Let me through the Gate of Asura.
In search of Lin, Kenshiro crossed the Sea of Death
and finally reached the Gate of Asura.
But the Asura's hand reaches out for Lin!
GOOD OR EVIL?
THE MYSTERIOUS NORTH STAR LAPIS LAZULI FIST APPEARS!!
You... You've got to be kidding! I can't fight a monster like that!
Why do you run?
Shame on you!
That's why you punks can never remove that mask.
My name is Alph. I've come to kill you.
Where is the woman named Lin?
You mean the woman who will bear my child?
You'll have to defeat me if you want to take her!
You don't have to tell me. That was the whole idea.
You at least have the spirit of a martial artist...
What is your style? And your name?
The Divine Fist of the North Star, Kenshiro.
Never heard of it.
Two minutes.
Every enemy I've fought so far has fallen within two minutes.
When this sand runs out...
So will your life!
An interesting style. So, who am I to fight?
What? Who else WOULD fight?
Oh, I was thinking perhaps the little guy over there?
What!?
How dare you compare ME to that filthy rag!
Take my Persuading Combat Red Circle Dance!
It worked. You've already fallen for my tricks!
You touched my poison-soaked cape!
You must see more images of me than you can count!
Do you know the Divine Fist of the North Star?
I thought so... Then you must be Lin.
What did you do to Ken...?
I see.
I've worn this mask of rags and waited for this day to come.
For a great opportunity, like you, to fall into my hands!
You're not from this land, are you?
The people of this land don't have the scent of most people.
But you have the air of a normal person.
Slight as it may be...
You're a sharp one, girl...
Wonderful, I've been searching for someone like that.
The sand in the hourglass will run out soon, and you shall die!
The sand has run out!
Impossible! How could your style be this strong!
How could it hit me?
Run! It's a monster!
- It's a Rakshasa! - He must be a Rakshasa!
Rakshasa-sama! Don't kill me!
The woman you asked about is in here!
No way!
She must be here! Hello, miss...?
She was just here! I swear I'm not lying!
Rakshasa-sama? Please don't kill me!
Sorry to bother you.
Thank goodness...
Lin!
Where are we going?
Just come along.
What are you planning to do with me?
Just watch.
Ugh, he's already here...
Stop!
You bastard!
What does a rag like you think he's doing?
That woman is meant to bear the Asura's children.
It was a spur of the moment thing!
- Please let me go... - Let you go?!
Do you even realize the position you're in?
I'll beat you to a pulp right here.
You won't let me go, then?
Then let me ask you one quick question...
- Are you patrolling alone? - Yeah, that's right!
So, we're all alone?
So what!
In that case... GET LOST!
Huh?
You're not good enough.
What? How DARE you address me that way!
Shut up! I said get lost, if you want to live!
You bastard! DIE!
I thought the rags were losers who didn't actually die in battles!
How can he move like that?
I haven't lost to anyone yet!
What?
Didn't I warn you that you aren't good enough?
Who the hell are you?
You must know of the man everyone's been talking about.
Then you are that Rakshasa...
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, Threat Grasping Sport!
The North Star...?
The North... Star... Lapis Lazuli... Fist...
Lapis Lazuli is a shining gem.
Which means that the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist
shines the brightest of all fighting styles.
It's the unparalleled and ultimate martial art!
The North Star...
This man also uses the Divine Fist of the North Star?
But it's different from Ken's Divine Fist of the North Star.
This guy named Kenshiro, I know he's strong.
He'll probably take down countless Asuras.
His existence will seriously shake up this land!
But he's a red hurricane, with blood swirling around him.
He'll perish one day along with the Asuras...
And then my style, the other North Star, will shine!
Who are you?
You'll learn soon enough. Here, come with me.
It seems that something has happened in my absence...
General Kaizer!
You defeated an Asura? Most impressive...
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist is a fearsome art indeed.
But where and when did you study it?
If you lived here, I would have heard about it by now.
When the Big Dipper shines in the sky.
What? Then you are that Rakshasa,
who's feared as a monster that devours Asuras?
It was you, wasn't it?
That's right! The leaders of villages that have disappeared...
Asuras who were given their villages...
When the Big Dipper shines: I've eradicated them all!
It's impressive you've hidden yourself for so long.
But why do this, at the risk of revealing your true identity?
Cause I want this woman!
In this land, might is right. You're guilty of nothing.
Very well. The woman is yours.
You've also earned a name. Pick whatever you please!
I already have a name.
Oh? What is it.
Shachi!
Shachi... A fine name.
And there's one more thing that I want.
You're a greedy one! Very well, name it.
Your head, since now you've seen my identity.
My... head!?
You refuse?
No, I'm intrigued! You think you can defeat me?
Sha! Zan!
They aren't like that last Asura. Try and defeat them!
Stay back, Lin. This will make a great warm-up.
They stand on opposite sides and will attack simultaneously.
The difference of their speed will decide the distance.
- Die!
There!
Gauging that he can't take them down simultaneously,
he spots a single opening and turns his back to the other...
There is no turning back for an Asura!
Fool!
Took his ribs, huh?
Indeed, I can tear out the enemy's bones and organs in an instant,
without a single drop of blood being shed.
Care for a taste?
My Ancient Style Alluring Bird Palm!
A taste?
I'll devour it, along with your existence!
A fine spirit!
This will be the first good workout I've had in ages!
Tell me one thing first... Why did you steal the woman?
I said you can have her!
My real target is the man who's pursuing this woman.
What? Is there a man...
who would come here just to save a woman?
The natives of this land wouldn't understand.
Not all men live and die only for themselves!
Why did you run from the training ground?
If you're a man on this land, you must know the law.
When you turn twelve, you must become an Asura!
No way, I'm never going back there!
- Got cold feet? - Don't worry, kid.
It happens to all of us.
No, I just don't want to fight for no reason!
My first opponent was my best friend!
How can you take down your best friend?
I don't want to fight without hatred!
You must've been raised with the wrong teachings...
Reject the ways of the Asura, and we'll erase your whole family!
Then I'll beat you both. For that, I can fight!
What can a newborn do when you can't even endure the trainings?
Little punk!
No one like you should be allowed to grow up...
If we do, it would spell disaster for this land!
Let's just get rid of him and get back quick.
Right, HE's supposed to come out on nights like this...
Yeah, what an eerie night. Those stars seem too bright!
What?
I just sensed something frightening...
I felt it, too.
- It couldn't be him! - Rakshasa?
Damn you! Are you that Rakshasa?
No.
Really? Then don't scare us!
You're not from this land, are you?
But that won't change the fact that you're going to die.
What!?
- You're the one who's dead!
- Why you... - Bastard!
That's... the North Star!
You know the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, too?
The North Star?
There's an artist of the Divine Fist of the North Star here?
No, the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
I don't know of any Divine Fist of the North Star.
Do you know the man who uses that style?
Shachi, his name is Shachi! He's the man my sister loved.
Shachi...
Akashachi, what is your son's name?
Why do you ask? You're not thinking of...
Didn't you bring me this far hoping I would?
To trust me with your desperate hope?
When I meet him, I'll tell him about you.
His name is Shachi.
Shachi...
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist. So there's another North Star?
What is the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist?
