Eliminate the North Star!
The imperial decree is in effect!
But the North Star will not perish.
Kenshiro heads for the Imperial Capital!
THE EMPEROR'S CRIES ECHOES THROUGH THE IMPERIAL CAPITAL!
FALCO, WHERE HAVE YOU GONE?
Stop!
What the hell?
What was that shadow bigger than the fearsome Raoh...
- How terrifying! That shadow... - Viceroy Jakoh!
There's a message!
What is it?
- Kenshiro's at the first gate! - He's fighting our guards!
What?
Kenshiro...
Kenshiro?
The man who defeated even the terrifying Raoh!?
The North Star!
We must not let the North Star enter the Imperial Capital!
Use everything we have...
And strike him down!
Kenshiro!
Welcome! You have my warmest greetings.
First, you'll face Boltz, the Blue General of the Source Star.
Boltz, was it you who killed Shoki?
Kenshiro... the root of this evil is Viceroy Jakoh.
You must defeat... Jakoh!
Shoki... Shoki!
Boltz! Shoki will now be avenged!
Source Star Blue Spear Soaring Fist!
Rebellious North Star!
Now you shall realize your own idiocy!
Source Star Hundred Thousand Spears of Light!
Die!
What?
Impossible! How could I...
Shoki, for what it's worth, you have been avenged.
Celestial Emperor, you'll be next!
It's no use... even with all the Imperial Capital's forces,
Kenshiro cannot be stopped.
Myu.
You still haven't learned where the Celestial Emperor is held?
No... Jakoh is more tight-lipped than we expected.
Sorry to put you through this.
Looking back, all of this chaos was caused by my weakness.
On that day, if only I'd done what Raoh has asked for...
Your eyes belie your wicked heart!
Falco, you should kill this man now.
Otherwise, he'll become your worst nightmare!
Hold on, Falco! Calm yourself!
You don't actually believe him, are you?
I'm a man of this village, too! Look, life is funny...
No, don't! Spare me!
I'll do anything you say! I'll even be your servant!
Spare me, please!
Would you kill me in front of your own mother?
What?
Well, can you?
She raised ME, too!
If you're going to kill me in front of her, go right ahead!
Well? Can you kill me?
I can't do it...
With the sight of my elderly mother praying...
I couldn't go through with it.
As soon as she died,
Jakoh kidnapped the Celestial Emperor to protect himself
and took over the Capital in the Celestial Emperor's name.
Somewhere in this city, the Celestial Emperor is being held captive.
Protecting the Celestial Emperor is my duty as the Source Star.
My softness brought about all of this tempest...
So I must settle it myself.
Forgive me, my ancestors of the Source Star...
I may be the one to end the 2,000 year history...
Of the Imperial Fist of the Source Star!
He's here! He's reached the second gate!
Prepare for battle!
This gate's electrified.
- It'll fry anyone. - Even him!
That's it! He's gonna be toasted!
- Yes! - Alright!
He looks pretty raw to me...
He's a monster!
Those in my way will die.
Not yet? There's still no reports of Kenshiro's demise?
No, sir. He's currently embattled at the second gate.
Viceroy Jakoh! Reporting...
Kenshiro's broken past the second gate.
He's now in battle with our guards.
What?
Kenshiro is... coming?
The light!
It's dark! So dark!
It's too dark...
You bastard! It's too dark in here!
Ja...Jakoh-sama!
Jakoh-sama...
It's dark! Too dark!
Dark!
This is not good!
The North Star shines in the dark skies!
Darkness reminds Jakoh of the North Star and frightens him!
Falco-sama... Jakoh-sama has lost his mind!
At this rate, the Celestial Emperor's life is in danger!
Jakoh-sama, calm down! Take a moment to think!
Jakoh-sama, please, just calm yourself!
Falco-sama! Please stop Jakoh-sama!
Jakoh-sama!
Falco, what the hell are you doing here!
Falco... defeat Kenshiro!
Wipe him off the face of the Earth...
Otherwise, the Celestial Emperor will die!
- Bastard! - Damn it!
Let's get him! Rush him, all at once!
- He's a monster! - Run for it!
Falco-sama's orders! Don't let him in!
- Do not let him pass! - Right!
- Forward! - Yeah!
Don't fall back!
Even if it costs my life, I won't let you pass!
You're not like the others. Are you all Falco's men?
That's right... We fight for Falco-sama!
For Falco-sama, we'd lay down our lives!
Very well. I'll wait for Falco.
Kenshiro, are you calling me?
Did you want to see me, Falco-sama?
Saiya, I need you to do me a favor.
Anything you command.
What is this?
I'd hoped to never use it...
It's a detonator for a bomb in the heart of the Imperial Capital.
If I lose to Kenshiro...
- Saiya, press the button. - What...
The Imperial Capital will then collapse...
along with Jakoh and the Celestial Emperor.
Falco-sama, why?
If I fall, Jakoh's fear of the North Star will overwhelm him.
He will kill the Celestial Emperor...
Then he'll blame everything on the Celestial Emperor and run.
That's what Jakoh really is.
Falco-sama, you're that determined?
I'm the one who started all of this...
With my death, I'll take it all with me to heaven.
But what about Myu-sama?
She loves you, yet endures at Jakoh's side,
trying to find the Celestial Emperor. What about her?
Falco-sama!
- Myu... - Myu-sama!
Please, let me handle the detonator.
You...?
I couldn't stand being left alone.
Your death is the same as mine...
So I'll go with you.
Falco-sama!
I shall bear the 2,000 year destiny...
of the Imperial Fist of the Source Star with this fight!
I have no more regrets.
The gate! The main gate is opening!
Falco-sama is ready for battle!
So you're Falco?
That's right.
- Can't you turn back? - I can't.
Ken...
The Source Star and the North Star...
Originally, both stars were meant to lead
to the same path for the Celestial Emperor.
But why would the Celestial Emperor have these stars fight?
Will nothing make you turn back?
I won't, as I live and die for the Celestial Emperor.
That is the fate of the Source Star.
And my fate...
as the successor to the Imperial Fist of the Source Star!
- Falco-sama!
There certainly is no confusion or hesitation...
in your fighting spiritual energy.
If I feared for my own life, I wouldn't challenge you.
My body is the last gate to the Imperial Capital!
I'll get through you for my friends' sake!
There are no other bridges to cross.
You will not pass... Even if it costs my life!
The heavens have been split!
What's wrong? Hey, Lin! Lin!
- I hear it... - Hear what?
He's weeping... the Celestial Emperor is calling for me,
and he's crying!
Next Episode
THE CELESTIAL EMPEROR IS FINALLY REVEALED!!
As the heavens divide, the earth splits, and the Emperor weeps,
Lin's fate awaits deep within the Imperial Capital.
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star 2!
THE CELESTIAL EMPEROR IS FINALLY REVEALED!
