A DESTINY STEEPED IN BLOOD

So, where is Pan now?

Guise doesn't know the exact location, but it seems he’s been captured by Wu Dong-Lai of the Hong-Hua-Hui.

But they've been torturing him for a year now, so he's probably unrecognizable.

No, as long as he's alive there is still hope.

But why does Wu hate Pan so much?

Because of a woman...

Wu worships actresses.

As soon as he sees one, he loses it.

But that actress was Pan's lover.

That bastard Wu knew it, but that didn't stop him from jumping on her.

Mei-Mei-Mei-Yu!

Don't you like being with me?

What does that idiot Pan have that I don't?

If it's money you want, I've got it!

I'll shoot all the films you want

Forget Pan and become my mistress!

I don't want your dirty money!

What!?

I'm part of the underworld, so of course my money is dirty. But it's the same for Pan, isn't it!?

Well!? What's the difference?

Watch what you say...

If I want you, I'll have you!

Very well...

Don't press that!

It'll shoot... It'll shoot...

It'll shoot...!

Go ahead, kill me and do it with my corpse!

O-Ouch!

A todo! A Sakhalin fir

A good-looking man!

A todo!

A good-looking man!

A todo!

A good-looking man!

A todoooooo!!!

I-I-I see!

I-It's my face!

My face!

My face, my face, my face!!!

You judge men on their appearance!?

That's not true.

It's by the color of their heart.

Even though you and Pan are gangsters... Black and Black.

Underneath Pan's black is a foundation of warm red

It's a shining black, quite different from yours...

Shut up!

It's The face... the face... the face... the face... the face... the face...!

The faaaaaace!!!

As you like!

I'll prove to you that Pan and I are the same!

I'll make him suffer slowly for months! And I'll bring back his hideous head to you!

So that was it...?

Yes, it's sickening.

This actress, is she Yu-Ling childhood friend, Yang Mei-Yu?

Yes.

Now she's the most famous actress in Shanghai...

No, in all China.

Alright!

I'm going to make Wu spill the beans about Pan's whereabouts.

But we don't know where to find Wu...

An actress like her...

Even Wu couldn't stop himself from hanging around.

Hey look!

Yes, it's Mei-Yu!

The great actress, Yang Mei-Yu.

I hear she comes to this bar once in a while.

Two glasses?

But she's been alone the whole time.

Could she be waiting for someone?

What?

You mean Mei-Yu is seeing someone!?

Who knows...

Thank you.

I don't need thanks.

In exchange, could you please stop that melody?

That's a song I want to forget...

A song I don't want to remember...

I never wanted to hear it again...

But, you used to come here often with Yu-Ling and ask the pianist to play this piece.

Thanks to you, I finally learnt how to play it.

H-how do you know Yu-Ling?

You? That's impossible...

I see you still remember my face.

Y-Yan-Wang...

Kenshiro!

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Haven't we already met?

Cui, you can leave now.

Y-yes, don't hesitate to call me if you need anything.

I'm an expert in Nanha Ko-Ka-Mon Go Kei-Ken. The Five Animal Fists of Hung Gar

Goodbye.

Pan Guang-Lin, Yu-Ling and you grew up together in an orphanage...

Yang Mei-Yu...

You are now the greatest actress in Shanghai, no, in all of China.

You have fulfilled your dream.

Do you want a drink?

Yes, to our reunion!

But first...

A charming welcome...

Pan and you...

Why are men so selfish!

For pride and friendship, you die and disappear...

And the women...

What about the women you leave behind!?

N-no, Pan is...

Pan was killed by the Hong-Hua-Hui!

Yu -Ling too!

I grew up with them as a family...

And I was going to marry Pan.

Can you even begin to comprehend how I've felt, left all alone?

Mei-Yu...

You don't understand anything...

Do you have any idea how Yu-Ling felt after you left!?

Yu-Ling what are you doing?

I'm floating a lantern.

In Japan, this is how they pray for the return of a loved one.

So I'm praying for Kenshiro...

Japan is on the other side of the sea at the end of this river...

Kenshiro's homeland, Japan.

I really would have liked to have gone there at least once with him.

Poor Yu-Ling...

Being Japanese, you should know that Yu-Ling was mistaken on this tradition.

It's a ritual that sends the spirits of dead to the other world.

But... I didn't have the courage to tell her.

Disappear!

I don't want any more of those memories, don't come near me again!

I'm an actress!

I don't live in the same world as you anymore!

Very well...

No! You're not going anywhere!

Cui?

I remember now, it's, you, Yan-Wang!

Leave at once!

This is a private room!

Shut up!

2 million yuans in front my eyes.

Let's go Yan-Wang!

Mei-Yu...

Seeing this, perhaps you will understand that my destiny is steeped in blood...

Even if I had stayed in Shanghai, I couldn't have made Yu-Ling happy...

So why did you come back to Shanghai!?

For Honor!

We still don't have Yan-Wang's head?

Godammit! Even though we increased the reward...

That's true...

Mmmh, yum, this is delicious!

