Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
SHOWDOWN AT THE NORTH STAR MIND AND BODY TRAINING GROUND!
NO ONE CAN STOP THEM NOW!
SHOWDOWN AT THE NORTH STAR MIND AND BODY TRAINING GROUND!
NO ONE CAN STOP THEM NOW!
SHOWDOWN AT THE NORTH STAR MIND AND BODY TRAINING GROUND!
NO ONE CAN STOP THEM NOW!
The North Star Mind and Body Training Ground.
I knew it...
Kenshiro.
To bury your bones, and the 2,000 year history of the North Star,
there is no better place.
Raoh, you will not take the heavens!
You will perish here, along with your ambition.
I don't care about the heavens any more!
No... the heaven I sought may have been you!
Kenshiro!
The one to slaughter the greatest North Star master will be Raoh.
That will begin a new history for true, ultimate strength.
You'll die, not me.
Raoh, you are the only man to break the code of the North Star...
As the true successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star,
I must make you pay.
Kenshiro! I'll smash you into dust!
Unconscious Transmigration...
A legendary secret technique of the North Star,
mastered only by those who bear true grief!
Before this ultimate technique, Unconscious Transmigration...
Only death awaits.
The finishing strike!
Raoh?
You've mastered Unconscious Transmigration as well?
I, too, had my heart steeped in blood and filled with grief.
What?
Over there!
- Ken! - Hey!
Yuria...
Yuria-san?
Raoh, what did you do to Yuria...
See it for yourself.
Yuria...
The first woman I ever put my hands on...
But it was her life that fuelled my Unconscious Transmigration.
Yuria... Give me your life!
- My life? - Yes.
I must take your life! Forgive me, Yuria!
Live on as sadness within my heart, Yuria!
It is over...
Yuria-san...
And now, everything will end...
It's been a long journey...
We, Ken-Oh's army, have finally realized the futility of battle.
- Right. - Thanks to Yuria-sama...
Whether an ally or an enemy,
the Merciful Mother of the South Star has shown us the light of love!
We were finally enlightened by Yuria-sama's presence.
But it was too late!
Yuria-sama... Yuria-sama is...
So Raoh laid a hand on his beloved, soaked in tears...
Witnessing it, they all realized the pointlessness of fighting...
and the power of love...
So they chose family over useless fighting.
We, the Five Chariot Stars,
could not protect Yuria-sama until the very end...
But, Yuria-sama will live on in all of their hearts forever.
Forever...
Hey, the Big Dipper...
The battle has already begun.
Let us go! We'll bear witness to the battle
between the ruler and the savior of the century's end.
Yuria-san...
Die!
I need no name. I need no light!
All I seek is the victory of my fists.
To defeat you and become the strongest man in the world!
Come on, Kenshiro!
Is this pleasure, or pain?
We've waited so long for this day!
Now that we've both mastered Unconscious Transmigration,
other techniques won't be useful weapons anymore!
We've reverted to nothing!
Which makes it like a battle between infants!
Let's do this, Kenshiro!
I am the one who first trained you in martial arts...
My blows are more powerful than anyone else!
I should thanks the Gods...
for sending such a strong man to stand before me.
Come on!
They're fighting without trying to block each other.
Strange... neither of them are showing signs of hatred!
No, it's more like they're becoming transparent...
I can see them, back when they were little!
Huh?
Thinking back...
This is also where we first met Yuria.
Brother...
You hadn't yet been allowed to train...
or to even enter the dojo.
What's the matter? Attack me, Kenshiro!
This child is of the South Star?
Yes, she will become the general of the South Star.
But sadly enough, she left all her speech and emotion
in her mother's womb...
We can never tell what she thinks, or what she sees.
A mysterious girl...
That's a pity, she's such a lovely girl.
The North and South Stars are essentially Yin and Yang.
If you believe in that destiny...
I thought that by bringing her here, perhaps something might change.
That is why we came...
Raoh! Teaching him martial arts...
Kenshiro isn't allowed to train, or even to enter the dojo.
Why did you break the rule?
Those with no talent will get kicked out eventually,
and have their fists taken away.
So I may as well save him some trouble...
Kenshiro has no talent.
This girl is...
Here you go.
Yuria-sama? What's the matter?
Here.
They've returned! Yuria-sama's emotions...
Right.
Raoh drew her out, and Kenshiro opened her heart.
Raoh and Kenshiro bear the fate of the North Star.
And Yuria, the future general of the South Star...
But with two North Stars and one South Star...
One day, there will be a fight that will divide the heavens.
If this keeps up, they'll both die!
Ken...
You entered my... fighting spiritual energy!
Ken's not even looking at Raoh, just his spiritual energy!
He's assaulting his foe's aura,
and unleashing an unconscious attack into the confusion.
The next blow will mark our last farewell.
Toki and I both idolized you,
Raoh, the great eldest brother of the North Star!
That feeling is as strong as ever, burned into my heart.
Ken-Oh-sama's energy is receding!
The maligned fighting spiritual energy leaves him wide open.
Kenshiro's unconscious fist won't miss a single opening...
Yuria-san, look...
Ken is fighting together with Yuria-san's heart.
It'll soon come.
Their long lasting battles...
will soon end.
And peace will come...
to both of their souls...
Very well. Try to take me down!
With the 2,000 year history of the North Star...
I'll put my entire life into these fists!
Take this fist with all of my soul!
Raoh's aura is gone!
Yuria-san...
Stop! Both of you!
The long battle is over!
Their legends will continue into the future!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star!
FAREWELL: BROTHERS OF THE NORTH STAR!
THEY'RE BEYOND LOVE AND SORROW!
Farewell, Brothers of the North Star!
They're Beyond Love and Sorrow!
Raoh, you were my greatest friend.
