Shanghai...

Nothing has changed in the last three years,

but the things that were lost are so numerous.

Kenshiro...

When will you return?

When?

Yu~Ling...

Everyone... Everyone's dead.

So you've finally returned to Shanghai?

This international cosmopolitan city is the first, and probably the last, ''City of Desire''.

This will be where the 62nd Successor of Hokuto Shinken, Kasumi Kenshiro, will return.

Now, Destiny of Hokuto! Heads or tails?

He's getting away!

That way!

Hurry!

Out of the way! Please, let me through!

Th~Thank you.

You, did that man come this way?

He went that way.

What?!

Damn it.

He got away from us.

Sorry about that.

I'll make you another one, so please...

It's not surprising that the police turned back.

After all, if you go past that street, you're in a concession where their authority does not reach.

Even if you're a murderer, ifyou run away to that place, you won't be arrested.

It's an underworld den of prostitution, gambling, and drug dealing.

By paying off the leaders of the French Concession,

it's become a lawless area where they can do whatever they want.

There used to be a hero called Yan~Wang.

Back then, with him and the Qing Bang in charge here, things were quiet and better.

But, now it'sjust the Hong~Hua~Hui, doing as they please.

Not to be abrupt, but you shouldn't go over there.

But, that way is...!

To the Chief of Police of the French Concession, Mr. Jean Carnet...

Happy Birthday!!

Come now, come now! Thank you!

Everyone, thank you!

Thank you! Thank you!

You shouldn't have gone to so much trouble for me.

This is completely normal for a man ofyour rank, Mr. Jean Carnet!

Exactly!

A~i~ta!

A~i~ta!

Oh, that voice!

It must be the 3rd leader of the Hong~Hua~Hui, Huang Xi~Fei!

A~i~ta!

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

This way, please!

What could it be?

A~i~ta!

A~i~ta!

A~i~ta!

Now, please behold!

This is a gift from the people of Shanghai!

This represents the good will of the people under your insurance!

We hope you will continue to protect Hong~Hua~Hui for a long time!

I understand, I understand...

I will accept your feelings!

That piece of shit...

He pretends like he doesn't know that this is dirty money.

Crafty little weasel...

He's swindling us like a thief!

That's fine, for the moment this isn't a problem.

Yeah, there are plenty of weak guys we can get to pay us back!

Stop!

What?! What'd you say?

The heroin you tried to sell through this kid isn't from the Hong~Hua~Hui.

You must know that in Shanghai, to sell a drug which isn't ours is a very serious crime!

Yes, I know that, but...

The Hong~Hua~Hui charge twice what the Qing Bang cost. We can't live on that!

The Qing Bang?

Hearing of the Qing Bang brings back memories.

They're all in the other world now...

If you can't pay the regular price, then die!

You see kid, those who still long for the Qing Bang only go to the next world.

And you're going there, too.

Did you think I'd spare you because you're a kid?

Of course not!

Our rules don't differentiate between adults and kids.

What? What are you doing?

I'm praying to His Highness, Yan~Wang, to send me to my dead mother.

Do you believe Yan~Wang will listen to a piece of shit like you? Fool!

Actually, Yan~Wang isjust made up.

You see, you'll now die!

I'll cut you into two!

Yan~Wang, Yan~Wang!

What's going on?

Yan~Wang, is what?

Do you have a problem with Yan~Wang?

Wait, let go!

Yan~Wang has nothing to do with this...

That's where you're wrong.

If have you a problem with Yan~Wang, you should tell me about it!

But, I want to cut! I want to cut!

Let me cut!

Then, I'll help you.

Ouch, ouch, ouch!

You're wrong! You're mistaken! That hurts!

You moron! Are you insane?

Shit!

Not bad, kid!

Thanks, Mister.

Behind you!

You filthy bastard! You hurt me!

Hey, take a good aim. Right here!

They say the Hong~Hua~Hui has put a price of 1 million on my head!

What? So you're Yan~Wang!

You idiot.

