THE GENERAL OF ASURA, HAN!
THE MAN WHO STAINS WHITE SNOW CRIMSON!!
This time we're going to take bring him back.
Akashachi-sama! We've come for you!
If you stay, the Asuras will attack any moment!
Shachi, you won't be coming back today...
Come on, let's get out of here!
I made a promise to him.
With the man who had those pure, sharp eyes.
I'll wait here, even if I end up as a skeleton.
Akashachi-sama...
Shachi, my son, please be alive.
Please live and meet up with that man of the North Star.
That's Han's castle there.
He's one of the Generals of Asura who rule this land.
You're my bait to make Kenshiro fight Han, the General of Asura.
Aren't you scared?
You are the sacrifice on the altar of my ambition.
Ken will... I know Ken will come save me.
This woman is strong...
Strong, but with a sad look in her eyes.
Kenshiro surely won't abandon her.
It was the same for me back then.
Shachi, you are leaving?
Yes, sir.
Thank you for saving me after I'd washed up here unconscious.
That's alright.
Words cannot express my gratitude.
But I must return...
My father... he's waiting for me out in the ocean.
What did you tell Leia?
I haven't told her anything.
I'll leave without saying anything.
I'm certain that Leia already knows.
What do you mean?
This boat... the one you're in now was built by Leia.
What'd you say?
This land is isolated, no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Even knowing that, Leia built this boat.
That's why Leia's hands were so...
Yes, they were blistered from building the boat.
She must have known you'd be returning home someday.
So she insisted she would build it.
Your hands...
Oh, you mean this? I gave her a little help.
Leia once said,
if you stayed here, it would cost you your life.
So it would be better to separate like this.
What will happen to Leia now?
She's a beautiful girl. She'll be an Asura's bride.
Or, if she refuses, she'll be killed.
Leia!
Leia...
Father! He's waiting for me!
But can I... What should I...
Goodbye, Shachi.
Shachi, live for me!
Leia!
Shachi!
Father, I can't do it. I can't abandon Leia!
I stayed in this land.
Victory determines all in the Land of Asura.
So I had to become a demon of battles.
A demon that even devours gods!
The things around me are only tools to pursue my ambition.
Like this woman, and Kenshiro too.
Queen to bishop six. Check.
Han-sama, your drink.
You tried to poison Han-sama!
At ease.
I don't know who put you up to this...
But this poison isn't enough to kill me.
You'll be a prisoner for life, with no hope of escape.
- Bring me another! - Yes, sir.
Han-sama, there's a rag here,
who wants to present a beautiful woman to you.
Here. Pay your respects to the General of Asura, Han-sama.
Sir! I have found an extraordinary woman.
Asura General Han-sama, I would like you to have her.
Hey jerk, move your ass!
Hey! Are you deaf?
That bastard!
Die!
Huh?
Where the hell did he go?
Right here.
What's the big idea!
I'm the Asura who controls this district!
Then you must know...
Where is the castle of the Asura General Han?
Don't you talk big!
I wouldn't tell you even IF I knew!
In fact, I just forgot. So die!
Remember now? Where's Han!
Don't know...
Oh, really?
I hit your pressure point, "zusho."
Even if you don't speak, you'll point to Han's castle.
What the? I-Impossible!
That's it?
No! I mean, I don't know! I don't know anything!
Hey, what's gonna happen to me now?
Hey, you, hold on!
He's...
Disguised as a rag to get close to me? How clever...
So you knew, huh?
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist Twin Reverse Consignment?
Where did you steal that technique from?
My name is Shachi. I'm here to take your head!
Die!
Shachi!
How trite.
Impressive, Asura General Han! If not for this, I'd be dead now.
- What is it? - What happened?
An impudent fool.
My fist is the gale.
It moves so fast that no one has even seen its shadow.
Whoa, there.
I'll need a sacrificial pawn to see your movements through.
I'll give you this woman.
What?
This woman will bring your doom one day.
Treat her nicely in the meantime.
What is this all about?
It all means you'll be defeated very soon.
What?
I see! You claim that my invincible and undefeated art,
the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, can be defeated?
Even if it WAS a lie, you're an interesting woman...
I've never seen a woman with such sharp eyes before.
That woman doesn't lie.
Check.
All you can do now is throw your life away.
Just watch, Han.
Soon, a messenger from hell will guide you there!
What's this?
What was that shadow?
Hey, you! What happened here?
I must report to Han-sama!
Don't tell me, he's already...
Ken!
It's true... Ken's really here!
Lin, I've come for you.
- Ken! - Enough!
You'll have to defeat me if you want this woman.
Why? There's no need to fight.
Why?
Because you're strong!
Is your style an art of assassination?
You hid your presence well.
To slip past me is no ordinary feat...
But this land enforces isolation, and all intruders must die.
Han-sama? There's a suspicious shadow...
What happened to your face?
Who the hell is this? He's glaring at me!
- Hey, stop looking at me! - That's YOUR face.
That's impossible! My face isn't that deformed!
This style is the North Star.
That's right. The Divine Fist of the North Star!
What? The Divine Fist of the North Star?
Do you know of it?
How could I not, when I too use the art of the North Star?
Very well...
It's been a long time since I was relieved of boredom!
Come! I'll at least show some respect
and send you to sleep under the heavens!
Kenshiro certainly showed up fast!
It's all going as planned...
Shachi?
I told you Ken would come.
Snow...
Snow, huh? In this land, even white snow turns blood red.
As I, too, have changed...
Snow, huh? It calls out for your blood.
Does it?
Measuring the distance with your arm?
What a waste of time. You won't get that close.
I'll begin, then!
What's the matter? This is the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist,
Rapid Fire Glimmering Wind! Did my gale fist shock you?
I thought you'd have some spine in you...
But it seems you're no match for me after all.
Not even enough to entertain me...
Are you sure about that?
What are you babbling about?
Your range is also my range.
You don't seem to see my fist, either.
I'm so happy, I'm getting goosebumps!
There is no game more thrilling than one with lives at stake.
We each have a fifty-fifty chance. There will be no draw!
