Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
THE CRISIS IS NEAR!
KEN, DESTINY AWAITS AT THE CAPITAL OF THE SOUTH STAR!
The Five Chariot Stars protect the polar star of the South Star.
Kaze, kumo, honou, yama, umi...
They are... The Wind.
The Clouds.
The Flames.
The Mountains.
The Ocean.
So that the last general of the South Star Six Sacred Fists
may shine eternally...
We, the Five Chariot Stars, dance throughout the heavens...
And run across the land.
For that purpose, we would all gladly be crushed into pieces.
The last general of the South Star awaits you.
Why would the last general of the South Star want me?
The North Star and the South Star are two sides of the same coin.
When the two unite, this chaotic world will be at peace.
Our general has chosen you over Ken-Oh as the North Star.
The savior of the century's end, rather than the ruler of it.
But I am no savior.
I just want to seal Raoh's... No, Ken-Oh's fists...
For breaking the code of the North Star.
Let's go.
- Hold on, Ken! - One moment, please.
You must meet the last general of the South Star.
That is your destiny!
My destiny, you say?
I cannot speak any further for yet...
But please trust me, Fudo of the Mountains,
and come to the capital of the South Star to meet our general!
Fudo, I'll trust the light in your eyes.
Then...
Let's go to the capital of the South Star.
Right!
Reporting.
Kenshiro-sama has joined Fudo-sama of the Mountains...
and is bound for the capital of the South Star.
All that's left is to wait for Juza of the Clouds to move.
Toh, still no response from Juza?
No, not yet.
I see.
Juza is the only one left who can stop Ken-Oh's advance.
You must fight, Juza. Fight for our general's sake...
Let go!
Help me!
Dalka-sama, we have just returned.
Good work.
Well, let's see the goods.
Well? Nothing but beauties, don't you agree?
Now that Ken-Oh's forces are all over the place,
it was quite a task gathering this many...
Let's see...
What do you think?
I like them!
That's good to hear, sir!
This village should have no shortage of women for a while!
I'm a happy man!
Rain?
There!
Hey bastard! That was laundry water!
Looks like I splashed water onto a bullfrog...
No detergent could fix that ugly face!
You bastard, what are you trying to pull?
You'll have a hell of a time when you make Dalka-sama angry!
Punk, get down here! I'll rip you apart!
- Hey, bastard! - Come down here!
If you want me that badly, I guess I may as well.
The women now belong to me, Juza of the Clouds!
- Juza of the Clouds? - That's him?
That infamous tough guy who snatches up any woman he sees?
It's not just women. He spares nothing in his path!
Oh, you know about me? But you forgot one thing...
Though rarely seen, he's a handsome young man!
How long are you going to stay on my face, bastard!
You idiot!
Hey, what're you doing? Let go of me.
Like hell I will! I'll smash you into the ground!
Dumb frog, all you had to do was hold still.
Quit babbling and die!
You leave me no choice!
Moron.
You don't know how terrifying I am, do you?
Nope, no idea.
Bastard, do I look like a fool!
Do you have to ask with a face like that?
What!
- And there he goes. - Brother Juza does what he wants.
It's too late to apologize. I'll make you pay!
Enough with the crap! Just bring it.
Take this! Huashan Horn Wrestling Palm Strike!
You're not getting away this time!
Is that so?
So long!
I'm taking the women now. Any more challengers?
No, no! Go right ahead!
Good girls. There's more than I can carry!
Sorry! The rest of you can walk.
What's the matter? Do you want to stick around?
You'll have a lot more fun with this handsome man!
- He's right. - Hardly a touch choice.
- Listen up! - What?
We're in trouble!
The food shed's gone! Everything's been taken!
What?
Here!
What...
What? No!
- Bye! - See ya!
- What a guy! - Our women, our food...
They grabbed everything we nabbed!
What a horrible villain!
The capital of the South Star is due south from here.
Under the last general of the South Star,
it's a city of freedom.
Places like that still exist in this era?
I don't believe it...
You'll understand once you get there!
Whoa! Be careful!
When you laugh, it's dangerous! Come on!
Boss, here comes a target!
Stop!
We're with Ken-Oh's troops. Let us check your luggage.
We're not suspicious people.
We're just delivering food and liquor to a town nearby...
You're not hiding any weapons, are you?
Of course not!
Hey, search them.
Well, looks like they're clean.
- Alright, you may pass. - Thank you very much.
I only said "you" could pass.
What do you mean?
We haven't checked your things. Leave them here.
No way...
It's just food and liquor. There's nothing else...
We need to check it thoroughly, so leave it!
