The Heavens' rage, appease it

Pray, worship

A lonely night, feel the love

Drown in love, hunger for love

Split paths, carved into the heart

Begrudge time, envy others

This body is colored by the troubled times

These drenched fists are tied down

A lonely night, feel the love

Drown in love, hunger for love

Days of disgrace, seek excitement

Fear the past, frozen by darkness

Torn eyes, entwined minds

A hoarse voice lingers about

The more we struggle

The more we run

The grief becomes endless

Endless, endless

You may take everything there is

Your wishes may be granted

You'll still be swallowed by the emptiness of being alone

Feel fulfilled, feel fulfilled

Legends of the Dark King Feel fulfilled, feel fulfilled

Legends of the Dark King Fist of the North Star Feel fulfilled, feel fulfilled

Legends of the Dark King Fist of the North Star

Legends of the Dark King Fist of the North Star Feel fulfilled, feel fulfilled

Feel fulfilled, feel fulfilled

The nuclear flames which scorched the land signaled the onset of an age of power.

Those without power had no choice but to be plundered and killed.

The survivors could only clench the blood-stained soil and cry at the sky.

The name belonged to one who sought the Heavens...

The name of the savior who sought to bring peace to these troubled times...

Raoh.

But there was a man who chose the path to become a savior without ruling.

Rival Siblings!

You're doing fine, Mr. Cosm.

You'll be able to walk without a crutch in no time.

Thank you, Master Toki.

As far as we're concerned, you're a true savior.

Calling me a savior is too much.

By no means.

You've turned this village of sick and injured into the Village of Miracles.

You're exaggerating.

That's what everyone says.

If you come here, you can get your illnesses and injuries healed.

Well, that's why we keep getting more sick and injured.

I need to heal up so I can repay Master Toki.

That's right.

You shouldn't rush yourself.

Take time to recuperate.

Master Toki!

Master Toki!

Master Toki!

Master Toki!

Toki?

We've found him.

Where is he right now?

He's running a clinic in a poor village.

The neighbors all call the village

the Village of Miracles.

However, Toki is dangerous right now.

He's using acupressure points to cure illnesses and injuries

which has led some people to worship him like a god.

They call him a miracle-working savior.

Only the Dark King can end these troubled times!

So, do we take him out?

No, we need Toki's power.

If he can understand the King of Fist's rule and is willing to cooperate,

he'll be a considerable ally.

You should go see him.

I'm sure he'll be a great help.

After all, the two of you are brothers with the same blood in your veins.

It's not that simple.

Back down, Reina.

It will be fine! I'm sure Toki will...

We have to be all the more careful because it's Toki.

That's enough.

Either way, it depends on how Toki acts.

Then, I shall...

I shall go meet him in person.

Very well.

Toki...

My younger brother...

You were a man who looked to the Earth instead of the Heavens.

You use your fists to heal instead of destroy.

I want your natural gifts in my army.

This should be enough medicinal herbs for the time being.

Th..This is...

Ma..Master Toki...

What happened?

They suddenly attacked us.

The village has been wrecked.

Nothing but a bunch of sick people here.

Kill them! Kill them all!

Grandpa!

Stop that damn whining, stupid brats!

Die!

Run away!

The boss has been killed!

It's a monster!

Because we live in such an age...

The fists I swore to use for saving lives have been used to take lives.

How are you using your fists?

Raoh? And...

Reina!

It's been a long time.

Long time no see, Toki.

If you're here...

Raoh's waiting for you.

I have no intention of leaving this village.

If he wishes to see me, he can come here.

Why?!

Raoh is trying to establish his rule in these troubled times.

If you join forces with Raoh, no one will stand in your way.

How does the person hiding over there feel about this?

Sakuya?

Why are you here?

Lord Toki, please escape.

What are you saying?

Lord Toki and the King of Fist are brothers by blood,

fellow students trained in the Divine Fist of the North Star by Ryuken.

They should not have to fight one another.

That's why I've come to convince him!

You believe that they won't exchange blows were they to meet?

I've heard of the Divine Fist of the North Star.

Divine Fist of the North Star,

passed down for eighteen hundred years under the seven stars in the sky.

The technique is only passed on to one successor per generation

and never revealed to outsiders.

It has never been defeated by a different martial art.

Even their own children must survive the grueling training to become the successor.

Having no children of his own, Ryuken selected a few candidates to adopt.

You and the King of Fist were among them.

But Ryuken chose a different brother to be his successor.

You had the misfortune of being in the wrong age.

If you and the King of Fist had been born in different eras,

both of you could potentially have become the successor.

I've known Toki and Raoh since they were kids.

They're invincible if they join forces!

The two of them are too different.

The King of Fist seeks the Heavens.

Lord Toki watches the Earth.

It's unfathomable for them to walk the same path.

If they were to fight, neither side would walk away unscathed.

And now is not the time.

Lord Toki, please escape.

I'll say it again.

I have no intention of abandoning this village.

And I'm waiting for a certain man...

here...

Do you mean...

Kenshiro...

The true successor to the Divine Fist of the North Star, Kenshiro!

Kenshiro will find me one day.

That is why I wait.

However...

You just said that we were in the wrong era.

That Raoh, Kenshiro and I could all have become the successor.

You're mistaken.

