[00:02] NARRATION
Passed down from one master to a single
successor, the ultimate assassin's art,
[00:06] NARRATION
the Divine Fist of the North Star,
has remained hidden.
[00:10] NARRATION
Its beginnings can be traced back
to approximately 1,800 years ago.
[00:15] NARRATION
Shunned by the peaceful world as the
martial art of the god of death,
[00:19] NARRATION
it was spoken of only in legends.
[00:23] NARRATION
However, in the year 193X, the world has been
plunged into an era of turmoil once again.
[00:31] NARRATION
The destiny of the North Star
brings new conflict.
[00:35] NARRATION
And at the end of that conflict,
will there be light or darkness?
[00:43] (Flashback) CAPTAIN 2
He's unbelievable!
[00:48] (Flashback) ERIKA
Fei-Yan!
[00:49] FEIYAN
I can't entrust her to anyone.
[00:52] (Flashback) FEIYAN
I'll protect you.
[00:55] (Flashback) CAPTAIN 2
Conduct a thorough search of the city!
[00:57] (Flashback) CAPTAIN 2
We must acquire the List of Hope!
[01:02] (Flashback) GUISE
Who are you?
[01:04] (Flashback) YASAKA
My god allows none who call themselves
North Star users to live!
[01:13] (Flashback) KEN
Guise!
[01:14] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Was it you?!
[01:19] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Who are you?
[01:23] (Flashback) KEN
Successor to the
Divine Fist of the North Star,

[03:11] FEIYAN
You're the successor to the
Divine Fist of the North Star?
[03:24] FEIYAN
All who stand in my way...
[03:27] FEIYAN
are my enemy!

Death Bird Bloody Slash!
[03:46] FEIYAN
Those who touch my fists don't
realize they've been cut.
[03:54] KEN
This is the Liu Family North Star Fist's...
[03:57] FEIYAN
That's right.
[03:59] FEIYAN
The origin of my style
lies with the North Star.
[04:03] FEIYAN
But its strength...
[04:05] FEIYAN
exceeds the North Star's!
[04:09] FEIYAN
You're mine!
[04:13] FEIYAN
What?
[04:15] KEN
You used the same technique twice.
[04:18] KEN
You underestimate me.
[04:20] FEIYAN
I see... With my style,
my fingers are not fingers.
[04:26] FEIYAN
They are sharp blades that cut
the moment they touch you.
[04:30] FEIYAN
And you stopped them!
[04:46] KEN
Why don't you kick?
[04:49] KEN
You have the advantage.
[04:52] FEIYAN
You're waiting for the moment I kick.
[04:56] KEN
Oh, you noticed?
[05:02] FEIYAN
That's odd.
[05:04] FEIYAN
Is he really after the List?
[05:09] KEN
His techniques...
[05:12] KEN
wouldn't have created those wounds.
[05:15] KEN
So who was it that killed Guise?
[05:24] YULING
This fight ends now.
[05:29] FEIYAN
I don't know who you are,
but I'll kill you if you interfere.
[05:35] YULING
The List of Hope and the girl it's
been entrusted to, Erika, are here.
[05:40] YULING
Isn't defending them your job?
[05:43] YULING
Should you be fighting here right now?
[05:46] FEIYAN
How do you know about Erika?
[05:49] YULING
We'll talk later. Stop the boat.
[05:53] YULING
The German army is waiting
for you on the bridge ahead.
[06:08] CAPTAIN 2
Listen up. When they come
under the bridge, jump aboard.
[06:13] CAPTAIN 2
We must acquire the List
of Hope for the Führer!
[06:21] ALL
Yeah!
[06:23] CAPTAIN 2
Yeah!
[06:24] ALL
Yeah!
[06:26] CAPTAIN 2
Yeah!
[06:27] ALL
Yeah!
[06:29] CAPTAIN 2
Yeah!
[06:30] ALL
Yeah!
[06:32] CAPTAIN 2
Yeah!
[06:32] ALL
Yeah!
[06:35] YULING
Let's hide here for a while
and see how things go.
[06:39] FEIYAN
So you don't work for the German army.
[06:43] KEN
And you're not some dubious
martial artist, either.
[06:49] YULING
It was someone else who killed Guise.
[06:53] FEIYAN
How do you know about that?
[06:56] FEIYAN
And about Erika and the List?
[07:00] YULING
Kitaoji-san told me.
[07:02] FEIYAN
The Japanese man who hired me?
[07:05] YULING
Yes.
[07:07] KEN
What's the List of Hope?
[07:11] YULING
A list of roughly 2,000 works of art belonging
[07:13] YULING
to people persecuted by the Germans.
[07:15] YULING
It's a catalog listing the
whereabouts of the items.
[07:19] YULING
Guise was attempting to use the
catalog to create a safe haven.
[07:24] KEN
So that's what he...
[07:28] (Flashback) GUISE
I have things I need to do.
[07:34] YULING
Guise was heading to Kitaoji-san's
mansion to collect the List of Hope.
[07:40] KEN
But he was killed on the way.
[07:45] FEIYAN
Who killed him?
[07:48] YULING
Kitaoji-san went after him,
but he lost sight of him.
[07:58] SOLDIER
They're not over here.
[08:13] CAPTAIN 2
When are they going to get here?
[08:21] CAPTAIN 2
Is it possible they noticed us?
[08:28] CAPTAIN 2
We'll search along the river!
[08:36] YULING
She's like an angel.
[08:41] YULING
We must protect this girl
[08:44] YULING
and the List in order to make
Guise's dream come true.
[08:48] KEN
I'll carry on my fallen pengyou's dream.