- We can't do that! - Shut the hell up!
You don't appreciate my generosity for letting you pass?
Would you dare defy Ken-Oh-sama's troops?
But this food is a delivery for Ken-Oh's troops.
Are you...
Well, we've been found out! Guess I have no choice.
A drink is best after a hard day at work!
- Boss, nice going. - That was impressive.
It's their fault for not taking the hint and playing along.
Boss, I see another one coming!
Can't wait to see what we score this time!
Stop!
We're Ken-Oh's troops.
We're his retainers!
Ken-Oh's troops?
Like hell! They don't dress like that!
This road belongs to Ken-Oh-sama.
Suspicious types will not pass.
- Down you go. - Suspicious types?
Yeah, it turns out a bunch of radicals have been defying Ken-Oh-sama...
like Kenshiro, and men of the Five Chariot Stars!
But I doubt wimps like you have anything to do with that.
Where's the food you're hiding?
Food? Why?
Leave the food, and we'll let you pass.
And if you don't, we'll drop you off the cliff.
I've got a question first. What kind of man is Kenshiro?
Let's see... he's got seven scars on his chest, and two kids with him...
Kids like us?
Yeah! Just like you brats!
What about the men of the Five Chariot Stars?
They've got stars markings on their arms, I hear...
Markings like this?
Yeah, it's like that!
Hurry up, hand over the food!
Would you defy Ken-Oh-sama's forces?
Would you shut up about Ken-Oh?
What was that, you...
What the hell... Seven scars on his chest!
If you've figured it out, get your hands off.
Ke... Kenshiro!
You phony troops! We knew it all along!
Move it! These roads don't belong to anyone.
We owe you no toll.
We're hard-core criminals who've survived this chaotic world!
We'll send you to Hell, on behalf of Ken-Oh!
What should we do?
It's Kenshiro! The smartest thing to do would be to run away!
If we offer his head to Ken-Oh,
we'll be rewarded with any position as we want!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance! Get him!
- Alright, I'll do it! - No, I'm first!
Kenshiro-san, let me clean up the trash.
Stay back, I can handle this myself.
What!
Die!
You think you can lay a finger on me with that?
Shut the hell up!
Die!
You all reek of blood. I'm sure you've killed plenty!
Don't give me that crap! This is a dog eat dog world!
Son of a...
- Hey! - Ken, look out!
Neck-Twisting, Face-Breaking Punch!
Mountain Splitting Wave!
Villains who plunder and kill using Ken-Oh's name...
Bring it on.
You don't scare me! I'm a hard-core villain!
Get him! Kill him!
Hey wait! Don't run! I said don't run!
Boss, so long! Good luck!
Take it easy on me! I won't do it again!
I'll repent!
I'll make an honest living from now on, I swear!
He sounds serious. Let us forgive him.
Mister, don't let that scumbag fool you!
You idiot!
I'm a hard-core villain!
I'll fight alone, if I have to!
You don't scare me!
You don't...
What a loser. He fell on his own!
Hard-core, my ass!
With the world in chaos, small time thugs like them flourish.
Kenshiro-san, this is all the more reason...
you must meet with the last general of the South Star.
What?
You're all married? With kids, too?
Yes, so we must go back... Please let us return to town!
We beg of you.
I was looking forward to having some fun with you girls...
Well...
It's fine, whatever... just go!
What?
Take that and go wherever you want.
Thank you so much!
- Thank you very much! - Go on, get out of here!
- Thank you very much! - Thank you very much!
What did I do wrong?
You're still here? Get...
Juza-sama!
Oh hey, you're Rihaku's men!
What's up? Why so short on breath?
The letter from Rihaku-sama...
Yeah, I got that.
Then please, accept his request!
Juza-sama, you're the only one who can stop Ken-Oh.
Please accept his request...
What a pain! I don't bow to anyone...
I don't take orders, either.
I just eat and drink whenever I feel like it.
Juza-sama...
I'm stuffed!
I just live life freely like the clouds.
Juza-sama, I beg of you! The situation is grave!
- Please, lend us your strength. - I refuse!
Juza-sama!
Then at least have a meeting...
with the last general of the South Star.
The general?
What? A man of the Five Chariot Stars has joined with Kenshiro?
Yes, sir! They're headed south.
Why Kenshiro?
Perhaps I should meet the last general of the South Star myself.
Finally, the destiny shared by the last South Star general...
and Juza of the Clouds will be revealed!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
I AM JUZA OF THE CLOUDS!
I SHALL MOVE WITH THE FLOW OF TIME!
I Am Juza of the Clouds!
I Shall Move with the Flow of Time!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
