Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
Kenshiro hurries to the South Star capital, where the last general
of the South Star awaits in mysterious iron mask!
Meanwhile,
Ken-Oh, who seeks to rule the century's end,
also drives his troops towards the capital of the South Star.
One of the Five Chariot Stars has appeared to stop him,
Juza of the Clouds!
I've got you!
He hasn't lost his edge...
In fact, his fighting energy and spirit haven't weakened!
A bit shallow...
Juza, Has your soul been revived?
But if your soul and fists have been revived, then I must...
Dismount my steed and fight!
SHOWDOWN: JUZA VS RAOH!
THE LEGEND OF THE INVINCIBLE COMES TO AN END!
Fudo-san.
How much farther is it to the capital of the South Star?
It's at the end of this desert.
Kenshiro-san...
Juza of the Clouds should hold Ken-Oh.
We must reach the capital of the South Star as soon as possible.
Juza stood up for us.
But I wonder... must we really shed more blood?
Don't let your faith waver now. Look at the people of this city.
In this city, people have freedom and equality.
People are attracted to freedom and gather here.
People who have forgotten lightness and peace...
All that is thanks to your strength.
You are the star necessary in this tempest world.
You must shine eternally with strength and warmth.
And that is why we need Kenshiro-sama, no matter what.
Juza and Fudo will both gladly risk their lives for you.
Juza...
- I won't hold back! - You'd lose if you did.
Well said!
Juza, these fists that rule the world will send you to the after life!
He hasn't backed down an inch from Ken-Oh-sama!
What's more, he's closed in without defending himself!
That's what we'd expect from our big brother!
- Ken-Oh is nothing to him! - Just look at his confidence!
In martial arts, fear makes one vulnerable!
Don't you feel any fear?
My martial art is a self-taught style. I risk everything with my fists...
I don't have time to be afraid.
And no one can see through my techniques!
- Alright! - Yeah!
How could you force me, Ken-Oh, to kneel on the ground...
Impressive, Raoh.
Any other men would've died from the first attack.
What? You had the wrong guy?
Do you think you're gonna get away with that?
Whoever this guy with the seven scars is...
Doesn't matter! You picked a fight with us!
You'd better apologize for that!
Apologize? You've got guts telling me to apologize...
Shut the hell up!
This is how you use a katana.
9,997.
Damn you!
How dare you kill my brother! Get him now!
I'll kill you, bastard!
Die!
- I'm so sorry! - We were just fooling around!
9,998.
9,999.
9,997... 9,998... 9,999...
Just one more.
- Fudo-san. - Huh?
Are you okay? I can walk.
I'm fine! No need to worry, Lin-chan!
Hey! Don't I always tell you not to laugh?
Nice and cool! This is the best!
- Have you noticed, Fudo? - Yes. The smell of blood.
Don't you have seven scars on your chest?
I am Gemoni, the strongest man in Ken-Oh's Assassin Squad.
I've killed 9,999 men so far.
One more and it'll be 10,000. You're a lucky man, Kenshiro.
Your head will have the honor of being my 10,000th.
Don't be proud of the number of people you've killed.
You ought to die for being so hopeless.
What?
Your life ends here.
Shut the hell up!
I'll show you my Taishan Style Sword Fighting!
Not bad, Kenshiro! This won't be that easy.
You're definitely worthy of being my 10,000th.
It's useless. I've already seen through your technique.
Shut the hell up!
The battle's just begun!
I'll show you my Taishan Style Sword Fighting secret technique...
The Twin Swords!
Die!
You're not getting away!
You can't dodge me like that!
I've got you!
That won't work on me!
I got you! Here's my 10,000th!
You're already dead.
What?
I can't move my body!
I've struck a secret pressure point, "Ringa".
Your body will move against your will.
Hey, my hands are moving on their own!
Looks like you'll get to be the 10,000th one yourself.
Hey, you've got to be joking!
No way! This can't be!
The clouds... They're floating away.
Huh?
What the heck is that?
That is the castle of the South Star.
Kenshiro-san. The last general of the South Star awaits you.
Now, let us hurry!
Juza! You've become just as strong as I'd expected!
I still remember that day well...
What's wrong, Toki?
Do you see those eggs? I've almost got them.
Then I'll show you a better way.
Brother!
Now, take them.
Huh? They're not here.
What?
Raoh, that's just like you.
Knocking the whole tree down, just to get a few eggs!
Juza!
Then what would you have done?
Me?
I'd just eat them!
Very well!
Take it easy.
Damn you!
Huh?
Juza! Where have you gone?
Do not get mad, Raoh. That only plays into his hands.
Juza is a fearsome one. His talent rivals even your own.
But your style has a weakness!
What's that?
That fighting style you created yourself...
It's powerful on the offensive, but fragile on the defensive!
Not too bad, Raoh.
You're still hiding a secret art, Juza.
Why not try your technique?
My art is a vicious one.
I'll only show my trick once.
He's after a mutual death!
What's he doing?
Koku-Oh!
Calm down!
Whoa!
He stole Koku-Oh!
After him! After him now!
- What's that? - The hell?
Juza! You planned this?
Raoh, I've taken your legs!
I'm not going to die yet!
You can only have fun while you're alive.
You can kiss my ass, Raoh! Smack, smack!
This is how Juza of the Clouds lives his life!
Ken-Oh-sama!
I despise you, Juza! I won't let you have your way!
Hey there!
That was impressive, Juza-sama.
But I doubt this will make Ken-Oh withdraw totally.
- How long should I hold him? - Two days, that should be enough.
Fudo-sama will lead Kenshiro-sama to the last general by then.
I see... two days?
You're a fearsome one, Raoh.
I suppose I'll have to give up my life after all.
Hilka, the man who exploits Fudo's weakness!
A ruthless man now makes his move!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
FUDO IN PERIL!
HURRY: KEN. A MAN MUST NOT ABANDON HIS FRIENDS!
Fudo in Peril!
Hurry, Ken. A Man Must Not Abandon His Friends!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
