Unable to see tomorrow...
At the edge of this never-ending journey!
FAREWELL: BROTHERS OF THE NORTH STAR!
THEY'RE BEYOND LOVE AND SORROW!
If this keeps up...
If this keeps up, they'll both die!
Ken!
Kenshiro!
You entered my... fighting spiritual energy!
Ken stepped completely inside Raoh's spiritual energy!
Look, Lin! Raoh's fighting spiritual energy is unsteady!
He shouldn't do that for a second.
But before Ken's Unconscious Transmigration,
Raoh can't do anything about it!
Yuria-san, look...
Ken is fighting together with Yuria-san's heart.
It'll end soon.
It was so long... Their long lasting battles...
It will end soon.
And peace will come to both of their souls.
Raoh.
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.
Kenshiro...
Very well. Then try to take me down!
I will put my entire life into these fists!
Take this fist... With all of my soul!
Raoh's aura is gone!
Perish in heaven, Kenshiro!
He did it!
That's impossible!
I am Raoh, and put all of my soul into my fists!
Your heart stands alone. But within my heart,
feelings for my brother Raoh... and for Yuria, live on.
Even your hard fist style that shattered heaven and earth...
cannot shatter these feelings.
Your strength comes from differences between
one who abandoned love, and one who embraced love into his heart?
Kenshiro!
Toki!
Raoh, it's alright to say it now.
Why don't you?
You haven't abandoned love.
Say that you have hid it deep into your heart!
I won't!
I would rather die than admit it!
Then will you accept the Death Omen Star without saying anything?
What? The Death Omen Star?
Rihaku-sama, the Death Omen Star!
Look how brightly the Big Dipper shines now!
I see... so that's it.
So even the eyes of Rihaku could not read Raoh...
His sorrowful heart.
Live on as sadness within my heart, Yuria!
Forgive me!
Yuria! You are ill!
Just like Toki, a fatal illness!
I have a few months left.
How long have you been...?
Soon after I was taken away by Shin.
I was given a limited time to live.
So I thought I would live as the heavens decreed,
without defiance.
When the general of the South Star moves,
so does the North Star... as do the heavens.
And such is the destiny of the last general of the South Star.
So you chose for yourself, to stay still and wait?
Even if it meant abandoning your own happiness?
If my life can bring light to this century's end...
Now, send me to heaven.
What a woman...
I cannot kill her!
I, Raoh, cannot cast this woman away!
Yuria! I shall bear my love for you forever!
Raoh must have struck a pressure point on Yuria-sama,
and put her into a death-like state to halt her illness.
By killing Yuria-sama...
he still couldn't obtain Unconscious Transmigration.
But his love for Yuria-sama, and his sorrow showed him.
But that's not enough...
This means Raoh also had the right to be the successor
to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Ironically, the heavens sent two successors to this world.
For Raoh, the eldest brother of the North Star,
to bear love would be a disgrace!
If I did that, I would equal Kenshiro in every way!
It's fine, brother. The fight is over.
Unacceptable! I am the eldest brother of the North Star!
I must die with my pride!
Damn you!
I shall show you...
how Raoh, the ruler of the century's end, meets his end!
Kenshiro!
I, Raoh, am not dead yet!
Ken! Stop it!
Yuria-san?
I don't believe it!
Kenshiro!
You and I should be equal in all respects now!
There is no way my fists cannot take you down!
So you already knew?
My fists no longer have the strength to take you on.
Raoh...
Now I understand!
You have lived all this time by seeing through death!
Fighting alongside irreplaceable friends...
you've seen the line between life and death!
Friends...
Friends, huh?
Thinking back, the only man I could call a friend was Toki.
Show me...
Show the face of the man who has defeated Raoh.
Impressive, my little brother.
Brother!
Yuria-san! Yuria-san!
- Her eyes opened! - Yuria-san!
Ken!
Yuria-san! Yuria-san is alive!
What?
Go!
Ken...
Yuria...
It was so long... So long...
But finally...
Ken...
Yuria!
Your life will be spared for a few more years!
Spend those remaining years with Kenshiro in peace,
and live happily!
Raoh...
Could you have given Yuria your own fighting spiritual energy...?
Farewell, Kenshiro.
I shall return to heaven... Where Toki awaits.
- Raoh! - Stay back!
What are you gonna do for me?
Your eyes can only see Yuria!
And besides...
I, Raoh, need no one's help to return to heaven!
- What's this? - Raoh's body is turning white!
I have not a shred of regret for my entire life!
Raoh...
The great star falls.
Behold... Light has returned to this world.
If it weren't for Raoh, Kenshiro and Yuria-sama...
this world would have been in darkness forever.
- Light! - There's light shining!
The light has returned!
- It's so warm! - Alright!
This is the light of freedom!
- Yeah! - Hooray!
- Here we go! - Do it!
- Over here, over here! - Hold it tight, now!
- Line up properly, now! - There's plenty, don't worry!
Come on, wait up!
If Raoh hadn't given his fighting spiritual energy to Yuria...
I might have lost.
No!
Terror was the only way to rule this violent wasteland.
But ruling by terror doesn't bring true peace.
Raoh must have wished he'd be defeated by one who loved.
He must have wished that, one day, warm light will...
pour down onto this wasteland once again.
I can't help but believe it.
Raoh...
You were my greatest friend.
Raoh, rest in peace with Toki.
I shall hold your life in my heart,
and live on as the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star!
- Ke... Ken! - No, Bat!
We can't! We promised we wouldn't follow them!
Please let them be alone!
Let them live quietly by themselves!
Lin...
But I'm sure that Ken will come back someday!
I know he will...
Ken!
