ANOTHER ART OF ASSASSINATION!
THE IMPERIAL FIST OF THE SOURCE STAR IS THE NAME!!
Turn it as hard as you can for the Celestial Emperor! Push!
Everyone bow! Jakoh-sama will now speak!
Be grateful and listen!
On your knees, now!
It's dark...
It's dark!
The Celestial Emperor seeks light.
I, Viceroy Jakoh, have been vested with total control.
You all work to encase this Imperial Capital with light!
Hear that?
The rest of your lives will be devoted to the Celestial Emperor!
- Hey! - Push!
Turn it like you mean it!
What? Geira's area has also fallen?
Yes, sir. Most of the west has fallen to the North Star Army.
- The North Star... Kenshiro? - Yes, sir.
Of course it's them. The North Star...
That despicable Kenshiro!
He is a dark force who steals the Celestial Emperor's light.
Bastard... Something must be done about Kenshiro of the North Star.
Of course! If I lure him out, I could kill Kenshiro...
Of course! This'll be fun...
Yes, but how...?
As a start...
Rei...
A long time has passed since you left us.
It seemed that an age of hardship was over,
and light had returned to us.
But, Rei...
The world is about to be taken over by darkness again.
There's no telling when the fighting will reach here.
Rei, please protect us.
Please watch over our village...
Rei...
Mamiya-san?
Mamiya-san, I knew you'd be here.
- I heard a rumor. - Did you, Airi?
Airi, what did you hear?
That Ken... Kenshiro-san is coming.
Ken?
That's not all.
They say Lin and Bat are leading the North Star Army.
Lin and Bat...
The kids are fighting, too?
Rei, they're carrying on your spirit, aren't they?
They're supposed to be close by.
Come on, Mamiya-san! Let's go tell the elder!
Yes, the elder will be overjoyed.
Raoh... Toki... Rei...
Warriors of the North and South Stars?
Yes, they were all amazing men.
Each one was full of bravery and with their own principles.
It is our duty to pass down their legends.
The Celestial Emperor is angry!
For what...
The North and South Stars will be wiped out of this world.
What have you done...?
Are you the elder of this village?
What?
I'm asking if you are the head of this village!
Yes...
Then I'll start with you.
What?
Die.
Elder!
- Elder! - Elder!
Elder!
Henceforth,
the history of the North and South Stars must never be spoken.
No mercy to those who dare utter their names!
But Why? For what reason?
Only my star, Polaris, will shine in the heaven.
The Big Dipper is nothing but the warriors
of the Celestial Emperor.
For the North Star to rebel, there will be severe punishment!
It is an imperial decree to kill the North Star!
It's unbelievable!
This is the age of the Celestial Emperor...
and of the Imperial Fist of the Source Star!
Hey, Bat!
That's Mamiya-san's village. I wonder if they're doing well.
Lin, their men are already inside the westernmost area.
Let's focus on taking that area down first.
Right...
Lin, when we're done, let's go visit Mamiya-san.
Right. Together with Ken!
Fire! Fire in the village?
Bat!
Mamiya-san's village couldn't be...
Bat, let's go!
No, the men in the area are about to act.
If we don't go, it'll be a death sentence for them.
But...!
I'll go.
You focus on that area.
Ken, if you can go, I won't be worried!
Please protect Mamiya-san and the others.
We'll join you as soon as we topple the area!
Always sticking his nose where it doesn't belong!
At least I can see what he's really made of.
Mamiya-san! Let's go, quickly!
We have no choice but to leave the village...
No, Airi. This is Rei's resting place...
The man who staked his life for me.
I can't abandon it.
Mamiya-san...
Mamiya-san, that's...
I swore I'd never use them again... and sealed them here.
I'm sorry, Rei. I must fight again.
Watch out!
I'm not letting either of you run!
That junk will never work! Just try it!
What's the matter? Come on!
Run for it!
We did it! We've freed the last western area!
- Thank you! - Sure.
- Bat, got a moment? - What is it?
There's a prisoner in a special cell underground.
A special cell? No one one told me...
