In the past, men fought and left temporary peace on earth.
But they all fell to heaven and earth.
The history of those men were eventually buried in the sand,
and only a legend was left behind.
THE PAST IS GONE
THE DAWN OF THE NEW AGE HAS COME!!
Move! Move! Clear the way!
Run! Don't slow down!
Come now, get into the rhythm! On my mark, pull!
Pull! Pull!
Please sweetie, don't cry...
Our own child's tears are stained with mud,
while their children... why!?
Aren't all humans the same!
This peaceful era has created a gap between the rich and poor,
leading the world to another era of chaos.
Darkness... this world has been enveloped in darkness once more.
There's one man who could rid us of this darkness...
but that man, our savior... he will never come again...
You guys are lucky...
dodging the death penalty for hard labor instead.
Make sure you work hard.
- What's that? - A star?
Beautiful. It's shining like the North Star.
It's amazing.
- No way... - It's not a star, it's...
That's... Is that...
It can't be...
It's the light of the electricity.
I had forgotten the light of electricity.
It's like day time.
Right.
That's the Imperial Capital where the Celestial Emperor is.
But how did they get electricity to...
You'll find out when you get inside.
- Where are we going... - What's gonna happen to us?
To the source of the light. It's all down there.
Turn it like you mean it!
Turn it as hard as you can for the Celestial Emperor!
This is the source of the light.
You'll all be worked to death for the Imperial Capital...
and for the Celestial Emperor's light!
- No! - Not to death...
I don't want to die here!
Please, help us!
Shut the hell up!
You are able to work for the Celestial Emperor.
You should be grateful!
Just keep turning the generator until you die.
Viceroy Jakoh has arrived!
We have the updated reports from each area, sir.
The six prisoners from Area F have just arrived.
Area KG! The rebel forces were suppressed.
Area JA! The execution of the rebels completed.
Area XL! All the disruptive men have been relocated to the camps.
Good work.
Area RZ! The prisoner truck was attacked by resistance troops.
What!?
The enemy's name is the North Star Army.
The North Star Army?
Yes sir. They are led by a young man and a woman.
This world now belongs to the Celestial Emperor.
Our army has already controlled most of the areas.
The North Star is just a lost art.
- The fuse was blown. - Oh, come on!
It's dark...
Damn, is it dark in here!
It's much too dark!
Turn the lights on!
Hey, the lights. Turn the lights on!
The light! Where is the light!?
It's dark...
This darkness...
It's dark... too dark!
The darkness...
The light! Gather more light to the Imperial Capital!
More light!
All the light in the world shall be inside the Imperial Capital!
And with this light, we'll illuminate the universe.
The Celestial Emperor vested me with absolute control...
Me, Viceroy Jakoh!
My orders are the orders of the Celestial Emperor!
The Celestial Emperor governs heaven itself.
It's the sovereign star that rules both the North and the South Star.
The Celestial Emperor has begun to take the earth in his hands.
A rumor like that must be a lie.
I can't believe that he would...
It's got to be a mistake. It's just a bunch of crap!
- It's here. - Where is it?
Is that it?
- The Big Dipper! - Which means, this is...
- The grave of the North Star. - It's really his grave?
- It was true... - I can't believe it...
I can't believe he's dead...
The legend we hoped for has disappeared?
Huh?
What's that sound?
Where is it coming from?
Down there. It's from the ground...
Wh...what!?
I am Zorba, the protector of the graves in hell!
And his partner, Zalji!
He's dead cause he's angered the Celestial Emperor!
The Divine Fist of the North Star is no more!
What!?
We are here to kill those who come to seek him... fools like you.
Those who associate with the North Star...
those who believe in the North Star shall be executed!
Go! Return to your village and let everyone know!
The Divine Fist of the North Star has perished!
Kenshiro is dead!
The man of the North Star, Kenshiro is dead!
- The rumors were true! - He saw the grave of North Star!
- Joe saw it. - Two of his friends were killed.
- By who? - By the Celestial Emperor's men.
- That man is... - Kenshiro is dead.
The North Star is gone.
No way...
- It's no use... - The North Star isn't coming.
- Kenshiro is gone. - We will keep suffering.
Everyone, don't give up! Even if Kenshiro-san is gone,
if we just back down now, the Celestial Emperor has won!
- Yeah, that's right! - Exactly!
It's time for us to take a stand!
The Celestial Emperor's violent control is
only oppressing our people!
If we don't take a stand now, we won't have a chance
against the Celestial Emperor!
Terror and violence is their weapon!
Hey, what's the matter? I'm not done talking...
Well, why don't you keep talking to me?
But you should know the laws in this town.
You can't just gather up people and talk secretly.
What law!? That's just something you guys made up!
Of course we did. We are the law.
If everyone abides by it, we'll all be happy.
What're you talking about! Nobody will accept your laws!
Let me go, you monster!
What!?
Hey, the relocation camp is already full, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Thought so. I'll just execute you for contempt instead!
You have to obey the laws.
My clothes got dirty.
Hey, get out of the way.
They're here.
The Celestial Emperor's prisoner convoy.
Let's go. We'll liberate the prisoners.
Attack!
Wh...what the!?
- Is that...? - No way!
Commander! Who are they?
BAT
LIN
Who the hell are you!?
Can't you see that flag?
Huh? Seven stars...?
The North Star Army!
Are you the elusive band always attacking our convoys...
to free our prisoners?
There was a man who kept on fighting all alone...
We have inherited his love and courage with our hearts.
We'll be taking back your prisoners!
Damn you!
- Lin! Are you alright? - Yes.
Commander, what should we do?
Many against few, huh?
We can't win this, so... You know what to do!
Yes, sir.
Go! Release the prisoners!
Damn idiots!
- Wh...what? - What?
We won't just hand over the prisoners.
This is... gasoline!
Release it!
If you want them so bad, have their roasted corpses!
No way... Mamu's father is in there!
Mamu is waiting for her father's return...
Don't, Lin! You want to die?
It's too late.
If only were stronger...
Just a little stronger...
Wh...what? On fire!?
Then, the men who were captured were...?
Sorry, Rihaku...
there was nothing we could do to put out those flames.
How unfortunate...
Lin?
Big sister...
Ma...Mamu...
Lin, where's daddy?
Did daddy come home?
Lin?
Ma...Mamu...
Big Sister...
I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Mamu...
Lin...
If only HE were here...
Did he really die?
Don't say that!
Don't talk about that... We just shouldn't say it.
Kenshiro-san... Are you watching?
The two who fight and bear the flag of the North Star...
Even with their wounds, they keep waiting for you.
"If only Ken were here..." They swallow those words...
and still continue to fight.
If you hear the hearts of those young ones, please come back.
Now and again, we need you
and light of the North Star that will settle the tempest...
Hey, do you have anything to eat?
Whatever!
Stop! Thief!
- Idiot! Out of my way! - Hey, wait!
- Hey, wait your turn! - Search his pockets!
- Ain't got nothing. - Not even a bite to eat!
Useless...
Mister, are you alright?
Here, have some water.
Mister.
Mister. Are you alright? Hey, mister!
