THE ORDEAL NEVER ENDS!
KENSHIRO CROSSES THE OCEAN!!
We have information! New leads on Lin-sama!
Taiga has abducted Lin-sama, and crossed the Sea of Death!
The Sea of Death?
The Sea of Death...
Impossible... Crossing the only ocean left, the Sea of Death...
And beyond the Sea of Death lies...
Tell me, Rihaku. What's beyond that Sea of Death?
The Land of Asura.
The Land of Asura?
The only law that rules the land is that of the mighty.
And I've heard that the style,
which gave birth to the North, South, and Source Star,
and its 4,000 year old history still exists there.
Only one percent of the males born there survive.
They go through over 100 deadly battles by the age of fifteen.
Only those who win are given the privilege to survive.
- It is a ruthless nation. - Then why...
Why would Taiga take my little sister Lin there?
Taiga is pulling Kenshiro-san and the rest of you...
into more hellish battles.
It's obvious to all that Kenshiro-san will follow Lin,
and head to the Land of Asura.
But the Land of Asura has closed its borders...
and no one is allowed to enter.
Falco? Where's Falco?
Falco-sama is already crossing the Sea of Death.
What!
I have just returned from seeing him off.
None have ever crossed this ocean and returned alive.
But no matter what kind of hell waits for me,
I will cross this ocean.
Taiga is a general of the Source Star.
As the successor to the Source Star,
I must settle this with my own hands.
Myu... I may not come back to these lands alive.
I will still wait for you. I'll wait forever for your return.
Kenshiro...
I, Falco, will bring Lin back, even at the cost my life.
Falco-sama...
Falco headed to the Land of Asura in that condition?
Falco...
After three days in the pirate business, you can never go back!
Drink! Eat!
Hey! We've got another mark!
What's with that dumbass? He's coming straight at us!
Doesn't he know we're the Killer Whale Pirates?
Just hearing our name quiets crying babies!
- He's going to try and pass us! - Is he too good to say hello?
- How can he be so cocky? - We'll teach him some manners!
Come on, get him!
We'll take everything you've got!
Now!
Alright, that's enough!
We got him!
- Did you catch your prey? - Of course we did!
How did you...
Damn you!
Thanks to you guys, my boat is useless...
I think I'll take yours.
How about you take me to the other side across this ocean?
What!? You want us to go ashore now?
That's right.
Are you serious? Quit messing around!
Go!
Hey, sonny... That's my seat!
You don't look half bad on it, though.
That's the kingpin of the Sea of Death, Akashachi-sama!
No one's ever lived after opposing him!
Akashachi-sama! That guy says he's going to take over our ship!
Did you babble something about crossing this sea?
I'm afraid I can't do it. I don't want to die yet!
Even Akashachi-sama couldn't take him on!
It's this way. Go to the Land of Asura!
- To the Land of Asura? - You can't be serious!
I don't want to die with that dumb bastard!
Let's bolt!
No need to worry.
I can navigate by myself. I'll take you across the river Styx.
But there sure are a lot of weirdos these days...
Earlier, there was another guy who crossed this ocean by himself.
Falco.
These are Taiga's troops!
So you're here, Falco?
Taiga!
They're serious about not allowing any intruders here...
They don't listen to apologies in this hell, either.
Taiga, what happened to Lin?
They took her away... to make her Asura's bride!
What?
Follow after her! Follow her and die, Falco!
That was my intent!
Both the North Star and Source Star will perish here!
What on earth?
How could he have closed in on me without being detected?
I am Falco, of the Imperial Fist of the Source Star.
I am no mere intruder. Where is the woman you took?
You're not strong enough to get her back.
The men of this land, the ones called Asura,
are far beyond you.
I didn't realize you were there.
When I see the sun set, bad memories of... "them", come back.
Them?
Follow me. I've got something I want you to see.
What's this?
These are the spirits of my men.
Once, I attacked that land with one hundred men.
I was looking for a new land... But the results was tragic.
All 100 men were defeated in an instant, by a single enemy!
He was incredibly strong.
And after all 100 men were killed, losing an eye, an arm and a leg...
I saw something even more shocking still!
Somehow, he was only a boy, of not even 15 years.
That was when I first understood...
the meaning of the "Land of Asura", and of the endless horrors within.
I even left my son behind, who was only 15 years old.
I doubt he's still alive.
I no longer have a place to return to.
I couldn't make it to that new land...
So now I wander the ocean as a pirate
together with the souls of my hundred men.
This ocean is the only thing left that ties me to my son.
There is the Land of Asura.
Just what makes you want to go there, anyway?
For money? A woman?
For someone I cannot lose.
The reason isn't important. Just remember this...
You are about to travel through hell itself!
The earth is stained with blood
and the warriors of Asura are fiercely strong and cruel.
Akashachi, what is your son's name?
Why do you ask?
You're not thinking of...
Didn't you bring me this far hoping that I would?
To trust me with your desperate hope?
When I meet him, I'll tell him about you.
I'll wait...
I'll hold on to that desperate hope and wait.
But I doubt even that man could put a dent in that place.
Lin.
Ken...
Ken... he's coming to save me!
A woman named Lin must have come here.
Where is she?
It wouldn't do you any good to know...
You'll soon be dead.
You'll face the same fate as the last guy to...
The last guy?
Falco!
Kenshiro...
You...
I've been beaten...
- Falco! - I'm fine.
This land was far stronger than I had imagined.
Even I, Falco, was not strong enough...
Falco!
This is the wound from his battle with me!
You crossed the ocean with your body like this?
Yes... That is my duty.
There is an enemy to fight. And someone I must save.
My soul will move on, even if my body cannot.
Kenshiro, I am a warrior.
Successor to the Imperial Fist of the Source Star...
Falco... a warrior to the last.
I will fight with my last scrap of flesh,
and my last drop of blood...
Are you the bastard who attacked Falco?
That's right.
