Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
Raoh, the eldest brother of the North Star style,
is also known as Ken-Oh, the ruler of the century's end!
Burning with ambition,
Raoh has almost completed his fearsome empire.
However, the mysterious men of the Nanto Five Chariot Stars,
have made their move!
Hyui of the Wind...
Fool who draws his bow upon me, the King of Fists!
The North Star will never control the heavens.
The one who will conquer all,
is our last general of the South Star Six Sacred Fists!
The last warrior of the South Star Six Sacred Fists?
The deadly North Star endangers our South Star...
Ken-Oh! Your life is in my hands!
Your weak fist won't even scratch this body!
Shuren of the Flame...
Ken-Oh!
You will burn to death with Shuren of the Flame!
- Ken-Oh-sama is captured! - The flames will burn him!
- Ken-Oh-sama! - Ken-Oh-sama!
Fudo of the Mountains...
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 Mountain!
The last general of our South Star Six Sacred Fists awaits you.
And Juza of the Clouds...
Very well. I, Juza of the Clouds, shall give my life to you!
The last general of the South Star Six Sacred Fists
is concealed behind an iron mask!
What is on the last general's mind?
What of Rihaku of the Ocean, their strategist?
Mystery leads to mystery! Fate leads to fate!
Amidst the North Star and South Star's disarray,
their intensive battles continue!
If you understand, take your hands off.
Rise, Kenshiro!
Become the savior in the wasteland of the century's end!
TREACHEROUS QUICKSAND!
WILL THE HAND OF SALVATION REACH FUDO?
You know the terror of this quicksand!
You can't mean... Don't do anything stupid!
Do it!
How could they do that!
Help!
- Help us! - Help!
- Father Fudo! - Father Fudo!
So what are you going to do?
Father Fudo!
It's no use... We can't save them!
- Dad! - Dad!
Tanji! Jiro!
Dad!
I knew it! Being soft is your biggest weakness!
Even with your strength of a thousand men,
your compassion makes it meaningless!
I won't abandon you boys! You kids are the future!
Just hold on tight! Your dad's right here!
- Dad! - Everything is fine now.
So long, Fudo!
- Fudo-san! - Mister!
Mister!
I'm scared!
Kenshiro-sama? We serve Rihaku-sama.
We'll escort you to the castle of the general.
Kan, is that you? What's wrong? What happened!
The kid's siblings were taken by Ken-Oh's men.
- My brothers, Tanji and Jiro... - What?
Kan, Tanji, and Jiro... They're all Fudo-sama's sons.
- What? - They're not the only ones.
Fudo-sama, with his kind heart...
adopts abandoned children from across the world and raises them.
Those kids are happier having Fudo-sama as a parent...
than parents they've never known.
- A person named Hilka... - What?
- Hilka? - Who's that?
He's said to be the most ruthless among Ken-Oh's men.
He's also related to Tanji and Jiro.
It can't be!
Let's go! Fudo and his kids are in danger!
But, no matter what, you must get to the capital of the South Star.
Please hurry, to the general of the South Star!
Look at that, sir.
The general's castle is that close by.
We must not let the general shed tears over Ken-Oh!
The general's tears are no different from this child's tears.
Kenshiro-sama!
Hey, Kenshiro!
This was a trap to lure you out. Get him!
Here!
Fudo-san, quick! Grab onto the branch!
He did it!
- We're sinking! - I'm scared!
The more you move, the deeper you sink!
That's how a quicksand work!
- Darn it... - Fudo-san!
Fudo-san!
What should we do, mister?
Forgive me! I promised Kenshiro-san,
but I still got you two involved! Hurry up and get out of here!
Finish them off. Start with the kids!
- Huh? - Huh?
Run! Quickly, please!
- Lin! - Fu... Fudo-san!
I'm sorry...
Don't worry, mister! We've get Ken!
Those kids need you, mister!
I know! These kids are my precious sons!
Ken!
What the...?
Ken!
Kenshiro-san! Why did you come back?
So that's Kenshiro?
Fudo-sama! Grab hold of this!
You'd forsake your own future? Even our general's future?
I don't believe in a future built on blood and tears!
If it is my fate to meet this general, then we will someday!
Now hurry and climb up!
You think you can pull a 660-pound man...
Out of quicksand so easily?
- Damn, they're not coming up! - Fudo-sama!
Hang in there, Fudo!
Do it!
You guys!
Fudo-sama!
Well? Is it painful?
If you want to save the kids, throw them out of the quicksand!
But they'll get skewered!
Ken!
That scumbag!
Hilka...
Have you gone so low you'd abandoned your human emotions?
I ditched that long ago!
I won't let these children die!
Whatever you do, you won't save them now!
- Fudo-san is sucking in air! - What's he trying to do?
He's blinding us with a sand storm!
Kenshiro-san! Please catch them!
Nice try! Shoot, shoot!
Ken!
Kenshiro-san!
Hold on tight!
Even two men couldn't pull someone that huge!
You're trying with only your left arm? Moron!
Ken!
- Father Fudo! - Dad!
Tanji, Jiro!
Incredible. He pulled him out only with his left arm...
Kenshiro-san!
The pain of these wounds will last only a second.
The pain of your death would last a lifetime.
Kenshiro-san...
You're a fool to come all the way back!
I have no time to deal with you! Let's settle this quickly.
You talk big... let's go!
Kenshiro-san, watch out! They control those sashes at will!
Take my Taishan Bewitching Fist! Snakebite Sash!
Get him!
Ken!
It worked! The Snake Bite Sash never lets go of its prey!
- Ken! - Kenshiro-san!
The Snake Bite Sash steals your sight and your breath!
Then it crushes your muscles and bones!
He's covered in blades!
Here's the finishing strike...
- Death's Embrace! - Ken, look out!
Die!
What a foolish technique.
Was it your stupidity that turned you into a demon?
Shoot, shoot him!
Shoot him!
Die!
Stop...
Run for it!
Kenshiro...
Help me!
Stay in that hole and take your time to reflect...
On the sins you've committed, one by one.
- Kenshiro-san... - Fudo, let's hurry.
Right.
Kenshiro-san...
He's far stronger than we've ever imagined.
And warm-hearted...
Kenshiro... Truly the man Yuria loved.
That makes me feel relieved.
Whoa, there!
- Brother! We should treat that... - I'm fine.
I still have much to do. Even at the cost of my life.
Let's go!
Brother! Where to?
Brother!
Go, Koku-Oh. Take me to your master!
Father, Kenshiro-sama is drawing near.
I see.
Kenshiro-sama should be able to see this fortress by now.
So he's finally come this far...
- Ma'am, your clothes... - Leave them there.
Yes, ma'am.
Juza challenges Ken-Oh again!
And the last general's secret calls forth tragedy!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
JUZA FALLS!
I'LL GIVE MY LIFE TO PROTECT THE WOMAN I LOVE!
Juza Falls!
I'll Give My Life to Protect the Woman I Love!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
