Kenshiro has crossed the ocean in pursuit of Lin,
the kidnapped Celestial Emperor.
There awaits a hell of battles, the Land of Asura.
Another North Star now stands in Kenshiro's way.
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, used by the Asura General Han.
The fierce battle between Kenshiro and Han has begun.
I can't believe this!
He couldn't be...
He is the terrifying ruler, Raoh!
Spill forth, red flow!
Let the whole land know that Raoh has invaded!
It's the signal The red water.
In the Land of Asura, everything is equipped for Raoh's invasion.
It's going to get interesting...
- Raoh!
What is the goal behind Shachi's bold tactics?
And what of Kenshiro and Han's battle?
Which North Star will victory smile upon?
Will Kenshiro make the final blow to the codes of Asura?
KENSHIRO'S SECRET IS REVEALED!
THE LAND OF ASURA IS HIS MOTHERLAND!!
The red flow!
It's Raoh! Raoh has come!
The legend of the savior was true after all!
Our Raoh-sama has finally arrived!
We'll be saved! Raoh-sama will defeat the Generals of Asura!
The time we've waited for has finally come.
Jukei-sama!
Jukei-sama, the rivers are running red!
Raoh has finally come to this land...
The red water will terrify Asuras, and fill the villagers with joy.
I, Jukei, can now die...
Jukei-sama!
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist must never be passed down!
I broke that code and taught the art to three men...
They became the Generals of Asura,
and ruled this land with a code of cruelty.
That was the beginning of hell in Asura.
But Raoh could free us from this hell!
But why were you certain Raoh would come?
Why do all people in this land,
even the Asuras and generals, believe in his legend?
This is the motherland of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
And the home of Raoh.
People eventually set out for their homeland.
I haven't fought a man this skilled in a while.
My heart swells with joy!
Whoa there...
I've still got a use for you!
You are strong... But there's no way that you're Raoh!
What is your name?
I am Kenshiro. I defeated Raoh!
What? Kenshiro!?
He's not Raoh?
It's too late.
The red water signalling Raoh's invasion is already flowing.
Everything is going my way.
I see.
So you're the true successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star,
Kenshiro?
Then you're all the more worthy as my opponent!
You've grown strong.
You were the infant who sailed from this land in Raoh's arms.
What does that mean?
You were one of the three children sent from this land
by Jukei, the successor to the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
What?
It was over twenty years ago now...
The times were rushing down towards the path to destruction.
This land was invaded by a military superpower.
It was on the verge of annihilation.
When I realized that civilization would some day collapse,
and everything would begin from nothing again,
I sent out three boys from this land...
Raoh, Toki and Kenshiro.
I'm counting on you, Raoh, Toki!
Ryuken, the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star,
is waiting on the other side of that ocean.
You must master the Divine Fist of the North Star,
and become its successors.
When it all begins from nothing again,
the power of the fist will rule the new age.
One day, you shall return to your motherland...
Raoh, Toki, Kenshiro!
I sent those three boys to Ryuken.
But still, I felt concerned...
There must be an art to suppress the violence of the century's end!
Blinded by that wish, I also taught the forbidden
North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist to three other boys at that time.
But that was a mistake.
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist holds limitless dangers.
All three of them lost themselves in its dark powers
and became the Generals of Asura, the rulers of this land.
They are, the third General of Asura, Han.
The second General of Asura, Hyoh.
And the first General of Asura, Kaioh.
But that is over as well.
Raoh will become the legendary savior
and resolve everything!
That's strange...
The man who came to this land wasn't called Raoh.
What?
I believe his name was Kenshiro.
What?!
I came from this land?
This is indeed your home.
Ken!
- He did it! - Han-sama is strong all right!
You've seen the invincible North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
Winning the battle decides everything.
This is the cruel code of the Land of Asura!
Ken!
Intense!
So this is what the battle between the North Star is like!
Looks like your legs are paralyzed now.
I've faced more real battles than you have...
And slowly bound your legs as we fought.
You can no longer move.
My fists struck your secret destructive points,
or the "secret pressure points" in Divine Fist of the North Star.
And next, I'll strike right through your heart!
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist: Cutting Wind Swallow Break!
What?
Why?
Why did my strike miss your secret destructive point?
Just as you sealed my legs,
I have been sealing the nerves in your eyes.
That won't work on me!
It's over, Han!
Taste for yourself the cruel code that plagues this Land of Asura.
I've completely lost...
Just what I'd expect from the man who defeated Raoh.
But you won't be able to defeat Hyoh.
Who the hell is this Hyoh?
Hyoh is the second General of Asura.
No one but Raoh can defeat him...
Not Even if you ARE stronger than Raoh.
A path more brutal than hell stretches ahead of you...
Turn back!
Turn back, or that destiny will crush your body and soul!
Turn back! Turn back, Kenshiro!
You're saying it wasn't Raoh, but Kenshiro who came here?
Yes.
Not good!
None but Raoh can save this land!
Jukei-sama, why?
There is a reason Kenshiro cannot become the savior...
Why does my blood boil?
Does the blood in my veins sense a destiny here,
as it did in my battles with Raoh?
Why?
Ken!
Lin.
You're Shachi, right?
Shachi, your father is waiting on that ship.
He'll come to meet you once he sees this smoke signal.
Return to Akashachi.
Lin, you should return as well.
Bat and your sister are waiting.
And you, Ken?
I must go.
Ken!
Go home!
Have a family with the man you love, and raise children.
I'm not going back. I abandoned my father.
The Land of Asura has already begun to tremble.
I'll live in this land with my ambition.
Lin, what about you?
Lui, Bat...
Have a family with the man you love, and raise children...
Then I'll stay here, Ken!
This may be the only selfish thing I've done in my life...
But even if this isn't meant to be,
I'm staying with Ken!
