Kenshiro crossed the ocean in pursuit of the abducted Lin.
There he found the Land of Asura, ruled by brutal laws.
Kaioh!
Out of the way!
Stop!
Die, for the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, and for your brother!
The Demon Kaioh fears the shadow of Kenshiro,
A man of the Clan of the North Star.
So he conspired against Hyoh, the second general of Asura...
And Kenshiro's true brother.
In my absence, this was done by...
Kenshiro of the Divine Fist of the North Star.
What? Kenshiro!?
Hyoh has entered the dark world.
Now, Kenshiro stands against his wicked motive!
Even if he is my brother...
No, BECAUSE he is my brother, I must defeat him with my own fists!
Kenshiro vs. Hyoh.
A battle has begun between two brothers
that share blood from the Clan of the North Star.
Will Kaioh get the last laugh?
The sparks of battle fly in the dark Land of Asura!
THE NORTH STAR ON THE BRINK OF DEATH!
KAIOH REACHES OUT FOR THE CELESTIAL EMPEROR!!
What's he doing?
He broke it!
Kenshiro broke Hyoh's technique, the Dark Gem Heaven Destruction!
The Dark Gem Heaven Destruction
uses the overpowering evil energy's flow...
To trap the opponent inside a temporal state of zero gravity.
I see! Ken spun himself in the midst of zero gravity,
and used the centrifugal force to secure his position!
That's what I'd expect from Kenshiro-sama!
Now, my role has been fulfilled.
The time has come for the demon to fall.
The Divine Fist of the North Star is impressive...
But all that means is that you stand as an equal to me.
I can say the same to you...
Now I'll show you the TRUE essence of Divine Fist of the North Star!
It's starting!
The battle between two genuine brothers.
How regretful that we couldn't avert...
A fight between members of the Clan of the North Star.
I'm impressed, you evaded my thrust...
But you won't escape the next!
I guess my strike wasn't strong enough to shut you up, huh?
What?
No way! To keep the destruction from spreading,
he ripped out his own pressure point!?
When did you!? The speed of your strike is fearsome...
But I am second general in the Land of Asura!
I won't go down so easily.
Lin, child of the Celestial Emperor...
The battle between Kenshiro and Hyoh has already begun.
The Divine Fist of the North Star will be destroyed.
Now, the century of the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist will begin.
And I, the King of Worlds, will be the creator of the new century.
Ken... Ken won't be defeated, not ever!
You're saying that Kenshiro will win against Hyoh?
The Divine Fist of the North Star allows one to learn
every technique of the opponent he once fought with.
Having fought you once,
Ken will never lose to the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist again.
Ken will win for sure!
I see...
But you're forgetting something very critical.
Hyoh is also from the Clan of the North Star,
the family line of unlimited possibilities.
That's why I've set up this battle.
Sooner or later, Hyoh will eventually awaken.
Once that happens, there will be a fierce battle
between brothers of the North Star Clan.
Neither is superior...
All that will be left in the end will be two dead bodies.
The two will put an to end the Clan of the North Star.
My evil energy is receding.
The time draws near...
For the Clan of the North Star to perish.
There is no longer any need to hide beneath this mask.
That face...
Raoh?
So I do resemble him?
Because he held onto silly things like compassion,
Raoh fell like a helpless fool
before Kenshiro's Divine Fist of the North Star.
I'm ashamed to call him my younger brother.
You're Raoh's older brother?
That's right.
That's hardly a strike to my pressure point!
He missed the pressure point... but why?
Observe!
The space around me is warped by evil energy!
You can't accurately strike at ANY pressure points!
What's the matter, Kenshiro? Strike! Come on, strike me!
Feast your eyes on the final victor...
Soon to be the creator of a new century, Kaioh!
Compassion and love are only for fools.
Obsessed by those feelings, it's no wonder Raoh died!
No... You couldn't have beaten Raoh.
If you had fought him, you'd be certain to lose.
What did you say?
Even if you call them fools,
the ones to win in the end are those who live with love.
Lin, fools cannot become victors.
To be the final victor...
You must be one with limitless evil!
Evil is what makes a victor!
No, you're wrong!
Hyoh was also foolishly taken in by love,
meandering along paths not needed to enter the dark world.
Hyoh is nothing more than my puppet!
The one who stole his memories wasn't Jukei...
I stole them myself!
That was back when Hyoh and I trained under Jukei.
Hyoh is said to have had his memories stolen by master Jukei,
to seal away his compassion.
But, did Hyoh truly lose his memories?
He is from the Clan of the North Star.
The hidden technique which only he knows...
Is my greatest threat.
If he hadn't lost his memories, he would spell my downfall.
Right now, he and I are alone...
No one would question an accident during training!
Die!
Kaioh, why is there killer intent within your fist!?
Do you still not understand your place?
You are to be Hyoh's attendant after all...
You will live for Hyoh, and die for Hyoh.
You must understand it!
Jukei-sama!
I beg of you. Forgive Kaioh, please!
Kaioh just put too much strength into his practice!
Hyoh, I'll defer to you and leave it at that.
But the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist is a truly dangerous art!
It's a martial art which...
Only someone from the Clan of the North Star can master.
Teaching it to Kaioh may have been a mistake.
Like hell! Jukei, Hyoh...
A day will come when you'll both beg at my feet!
Kaioh.
He treated you horribly.
I won't thank you.
I've never considered you my attendant.
I've considered you a friend, ever since childhood.
Since childhood?
You remember that?
Yes. Kaioh, I can only say this to you...
But I haven't lost my memories.
I think his brief reluctance weakened Jukei-sama's technique.
But... considering Jukei-sama's feelings,
I thought it'd be better to act like I'd lost them.
Keep this a secret from Jukei-sama... see you.
You fool! How could anyone BE this foolish?
In that case,
I'll seal your memories into your body forever!
Everything has changed!
Jukei is dead,
and Hyoh moves according to my plans.
Lin, do you still claim a fool can become the victor?
Bound by compassion, dying for love...
What does that accomplish?
All it does is bind oneself.
But evil knows no restraints!
Evil is what will rule this world!
Kenshiro, without being able to strike my pressure points,
you don't stand a chance!
The Divine Fist of the North Star shall perish here!
Hyoh... If possible, I'd rather not fight you.
But this is the fate of the successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star.
Shut the hell up!
If I can't hit pressure points, I'll just crush your body!
Wake up, Hyoh!
If you've fall into the dark world...
He's strong.
A man this strong needs no tricks...
If he wanted Kaioh dead, he could fight him as an equal!
Why would a man this strong need to lay a hand on Sayaka?
Besides, this man's eyes...
Don't look like the type to kill a woman in a fit of rage.
I don't understand.
Why did you kill Sayaka? Why? Why!?
What's this white light?
Again with this image...
Kenshiro, are you this white light?
It's the aura of the God of Battles!
Also on Hyoh?
The God of Battles of the Clan of the North Star
dwells within him as well?
Once Hyoh awakens to the Clan of the North Star,
neither one of them will have any advantage.
They'll both fight using all the power they have.
They'll end up destroying each other,
and the Clan of the North Star will perish...
Lin, child of the Celestial Emperor...
When that happens, you shall become my bride
and bear the child of the creator of the new century.
