Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
RAOH: SHAKEN BY A NIGHTMARE!
YURIA: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE!
Begone! All of you, out of my sight!
Calm yourself, Ken-Oh-sama, please!
What! Silence!
What have you all done to me...
In my fight with Fudo,
you were ordered to shoot the arrows at me when I retreated!
Instead, you shot Fudo!
You have all betrayed me!
I don't want to see your wretched faces!
Get lost!
Yes, sir... Everyone back away.
It hurts.
- It hurts. - It hurts!
What in the hell is going on!
Damn it! Ken-Oh my ass!
- It hurts... - The pain!
Yuria-sama!
Wh... What's this? What happened?
He has lost himself.
Our lack of prudence made Ken-Oh-sama very angry...
The pain is gone...
Hurts so bad! Kill me!
The pain!
I can see it... That soft light!
It soothes our souls, and gives us the courage to live again.
Help me!
That man, Raoh, is the eldest brother of the North Star.
He only lives for battle.
Raoh's destiny is to fight Kenshiro.
But Yuria-sama, don't you despise Ken-Oh-sama?
He kidnapped you!
Please try to understand Raoh's feelings, too.
So, this is the Merciful Mother of the South Star...
She wraps all of humanity in her tender light,
and gives us ease and peace.
The Merciful Mother of the South Star...
Destiny has started to move again.
Raoh, what are you now pondering?
Fudo...
Father, we'll all live strong.
We won't forget your courage.
Fudo, you will live on deep in my heart.
- Hey, it's them! - Our Ocean Brigade.
Rihaku-sama!
What's going on?
Reporting, sir. There's been word of Raoh's defeat,
and there is turmoil among Ken-Oh's army.
What!
Ken-Oh's fearsome leadership has fallen,
and he's lost his command.
There's been upheavals in villages, and some of his troops are fleeing.
The invincible Ken-Oh has been defeated...
His army must have been unprepared.
Send in the troops!
Liberate the villages from Ken-Oh's control!
Yes, sir!
Raoh, is your ambition crumbling away at your feet?
Mister Fudo, your death wasn't in vain.
Now people won't suffer at the hands of Ken-Oh.
Fudo...
Even blazing flames cannot burn this perfected body.
My flesh is undefeatable!
And yet, I have feared twice.
Once shaken by Kenshiro's eyes...
And taken back by the children's eyes.
Now that I've felt fear, I can no longer call myself the King of Fists.
Kenshiro, Fudo. What made me fear was... sorrow.
Kenshiro's love for Yuria. Fudo's love for the children.
Does grief surpass the body?
Sorrow... what is sorrow?
Raoh-sama's heart is for Yuria-sama.
For Yuria-sama... For Yuria-sama...
Is grief... love?
You're crying...
The heavens that lost the Five Chariot Stars is grieving.
Raoh...
Yuria... Give me your life!
- My life? - Yes... I must take your life!
I have only Kenshiro in my mind...
My skills, body, and spiritual energy all surpass Kenshiro's.
But I still understand neither sadness, nor love...
I've heard love brings sadness, and that sadness brings love!
I may come to understand all of it... if I lose you.
Raoh...
Yuria... prepare yourself!
You curs...
You can't, Ken-Oh-sama. You cannot lay a hand on her!
I beg of you! Take our lives instead!
Please, do not harm the lady!
- I beg of you! - As do I!
You have all been struck by the light of Yuria's motherly star?
- Ken-Oh-sama! - Ken-Oh-sama!
No, I refuse!
- Ken-Oh-sama! - Ken-Oh-sama!
Yuria, I don't care if you despise me!
What are you doing!
If you worry about your wound, you cannot fight to full extent.
I don't need pity.
Before a fierce battle among men,
all I can do is see them off as best as I can.
It must be hard to strike while I'm looking at you...
I shall return to heaven as well.
Are you throwing away your life?
For a new light.
I can see it... the era of a new light.
The green trees.
The flowing streams.
The scent of the flowers.
The richness of the land, and the aroma of the soil.
For the era of a new light,
fate cannot avoid the fight between you and Kenshiro.
For that, I will give you my life if necessary.
What is this intense feeling?
I must not falter!
What is this emotion!
Did you understand, Raoh?
Yuria, huh?
The South Star's beautiful daughter.
Toki, just wait and see. I shall make Yuria mine.
Yuria is one of my ambitions.
That is not ambition...
That is love, Raoh.
What? Love!
What a bunch of crap! I do not believe in love!
You may not think it now, but it will turn to tears,
and move your heart.
In time, you will understand both love and sadness.
Toki... why do I remember your words now?
What?
Te... Tears!
L... Love? You say this is love, Toki?
Have I been after Yuria out of love!
Right now... I can't have both Yuria and Kenshiro.
Raoh... I mean, Ken-Oh, has only one path to live.
Forgive me, Yuria!
Live on as sadness within my heart, Yuria!
It's rain...
Yeah, it is rain...
Everyone's been waiting for the rain... so, why?
Why does it feel sad, like the sky is crying...
Yu... Yuria-sama! It can't be...
Ken-Oh-sama!
It is over...
- It's a horse! - It's huge!
- That's... - No way! Ko... Koku-Oh!
Why is Koku-Oh here?
Raoh is calling.
Ken.
- Ken! - He didn't call us...
The two will conclude their battle.
Kenshiro-san, leave everything else to me.
Take care of them.
Ken... Please don't die.
I will protect the code of the North Star.
Ken! Don't die!
Raoh, wait for me!
Raoh!
The North Star Mind and Body Training Ground.
In the 2,000 year history of the North Star,
it is the most sacred of all training grounds.
The battles for succession have always been fought here.
Raoh.
Kenshiro.
To bury your bones, and the 2,000 year history of the North Star,
there is no better place.
Raoh, your ambition and your fists will now come to an end.
Now, the bloody 2,000 year destiny of the North Star
has come to the final battle between Kenshiro and Raoh.
Will Raoh seize the heavens?
Will Kenshiro shine the light on the century's end?
The two warriors with love and sadness on their backs!
At last, the curtain rises on the final showdown!
SHOWDOWN AT THE NORTH STAR MIND AND BODY TRAINING GROUND!
NO ONE CAN STOP THEM NOW!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