I chose to eliminate my chance of becoming the successor,

for Kenshiro's sake.

The shelter was full at the time.

I wanted to save Kenshiro and everyone.

This body has already become diseased.

I promised Kenshiro...

That the number of people I could save before this dying body gave out

would be the proof of my existence.

Then, we'll send out the King of Fist's army to find Kenshiro!

What do you think will happen if Raoh finds Kenshiro?

You should know.

I will wait here.

Whether Raoh or Kenshiro will find me first

is for the Fates to decide.

So, you absolutely refuse to escape?

You're persistent.

In that case...

Even if you are a master of the Divine Fist of the North Star,

can you dodge a rain of arrows with that diseased body?

The King of Fist!

Reina, the King of Fist has decided to see for himself.

Toki, it's been a long time.

Raoh...

Toki has no intention of following the King of Fist.

The only choice is to use the whole army to kill him.

Toki is my brother.

He is not the kind of opponent who can be defeated by a rain of arrows.

Lower your bows!

Souga, take the troops and back down.

I need your power to rule.

Lend your strength to me.

What if I refuse?

I cannot allow you to run free.

Toki, you are too dangerous.

Am I such an eyesore?

I cannot allow anyone to obstruct my rule, no matter who it may be.

Only I, the Dark King, can save the people.

I cannot ignore any person who is proclaimed to be a savior, not even you.

So you'll kill me?

Can you not understand, Toki?!

Someone must take the Heavens before these troubled times can be quelled.

Raoh...

Your methods cannot save a solitary soul.

Your followers are ruled by fear.

A rule created by force will eventually be destroyed by force.

There is no need for justice with no power.

Look at this village.

They were slaughtered by mere bandits because they had no power.

Your medical treatment is nothing in the face of brute force.

What I am doing may be futile,

but I will not become a killer.

I cannot help you, no matter what you say!

Divine Fist of the North Star ultimate technique.

Enlightened Transmigration.

Life born from nothing.

Because it is born from nothing, none can oppose it.

Because it is born from nothing, none can defeat the technique.

The ultimate technique our teacher, Master Ryuken, was unable to learn.

You've mastered it?

No...

Only those who have learned love can master it.

Only those who know sadness can master it.

Kenshiro...

He may still be inexperienced,

but Kenshiro has the potential.

However, Raoh...

You do not.

Toki...

Do you wish to die by my hand?

I am prepared for it.

I see...

Such overwhelming pressure!

Toki!

Why do you not ready yourself?

If I am such a nuisance, go ahead and kill me.

My body is diseased.

I won't live long.

My only regret would be

the hollowness of fighting with my brother before I die.

I see...

Restrain Toki and lock him up in Cassandra!

Are you sure about this?

Toki and Kenshiro...

The two of them will stand before you one day.

It would be a good idea to eliminate any potential dangers now.

Steel yourself and...

No.

Once Toki is locked up in Cassandra, it will not be possible for he and Kenshiro to meet again.

Toki will eventually die.

There is no need for me to do it myself.

We return!

We're returning!

Raoh...

and Toki...

Kenshiro...

You have a tough path before you.

You will eventually be pitted against one another in a bloodbath.

Is this what they call an inescapable fate?

I was out of line back there.

Please forgive me.

I knew that there was little chance of Toki and Raoh working together.

But there was a slim hope...

It's fine like this.

Lord Uighur, we have a new prisoner.

Newbie, what's your name?

Didn't you hear me?

Show me the way.

What?

To the cell where I'll be housed.

Son of a bitch!

Lord Uyghur has become enraged!

Do you know why Cassandra is known as the City of Demon Cries?

Because the cries of the prisoners in my control

are carried by the wind to echo through the sky.

I shall give you a taste of the legendary fear!

Mount Tai-Style Double Whips!

That's impossible!

You can read my Double Whips?!

Lord Uighur has abandoned his whips!

Here it comes! Here it comes!

Mongolian Scourge!

Here it is!

No way!

I have nothing to do with whatever legend you're trying to create here.

I merely wait for Kenshiro.

What?

And you should keep this in mind.

The day Kenshiro and I meet will be your last.

Take him to his cell!

Please forgive me.

I was too foolish.

I expected that a fight was unavoidable if the two of you met.

I believed that such a scenario must be avoided at all costs.

An act of emotion...

Raoh locked me up in a cell because of emotion.

I wait for Kenshiro because of emotion.

You say that you wanted to stop Raoh and I from fighting.

For my sake?

Or perhaps...

I serve the King of Fist right now.

It is the duty of a servant to protect her king.

Both of you would be gravely injured if you were to fight.

If the Holy Emperor were to come while the King of Fist was injured...

Holy Emperor?

You know him?

I know of him.

And his ambition.

Is that truly all?

Raoh...

When did we begin going in different directions?

Raoh has even imprisoned his own brother by blood, Toki.

He will not allow anyone to impede his rule.

Raoh continues to push towards his self-imposed rule.

I long to reveal these feelings for you in my heart

The shadow floating on the river

Looked so sad and on the verge of drifting away

Follow the red thread which binds them

Like a bamboo leaf boat flowing with the current

Oh, it's becoming clear, so clear

The fog begins to lift

Oh, it's flowing away, it flows

Carrying this body

Drowning in a river of tears

Next Time

The Demon Awakens!