All you do is eat!

We can't fool around anymore...

Give it back! Give it back!

Brother Wu, is everything alright?

Hey listen!

You'll be the first one on his hit list!

If you don't stop going after that actress, he'll track you down in no time.

No, I don't want to stop!

But you're the one that pissed your pants for having killed Pan and Yu-Ling!

It's alright! It's alright!

Yan-Wang won't dare lay a finger on me.

What? How's that?

You must answer death with death!

In fact, I've called upon that man again...

To answer death...

with death?

I-it can't be!

That's right!

With this, Yan-Wang is finished!

How could he beat Cui, an expert of Go Kei-Ken, so easily?

What strength!

If you're so strong, why couldn't you accept Yu-Ling's love?

Why did you abandon her?

Because, I didn't deserve it...

It was Christmas Eve...

Pan went to a peace conference with the bosses of the Six Families, which the Qing-Bang had been at war with over the sale of opium.

However, the Hong-Hua-Hui blew up the building where Pan's meeting was being held.

Pan lost many men there.

Pan, how long do you intend to play with death?

Yeah, you're right, gangsters are idiots.

For ambition and pride, my comrades keep rushing to their deaths.

We're all being used by politicians and businessmen.

I know it's futile, but...

That's why if we don't work together, we'll just die like dogs.

Gangsters have really got their hands tied

What other life is there in Shanghai?

My brothers and I, don't have other options.

What's the matter Ye?

You look like something's bothering you.

I put the screws to some Hong-Hua-Hui guys and got them to talk.

I didn't believe they could’ve known our location.

Is there a traitor among us?

Boss Weng!

N-no, that's impossible!

Pan, let me ask you.

If I remember correctly Weng is the man who took you and Yu-Ling from the orphanage and raised you as his own.

Dad!

That's right..

but... !

Brother Pan!

You've been doing too well

If you'd achieved peace at yesterday's meeting, the Grand Master of Qing Bang would've probably named you his successor.

Ye, what are you getting at?

Boss Weng is ambitious and wants to become the Grand Master of Qing Bang!

Ambition can sometimes make men insane.

Your success and your very existence has become an obstacle for Boss Weng.

Here, Dad!

Kenshiro, take care of Yu-Ling.

She loves our father Weng more than I do.

No matter what, she probably won't forgive me.

Even if she tries to forgive me, there's no doubt it will scar her forever.

If someone doesn't put an end to my father's ambition...

it will end in a blood bath!

Don't tell me.... you want to kill Weng. ?

Honor and loyalty those are the rules of the Qing Bang.

Thank you very much!

We are delighted to welcome you on this day.

This is least we can do for Mr. Weng.

May he live a long life!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Oh? Where is your brother?

He's getting ready with my father, he shouldn't be much longer.

Look at how happy Yu-Ling is.

She's enjoying my birthday as if it were her own.

After living so long I finally feel that I know true happiness.

It's thanks to having children like you two.

Yes, that's true... Master Weng.

No father, I will never forget what you did for us.

You raised Yu-Ling and me, and you allowed me to join the Qing Bang...

But..!

What's wrong?

Why didn't you shoot?

Guang-Lin, you are too kind

You are not made for this world

Perhaps...

Kill me, I'll finally find peace

Be gone!

Kenshiro... don't...

Drift to your death as into a dream.

Kenshiro... you...

You..

With these hands, you saved them from that sadness.

I loved Pan Guang-Lin and Yu-Ling.

I wanted to bear their sorrow.

Dad, where are you?

Hey Dad!

Dad!

Dad! The guests are about ready...

Dad?

Dad!

What's the matter? Dad!

Dad...

Dad... Dad!!

Daaaaad!!!

Even though it was Qing Bang law, I didn't want Pan to suffer the pain of killing his father...

That's why...

Fool!

You and Pan are fools!

You didn't understand anything!

Yu-Ling was much stronger than you thought.

I'm sure she could have endured that suffering...

Please.

There's no reason for you to bear any more sadness.

Kenshiro, leave Shanghai!

It's true that we are fools.

However, I can't bear to live without my honor.

I have nothing else to say...

Just tell me...

who... who killed Yu-Ling!?

I don't know his real name, but...

He's called Ling-Wang! The King of Death

Ling-Wang!?

Boss Pan!

Boss Pan!!

Boss Pan!!!

Boss Pan... Thank God!

I'm a member of the Qing Bang.

Can you hear me?

Hold on!

I have really good news...

Don't be too surprised.

Yan-Wang has returned to Shanghai!

Thanks to him, you will be able to take control of Shanghai again.

I'll bring you back with me.

The rats are disappearing!

H-Huh...?

S-Stop!

Y-you!

Oooh! What a strong fighting spirit!

You still have a lot of energy left...

Pan Guang-Lin... it's been a long time!

L-Ling-Wang...!

Yes, it's Ling-Wang!

W-what?

China's legendary Hokuto styles; Hokuto Shinken isn't the only one!

Now Yan-Wang is finished!

R-run...!

Kenshiro...

Run!!!
