LOVE IS PREACHED IN THE CENTURY'S END!
HER NAME IS LEIA!!
The men of this land have only one goal: to win in battle.
The Asuras devour each other, shrouding this land in darkness.
But something's not right. Something's been forgotten.
I don't remember what it was. But my older sister knows.
This is it.
Fufu!
That's my sister, over there.
My sister opened this school away from the eyes of the Asura.
Before the children are taken to the training grounds,
she teaches them things that are forbidden in this land.
Love?
What is love? I've never heard of it.
If a friend or someone you like dies, you feel sad, don't you?
Yeah.
No one teaches you that feeling.
Everyone knows it from the moment they're born.
It's a part of your heart that no one can erase.
No matter how much killing or betrayal there may be,
people always find their last solace in love.
I was taught here as well.
And now I'm sure that she taught me the truth.
It's truly sad though...
In this land, you could scream about love,
and no one would hear you.
No... they'd kill anyone who cries out their love.
Was Shachi here?
Yes, but he's not like who he used to be back then.
The art called the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist changed him.
- Goodbye, teacher! - Goodbye!
Sister!
This man said he had something to ask you.
About a man named Shachi.
If you have any idea where he might be headed,
I'd like to know.
Shachi?
I'll tell you... if you can kill him.
Sister!
Go on...
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist is a tremendous art.
The most brutal on this earth.
Strong enough perhaps to take over this land.
But if that were to happen, the tragedies would only grow.
Tiger Back Bear Claw Pilfer!
I have won 8,800 battles as an Asura...
You won't be able to follow my hands.
I can see now why you are their general.
My North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist had just grown tired
of devouring punk Asuras.
Then show me that North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist!
If I could just seal the movement of his hands...
He's fast!
What's the matter?
Then I'll go for his legs!
Striking at my arms and legs? That was a poor choice.
There's no point in waiting to see your art through.
You'd need a hundred more years of training
before challenging Kaizer-sama!
Now, what would you like me to rip out?
Your heart? Your lungs? Maybe your spine?
Now!
Wh...What?!
You bastard!
You dropped your guard just to lure me in,
and sacrificed a rib to take my arm!
That's right! Do you know what that means?
It means I've already seen through your movements!
Don't run!
Lin, I won't say this again:
If you run again, I'll kill you even if you are a woman!
How could you, sister?
Why are you asking this man to kill Shachi?
Why would someone who preaches love ask for death?
I can preach love to a human being.
But even the devil is like a child compared to that man!
Sister!
Why won't you smile for me?
Didn't you let those Asuras take you away
because you wanted to be like Shachi?
No!
I was sick of living in fear, hiding every day from the Asuras!
But when they asked me to kill a friend,
that's when I realized that what you said was right!
Welcome home, Tao!
Sister!
You once loved Shachi.
That's why you mustn't make the same mistake he did.
You lost an arm just to take one of my ribs...
Pretty steep price, isn't it Kaizer?
You must be a Rakshasa, devourer of demons.
But one arm is enough for a whelp like you!
I've already seen through your art...
Now get a good taste of the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist!
Here I come!
Left hand style!
Right talon kick!
It's no use!
When you move to attack, you give away everything!
I can read every move you make!
Just what I'd expect from an Asura with 8,800 victories.
Take this!
Ancient Style Bewitching Bird Palm! Striking Mandala!
Got you!
Evil Breaking Finger!
Thinking you had already won while I was still alive,
that was careless.
Being careless makes you defenseless
against unexpected attacks and creates unguarded moments.
I just need to put fighting spiritual energy into this finger,
and you'll be finished!
Lament your foolishness in hell.
Well done!
But what do you seek to gain by defeating General Kaizer?
Will you devour all Asuras, and then become like a God?
Something greater.
God himself will be my servant!
Impossible!
You think you can brag just because you've beaten me?
You must know, of course!
There are three Generals of Asura, worshipped as the Gods of battle!
The one who gave me the scar on my chest
was the third General of Asura, Han.
When he did, I couldn't even see his fist!
They won't be defeated by someone like you!
And that's why I took this woman away!
What?
So I can make the man called Kenshiro my pawn,
to sacrifice him against Han and see through his style!
Shachi has changed
ever since he mastered the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
Man, some rain that is.
Hey!
You came to take back all my treasure I've collected,
didn't you, you bastard?
You're going to pay for this!
Help me!
Hey, creep! You've sure stolen a lot of stuff.
What?
Who the hell are you?
I see, you're even more of a monster than they say.
Damn you! You want to get killed?
You'll be the first training dummy for my fists!
Shachi! Stop!
Leia!
I've done it!
I've finally mastered the secret destructive point
that ruins the entire body!
My fists have now surpassed even God!
They'll grant me anything I want!
North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist challenges even God.
All its successors have become stained with greed
until it seeps into every last drop of their blood.
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist...
Leia-sama!
- Someone says he's seen Shachi! - What?
He came dressed in rags
and kidnapped an outlander woman named Lin!
What? Lin!
Do you know her?
I came to this land to bring Lin back.
Or was I drawn here by this other art...
That uses the name of the North Star?
Please tell me. Where is Shachi going?
If he's kidnapped that woman to lure you in,
then he's surely headed to the General of Asura, Han.
The General of Asura, Han?
He is another man who sold his soul to the God of ambition.
Han, third General of Asura, is another successor
to the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
What's the matter?
If you ever think I'm unguarded, go ahead and cut my throat.
Han-sama!
A new Asura has just been born in the coliseum!
Is that so? Well, what's his style?
He uses the Western Pole Style spear technique, sir.
He's requested to see you, Han-sama.
You've done well to survive to this day.
If you have any request, speak now.
Oh no, I could never ask for anything more!
This is more than enough.
This is the extent of my capabilities:
If you would allow it,
I would serve you, Han-sama, for the rest of my life.
Have you no ambition?
I have none, sir!
Then there's no reason for you to keep living.
Sir?
I'm going to be killed!
Maybe now, while he has his back turned...
Die!
I've already ended your life.
North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist Secret Technique, Crimson Controlling Death Dance!
My fist is a gale.
It moves so fast that none have even seen its shadow.
What are you looking at?
Just as I thought, you aren't a man of this land.
The men here don't show sadness in their eyes like that.
Shut up! Don't think about things like that.
Listen: Whatever you may think, I am a Rakshasa, devouring Asuras.
No, a man out to devour God himself!
I abandoned my human emotions a long time ago.
Don't forget!
You're my bait for drawing out Kenshiro
and making him fight the General of Asura, Han!
You didn't need to go to all that trouble!
- Ken will come! - What?
As long as this General, Han needs to be defeated...
Let's go to him.
Does she have no fear?
I don't understand.
Is her trust for Kenshiro really so deep?
Or is it... love?
Shachi...
Is it truly alright for me to defeat Shachi?
Sister! You are lying!
There's no way you'd want him to die!
What you want is the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist to end,
not for him to die!
I've already forgotten him.
Leia.
There's no need to forget anything yet.
Wait for him...
So you don't forget how to love.
