FALCO, THE BRAVE GENERAL OF THE SOURCE STAR!
THERE LIES THE SHADOW OF RAOH...
There it is! That's the Imperial Capital.
It's the Celestial Emperor's stronghold that extinguishes
people's hopes and shrouds the world in darkness.
If we don't annihilate the Celestial Emperor,
there will be no peace for us.
Asuka, watch me! I'll show you a hero.
You'll see the courage of a lone wolf!
It's Rihaku!
Kenshiro-san, it's time...
Turn it! Put your spirit into it and push!
Your strength will become the electricity
that will light up this Imperial Capital!
Turn it!
Keep turning!
I can't breathe...
Damn you! Who said you could rest!?
Who was that!?
Fa...Falco-sama!
Falco-sama...
General.
Viceroy Jakoh is calling for you.
I see...
He is crying...
General Falco does not cry, but his right leg is crying.
Rihaku, what kind of person is this Celestial Emperor?
I don't know, everything is shrouded in mystery.
The Celestial Emperor has given Viceroy Jakoh full control.
And the one to fear is the ultimate warrior
of the Source Star, the Golden General Falco.
Falco.
Why would you do this?
It is my absolute pleasure to die for the general...
No way! Falco didn't even shed one tear for you!
No, general Falco-sama has already cried for us...
Until his tears dried up...
Falco-sama is the light that moves our hearts!
Falco is the light that moves their hearts...
That's what his men said, but why?
It was when Raoh was calling himself Ken-Oh,
when he was on a rampage towards total conquest.
His ambitions had caused a storm in the village
of the Source Star, too.
Are you Falco, of the Imperial Fist of the Source Star?
That's right.
Fight or surrender. What do you choose?
I choose neither. I'd like you to just ignore this village.
What?
Falco, why won't you fight!? Are you afraid!?
I could defeat Raoh now, but I would die as well.
If Raoh falls here, his army will succumb to anarchy.
In the end, this village will likely be massacred.
He sees it through.
I won't ask this for nothing, so let me make an offering...
The leg of the strongest master
of the Imperial Fist of the Source Star!
Take it!
Raoh, I don't want to spill one drop of these villager's blood!
Falco...
So he sacrificed his leg for the villagers?
Yes, Falco's right leg is likely a prosthetic.
Then why is Falco under the control of the Celestial Emperor?
Yeah, right! Why doesn't he just kill the Celestial Emperor?
He will never kill the Celestial Emperor.
It would be against his own principles.
Falco.
Shoki! What is that scar on your face?
That's from Jakoh... for letting Kenshiro go.
Falco, there is no need to go to him!
Being called by the Viceroy is the same...
as being called by the Celestial Emperor.
Falco!
Falco...
Myu...
Falco, why did you not wipe out the rebel troops?
An unexpected enemy got in the way, sir.
An unexpected enemy?
You haven't caught some of Shoki's cowardice, have you?
Who do you think you're talking to...
Your head is too high! Kneel before me!
What's with that look!? You'd dare defy me?
The Celestial Emperor has given me full authority as Viceroy!
You want to raise your fist at me now!?
Fool.
The Blue General, Boltz! The Green General, Taiga!
Tell him who I am!
- Yes, sir!
- Jakoh-sama is the Celestial Emperor's most highly trusted,
- his Excellency, as Viceroy.
What are my words?
- Sir, they are the words of the Celestial Emperor.
- And my fists are? - The Celestial Emperor's fist.
Did you hear that, Falco?
My fist acts as the Celestial Emperor's fist!
Does it hurt, Falco?
Then destroy the North Star!
Destroy the North Star that draws an arrow on the Celestial Emperor!
You've ruined the South Star, now the North Star is the root of evil!
Shoki?
I can't stand this anymore! YOU are the root of evil...
So die!
Falco!
Falco, why? Why go that far just to be their slave!?
Why do you bear such disgrace!?
Falco, you know everything. Jakoh fears the North Star!
He uses the Celestial Emperor's name to give out phony orders!
I shall accept your leg!
It's worth more than your village. It'll protect your whole country.
Come on out! You little rat...
Jakoh!
I'll give you the entire fortune of this village, just spare my life!
Your eyes belie your wicked heart!
Falco, you should kill this man now.
Otherwise, he'll become your worst nightmare!
The North Star... I will never forget this.
As long as the North Star exists to threaten me,
I, Jakoh, have no future!
Jakoh, the fear in your heart has ordered
the elimination of the North Star.
We've all been fighting for Falco, the light that moves our hearts.
But I've had enough!
Die, Jakoh!
Forgive me, Shoki!
Fa...Falco...
Shoki too, is a general of the Celestial Emperor.
I'd like to relieve him with my own hands.
The golden wolf, my ass! He can't defy me at all.
Myu, do you still have any feelings for Falco?
N...no.
Of course not! He's a coward who can't defeat the North Star.
You're far more suited for me than him...
Falco...
I see... You made him think I was dead.
Shoki, this is the canal where we get rid of dead prisoners.
I regret that I must send you through this abominable place.
Don't mention it, Falco,
But why do you bear Jakoh's abuse of power?
The Celestial Emperor has already fallen to Viceroy Jakoh.
If Jakoh is killed, then the Celestial Emperor will be killed.
The Imperial Fist of the Source Star
is the star destined to protect the Celestial Emperor.
I can't let the 2,000 year history of our clan
be overturned in my generation.
Falco...
Shoki, you have already died.
You no longer have to show your loyalty to the Celestial Emperor.
Live freely from now on.
Fa...Falco...!
Farewell, my friend.
Jakoh-sama, just as we thought.
I see right through Falco's foolish tricks...
As soon as he defeats the North Star, he shall be executed.
Boltz, Taiga, watch over Falco. Don't you miss a thing!
- Yes, sir. Understood.
It's a canal.
What is this? Some weird things are floating down...
- Dead bodies... - What?
The bodies of the prisoners.
The only way out for the prisoners who were taken
to the Imperial Capital is this canal.
- They can't come out alive. - No, that's awful!
That's why we must defeat the Celestial Emperor Army!
Hey, he's still alive!
This is Shoki!
Kenshiro...
- Shoki! - Ken, you know him?
Yuria...
Favors should be repaid.
There's greenery and water here. Please, feel free to live here.
Shoki... You helped Yuria and I.
You made Yuria's final moments peaceful.
Kenshiro... the root of this evil is Viceroy Jakoh.
You must defeat... Jakoh!
Shoki... Shoki!
- The spear is blue. - A blue spear?
That's the spear of Boltz, Blue General of the Source Star.
Shoki, for your help... I swear to avenge you!
Boltz-sama! The North Star Army is headed this way!
Don't fear the North Star.
The Blue Light of the Imperial Capital,
Blue General Boltz, shall crush them!
- Raise their flag here! - THEIR flag?
Behold, North Star Army. This is your fate!
- Hey, is that... - Let me see!
Our flag... Our flag is burning!
Something is shining!
- Boltz-sama!
What in... This is MY spear!
Impossible! It can't be thrown that far!
Damn you, Kenshiro!
The Blue General, Boltz. You will not be forgiven!
