In the Land of Asura,
Kenshiro collapsed before the first general of Asura,
facing Kaioh's strong evil energy.
Shachi, who was awakened by his father's soul, rescued Kenshiro.
His evasive journey has started!
Let me ask you one thing...
What does that man in the coffin mean to you?
Everything!
Even if my body gets torn apart, he is everything I must protect!
Everything?
For any man to go that far, he must be no ordinary corpse.
Take good care of him!
Yes, sir!
A man who understands another man's heart.
Shachi's greatest crisis seemed to have passed...
However, the Demon Kaioh is alive!
Wake up, Ken! Stand up, Kenshiro!
Kenshiro, we're almost there.
Beyond this hill there's a shed where I used to train.
Once we're there...
It's hot...
KAIOH'S EVIL DECISION!
COLD BLOOD RUNS THROUGH MY BODY!!
Old man, long time no see...
- Shachi-sama! - Take care of him!
Shachi-sama.
Ken, you're alright now.
Shachi-sama, who is this?
Kenshiro, a man from the Clan of the North Star,
and successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Is he dead?
His heart has stopped, but his body is still warm.
I've heard from my master Jukei that...
There's a secret art in the Divine Fist of the North Star
that restricts the activity in the body to restores its energy.
The result seems no different from a corpse...
But Kenshiro IS alive.
Hurry and wake up, Ken.
I'm sorry, I might have to trouble you for a while.
Please, don't worry. Stay as long as you wish.
Say, Shachi-sama...
Did your wound eye to save Kenshiro-sama?
Yes... doesn't it look good, though?
It does!
It's the eye patch my father used to wear.
Father, I lost my left eye to rescue Kenshiro.
But I don't regret it. In fact, I am proud of myself!
Wouldn't you agree, Father?
Would you tell me that I did well, Father...
What is it!?
Cain-sama, a message has arrived from Kaioh-sama.
What!? What does Kaioh want from me?
Cain-sama, what does the message say?
There are two men who stand in the way of the Land of Asura.
Whoever defeats these men named Kenshiro and Shachi...
Whoever defeats them...
Will be given the position of Third Asura General!
- Given the position... - A general of Asura!?
I, Cain, was said to be equal in strength to the generals...
I just never had the chance to prove it,
so I remained an officer.
But, now! Now I will rise to the top!
This is the chance of a lifetime to prove my strength!
I'll defeat the punks, Kenshiro and Shachi...
And become the general of Asura!
Old man, keep an eye on Kenshiro.
But Shachi-sama, your own wounds have not healed yet.
Don't worry, my wounds don't compare to Kenshiro's suffering.
I understand. Please be careful.
Just leave it to me. I'll bring back some big prey.
When Ken wakes up,
he'll need some food for his blood and muscles.
Your food stocks just aren't hearty enough... see you!
Good-bye.
Find him! Find Kenshiro! Didn't you see a suspicious man?
One is a left-for-dead, the other is a young man!
Find them! Give us any information!
There was a stranger dragging a coffin!
- He was headed for the mountains! - Hurry! After them!
Ken, please be safe. Ken...
- Lin-san, your meal is ready. - Thanks.
Ken.
Such a strange man...
Shachi-sama, who lost himself in his ambitions,
is so protective of you.
Maybe this man is the savior of this land?
Who are you?
Hey geezer, stay still! We have all the info we need!
That's Kenshiro sleeping right there, right?
Hand him over. If you do, we'll spare your life.
- Now hand him over! - No, this man is not Kenshiro.
Shachi-sama! Hurry, hurry back!
Move it, old fart!
I can't hand him over!
No matter what, I can't hand this man over!
- What!? What nerve!
You bastard! You dare defy us!?
Kenshiro-sama...
- What a waste of time! - THIS is Kenshiro?
He looks dead, doesn't he?
There's no reason for Cain-sama to dirty his hands personally...
- Should we just take his head? - Why not!
- Let's do it! - What?
- What's going on?
- What's that sound? - Hurry up and do it!
- Here we go! - Ready, set...
- What the...? - What happened?
- Cain-sama! - Calm down!
Aw man!
Damn Asuras, they found us!
Ken... is Ken alright?
Ken!
- Kenshiro! - What? That's him!?
- Kenshiro!
So that's Kenshiro?
Do it now! Get him all at once!
Unbelievable!
He's been unconscious and basically dead this whole time.
Regular Asuras don't stand a chance, huh?
Then I, Cain, will defeat you and rise to the top!
K... Ken!
His body has turned to steam and disappeared!
What!? My art doesn't work...
That was Cain's greatest strike! An art said to be as great...
As the general of Asura's, does nothing to him!?
Damn it!
Die!
The waterfall is flowing backwards... is this a dream!?
Ken... you're revived?
Old man!
Hang in there, old man.
- I am alright... - That's good...
Ken, how are your wounds?
Your father, Akashachi's life,
this old man's heart, and your eye...
Have healed my wounds.
How I wish my father could hear those words...
Shachi, I owe you. What do you wish from me?
Use my body as if it were your own.
Kenshiro, we only have one wish...
The same as you, we want Kaioh's life!
There is nothing else!
Is that really all you want?
Understood.
You shall witness my battle!
Ka... Kaioh-sama!
Kenshiro has been revived. Cain's army was annihilated.
Cain?
Damn Kenshiro...
The Clan of the North Star is fearsome.
No matter how incredible I, Kaioh may be...
I am threatened by the unlimited possibilities
of the Clan of the North Star!?
I must destroy the Clan of the North Star at any cost...
Where is Lin? Still with Sayaka?
Yes sir, Sayaka-sama says she will not hand over Lin.
She won't even let us enter the room.
Hyoh-sama is currently on his way here...
When Hyoh-sama arrives,
I think Sayaka-sama will be in a better mood.
Hyoh... The other man of the Clan of the North Star?
Sayaka, I'll see you soon!
Hyoh...
Hyoh!
- Lin, you crossed that ocean? - I did.
I was raised here, so I've never crossed that ocean.
I always just stare at it from right here.
When this land is at peace, I'd like to cross that ocean..
Together with Hyoh.
But for that to happen, Kaioh must be...
Lin, I can't believe it. Yes, my brother is a harsh man...
But he's always been good to me.
Ken was... Ken was defeated by Kaioh.
But Ken will return, and he will defeat him.
What should I do? I want to help my brother...
But I cannot just hand you to him!
I have an idea... Hyoh!
Hyoh will be here soon. We should talk to him!
I'm sure Hyoh will settle all of this with my brother.
Right...
Brother!
Brother...
Stop, brother! I want to help Lin!
You weren't ever like this before...
It's the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist!
That style has changed you!
You fell into the dark world of the North Star...
And you've lost yourself!
Please, turn back to who you used to be!
Brother...
Brother!
What are you doing?
- Sayaka-san! - Brother...
The destructive point, "mukanha." You should feel no pain.
Why?
All for Kaioh, the King of Worlds.
But I am your only sister... Why me, your sister?
It's natural for a sister to die for her brother.
I don't need forgiveness. I feel no appreciation.
Every living thing in this world exists for Kaioh.
For the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist...
To create a new century, sacrifices are needed!
Stop!
Out of the way!
Kaioh!
Die, for the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, and for your brother!
Stop!
Hyoh...
Sayaka-san!
