Hyoh vowed eternal loyalty to Kaioh and turned into a demon.
Those who defied Kaioh have been killed by Hyoh's hands,
and their villages have been burned to the ground.
They now call him the Second Demon Hyoh, second only to Kaioh.
THE TYRANT HYOH AND HIS SORROWFUL AIDE!
WHO WILL STOP HIM NOW?!
He's changed... Hyoh-sama has changed.
I, Nagato, have served Hyoh-sama as his number one aide, but...
I can no longer understand that man's intentions.
But I can't believe it. Why has Hyoh-sama...?
When I first met Hyoh-sama, I was a mere Asura...
Almost there, you guys!
Once we're in the ocean, we won't be followed. We'll be safe!
- Dear! - Dad! Dad, over there!
You are not allowed to leave the Land of Asura.
Ka... Kaioh-sama!
Please forgive us!
My family only seeks a peaceful land!
Please forgive us, Kaioh-sama!
This Land of Asura is the land of Kaioh.
Those who defy Kaioh will die.
Please forgive us. I don't care what happens to me,
please just spare my wife and children!
I refuse to listen to this!
Kaioh...
Hyoh-sama!
You say you want to cross the ocean in this small boat?
Those people will never return to this land.
It's likely they will perish in the deep sea.
To let them go would show your capacity as a general.
What!?
Please, no more punishments!
Hyoh-sama's eyes at the time were filled with deep sorrow.
I felt something significant in Hyoh-sama then...
Something Kaioh-sama lacks.
And since then, I had believed Hyoh-sama would defeat Kaioh,
and some day become the savior of this land.
That is why I decided to serve Hyoh-sama.
But now Hyoh-sama has vowed eternal loyalty to Kaioh.
It's unfortunate...
That we can no longer...
Fight under this flag!
- What's wrong? - No...
It's nothing.
Shachi!
It must be from Kaioh's evil energy!
You've been hiding it all this time, Shachi?
I'm alright now... let's go.
Let's hurry to Kaioh.
Shachi?
Shachi!
What happened?
K...Kenshiro!
If you know who I am, then decide now...
Fight me, or leave. I'm in a hurry!
This man's eyes...
He's alright now.
If he sleeps through the night, the pain will yield.
There is no wound that can't be healed by my father's medicine.
When dad gets hurt, that's what he uses.
But he's strong, so he doesn't need it often.
That's true.
Dad, you're so cool!
This is my clan's village. Relax, rest as long as you like.
Thank you.
Dad...
Tetsu.
I'm glad... I thought you'd already returned to the castle.
Yomu, Tetsu.
Dad.
Nagato.
Father.
Those men are Kenshiro and Shachi, who fought Kaioh-sama.
I know.
Then why?
I don't know. But that man's eyes...
What?
That man's eyes had the gleam of sadness.
Just like Hyoh-sama used to have...
Like Hyoh-sama used to?
I want that man to live...
Perhaps I want to stake the future of this land on that man.
I want to believe in the gleam of sadness in that man's eyes.
I won't say anything if that's what you've decided...
By the way, it's been a while, Nagato.
Indeed.
Why did you return at a time like this?
I must go.
Na... Nagato?
Father, if I do not return,
please take care of my sons, and the clan.
What?
Tomorrow, I will risk my life to voice my opinion to Hyoh-sama
for the first and the last time.
That is my duty as his number one aide.
Na... Nagato...
I'm sorry, Father.
Vice General Nagato, and your four aides...
What is it, Nagato?
What!? That is our army's flag!
We, the five aides of Hyoh-sama...
Have come to state our parting from Hyoh-sama.
Wh... what!?
Parting?
Yes, sir. We have always thought that one day you would wake up
and defeat Kaioh, which is why we served you to this day.
However... however!
Hyoh-sama, you've become a demon just like Kaioh.
Our hope for this land has been sealed!
- We have lost the will to live in this land!
Is that all you have to say?
What's the matter?
Is that all!!?
- Farewell, Hyoh-sama!
Hy... Hyoh-sama!
This is the land of Kaioh!
Those who do not obey Kaioh will die.
No exceptions, Nagato.
You've changed... You've changed too much.
We cared about you like a big brother.
What happened to the light that you used to have?
Are you going to fight me with your skills?
Hyoh-sama...
Tears are so pitiful! Who would fight bearing sadness?
You used to...
You used to cry deep in your heart every time you fought!
Forgive me!
Hyoh-sama!
No matter where you look inside Hyoh's body,
you won't find a single tear!
The evil energy has finally
blown away that deeply rooted compassion in Hyoh's body.
There is nothing to worry about his battle with Kenshiro now.
Go! Burn down the traitor Nagato's village!
- Right!
Nagato's clan, and his followers! Burn them with the village!
- Right!
Kill them! Eradicate them!
Here they are! Nagato's father and sons!
What are you doing?
You know that we are the family of the Vice General Nagato?
- We are more than aware. - You won't feel a thing!
Just one thrust, and it'll all be over.
But Why? What has happened to Nagato?
You don't mean! Nagato has...?
Kaioh-sama and Hyoh-sama think and act as one.
Those who do not vow loyalty to Kaioh-sama
will be destroyed along with their families!
Which means...
Nagato has already been killed by Hyoh-sama.
How could you!?
So relax... and meet your son in Hell!
- Grandpa! - Grandpa!
- You guys are next! - Alright, cut them up!
- Tetsu! - Brother!
- Idiot! Not me! - What the?
What's happening?
I was looking straight ahead, but now I see behind me...
A hand is coming out of the flames!
Sorry we're late.
- Ke... Kenshiro! - Why is he here?
It's dangerous here. Let's go to the forest.
- Grandpa!
- Grandpa, hang in there! - Grandpa!
It's alright. He'll probably make it.
I don't get it.
Why did Hyoh-sama's troops attack our village?
This is Hyoh-sama's village too!
Hyoh? Hyoh's men attacked the village?
Hyoh-sama did not listen to what my son had to say.
Nagato... Nagato's life was taken by Hyoh-sama... why?
- Grandpa! - Grandpa!
- Don't die! - Grandpa!
Ken, are you going to Hyoh?
Wait! Are you going to fight Hyoh no matter what?
But he's your real brother. Is this Kenshiro's destiny?
Is it an unavoidable fate of the North Star Clan?
Kenshiro, can you win against the fate of the North Star?
Kenshiro, can you defeat your true brother?
Kenshiro, you must not fight Hyoh!
Why not?
Because Hyoh is...
Your true older brother!
What!?
Will you still go, Kenshiro? To defeat your real brother!
...I kill the fight, something inside me
I kill the fight, heart without heart...
I will defeat it now!
I kill the fight...
I will, even if he is my brother.
No, BECAUSE he is my brother, I must defeat him with my own fists!
Next Episode
BATTLE OF THE BLOOD BROTHERS!
TEARS WILL NEVER RETURN TO HYOH!!
The destined brothers have finally been reunited!
However, it is the beginning of a deadly battle
between Hyoh and Kenshiro!
On the next episode of Fist of the North Star 2!
BATTLE OF THE BLOOD BROTHERS!
TEARS WILL NEVER RETURN TO HYOH!!
