TRAGIC VICTIM OF LOVE!
KAIOH'S FOUNDATION OF EVIL!!
What is this?
This is the Swamp of Demons, the origin of my evil.
This holy pillar is the symbol of evil.
Whenever I stand here, I taint my body and soul.
Evil is the ultimate power!
No! The final victor will be the one with love.
Ken will surely defeat you.
Is that so? We'll see about that...
Kaioh, I knew you'd be here.
Swamp of Demons, grant me more evil fighting spiritual energy!
Who's there?
Begone, you rat!
Black Yaksha, inform Kenshiro...
The Divine Fist of the North Star stands no chance anymore.
I will let you taste the extreme fist that I have developed!
Shachi.
I've lived for your love, and will die for your love.
I have no regrets.
Shachi.
- Kenshiro-sama! - Black Yaksha, those wounds!
I'm fine, but Kaioh...
Kaioh has taken Lin-sama to the Swamp of Demons.
Kaioh has strengthened his evil energy there...
Now, the only one who can defeat Kaioh is you, Kenshiro-sama.
I will surely defeat Kaioh.
Wait!
This is Shachi's protector.
The children and I've made it hoping for the peace to come.
Wear this in your fight with Kaioh.
I will fight together with Shachi's soul.
Black Yaksha, Leia, we shall meet again.
Don't worry.
Kenshiro-sama will win. He'll surely defeat Kaioh.
Ken!
Lin...
Welcome, Kenshiro.
Kaioh!
Looks like you've broken the seal of the North Star.
But it's too late.
What?
You look like... Raoh!
Are you surprised to see this face?
- I see, you're Raoh's... - Yes, his older brother!
But I'm not like my younger brother Raoh,
a fool who gave in to love and compassion!
I hate love and I've abandoned compassion.
All I have is evil!
Why do you hate love so much?
I'll tell you before I send you to your death.
- What's that? - My mother's sad gravestone.
The gravestone of my mother who died for Kenshiro and Hyoh.
What?
We were still kids then...
It was right before the final war had started.
Wars had already started all across the world.
Raoh, do you understand what Jukei-sensei is saying?
What?
He says we are planets of the Big Dipper...
Planets that serve and die for the Clan of the North Star.
I don't understand.
If we were dogs like Ryu, we'd serve our master for life.
But we are not dogs.
- This explosion was... - It came from the Gaibu Temple.
Hurry! Mother must be there!
Mother! Is mother safe!?
- Mother! - Mother!
Boys. I'm glad you were safe.
You too, mother!
Kenshiro-sama and Hyoh-sama are in the main temple!
What?
The flames are too fierce. It's too late!
Kaioh, Raoh! Douse me with water!
Don't tell me...
I will go.
- Are you really going, mother? - Who else will? I must try!
Why? It's no use it's too late now!
And Kenshiro and Hyoh are just strangers!
Kaioh, two children are engulfed in flames...
If I abandon them now, I'd cease to be human!
You don't have to be the one to go!
To serve the Clan...
That is the fate of the planets of the North Star!
Fate... Mother!
- Mother! - Mother!
Mother! Mother!
As a child, my mother's smile was burned into my heart.
But that was the last smile I ever saw of my mother.
Eventually, the fire died out...
And I looked for my mother in the ruins.
- Mother! - Mother!
Where are you, Mother!?
- Mother! - Mother!
How can such a horrible disaster happen during my absence....
But thanks to your mother, Hyoh-sama and Kenshiro-sama
of the Clan of the North Star, were saved.
Praise your mother.
She lived life driven by the fate of the North Star,
and had true deep love.
We shall have a grand burial.
Praise her? What good does that do!
Will my dead mother come back to life if I do?!
Why did my mother have to sacrifice herself...
For the Clan of the North Star!?
Stop, brother!
Give us back our mother!
Brother, what're you doing?
We can't leave our mother with members of the Clan!
- Stop, brother! - Then go, if you don't want to!
Mother, I'll help you now.
I won't let them bury my mother.
- Brother! - Leave me!
Mother is ours. I won't let anyone touch her!
Brother...
Brother, are you burying Mother here?
That's right. Raoh, give me a hand!
Yeah.
As I cried, I made a promise...
If mother was sacrificed for the fate of the North Star,
then I will defy the fate of the North Star.
If she died for love and compassion,
then I shall annihilate all love and compassion!
Then it dawned on me...
What makes you overcome love and compassion?
What keeps you from moving before love and compassion?
Just one thing... evil!
Evil... evil!
If my heart is filled with evil,
my heart won't be in pain over my mother's death.
And I can forget Mother's last smile in the fierce fire!
Ryu?
Shut up!
Brother!
I will fill my heart with evil...
And curse the Clan of the North Star for the rest of my life!
Brother...
Brother! Ryu was just...
- Ryu! - Stop!
Brother, won't you save him? You've loved Ryu so much!
Abandon it... Abandon love and compassion!
Brother!
Brother?
It hurts... My heart hurts!
What're you doing!?
Brother!
Since then, I have erased pain from my heart.
One after another...
As I gained scars on my body,
I abandoned the love and compassion nested in my heart.
And now, there is no love or compassion left in me.
My heart is pure evil.
Love and compassion are my only enemy...
And evil will control this world!
Why do you cry?
Do you want me to spare Kenshiro?
If your heart has lost the ability to love...
Why do you fear and hate it so much?
Fear love? How immature!
There's no need for love in this world.
Love has already rusted away.
No! Love can never be destroyed, no matter what!
Don't move!
Only terror and violence can control people.
Love is just trash!
Then I shall fight for love.
I'm not like my brother Raoh,
who was defeated by you due to foolish love and compassion...
Prepare yourself and bring it on!
You would have been no match for Raoh!
Shut the hell up!
Unconscious Transmigration?
Fool, that didn't work on me before!
Ken!
I defeated your Unconscious Transmigration before... why!?
The Divine Fist of the North Star evolves.
It doesn't mean Unconscious Transmigration was defeated!
Fighting with a girl behind your back? How soft!
And this is my brother Raoh's technique!
Lin!
Do you understand Kenshiro?
Your compassion for her is your weakness...
And I will show you how foolish love is!
What?
Lin, look carefully at Kenshiro's face...
This will be the last time you see him.
I know what Lin loves the most...
And that is you! But I will destroy that love.
Kenshiro, do you know what this destructive point is?
The North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist, "shikanhaku"!
What!? "Shikanhaku!?"
When this destructive point is struck,
you'll lose all love along with the light in your eyes!
Lin!
My eyes!
I don't understand... Everything's disappearing.
Ken!
L...Lin!
Ken!
Lin!
And when she opens her eyes,
she will devote all of her love to the first person she sees!
Even if he's a dirty little villain!
Now, you do you understand how foolish and weak love is?
Evil can control even love and compassion!
Run wherever you will!
And love the first man you set eyes upon!
Lin!
Lin...
Don't panic, Kenshiro!
You're starting to look like a scarecrow.
I don't know when Lin will wake up.
Just a few seconds, or maybe in a year.
However, Lin's sleep is shallow...
She will awaken if she is roused.
It'll be fun to see who Lin falls for, won't it Kenshiro?
Ken.
I will not forgive you, Kaioh!
What I expected of the successor of the Divine Fist of the North Star!
You're finally worth defeating!
Victory will not be allowed.
The other destiny of the North Star warps Kaioh's soul!
The duel between the two North Stars begins!
