Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
- Dad! - Dad!
Fudo-san!
So this is the art of a demon!
I guess sympathy does weaken one's fists!
What's this? I can't move my fists!
FUDO: THE GENTLE WARRIOR!
HIS TEARS AWAKEN A FIERY SOUL!
FUDO: THE GENTLE WARRIOR!
HIS TEARS AWAKEN A FIERY SOUL!
This is it!
The light in those sad eyes...
That's what made me fearful!
Fudo!
Now is when I swallow my fear with your blood!
I won't allow my pressure points to be struck so easily.
Raoh! You will perish here!
This is neither hatred nor rage!
What is it that makes Fudo's eyes shine like that?
- Dad! - Dad!
You kids were watching? But why?
- Dad! - We're your children!
- We're not scared! - We're with you, dad!
You kids...
- Stay back! - Don't hurt our dad!
Go away!
- Yeah! - Go away!
- Stay away! - Back off!
You guys...
You're willing to fight Raoh with your tiny bodies?
And willing to fight for your father?
May the cries of these innocent souls...
Grant me, Fudo, my final strength!
Come, Raoh!
Are you Ken-Oh's troops?
Kenshiro-sama, are you not?
Please step aside.
I don't want to fight needlessly.
Neither do we.
But the life of our clan depends on fighting you.
What do you mean?
Since long before the nuclear war,
our clan has been hidden here in the mountains,
as we train to enlighten ourselves, to get close to Buddha.
So why is your clan here?
In order for us to return to the mountain and train in peace,
we must take your life.
Is this about Ken-Oh?
Kenshiro-sama. No need to say more.
Whether you die, or us,
everything will happen according to Buddha's will.
No one is to be blamed.
Kenshiro-sama.
We know that your eyes have failed you.
The sound of our iron staff shall echo in the mountains,
and deceive your ears.
Now that your eyes and ears are both sealed,
the power of the Divine Fist of the North Star is halved!
This is our weapon!
Here we go!
Just what we'd expected, Kenshiro-sama.
You dodged our attacks by a hair's breadth.
But you cannot escape from this sound.
Then let me close my own ears...
As good as we'd expected, Kenshiro-sama.
Well done.
It seems the destiny of our clan ends here!
What's this?
I said I didn't want to fight needlessly.
Kenshiro-sama...
Return to the mountain. I promise I will defeat Raoh.
I must... no matter what.
Here's the finishing strike, Fudo!
It's over.
My fear towards Kenshiro was only a delusion.
Fudo...
Your blood washed away all my fears.
There was no need for this line! Retreat is never an option for me.
Farewell, Fudo.
Impossible! You should already be dead!
You will never understand...
As long as my body is in one piece...
As long as there is one drop of blood that remains,
I will continue to fight.
Is there no end to your foolishness?
Very well! Then see if you can push me back,
and let the arrows pierce me!
You don't understand a thing, do you?
What?
Behold...
It is the pure hearts of these children that drives me onward.
Can you see it?
The power hidden in their sorrowful eyes?
What is in their eyes? They're full of sadness...
Where have I...
Kenshiro!
Die, Raoh!
It can't be!
I, Ken-Oh, retreated!
How could I have retreated?
Another arrow! Load the arrow quickly!
Yes, sir!
- Dad! - Dad!
Stay back!
How could I have retreated?
You have seen Kenshiro in these children's eyes,
and seen Kenshiro in my fists as well.
Fear has risen again in your body!
Petrified by fear, your body had no choice but to retreat!
Had it not done so, it would have perished!
Kenshiro and I have won!
Die!
- Fudo-san! - Mister!
Even if I fall here, as long as fear...
is embedded into your body, you cannot defeat Kenshiro!
Raoh...
A man who knows no sadness... will never know victory...
- Dad! - Dad!
All of you... you did well to watch me until the end.
Yeah! We weren't scared at all!
We were with you, dad!
I see... you did great.
Dad!
You won, right? You beat Raoh, right?
That's right. Your father won.
- Right! - Right!
You've all grown so... strong...
- Dad! - Dad!
- Ken-Oh-sama! - Ken-Oh-sama!
What on earth happened to you?
You just stood there like a post!
Had we not fired on Fudo, you would have...
Worthless bastards! Why did you not fire on me?
I ordered you to! If I retreated across that line,
you were to shoot all your arrows on my back!
B... But!
If we didn't shoot Fudo...
I can't believe how cowardly you can be!
Ken-Oh doesn't intend to live after being defeated!
- Run for it! - Save yourself!
- He's lost his mind! - Run!
- He's lost his mind! - Ken-Oh-sama's gone mad!
Raoh has lost.
He lost not to Fudo the Demon, but to Fudo's own sorrow.
Raoh himself knows that better than anyone.
- Dad! - Dad!
Don't cry, you kids.
Your father was able to do his best because of you all.
From now on, you have to work together and live...
Do you understand?
- Yeah! - Yeah!
You're good kids.
Your father can go on with no regrets...
Kenshiro-sama!
Ken!
Fudo!
Kenshiro-san.
Say no more.
Kenshiro-san!
Father won! He beat that Raoh!
He was strong! Really strong!
I see.
Kenshiro-san...
From now on, please hold these children...
no, embrace all children of this era.
That's the favor Fudo of the Mountains ask of you...
Fudo...
I'm counting on you.
- Dad! - Dad!
Fudo...
Farewell, the warriors of the Five Chariot Stars!
I will not forget your burning souls!
PROTECT THE MERCIFUL MOTHER OF THE SOUTH STAR!
EVEN IF IT'S THE END OF THE FIVE CHARIOTS!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
Protect the Merciful Mother of the South Star!
Even If It's the End of the Five Chariots!
I will protect the code of the North Star.