Who could it be?
What's the matter? Come on!
Who's there?
Ken!
Bastard! Are you gonna get in my way?
Mamiya, you had given up fighting. Why are you holding a weapon?
Ken...
What? Hey, moron! Are you ignoring me or what!
Let go! Let go already! You little piece a...
You want it back?
I want it!
Alright. Take it.
Thanks!
Leave this village immediately! Otherwise, I'll take you on...
I'm talking to you guys in the back, too.
Why did you attack this village?
Take a guess.
Looks like I'm just wasting my breath.
- Bring it on. - Wait!
You guys are no match for him.
Kenshiro, right? I figured you'd come.
- Ken, he got the elder! - That man killed him!
What's this about?
If I attacked the village you're closely tied to...
I figured you'd come.
And for that, the village was...
Just to find me, the village was...!
So what? It's only a village that's fond of the North Star.
I am the general of the Imperial Capital,
Solia of the Purple Light.
The traitorous North Star must be destroyed!
What?
You'll fall to my Imperial Fist of the Source Star.
Behold! I'll show you its true essence!
Bring it on.
Source Star Flowing Ring Light Slash!
There's no escaping my deadly Flowing Rings!
- Ken! - Kenshiro-san!
The Imperial Fist of the Source Star...
destroys its opponent on the cellular level.
Using the inner fighting spiritual energy as a blade
its incision leaves only vapor, or freezes the skin like ice.
I'll obliterate your very body from this world!
This makes it eighteen million, six hundred and fifty thousand...
seven hundred and sixty-five...
No, brother. It's seven hundred and sixty-seven.
Really? Guess I nodded off for a while...
Right now, I'm at 18,650,685.
Hey, I've counted more.
To end it like this...
I wish I'd been born a weakling and died off long ago.
You got that right, Gil.
Some twist of fate gave us abnormally strong bodies.
A regular guy wouldn't have lasted a day.
We're tough mentally, too.
That's 18,650,769.
Bro, someone's coming.
Who is it?
- Here it is. - What's all this?
- Who the hell are you guys? - Came to see if we were dead?
Those are Haz and Gil, the Harn Brothers...
criminals with 750 convictions!
Man, talk about extreme punishment...
We're famous now, huh?
Hey you, over there! Haven't I seen your face before?
You mean me?
You're the guy on that wanted poster next to ours!
Aren't you Bat, of the North Star Army?
What in the hell do you want with us?
It's amazing you've even made it here...
What do we do?
We can't just leave them here...
Let's save them.
Save us? But what about all of this concrete!
Even WE can't break it!
Good question. It'll be a bit of work...
Now, move out!
- So, what do we do with them? - I don't know yet.
You don't know?
They seem interesting enough. They might come in handy.
Don't worry, they won't die that easily!
- Hey! What's taking so long? - Let us out, jerks!
- Hurry up and let us go! - Are you trying to wear us out?
The Source Star is the ultimate fist that surpasses even the North Star!
Kenshiro, the North Star will perish here!
Solia, of the Imperial Fist of the Source Star...
I'll remember that name.
But...
Save your preaching for the devils in hell!
You talk big... very well!
Imperial Fist of the Source Star Ring of Destruction!
The North Star shall not perish!
Die with my last blow, Kenshiro!
- Solia-sama!
I'm impressed, Kenshiro.
But the Celestial Emperor won't forgive the North Star!
The generals of the Source Star have already risen.
My Source Star will slaughter the North Star no matter what!
Man, he's got balls!
This will raise his bounty even higher...
My cute little woman is going to love this.
The Celestial Emperor, eliminating the North Star...
Ken...
We finally meet again...
when this quiet village is caught up in a new battle...
The elder... and so many other lives have been...
The Celestial Emperor...
If he's that determined to destroy the North Star...
I will deliver death to the Celestial Emperor!
The Purple Light has faded.
On what mission did Solia die?
"Eliminate the North Star." A direct order from the Emperor.
As you command.
The 2,000 year history of the North Star...
We, the Imperial Fist of the Source Star, shall annihilate it.
