ROCK, THE HERO ON HORSEBACK!
I DON'T BELIEVE IN KENSHIRO!!
The great eldest brother, Raoh...
What were you trying to do in this land?
Chen...
How is your wound?
I'm sorry... Who are you?
Kenshiro.
Kenshiro...
You're Kenshiro?
Look at this! It's because YOU came instead of Raoh-sama...
Why must it be this way? Why wasn't it Raoh-sama?
The tragedy continues!
With the collapse of Raoh's legend,
Asuras, who aim to clean up the remnants of the rebellion,
continue to attack one village after another...
And start capturing anyone who tries to resist.
- Those are... - Asuras hunting down villagers.
They're suppressing the rebels now, huh?
The strong rule over the weak, and those who resist are killed.
This is the painful reality of this land.
Daddy!
Mommy!
Shachi... Don't you have someone you should be protecting?
I've already died once.
I'll live by my ambition, and die by my ambition...
So that this fist can conquer the land!
But why? Why go so far?
You're a strange woman...
Staying with you might make me like you!
Listen, stay away from the village.
You'll get caught up in the chaos.
Don't throw away your life.
This long, dark night will continue on, won't it?
Withered grass throughout the land,
Dyed the color of sand
For some reason, my tears are flowing,
Chasing a distant dream...
I will extinguish the flames of evil
Is that my fate, written in the stars?
The scars on my chest whisper to me...
This village is another victim of Asuras...
Is this... Is THIS land my home?
Looking up at the northern skies,
I make a vow in my heart
I will see to it...
That your sorrow is changed!
Was it the Asuras?
That's right.
- Rock, let's hurry! - Yeah.
And soon enough, turn into white sand.
Only my own hatred...
Traveler!
Pray for their souls, won't you?
Where are the women and the kids? They can't be far, go after them!
Find them! Secure the gates!
Find them! They won't escape!
Find them! When you do, kill them all!
Sister, they're gone.
So, this is where you were hiding!
You don't have to run anymore... I'll put you out of your misery!
Here, hurry up. Come with me while you can!
Right!
Come on, everyone.
This waterway leads to the outskirts of town.
Just who are you?
Just a rag, that's all...
- Jukei-sama! - Jukei-sama!
- What's going on?
- The Asuras attacked. - I see.
But you're safe now.
This swamp is a holy ground. Asuras aren't allowed here.
What is it?
Where did he...
They should be fine now.
Chen...
Kosem-sama...
Don't! You're gravely injured.
How'd I get here?
A traveler brought you. He left this, too...
This is...
Kenshiro...
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Asuras came to the village yesterday...
They took all the men away!
- What!? - Kosem-sama!
Kosem-sama!
- Where're you going, brat? - My Dad... Give my dad back!
- Ooh, I'm so scared! - Where'd you pick up that toy?
Your daddy will scold you!
The penalty for resisting us is harsh indeed!
I'll stomp your face in!
What!
Damn you!
Who the hell are you guys!
Just nameless blades of grass...
Waiting for the day flowers bloom again.
What a failure...
Rock-san!
What's with that look? Here.
Rock-san...
- Father. - Rock...
We saw the river run red, so we came back.
But what has happened in this village...
- Where's Chen? - Chen is dead.
What?
An artist of the Divine Fist of the North Star did appear.
But it wasn't Raoh-sama...
His name was Kenshiro.
Kenshiro...
He is the man who defeated Raoh-sama.
What!?
What have we... What have we waited for?
I thought I would fight beside Raoh-sama one day,
and honed my skills just for that day!
That's enough, Rock. Say no more.
Father!
Rock, it looks like this is it for me...
Father...
I've never done anything for you.
I could never let you eat your fill, even as a child...
Ordinary happiness, simple joys...
I couldn't give you any.
If only you hadn't been born here, or had a father like me...
No! I'm happy to be your son, Father.
Rock, this is the only thing I can leave to you now...
You can't die, father!
Raoh-sama will live on in our hearts... forever...
Father... Father!
I will carry on Raoh's legend.
First, we'll save the villagers! Follow me!
- Yeah!
Everyone, I am terribly saddened.
It's a shame to have to execute precious laborers like you.
But I'll at least grant you all one last honor...
The honor of being killed as an Asura's training partner!
Do it!
Yes, sir! Next!
Go!
What the?
- Charge! - Yeah!
Who the hell are you all?
We are Raoh's army!
What?
You dare mock an Asura?!
Observe, an Asura's power!
Give me a break!
I've lost to that punk?
We defeated the Asuras!
What a pathetic bunch!
Asuras have sunk pretty low lately...
What the?
I, Sheh-sama, will show you the true power of an Asura!
Intersecting Fang Cut!
I'll kill you all!
You monster!
- Alright! - He did it!
That won't do a thing!
This is how I cook.
It's you...
Fighting a monster is no easy task.
What? Who're you!
Crab dishes aren't my favorite...
Then I'll fillet YOU, cocky bastard!
You've got nowhere to run!
Are you trying to corner me?
Figuring that out now won't do you any good!
Now for the finishing touch!
Die!
Over here.
Damn you...
Huh?
- The food is ready. - Like hell! I'll eat you up!
Could that be the Divine Fist of the North Star?
Wait! You're Kenshiro, right?
I am.
Butt out next time. I don't want your help!
You know nothing of the history of the people that were repressed
in this Land of Asura, consumed in darkness.
You don't know the tears...
Of those who waited for Raoh-sama.
Because you came, and not Raoh-sama...
Why? Why have you stolen the only hope in this land?
Never show yourself in front of us again!
Why? Why have you stolen the only hope in this land?
Hyoh-sama!
The General of Asura, Han-sama's body has washed up!
Salute!
Han...
Rest in peace. I shall avenge you.
My enemy is Kenshiro!
