Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
Ken-Oh burns with ambition to rule the century's end!
Shuren of the Flame, a man of the Five Chariot Stars,
now stands in his way.
I see...
Your flame isn't strong enough to turn my ambition to ash!
THE FIVE CHARIOT STARS APPROACHES KENSHIRO!
WHO ARE YOU: FUDO?
The Flame Brigade opposes us!
Wipe them out completely!
Not one will get away!
Shuren-sama's flames have already burnt out!
Prepare yourselves, everyone!
Ken-Oh-sama!
Though we've suffered many losses,
we wiped out the Flame Brigade.
Well done.
I'd like to meet this last general of the South Star Sacred Fist...
Huh? What's that?
Daddy, look at that!
Hey, I'm not a little kid! I look stupid, let me down!
Don't you worry about that!
Stop laughing! We're falling off!
Somebody please catch her! It's my precious chicken!
Why not.
Hey mister, you can't be...
- What? I'm going to catch it. - You idiot! It's impossible!
Just watch.
Hold still...
Oops.
Aw, man...
I wonder if he's alright?
- What's going on? - Get out!
What a klutz!
See? I caught it!
Jeez. He's hopeless.
Well, thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
You've sure got a lot of them.
I've never seen so many!
I've been rounding them up...
for my daughter waiting back at my village.
Your daughter?
She's been ill for a long time, and she never gets out of bed.
So I'm going to give her plenty of eggs
to help her get her stamina back.
I thought good nutrition might do the trick.
- Oh, my! - Wow, that's nice of you.
What? That's only natural for a parent, isn't it?
That's how a parent's love is.
- Don't be so humble! - That's nice of you!
People can't do what's only natural.
That's how distressing the world is that we live in.
Good luck, mister!
Your daughter's waiting for you to come home!
It's only a little further now. I'll make it back by tomorrow.
I can't wait to see my daughter's happy face.
Oh, of course!
This is just a little thank-you.
Eggs!
This is all I have now, but please share and eat them.
Well, this is goodbye.
- Take care! - See you, mister!
That guy was pretty generous!
Aw, what a waste!
You don't get to eat eggs these days...
Here, eat mine.
You shouldn't! That was Bat's own fault!
Are you sure? What are you going to eat?
I'm fine. Here!
Are you really sure?
You're a good guy, mister! You're going to live long!
Bat, at least be humble...
Mister, where are you going?
Oh, it's just nature calling.
Look at that!
That man has the Five Chariot Stars on his arm!
This is not good!
- The Five Chariot Stars? - You mean... of the South Star?
The Five Chariot Stars. I've heard of them...
Oh, the heaven help us please...
It couldn't be...
The South Star Five Chariot Stars.
I see... so Shuren and the Flame Brigade are both...
Yes, sir.
Shuren-sama burned up gloriously without a moment of hesitation.
The brigade was completely wiped out as well.
So even Shuren's determination could not defeat Ken-Oh.
Rihaku-sama is concerned
that Ken-Oh may eventually reach our last general.
Shuren, Hyui... I won't let your deaths be in vain.
With my life, I will protect the South Star general!
Wh... What's all this?
Who're you?
Get him!
Roger that!
- Is that guy still following us? - You're so rude!
He's one of the Chariot Stars! Who knows what he'll do?
No! He doesn't look like a bad person to me!
What's the matter, Ken?
Something's wrong.
Bat!
This is...
Bat, that's the old man who gave us the eggs!
How cruel can you be...
- Hang in there, mister! - Get some water, quickly!
- He's conscious! - Hang in there!
It's you...
I won't be able to make it back to the village...
My daughter...
I can't see my daughter...
And she's waiting for me...
My dau...
Mister!
That's so cruel!
He was looking forward to getting home so badly!
I don't know how long it's been since I ate chicken!
The flavor's so mild, it not too heavy at all.
But it's really well-balanced, so it still feels rich!
Hey bro!
Let's eat up and get some energy, then we'll run wild!
The best way to live a decent life in the century's end...
Is to steal other people's stuff.
Listen, guys!
If you work real hard,
good things will come to you! You got that, guys?
- Right! - We will!
Are you the ones who killed the man with the chickens?
Yeah, I did it myself! One stab was all it took!
Went down easy, huh?
Yeah. A sitting duck with chickens, we scored big!
What an idiot.
Is that chicken good?
Shut the hell up! Of course it is!
That chicken carried a man's hopes!
It's not for you bastards!
You can pay for it with your life!
What are you... The bill collector?
I was just joking! You can have this!
You look serious...
Come on, take this and let me go!
Kogure-sama has the rest, so why not get his...
What's going on?
It's him! Him!
What's wrong?
This is...
The Divine Fist of the North Star! That makes you... Kenshiro!
Kenshiro? The one who defeated King?
He's the one who crushed Souther's empire!
The man with the seven scars?
This is great.
I hear that if we beat you, we get to join Ken-Oh's forces!
And the main unit, too!
It won't just be chicken, either! We'll get all the food we can eat.
We'll do whatever we want!
We won't have to wander around in this desert!
What a pathetic dream.
I'm sure you'll all wake up once you've landed in Hell.
Shut the hell up! Get him!
Finish him off!
Is it over?
You're next.
Damn it... Guzuri!
Jira!
Naburi!
Let's go! The four of us will get him!
Taishan Style Four Bundled Fists!
- Ken! - Ken!
Their movements are calculated and coordinated carefully!
This won't be easy, even for the Divine Fist of the North Star.
In the Four Bundled Fists, four fight as one!
We've survived this savage world with this art!
- It's the end for you, Kenshiro! - You should be seeing Hell by now!
- Bro! - Bro!
The more the four of you move, the more signals are needed.
And you're the one giving those signals!
I've struck a pressure point called "Keisetsu".
You can't even blink now!
- Bro! - Brother Kogure!
What's the matter? Can't fight without instructions?
But why? You don't even know the name of that guy we killed!
Yeah! What are you so angry about?
It's because he was a man with no name.
All he ever wanted was a little bit of happiness.
I can't forgive you for taking it away from him!
Your movements are forever uncoordinated!
But at least you can die together.
Ken! Heads up!
Look out!
Five Chariot High Mountain Cut!
He's a martial artist!
Mister, who the heck are you?
Kenshiro-san... I am here to bring you in.
I chose to be anonymous so I could watch you closely.
I beg your forgiveness...
I am one of the Five Chariot Stars, Fudo of the Mountains!
The last general of the South Star Six Sacred Fists awaits you.
The last general of the South Star Six Sacred Fists...
- Huh? - The last general?
I have left Kenshiro to the Mountain...
Only Ken-Oh remains.
What is Ken-Oh up to now?
Ken-Oh is still not aware of this capital of the South Star.
But his troops continue to advance. Someday, they will even come here.
Then we must stop Ken-Oh, no matter what!
Yet the Wind and the Flame have already fallen...
- That only leaves... - Father, do you mean...
Yes, that's right.
There is no one else... the man of the Cloud.
Juza...
Brother Juza!
Brother!
You got a letter from a guy named Rihaku of the Ocean.
From Rihaku?
"Juza of the Cloud, make your move."
"Stop Ken-Oh's advance."
How stupid.
Brother Juza...
I'm free.
I don't care about that boring stuff.
I am a cloud. Endlessly free.
I don't care about that South Star crap.
Kenshiro heads towards the South Star!
But one of the Five Chariot Stars denies his destiny!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
THE CRISIS IS NEAR!
KEN, DESTINY AWAITS AT THE CAPITAL OF THE SOUTH STAR!
The Crisis Is Near!
Ken, Destiny Awaits at the Capital of the South Star!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
