MEN BEYOND REASONS!
THE BAND OF SEVEN ATTACKS KEN!!
The man who killed the third General of Asura, Han...
That was Kenshiro?
If I defeat him, it means I'm stronger than Han.
I, Gammon-sama, will become the third General of Asura!
But, please bear in mind...
Kenshiro is supposed to be an extremely strong martial artist.
I won't lose!
But, let's be smart here!
It's my main principle to win without effort.
There's a roughneck named Rock somewhere around here, right?
Yes, sir.
Alright...
Men, attack some villages. Start with the ones nearby, go!
- Yes, sir!
Just you wait, Kenshiro!
Rock-san!
You're up early, Johann.
Please, Rock-san! Let me join Raoh's army!
You're still too young.
But I want to fight with you! I want to help out the village!
No way. If you died, your mother would be sad.
- Try and forget it. - Come on! Please, Rock-san?
We're in trouble!
Trouble!
The town in the western desert was attacked by Asuras!
What?
This is horrible...
Strange, there's no one here. Where'd the villagers go?
Who's there!
Do you see this, Rock?
That's...
We've captured all the villagers.
If you want them back safe, eliminate Kenshiro!
What? Kenshiro?
What the hell are you saying?!
Stop it!
Try anything stupid, and the villagers are dead...
All of them, not a woman or child will be left alive!
I can't hear your answer...
Rock...
Fine, I understand. We'll defeat Kenshiro!
In return, don't lay a finger on any of the villagers!
Good, you have one day! Don't forget now!
- What cowards! - It's fine.
Kenshiro had no business coming here anyway...
He'll die for the villager's sake!
We've been looking for you, Kenshiro!
I thought you didn't want to see me again?
Now I have no choice, but this will be the last time!
Amazing! So this is how Rock-san fights? Here I go!
End of the line, Kenshiro!
I've got you!
Those who try to defeat me will answer to this fist...
But I don't want to kill you.
Why not?
What's in your eyes is not an intent to kill, just a sadness.
Don't talk like you understand me!
Alright! Now!
I've done it! I defeated Kenshiro!
Now the village can be saved!
Is he dead?
How pathetic, he didn't even wait for us to join in!
Keep your promise and return the villagers!
Of course, I'll show you to my secret fort.
The villagers are there.
You two find Kenshiro's body!
- Yes, sir!
Bunch of fools!
Yeah! They don't know they'll get killed once they get to the fort.
What? I have to tell Rock-san quickly!
Oh, no!
Who's there?
Only cowards betray others!
What's the deal, brat?
You overheard us, so you'll have to die!
Die!
Whoa there, this road's blocked!
- Here you go! - It's over!
It's you!
You're still alive?!
You're awake?
I'll have to beat you after I save Rock-san!
Don't push yourself.
Relax, it's not poisoned.
You can't deceive me like this. I'm still Rock-san's right-hand!
- Is that so? - You wouldn't understand...
The sadness Rock-san feels as he fights!
Look at this dirt!
Rock-san once told me...
The blood of the villagers has soaked into the dirt of this land.
Even when Rock-san was a child, his fight had already began!
Rock, I can't take it anymore. I can't become an Asura!
Don't cry... come on, how about living with me in the village?
If you join the village, you won't have to fight.
Are you the kid who fled the training ground?
Stay back! He said he didn't want to fight!
No can do...
In this land, those who don't want to fight are just trash.
Like you and your father!
What? We're no trash!
Father and I both take pride in not fighting!
Is that so?
It's honorable NOT to fight!
Wait, please!
Mother!
Please let them go.
Please forgive what he had just said!
You're his mother?
Mother!
Rock...
Mother! Mother!
Well, aren't you angry?
If you're angry, little brat, then come get some! Fight me!
Come on, bring it on!
What a coward.
Even then, Rock didn't fight.
Because he swore deep down
that one day, he'd bring down the whole Land of Asura.
He waited so long for the legendary Raoh to arrive.
If Rock-san got killed, I would...
This land would come to an end!
There's no time...
Get some sleep.
I knew it'd come to this.
I can't let word get out that you killed Kenshiro.
What's so funny?
Having lived under Asura tyranny, did you honestly think...
We trusted your word?
What?
Our goal was to learn where the villagers were.
Look!
The people have already sided with us!
But you people hate to fight! Can you can defeat us Asuras?
Take this!
The Cursed Dragon Asura Slashing Stance
will send you to hell!
What's this?
Kill them all!
- Oh, no! - Mom! I'm scared, Mom!
Mom!
Enough! If you must kill, then just kill me!
Do it however you like! Kill me and release the rest!
What's that?
Please, at least spare the women and the children!
Please promise me it's going to be only me!
Maybe I'll consider it AFTER you're dead!
Die!
Kenshiro!
Stay back, Rock.
So you are alive, Kenshiro?!
I'll have to take care of you first, then!
Get him!
What are you, a crayfish?
Why you... take this!
Armored Fang Iron Penetrating Stab!
Get a load of my poison needles!
Die by your own poison!
Can't move...
- Yes! - Alright!
Kenshiro-san...
You've saved many lives, and I thank you.
Value your life, Rock.
If you die, what would happen to these villagers?
And your mother's blood soaked into the dirt?
Kenshiro-san...
- Rock-san! - Johann! Why are you hurt?
- Just a run-in with Asuras. - What?
Actually, I was about to be attacked,
but Kenshiro saved me.
- Kenshiro-san did? - Yeah, he even bandaged me up,
and brought me water too. What's he after anyway?
Come, Johann.
It looks like this land finally has new hope.
Johann, I'm not the one to carry on Raoh's legend...
It's Kenshiro-san!