[08:53] FEIYAN
"Pengyou"?
[08:56] FEIYAN
You can't protect anything with a dream.
[08:58] FEIYAN
You can only protect things with strength.
[09:05] ERIKA
Mom...
[09:10] YULING
You can protect lives with
strength, but not hearts.
[09:16] FEIYAN
But I still have to protect her.
[09:20] CAPTAIN 2
Search the entire area!
[09:34] YULING
They noticed sooner than we expected.
[09:37] KEN
Look.
[09:43] YULING
The French army?
[09:54] CAPTAIN 1
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
[09:56] CAPTAIN 2
What about kissing someone's ass?
[09:58] CAPTAIN 1
Non, non, non. What are
you outsiders doing here?
[10:03] CAPTAIN 2
What? This isn't a French colony anymore.
[10:07] CAPTAIN 2
You're the outsiders.
[10:09] CAPTAIN 1
Shut up!
[10:11] CAPTAIN 1
We're looking for the man
who killed Colonel Guise!
[10:18] CAPTAIN 2
Stop!
[10:23] CAPTAIN 2
Oh, no!
[10:28] CAPTAIN 1
Qu'est-ce... qu'est...
[10:34] CAPTAIN 2
Why do you keep talking about kissing asses?!
[10:38] ALL
Arrêtez!
[10:40] ALL
Gehen Sie raus!
[10:50] YULING
Let's run while we can.
[10:56] YULING
When did they...
[11:20] KITAOJI
Kasumi-kun, when you saved
my life from some ruffians,
[11:26] KITAOJI
I met Guang-Lin-kun, Yu-Ling-kun,
and Colonel Guise.
[11:34] KITAOJI
But now this...
[11:41] LUPING
Kitaoji-san.
[11:55] YO
Who's the bastard who killed Guise?
[12:00] KITAOJI
Last night...
[12:03] KITAOJI
while waiting for Colonel Guise
to arrive at the mansion...
[12:11] (Flashback) KITAOJI
That voice...
[12:18] (Flashback) YASAKA
My god allows none who call themselves
North Star users to live.
[12:23] (Flashback) GUISE
Is this a North Star technique?
[12:27] (Flashback) GUISE
No, something's different.
[12:30] (Flashback) YASAKA
Don't compare me to them.
[12:34] (Flashback) GUISE
What?
[12:36] (Flashback) GUISE
Who do you work for?
[12:40] (Flashback) GUISE
The government army? No, the Germans?
[12:45] (Flashback) YASAKA
You're about to die.
[12:48] (Flashback) YASAKA
There's no need for me to tell you!
[12:58] (Flashback) GUISE
You're mine!
[13:02] (Flashback) GUISE
What?!
[13:08] (Flashback) YASAKA
You think a sword stands
a chance against fists?
[13:14] (Flashback) GUISE
In that case...
[13:32] (Flashback) YASAKA
So this is the Sun Family North Star Fist.
[13:38] (Flashback) GUISE
En garde!
[13:52] (Flashback) YASAKA
Die, man of the Sun Family North Star Fist.
[13:59] (Flashback) KITAOJI
Stop!
[14:00] (Flashback) YASAKA
Back off!
[14:08] (Flashback) KITAOJI
Colonel Guise...
[14:29] (Flashback) GUISE
Ken...shiro...
[15:15] KITAOJI
After that, I lost sight of the man.
[15:20] KITAOJI
Then I contacted the
French army and Yu-Ling-kun.
[15:27] YO
Ken-san, is there a martial art that
involves striking pressure points?
[15:31] YO
One that glows, too?
[16:08] (Flashback) YULING
You can protect lives with
strength, but not hearts.
[16:17] FEIYAN
Erika...
[16:30] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Damn it. I'm too late.
[16:47] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Hey, can you hear me?
[16:50] (Flashback) FEIYAN
It's me, Liu Fei-Yan.
[16:52] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Do you know who I am?
[17:01] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
You finally came...
[17:05] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Was the List of Hope stolen?
[17:11] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
The list they took was fake.
[17:16] (Flashback) FEIYAN
You defended the List with your lives?
[17:20] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
That catalog is hope itself.
[17:23] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
I'd rather die with dignity
than hand it over to them.
[17:31] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Where is the real List?
[17:39] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
Right here...
[17:43] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
It's all inside this girl's head.
[17:52] (Flashback) ERIKA
Mom.
[17:56] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
Please...
[17:58] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
Please protect our hope.
[18:03] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
My daughter.
[18:07] (Flashback) ERIKA MOM
Please protect Erika.
[18:21] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Why aren't you crying?
[18:23] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Your mother's dead.
[18:26] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Aren't you sad?
[18:29] (Flashback) ERIKA
I won't cry.
[18:32] (Flashback) ERIKA
I promised Mom...
[18:36] (Flashback) ERIKA
that I wouldn't cry,
no matter how hard things got.
[18:44] (Flashback) ERIKA
Mom always said...
[18:47] (Flashback) ERIKA
she loved my smile.
[18:57] (Flashback) FEIYAN
I see.
[19:01] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Hey...
[19:03] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Your mom's lap is still warm.
[19:08] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Stay with her a little longer.
[19:22] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Tears...
[19:24] (Flashback) FEIYAN
Am I crying?
[19:29] (Flashback) FEIYAN
I still had tears left in me?
[19:44] FEIYAN
Erika.
[19:47] FEIYAN
You brought tears to the dry eyes of
the man they call the Death Bird Demon.
[19:54] FEIYAN
What can I do for you?
[20:11] FEIYAN
I'm running out of time.
