than before?
As long as my feelings towards you don't change...
you'll keep doing this, won't you?
Countless innocent people will die again...
I can't stand it anymore!
Yuria? What are you...
Ken... I couldn't keep my promise to you!
It can't be... Why? Why?
Why!
Yuria!
I cried. For the first time in my life, I cried.
To the very end, I could never capture Yuria's heart...
Because you were always there, inside of her heart.
Southern Cross, the city I built for Yuria,
has turned to ashes. Southern Cross is now her tomb...
Behold, Yuria's grave. The city of Southern Cross!
But this city, wealth, power... it all meant nothing to me.
I've only ever wanted one thing...
Yuria!
It seems that this is the end for me.
But I won't be killed by your technique!
Kenshiro...
Farewell!
Shin!
Shin, man of the Star of Sacrifice.
The star of destiny that died for Yuria's love.
Shin, were you able to reunite with Yuria in heaven?
The South Star warrior with graceful, sharp techniques.
A man who lived and died for others!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
REI OF THE SOUTH STAR WATERFOWL FIST!
THERE WAS A MAN WHO DIED FOR HIS FRIENDS!
Rei of the South Star Waterfowl Fist!
There Was a Man Who Died for His Friends!
Farewell Rei, the man of the Star of Justice.
