THE SAVIOR COMES FROM THE NORTH!!
Did you also come to confirm Kenshiro's death?
Many men like you have come here wishing for a miracle.
But a miracle will not happen! Kenshiro has died.
The Divine Fist of the North Star has perished from this world!
But no one has come to see this grave and returned alive!
We wouldn't want old friends to come and dig him up, would we?
So die!
- The grave of the North Star... - It crumbled...
- Damn you! - Who the hell are you!?
What the hell are you doing!?
His finger is piercing through my skull!
- Damn you, show your face! - Are you...
The... North Star...
It's the North Star Army!
Show them the strength of the Celestial Imperial Army!
- Don't let them leave alive! - Get them!
- Look, he's alone. - He's pretty good to get this far.
- Die!
- Rihaku-sama! - Is something wrong?
My body is hot... My blood is boiling.
Something is... about to happen.
Did something strange happen?
Nothing in particular.
They reported there were some horse-like tracks
in the western desert... That's about it.
What!? Horse-like tracks!?
Yes, but according to the reconnaissance squad,
the tracks were too big for a horse.
It's miracle... A miracle ...
Viceroy Jakoh-sama.
Area G in the desert has been destroyed!
What!? Is it that North Star Army again?
I'm not sure, sir.
There was nothing left behind.
It's more like one man instantly destroyed it...
What? One man...
No, it can't be...
It's dark! Too dark!
The light! Give me more light!
The Celestial Emperor hates the darkness, so let there be light!
This is the central area in the west, right, Bat?
If we can destroy this town, our battle will go smoothly.
Right.
It's the refugees!
Bat.
There's a large number of refugees headed for this town!
Refugees?
Back off!
This town is within the area controlled by
the Celestial Imperial Army's security forces!
We will not let you enter!
He... help me...
Stop! Don't touch me!
Damn you, I will kill you!
It's the emblem of the Imperial Army.
Are you from the Celestial Imperial Army!?
Our area was... taken by one man...
What!?
Commander Bask-sama!
What's going on?
Sir! We just received a report that area J5 was destroyed.
I already knew that... J5 isn't the only one that was destroyed.
Other areas have also been destroyed by someone.
Something strange is definitely happening.
However, this area is going to be different.
If I, Bask-sama am here, nothing will happen.
Nothing!
Commander!
The leaders of the North Star Army,
Lin and Bat have infiltrated our army!
The lieutenant is after them now!
What!?
Do you think you can run from me, Barona-sama?
It's no use!
You guys have a huge bounty on you!
What the...?
How cruel! I told you that you had the wrong person!
What!?
Shut the hell up!
Damn you, now I can't get any reward!
- What's wrong, Barona? - Oh! Bask-sama...
Looks like I made a mistake again.
Don't worry. Take that woman.
We will execute her in public as Lin,
the leader of that rebel North Star Army.
Huh?
What?
Hey!
The execution of Lin, leader of the North Star Army,
shall now begin!
Is that Lin from the North Star Army?
Poor woman...
- Impossible! - What's going on?
Lin-sama, Bat-sama, are you alright?
How did this happen?
I don't know. I heard that the two of you had been captured.
They're probably using a fake, executing her as an example.
How cruel. How could they?
Damn it!
It doesn't matter WHO gets executed.
Lin's name is the point.
I don't care how many "other" Lin's appear.
We will execute each one. The rebels shall all see...
the futility of defying the Celestial Imperial Army.
All rebels shall disappear before this Bask-sama,
and all shall kneel before us, the Celestial Imperial Army.
Begin!
- Stop! - Lin, Bat, don't!
We're surrounded by the Celestial Emperor's troops!
If you go out now, you both will die.
Do you think Lin and I can watch this and do nothing!?
Since I carried the flag of the North Star and started fighting,
I'd already thrown away my own life!
I can't do it...
I can't watch someone else die in my place.
I would rather reveal myself and die gracefully in battle!
Let's go, Lin!
- Yes! - Wait!
Rihaku!
Bat, that woman will be saved.
What are you talking about!?
With all those guards, who will help her!?
There's only one man who can do it...
And we all know who that man is.
What do you...
Huh?
Wha?
- What the... - Is something there?
- Ba...Bat... - It can't be...
Hey guys, what happened?
Who are you?
It's Ken... isn't it?
Is this a dream?
Our... our cries from the bottom of our hearts...
have awaken the man of miracles!
Damn you!
Where did you come from? What are you doing here!?
From the north... to bring your deaths!
Ken...
This man is facing all of my troops,
yet he doesn't bat an eye?
So it's you! The one who's destroying all our areas!
What if I am?
What!?
That's enough, punk!
I don't know who you think you are...
But I, Barona-sama, will crush you!
Come on! Bring it on!
I'll slaughter you!
Huh? What is it?
It's your breath. It smells like crap.
Wh...what!?
You bastard!
It seems you're more than just a fool...
What is your name?
Even if you knew my name, you won't live to tell anyone.
Do you think that I, Bask-sama, can be defeated by someone like you!?
If you think I'm at the same level as that idiot Barona,
you'll regret that mistake!
Mountain Prison Hold Claw!
How's that!?
An interesting trick.
Try it once more.
What? You ARE a fool.
This time I'll pull your intestines out!
What?
What's the matter? Weren't you supposed to spin?
What are you, sir? Some kind of... monster?
I'm just a man.
- Even Bask-sama was... - We're done for...
- What the!? - What's going on!?
The crowd...
- What are those people! - Stop!
Kick out Celestial Emperor's troops from this town!
Follow them! Let's take back our town!
Ken...
Lin... Bat...
Lin...go on.
No...
No, I shouldn't go first. Bat... you should show him.
Ken... Look at Bat...
It's not just this scar.
Bat has countless scars all over his body.
All of those scars are from... when he saved me...
Each one of those scars were to protect me...
I wanted Lin... to see you again.
Bat... you have become a real man.
Ken...
Ken!
Ken, you're back! You really came back!
Maybe, there will be hope again in this century's end...
