HOLY EMPEROR SOUTHER!
YOUR DEEP AFFECTION CONSUMES YOU IN LOVE!
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, they were split into
those who sought peace and those who desired conquest.
The man who caused South Star Six Sacred Fists to collapse
was the Star of Enchantment, Yuda.
When one star fades away, so do the other five.
This created countless tragedies in this world.
The Star of Sacrifice, Shin.
The Star of Justice, Rei.
The Star of Enchantment, Yuda.
The Star of Benevolence, Shu.
And the one who secretly controlled Yuda,
and truly destroyed the South Star Six Sacred Fists,
the Star of Leadership, Souther.
Hey! Pull it like you mean it!
Like you mean it, damn it!
My Holy Cross Mausoleum will soon be complete.
Souther-sama.
The town of Ul has fallen.
The entire D region is already under your control, my lord.
Well done.
But I do not desire something as trifling as that.
I seek to seize this entire world of the century's end.
I am Souther, the Holy Emperor.
Even Ken-Oh, Raoh, has avoided a battle with me.
I am Souther, the Holy Emperor!
Drive the troops forward! Plunder the earth bare!
Bring every land beneath the banner of the Holy Emperor!
You children are the lights that seek to shine in the future.
Live strong...
Live strong!
Shu-sama...
Shu-sama!
That kid...
What did he...?
That brat!
See this!
Feelings for Shu has driven even a child to go insane.
Because of love, people must suffer!
Because of love, people must grieve!
Because of love... Because of love...
As an orphan, I was left in the care of Ohgai,
the successor to the South Star Phoenix Fist.
Ohgai, having no children, raised me as his own.
Sensei!
Good work, Souther.
The training was rough...
but I never considered it painful.
Sensei!
Well done, Souther!
I endured any lesson no matter how harsh it was.
All for the sake of the peaceful sensation of his warm hands...
that rewarded me after mastering a new technique.
And when I turned fifteen...
Listen, Souther.
Now you must defeat the enemy that attacks you.
This will be your first serious battle.
And you must fight blind folded!
Don't hold back!
This is the trial of succession.
Sensei!
Well done, Souther.
Why? You could have pulled back.
If you'd pulled back, you could have avoided my strike!
No...
Your sharp strike was too swift for me to dodge.
Sensei!
Ohgai-sensei!
I have nothing left to teach you.
Sensei!
Do not cry.
The polar star of the South Star,
the South Star Phoenix Fist, also has
the order of a sole successor.
To be defeated by the new successor...
is part of our fate...
The true path to succession has no room for sympathy.
Sensei!
I have no regrets.
I saw the polar star of the Southern Cross in your eyes.
Sensei...
Sensei!
Why?
If... If it's this distressful...
If it's this painful...
I don't... I don't need love!
I must tell you about the Holy Emperor.
The collapse of the South Star Six Sacred Fists
began with the Star of Enchantment, Yuda's ambitions
but Souther set him in motion.
Souther?
Souther has been waiting for the end of century of this world.
Souther's star is the polar star of the Southern Cross.
Also known as the Star of Leadership or the Star of Tyranny.
A star with no friends or family...
All he has is himself as the Star of Emperor.
The other five stars merely orbit around him.
The South Star Sacred Fist cannot defeat Souther.
The mystery of my body...
Your pulse and the flow of your blood helped me solve it.
What nonsense is this?
The Holy Emperor's right shoulder is...!
Your heart is on the opposite side,
and your pressure points are reversed... front and back!
That is the mystery of your body!
You think so, Kenshiro?
Just what I'd expect from the successor
to the Divine Fist of North Star, Kenshiro.
But that doesn't mean you've solved my mystery!
I suppose that as the successor to the polar star of the South Star,
I must use my secret techniques as well.
Look at the Holy Emperor!
It's the South Star Phoenix Fist.
South Star Phoenix Fist secret technique:
Heaven Soaring Cross Phoenix!
There are no stances in South Star Phoenix Fist
of the Holy Emperor!
Enemies bow before me!
But when a worthy opponent appears,
the emperor must leave his palace and face the opponent.
In other words, this Heaven Soaring Cross Phoenix,
is an unbeatable technique which risks the emperor's own pride!
Then allow me to return the honor!
This is a hidden secret technique of Divine Fist of the North Star,
the Heaven Breaking Stance!
The Divine Fist of the North Star secret technique:
Heaven Breaking Stance!
The Heaven Breaking Stance.
The seven stars of the Big Dipper protects the heaven.
It's said when the heaven is in disarray,
this ultimate secret technique can destroy the heaven itself!
- What's all this?
What the hell is this?
The heaven is thrilled to see this destined battle!
They are both using their hidden secret techniques.
Now it's up to their abilities as to who will win.
The heaven has no place for two polar stars!
The Divine Fist of the North Star Secret Technique:
Heavens Impalement!
What's this?
The secret technique Heavens Impalement uses
the fighting spiritual energy to strike pressure points
without touching them!
The Star of Leadership must fall!
It's over.
So my armor is stripped and even my wings are clipped.
However... I am the Holy Emperor Souther!
The emperor of the six South Stars!
I never retreat! I never beg! And I never look back!
The emperor cannot be defeated!
North Star Merciful Shock Wave!
You bastard...
You used a merciful technique that cause no pain.
Are you going to kill me with sympathy?
So the dream of the phoenix, the Holy Emperor, has crumbled.
I have one last thing to ask you.
Love and compassion only lead to sadness.
Then why do you seek to bear that sadness?
Why do you seek to bear that suffering?
It's not just sadness and suffering.
I'm sure you remember the warmth as well.
The warmth?
Your life is over now.
I urge you to pick your place of death.
I've lost. Completely defeated.
The successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
You were a worthy opponent.
Look at the Holy Emperor's face.
He looks just like a child.
Yeah.
Ohgai-sensei.
Sensei...
Give me the warmth again as you did long ago.
Such a man of sorrow you are...
to have the deepest love than any other.
Souther.
A man who refused to love because he had the deepest affection.
The Star of Sacrifice, Shin.
The Star of Justice, Rei.
The Star of Enchantment, Yuda.
The Star of Benevolence, Shu.
And the Star of Leadership, Souther.
Only one star remains.
Who is the last star of the South Star Six Sacred Fists?
And what destiny awaits the successor to
the Divine Fist of the North Star, Kenshiro?
Over the conquest of the century's end,
the destinies of the North and South Stars stir up the chaos.
Turn grief into rage.
PART FOUR: THE FINAL CHAPTER
The last man of the South Star Six Sacred Fists
awaits Kenshiro!
The final chapter begins at last!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
RAOH MUST DIE!
THE LEGEND TURNS TO TERROR!

Raoh Must Die!
The Legend Turns to Terror!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