The head is the smallest part of the body i , t's not hard to dodge a bullet aimed at it.

Niichinsura!

What do you mean by that?

You're already dead!

Youngster!

He ran off with my bag.

That'sjust like Shanghai.

But, that kid...

It's been a long time since he took a bath.

Dad, I'm back.

Zhi~Ying?

Dad, since you can move around, couldn't you find some work?

What are you saying?

Dad is very sick, look at my body.

You hide behind your bandages, but I know you're in good health.

What's that?

Just now... I was nearly killed!

Is that true? That must have been hard.

All this looks valuable!

I stole them from a guy who claimed to be Yan~Wang.

Another fake Yan~Wang?

Since he left, anyone who does a little martial arts tries to pass off as him.

But today, this guy was really strong!

Stop right there.

If it were really him, he would have already caught up with you.

Wh~Why's that?

Listen, the real Yan~Wang has a dog's sense of smell.

He would have tracked your odor and bust down this door by now.

No, that can't be true...

Don't worry, Yan~Wang won't come back to Shanghai again.

That stink! Don't worry, Yan~Wang won't come back to Shanghai again.

It's hard on my nostrils...

Hey, kid!

Do you think it's right to steal a bag from the person who saved your life?

Dad, let's go! Let's go!

How did he find me?

How? How?!

Yan~Wang... No, Ken!

Ken, it's really you!

Ye?!

Yes, it's me, Ye!

You recognized me? You recognized me...

Yeah, even though I can't see your face, I still recognize you, Ye!

He recognized my father from his odor.

Then, is he the real Yan~Wang?

Ken! It's really you, Ken! I'm not dreaming!

So Zhi, now do you believe your Dad was Yang~Wang's Peng~You?

Isn't that right?

Yeah, of course.

Now, what do you say?

Then, you're really Yan~Wang.

And that sense of smell...

Knucklehead! Ken's sense of smell is very special!

Do you remember?

The number of times you saved us with your sense of smell.

It's been a long time...

I still remember when we went to see Boss Tang!

Yes, there must be some misunderstanding.

Ever since the Qing Bang took control of the opium market, peace has returned to Shanghai.

If that were true, a rain of blood would be falling.

Yes, we should have given you enough money.

There's no need for comrades to kill each other.

Agreed, and since you have honored us with your visit, please taste this excellent French wine I just purchased.

Hold on!

What are you doing?

Hey you! Drink!

It's an old Burgundy, I'm not accustomed to drinking such old wine.

Yeah, drink up! It's an old Burgundy, I'm not accustomed to drinking such old wine.

But...

Drink itm you fool! You'll drink the antidote afterwards!

Y~Yes.

Understood, I'll do it.

He must be courageous to drink that wine.

Swallow!

It's delicious!

See, there's no problem.

Well, I'm off.

Wait!

Wh~Why?

Can you tell me why Pan's glass had the scent of Boss Tang's perspiration on it.

B~But...

I want an explanation.

We have plenty of time.

I'm going to die!

Moron!

I said it.

You dirty bastards!

Ye's quick draw sure is impressive!

Not as impressive as your sense of smell, Ken!

You're incredible Dad!

Yes, that's right!

During that time, I was Master Pan's right hand.

That's when we called him Yan~Wang. Ken was our guest, our Peng~You!

Yes, but tell me, Ye...

What happened to your body?

Actually, even I, ''Ye of the Two Guns'', had a small accident.

That's not true!

Why are you acting tough?

If this man is the real Yan~Wang, then you can tell him the truth!

The Hong~Hua~Hui did this to my father!

What?

Ye!

I'm so ashamed...

The truth is, because of the Hong~Hua~Hui hunting the Qing Bang, we can't even go outside any more.

Hunting the Qing Bang?!

Those who dared rebel against the Hong~Hua~Hui were tortured and killed.

And those who are still alive all fled, I don't know where they are.

But Ye, how did you get like that?

That's...

What is this shaking?

They're hunting the Qing Bang!

I didn't hear they were coming today.

You mustn't go outside!

