The Land of Asura, a hell filled with battles,
holds the hidden destiny of the North Star!
And the Demon Kaioh closes in on Lin!
You have the eyes of one that's destined
to bear everything in this world on her shoulders...
Very well... I shall take on that destiny.
Kenshiro pounds his fists of fury against his own destiny!
THE SEAL OF THE DEVIL!
2,000 YEAR TRAGEDY OF THE NORTH STAR CLAN IS REVEALED!
The key to destroying the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist
is sealed within my memories?
Indeed!
Damn you!
It's time for the spell I have placed to release its power!
Why do you intend to destroy the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist?
Answer me, master!
Those memories will soon come back to you!
You may be my master, but I cannot allow this!
You taught me the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist!
Do you believe...
The legend of the savior of the Divine Fist of the North Star?
And that the Divine Fist of the North Star is greater
than your own North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist?
- That's right. - What?
But it is not because that fist is stronger...
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist cannot be allowed to exist...
Because the karma of that fist is too heavy!
- The karma of our fist? - Indeed!
What does that even mean? You never taught me that!
At that time, I stood at the entrance of the karma
of North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, the entrance to the dark world.
Where is Ryuken?
Where is Ryuken, the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star?
Ryuken-sama is not present!
You must know that the Divine Fist of the North Star
forbids contact with other styles.
Least of all the evil North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist!
Leave this place!
Is that so?
Then try and stop the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist yourself!
Vajra!
The ground is gone! Impossible!
Is this an illusion?
Your face... Jukei!
You couldn't have reached the dark world yet...
The ultimate destination of the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist?
I have seen the dark world!
Jukei!
I can't believe this is happening!
Is this the aura of he who masters the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist?
I've heard that entering the dark world transforms the face..
To that of a devil!
Could Jukei have done that already?
So you're here, Ryuken!
The fighting spiritual energy of a devil!
This is my only chance to beat him...
before he fully grasps the power of the dark world!
North Star Wizard Spirit Lightning Bolt!
Jukei!
Where am I... What on earth did I do?
What's going on!?
So you've finally returned to your senses, Jukei.
Ryuken!
You, too, let your heart be deceived...
By the evil power of the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
What have I done!
- I was too late. - What?
Look at this.
These belong to my wife and child! I couldn't have...
When you left your home, evil had stolen your heart.
They were engulfed in your fighting spiritual energy...
They had no chance.
When mastering the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist,
it even takes the lives of your loved ones!?
How heavy can the karma of this style be!
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist is a double-edged sword!
Whether it falls to the left or to the right
depends on the heart of the man using it!
Do you understand, Hyoh?
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist only creates demons!
Now the General of Asura, Kaioh, is the great demon
who descends upon the dark world.
Kaioh's armor is not there to defend HIM...
It is to seal the evil fighting spiritual energy
which spills forth even when he is not moving!
When that armor breaks and collapses,
horrible things will happen.
Ken!
Kaioh-sama!
It's Kenshiro!
Kenshiro, the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star,
is headed to this castle!
I see!
So you're here, Kenshiro. Long have I waited...
Ken! Don't come!
Something inexplicable has a hold on Kaioh!
I can see it! It's something terrible!
Is Lin here?
Kaioh's royal guards! The impenetrable defence!
Not bad...
But only good enough to be a sacrifice
for the Demon Kaioh-sama who rules this castle.
Wait for me, Lin.
Your armor is cracking!
Do you understand, Lin?
My evil fighting spiritual energy can no longer contain
its thirst for blood.
And it craves for the blood of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Watch closely how the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist
crushes the Divine Fist of the North Star into dust!
Ken!
So Kenshiro has finally reached Kaioh?
Whoever wins, it'll be a blood bath.
Fight to your heart's content!
This will send a furious shock through the Land of Asura...
And then my time will come!
What's this?
- Akashachi-sama! - Look! Their spirits are restless...
The spirits of my men who fell pitifully in the Land of Asura.
Their spirits...
What could have made them like this?
Something is happening in the Land of Asura!
Their spirits are calling out to me!
Akashachi-sama...
What is happening in the Land of Asura?
Relive those memories, Hyoh!
I have the key to releasing the seal of the North Star...
Just what does that mean!?
Listen well, Hyoh. You and Kenshiro...
You are true brothers!
What?
You are true brothers that share the same blood!
- Nonsense! - Can you not remember?
I won't believe such foolishness!
You two are both descendants of the North Star Clan,
which has passed down the North Star's bloodline!
That art of the Clan of the North Star...
Is the origin of both the Divine Fist and Lapis Lazuli Fist!
The North Star Clan?
Yes!
And the man with the most gifted fist within the heavens
in the 2,000 year history of the North Star Clan has been born!
That is indeed Kenshiro!
Now that Raoh is gone, only the hidden technique passed down
in the Clan of the North Star can defeat Kaioh!
And the key to reviving that hidden technique...
Has been passed down only to you, Hyoh!
I can't believe this!
Awaken, Hyoh!
But you control human memories, my master!
You could have already erased it from my memory!
No hidden technique could defeat your concern...
For your little brother, or your love for him.
Love?
Indeed, love!
I don't believe in that nonsense!
No, that's not it!
That feeling itself is your mask of lies!
Damn it all! I was almost there...
It seems that keeping my fighting spiritual energy sealed
was too much for your aged body, master...
I'll no longer listen to your nonsense!
Such a shame...
Die!
Oh! Has it come back!?
Who are these children?
I'm there, too!
What's this light? What on earth is this?
A person?
My technique didn't fully take!
Will the seal of the North Star remain unbroken?
So, you're here...
Kenshiro, the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Ken! Don't come!
Lin!
This isn't the time!
I see that your seal hasn't yet been broken.
What?
There is no need for you to know...
All you will do is die.
Ken, don't fight him!
I, Kaioh, and the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist,
will be the creator of this new century!
Ken!
Is he warping space itself? I can't tell where he is!
Dark Gem Falling Destruction!
Ken!

HYOH, OPEN UP YOUR KIND SOUL!
