A CRUEL PROPHECY!
KENSHIRO, YOU CANNOT BE THE SAVIOR!!
- Raoh. - Raoh.
The river has turned red. Raoh-sama has finally come!
Look at this!
This is the proof of a promise between Raoh-sama and I.
- Wow.
When this land was about to turn into hell by the Asuras,
I've risked my life and crossed the ocean
to notify Raoh-sama of this crisis!
I understand. I'll promise you.
As soon as I seize this century's end in my hands,
I will surely cross the ocean.
This will be the proof of my words.
That nation is my motherland. There's nowhere else to return to.
Ra... Raoh-sama.
I truly believe that you are the savior of our land.
Raoh-sama kept his promise, as I knew he would.
Raoh-sama is the ultimate ruler of the century's end!
I'm sure he will release us from the hell of Asura!
Now is the time for us to rise with Raoh-sama!
Grab your weapons and let us change this land!
- Right!
- Raoh. - Raoh.
It's Raoh! Raoh has come!
The legendary myths of the savior were all true...
The terrifying Raoh is coming! We're all going to die!
- I can't be here. - What're you doing!?
What do you think! I'm going to run before Raoh gets here!
Damn it! This car is a piece of junk!
Hey, wait! Take me, too!
- Hey, let me on! - Idiot! Find another car!
- Don't stop so suddenly! - It's Raoh...
What!?
- Buron-sama...
Where are you going?
Well, n-nowhere...
Are you so afraid of Raoh?
N-no sir... It's n-nothing like that!
Don't worry.
Raoh has not crossed the ocean. It was a man named Kenshiro.
- Oh, it wasn't Raoh? - Then we don't have to run!
- Thank goodness... - Yeah!
But as for those of you who tried to run without fighting!
You are cowards who aren't worthy of being Asuras...
You are no longer Asuras!
- Raoh. - Raoh.
We must first save the children in the training grounds.
Now is the time! We have Raoh-sama on our side.
Go forward! Fight without fear!
What happened!?
There are so many! Where'd they come from?
Rescue the children!
What is that?
The door...
We came to save you!
Dad! What's happening?
- Raoh-sama has finally arrived! - Really?
Rejoice! You don't have to become an Asura anymore!
Dad!
- Dad! - Joe!
How unfortunate...
Listen carefully!
Raoh, the one you call the savior, is already dead.
- What!? - That's impossible!
The one who arrived on our land is a man named Kenshiro.
This Land of Asura won't be threatened by a punk like him!
He won't even be able to lay a finger on us.
- Raoh-sama is... - Dead?
It's too late to regret.
It's actually a good opportunity.
I, Buron-sama, will crush every single one of you rebels!
The Big Dipper...
Why?
Why does my blood boil?
This land... What is it about this land?
In pursuit of abducted Lin,
Kenshiro crossed the only ocean left in this world.
It was a cruel hell where winning a battle is everything,
the Land of Asura!
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...
Falco.
This land has another North Star style, too...
North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist. It is used by
the three generals who rule the Land of Asura.
And the man with burning ambition, Shachi.
Akashachi has awaited his son's return on the pirate ship.
Despite his hope,
Shachi, disguised as a rag, was waiting for his chance.
- GET LOST! - 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?
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!
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.
About a man named Shachi.
If you have any idea where he might be headed,
I'd like to know.
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.
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.
But I didn't know this Land of Asura was my homeland...
It was over twenty years ago now...
The times were rushing down towards the path to destruction.
I'm counting on you, Raoh, Toki!
When it all begins from nothing again
the power of the fist will rule the new age.
I sent out three boys from this land...
Return to your home one day... Raoh, Toki, Kenshiro!
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, or that destiny will crush your body and soul!
Turn back! Turn back, Kenshiro!
Why can nobody but Raoh defeat the General Hyoh?
Why?
This is...
What in... What happened?
Why... didn't Raoh-sama come...
So, you're Kenshiro!?
Luck is on my side...
I'll be famous for killing the man who beat Han!
You are the one who killed these villagers?
That's right. In the Land of Asura, winning is everything!
There's no need for words.
Raoh-sama...
Raoh-sama... why?
They say it's proof of a promise with Raoh.
Counting on this damn thing! What a bunch of idiots...
You wouldn't understand the sadness of these villagers.
Not one damn bit!
Because of this, they wouldn't give up their foolish hopes.
Bastard! I'm gonna...
My arms are moving on their own...
Help me!
I thought an Asura had no need for words?
As punishment for killing these innocent people...
Repent in hell!
Let's get out of here!
Raoh...
I no longer have a path to go back to!

The Asuras run to the annihilation of Raoh's legend.
Then, the seven warriors return to the wasteland of slaughter!