Come! Come this way!

This is an army!

Yes, the French Concession Police are cooperating with the Hong~Hua~Hui in their Qing Bang hunts.

All under the pretext of the new French proscription against opium trading.

And them! Don't tell that they're...

Yes, they are Qing Bang.

And see there di , they're deciding how to spose of the captured Qing Bang.

Let's see...

You have a pretty good body.

Well, get in that truck!

Next!

An old man?

Old men are useless!

Father!

Your daughter and wife look like they might be of some use.

Wait, please, Shu!

Huh? Who called my name?

Shu, don't you remember?

Back when you were stealing opium, I let you get away with it any number of times.

Oh? Now that I look closely, I see you're Chin.

I don't care what happens to me,just please let my daughter and wife go.

At this rate, Hell will be better than this.

Oh, so Hell's better?

When you ask like that, how could I say no?

I'm in your debt.

T~That's...

How long were you planning to play big brother?

Hell is better, right?

Next!

No, Ken. Please restrain yourself!

If you die, we'll lose all hope.

I'm begging you, restrain yourself!

Wait, I sense the odor of a pig approaching.

Oh! You're still not dead?!

I'll be dead soon...

We came to bully you again today!

To kill you quickly would be halfhearted!

Die slowly, while in pain!

If you die quickly, we'll kill your kid!

Don't you have any compassion?

What? Compassion?

Wh~What?!

Stop!

Please stop!

Look at what happened to the handsome Ye!

It's disgusting!

Ye, your body!

Look what happened to the guy who was waltzing around Shanghai!

This is all because ofyour compassion!

Yeah, because of that, you'll die!

After all, Shanghai is the Hell where ''darkness devours darkness''!

Don't do it, Ken!

Think how my father...

Think of how my father feels!

Now he's all naked!

We'll cut out all ofyour burns!

STOP IT!

Is it you?Is it really you, Ye?

The body... The body of my Peng~You!

Who would dare do that to you?

It's not a problem.

Don't worry, Ken! Let them do it!

They have an army behind them.

Listen, Ken. You're our only hope!

But how can you endure such insults?

Ken, do you remember how you called me your Peng~You a few moments ago?

Yes, you are my Peng~You!

Then your Peng~You needs a favor from you!

I beg of you,go and save our Qing Bang brothers!

Okay, we're going!

If you want to kill him, then go ahead!

Join us afterwards!

So, do you want to die today?

That handsome Ye has become so wretched!

Does that hurt? Does that hurt?

It's wonderful!

It's wonderful when pain lasts this long!

If you like it that much, then I'll grant your wish. It's wonderful when pain lasts this long!

If you like it that much, then I'll grant your wish.

Get a move on and climb up, we have to go!

Did you kill that mummy?

Who is the mummy? What was I doing?

Ouch! I'm in pain! My head hurts so much!

Hey, are you alright? Ouch! I'm in pain! My head hurts so much!

Hey, are you alright?

Ouch, ouch, ouch!

Come on, hurry up!

What did you do, Ken? You're going to be exposed with that!

Everything's alright.

Ouch! I'm in so much pain!

Shut up! Ouch! I'm in so much pain!

Shut up!

Your... Your head! Your head!

Ah, so that's why I feel so bad!

I can't see anything in front of me!

Ah, I can see!

Oh, no!

Are you alright, Ye?

Yes, this is nothing...

I'm sorry, if only I hadn't left Shanghai.

What are you saying, Ken? Raise your head!

Nobody blames you, Ken!

There isn't even one person in the Qing Bang who blames you!

Hey? Hey?

Tell me, Ye. What did they do to you?

Actually, I'm not the only one.

Many of our brothers were slaughtered in the Game of Death.

The Game of Death?

Alright!

Thank you!

Yeah, it takes place in the huge gambling house, ''The Large New World'', now controlled by Hong~Hua~Hui.

Many of ours are still being killed over there.

So, that sort of thing is going on over there...

Let's go!

Ken, don't tell me that...

''The Large New World'', it's been a long time!
