FIST OF THE NORTH STAR 2
THE FINAL EPISODE
Lin.
I can't die just yet...
I must witness the battle between Kenshiro and Kaioh!
The fate of the North Star...
The fate of the North Star will bring yet another tragedy.
FAREWELL, KENSHIRO!!
FAREWELL, DIVINE FIST OF THE NORTH STAR!!
Here we go, Kenshiro!
I now will dispel the 2,000 years of disgrace endured...
By the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
With the resentment of my mother, the founder Ryuoh...
And my own hatred!
Perish, Divine Fist of the North Star!
Today, its 2,000 year history will come to an end.
Ken!
You mustn't go, Bat!
This is a battle between men who stake their lives on their fists.
It is our duty to but bear witness.
Here I come!
Dark Gem Aerial Breaking Destruction!
Fighting Spiritual Energy Fraction!
Damn you!
It won't work on me. Your evil aura won't win!
Neither of the Clan of the North Star's art within my body,
nor my evil fighting spiritual energy works anymore?
Is that the strength of the Divine Fist of the North Star?
Have I reached the limit of my art!?
I won't accept it!
I have the will and the pride that has driven me...
To be the creator of the new century!
I am Kaioh, the First General of the Land of Asura!
Mother!
Mother...
Even if the heavens and the land reversed,
I wouldn't change my ways.
Please give me the strength for one last attack!
Mother!
Kenshiro!
It's over.
You're in shock! The sky's falling down with love...
It has been a long way.
The tragedy of the North Star that began 2,000 years ago...
Has finally ended.
...now, it is useless.
I'll down the bastard who gets in my way with just one fingertip!
You're in shock! Heartbeats rise with love
You're in shock! My heartbeat rises...
But was this the right? Founder of the North Star?
...now burns passionately.
It will melt everything and splash against the cruelty!
That was impressive.
The ultimate martial art, the Divine Fist of the North Star!
I've surely witnessed it.
This is the first time I have ever lost.
The 2,000 year grudge of the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fists...
What if our positions were reversed?
My founder, Ryuoh, would be the leader of the North Star Clan,
and I would've succeeded the Divine Fist of the North Star!
Then I may have been the one to be defeated this day.
You should finish me off.
You have ruled the fate of the North Star!
Ke... Kenshiro...
You feel sympathy even for me? I'm your enemy, so why!?
You were a friend, too.
What? A friend...?
No, I would've lost anyway.
Even if we were in opposite positions,
I would not feel sympathy for the loser.
I've abandoned my compassion,
and have lived my life with my soul filled with evil.
All for the creation of the new century
led by the North Star Lapis Lazuli Fist.
However, the heavens have chosen you!
So mine was just an empty dream...
Had I met you sooner, I would have listened to my destiny.
Kenshiro, I have done things that are irrevocable...
For one thing, Lin!
A child between you and Lin, of the Celestial Emperor...
Would be a worthy successor to the Clan of the North Star indeed!
Yet, I have...
Lin is alright!
Ken!
Bat?
Ken, this man risked his life and protected Lin!
Hyoh!
Hyoh!?
- Hyoh. - Kaioh...
There's still something I have to do for you...
You've come a long way...
You shall finish me off with your own fist!
Go ahead!
You idiot...
I, Kaioh, will not be killed with a weak fist like that!
I am the man who killed the woman you loved,
and dragged you into the dark world!
There must be vengeance you still need to take!
I didn't come here to fight. I had to tell you one last thing...
If I were strong...
If I had the abilities to become successor to the North Star Clan...
You wouldn't have gone astray. In the end, this was my fault.
Forgive me, Kaioh! Forgive your weak brother.
You came all this way just to tell me that?
I'll be able to meet Sayaka soon...
That will be the time for the three of us...
Hyoh...
Let's go back to those childhood days and play together again!
Hyoh!
Hyoh...
Let's go, Hyoh.
To where?
This land is where my mother lies...
I, Kaioh, have already decided where to die.
Mother...
That is lava!
You're covered from head to toe in wounds
But nothing's gonna change if you cry over 'em...
Farewell, Kenshiro.
This is truly the end of the century
We met on a ruined street corner
Keep you burnin', as you run through
The midst of depraved and uncontrolled violence
No boy no cry, you gotta march on
No matter how hard the winds bear down on you
We are livin', livin' in the nineties
We still fight...
Farewell, Kaioh. Farewell, Hyoh.
Ken! I heard about Lin from Hyoh.
She lost her memory, and when she wakes up...
She will love the first person she sees.
Now, Lin's wish will finally...
Lin has always loved you dearly.
In the curtain of the night, I can't yet fall asleep
Thoughts about you pass through my mind
I wonder if anyone could fall asleep
While these feelings burn in their heart?
Don't you know, in this town, in this whole country...
Ken! Don't come!
Lin... She spoke? Who exactly is that guy?
Go, Lin.
...cause I love you
Ken!
It may be foolish, but it excites me...
Ken!
Lin has endured pain and sorrow until now.
But now she doesn't have to anymore.
The time has come for Lin to live for her own happiness.
Ken...
Wherever I go, battles await me.
That is my destiny...
Bat, take care of Lin.
Ke... Ken!
You are the only one who can answer Lin's love.
You cannot love with a cool heart
Wait, Ken!
Ken... Do you have to?
Bat...
He stands alone, a silent fighter...
Live happily together with Lin.
Farewell!
Ken!
...in the flames that sway in darkness
Do survive!
A far and forever, the destiny of the North Star continues.
Are you going to challenge, yet another new battle?
At the edge of this...
KEN!
Such a lonesome night...
There were many battles, and many friends...
This city, wealth, fame and power... they mean nothing to me.
I only want one thing... YURIA!
The South Star Sacred Fist. The Star of Sacrifice, Shin.
Battle is the only way I can repay you.
The South Star Waterfowl Fist. The Star of Justice, Rei.
Kenshiro...
The South Star White Heron Fist. The Star of Benevolence, Shu.
Go, Kenshiro! Open the path of this age.
I'll always be watching you!
Because of love, people must suffer!
Because of love, people must grieve!
The South Star Phoenix Fist. The Polar Star, Souther.
Kenshiro, change that grief into anger, and live.
The second brother of the North Star, Toki.
The eldest brother of the North Star,
Raoh, who sought to be ruler of the century's end.
Kenshiro.
And... the last general of the South Star,
the one I loved...
Yuria.
...the silent whispers
While fumbling, I can recall that warmth and loneliness
Sparkling so dazzlingly, I embrace your body now!
Yes, to the wandering heart, tomorrow is invisible...
Swaying within the light is your smile
Leaving only the sound of footsteps behind, the silhouette vanishes into the darkness
Her satisfied wings flapping, the goddess turns her back...
Because, more than dreams, I want you, the one that I love - my everything...
My friends made me who I am today.
My friends' hearts. My friends' love.
My friends' fists are my fists.
And so, I will continue to fight...
...as long as I have my friends.
FAREWELL, KENSHIRO...
FAREWELL, DIVINE FIST OF THE NORTH STAR.
