you set off on a journey
And lost sight of tomorrow

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.
REI OF THE SOUTH STAR WATERFOWL FIST!
THERE WAS A MAN WHO DIED FOR HIS FRIENDS!
I am the Star of Justice from the South Star Six Sacred Fists.
I live for others, and die for others.
Rei...
The first man in this tempest world whom I called a friend.
- Hey, wait up!
- Hey, baby! - Wait up!
- Hey, she's a real beauty! - I'm all excited now!
We've got lots of food!
Be a good girl, and we'll give you plenty.
I see... I'll take that offer!
It's a man?
If I dress as a woman,
maggots like you will tend to swarm around me.
But maggots like you are still quite useful.
You always bring your food right to me!
- Like hell we will! - Who're you?
Me? My name is Rei...
Rei of the South Star Waterfowl Fist!
- Bastard! - Don't!
South Star Waterfowl Fist!
Its movements have the elegance and grace of a bird on water!
But it is a mercilessly lethal art of unparalleled force!
What's wrong, Lin?
You lived your life sacrificing yourself for others.
At first, it was for your abducted little sister, Airi.
This belongs to my sister...
Airi was supposed to wear it for her wedding.
It happened the night before the ceremony.
When I was away, bandits attacked the village...
They killed my parents, and took Airi just as she'd found happiness!
Father!
Airi!
I don't know what he looks like.
All my father told me with his last breath...
Was that he had seven scars on his chest.
Airi might already be dead, but I don't want to believe it!
I can see her crying face.
I can still hear her calling out to me!
I will find the man with seven scars and kill him!
Airi!
Wait!
Hold it!
Thank you, Mamiya.
- Airi... - Brother!
Can you really heal her?
I've touched a pressure point, "Kenmyo."
You'll soon be able to see your brother's face.
Really? Just like before?
You'll be fine. I promise you'll see again.
- Good! - That's great!
Oh, God...
Brother!
- Airi! Can you...? - I can see you!
It's still blurry, but I can see your face!
Ken...
Brother!
Airi!
All right!
After saving your little sister Airi...
you lived for me, Lin, Bat, and Mamiya.
Rei, a man who always lived for justice.
But Rei had also seen the Death Omen Star.
It's said that death will arrive within a year to those who see it.
Today, I can clearly see the Big Dipper.
Even the tiny star that shines alongside it...
Rei hurried to the village where Lin and Airi waited.
But by that point, the village had been swallowed by terror.
What's that?
Ken... I have to... find Ken...
Bat!
- Rei... - What happened?
- The village... - What happened to the village?
- Ken-Oh's Assault Squadron... - What?
Hurry... Lin and Airi-san...
Airi!
Even children must swear loyalty to Ken-Oh-sama.
Brand yourself with his crest.
If you don't want to, we'll have you dance on that...
until you're burned to a crisp.
The choice is yours.
I won't do it! I'll never...
I'll never obey devils like you who prey on the weak!
What?
You've got guts, you little brat!
I will not obey a demon.
Want a hand, little lady?
No need to be afraid!
Hey, who are you?
What's with you, huh?
You're a demon in human form!
What are you...
Rei!
Lin! Hang in there!
Lin!
It's alright... Airi-san is fine.
Lin, you...
Oh, my!
Now that I feel safe, I'm crying! What's wrong with me?
She sacrificed herself so she could protect Airi,
even though she's still just a child!
And look what's happened to her...
Hey! Who the hell are you?
Hey, say something!
You demons!
You will pay.
You..
You bastards!
What color is your blood?
Lin's bravery moved Airi's heart.
Airi, you...
You never even tried to resist someone else.
You only knew how to live like a doll.
I'm not who I used to be! Lin-chan taught me to fight!
I won't give up, Lin-chan!
No matter what, I'll believe in tomorrow and fight!
Airi-san!
Fight all you want, my brother!
I see.
My weakness is gone! Airi doesn't need me anymore.
From now on, she'll live and die by her own will!
Then Rei finally encountered his own fate.
I just have one question.
Have you seen the star adjacent to the Big Dipper?
I have.
Have you?
I see. Then you must have been destined to fight against me.
Very well. Go ahead and attack me as you wish.
What? You won't dismount?
Do you really think that I stand on equal ground with you?
There is no man left in this world...
who can force me to stand on the ground.
Then you can die together with your horse!
- Rei! - Brother!
What the hell was that?
What! His hands never left the reins?
Then what was it that I saw?
I saw countless punches coming at me!
Mastering the essence of true secret techniques...
allows one to clad oneself in pure fighting spiritual energy.
What you saw was the aura of my fighting spiritual energy!
Your aura...
You can't even come close to me.
Then that's all the more reason I must defeat Raoh.
Rei, don't!
I had cast my humanity aside. Airi, I lived only to save you.
I cursed the world, and hated this era.
But then I met Ken, and Toki, Mamiya...
Lin, Bat, all of you...
Rei...
You gave me serenity, peace to a hungry wolf like me.
I was able to be human again.
Rei...
Raoh, I will defeat you here!
You'll willingly fight a futile battle?
Shut up!
Even if I perish, I can't let you live!
How foolish.
What's with that incredible aura Rei's projecting?
Brother, you're going to sacrifice yourself?
Rei!
Battle is the only way I can repay Ken, and all of you.
- Rei... - Brother!
Don't!
South Star Ultimate Technique!
Self-Sacrifice Counterbalance Fist!
Saw right through it.
- Rei! - Brother!
Rei!
So you came, Kenshiro.
Raoh...
Ken!
Rei...
Kenshiro, it's incredible that you've survived to this day...
with your naive view of life!
For that, I praise you.
But those caught up by passion will inevitably...
end up just like this.
Rei!
But Raoh didn't simply kill Rei.
He was too cold and calculating for that.
So you're finally awake.
What's this about?
I gave that man three days to live.
What?
Whenever a valiant warrior defies me...
I don't kill them immediately. Do you know why?
If you kill them quickly, then fear will never spread.
But with three days to reflect,
those men all tremble, grieve, and suffer to the end!
Soon, that terror becomes legend itself...
And the name of Ken-Oh carries all the more credibility!
I've hit his pressure point, "Shinkesshu."
In three days, blood will erupt from all over his dying body.
In the meantime, he can taste the terror of death
that looms closer by the second.
You were righteous as a warrior...
faithful as a brother, and compassionate as a friend.
Rei...
Even your last moments...
were honorable to the Star of Justice...
Everything was sincere.
I am the Star of Enchantment, the Star of Deception.
I'm the strongest and the most beautiful!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
YUDA OF THE SOUTH STAR CRIMSON CRANE FIST!
HIS BEAUTIFUL SMILE CALLS FOR TRAGEDY!
Yuda of the South Star Crimson Crane Fist!
His Beautiful Smile Calls for Tragedy!
Yuda... a man who drowned in himself.
