[00:01] (Flashback) YASAKA
    Tonight is a good moon to die under.
[00:05] (Flashback) ERIKA
    The jewels... are...
[00:08] (Flashback) ERIKA
    in Japan...
[00:11] (Flashback) HIMUKA
    Re-creation... Migadol's thunderbolts...
[00:14] (Flashback) HIMUKA
    They are the only way to change this world.
[00:17] (Flashback) HIMUKA
    I will always be standing behind you.
[00:20] (Flashback) SIMEON
    Yes.
[00:21] (Flashback) SIMEON
    I was being fooled?
[00:23] (Flashback) HIMUKA
    Only overwhelming power can save this world!
[00:28] (Flashback) SIMEON
    Only I can punish myself for being deceived!
[00:32] (Flashback) HIMUKA
    You don't deserve to remain.
[00:49] TESSHIN
    It's finally starting.
[00:53] TESSHIN
    This is the destiny of the North Star.

[02:34] RAMON
    Got all my stuff... All right.
[02:44] RAMON
    That tickles. Cut it out...
[02:48] RAMON
    Father!
[02:50] TESSHIN
    What are you doing, Ramon?
[02:55] RAMON
    Jeez. Please stop sneaking
    up behind me like that.
[02:59] TESSHIN
    You lack training, idiot.
[03:02] TESSHIN
    What's a greenhorn like you doing preparing
    for a trip? Where are you going?
[03:06] RAMON
    Huh?
[03:08] RAMON
    I'm going to Indonesia.
[03:09] TESSHIN
    What? Sneaking around behind my back again?
[03:12] RAMON
    I'm worried about Kenshiro.
[03:15] RAMON
    We've barely heard from him
    in the past four years.
[03:18] TESSHIN
    You fool.
[03:20] TESSHIN
    He's trying to keep Erika
    and the others safe.
[03:24] TESSHIN
    Anyway, protecting those is top priority.
[03:28] TESSHIN
    You know that.
[03:30] RAMON
    Well...
[03:33] RAMON
    All right.
[03:39] TESSHIN
    I get it.
[03:40] TESSHIN
    You miss Erika, don't you?
[03:43] RAMON
    Wha— Th-Th-That's ridiculous!
[03:47] RAMON
    That's not what I—
[03:49] RAMON
    Oh, jeez...
[03:50] TESSHIN
    You've got a lot to learn.
[03:57] TESSHIN
    He's here.
[04:09] KENSHIN
    Hand them over.
[04:13] RAMON
    What are you talking about?
[04:16] KENSHIN
    I know that Yasaka gave two
    jewels to you four years ago.
[04:23] KENSHIN
    But it was all for naught.
[04:28] TESSHIN
    So you know about Erika and the jewels.
[04:36] RAMON
    Father, who is this man?
[04:39] TESSHIN
    He's Kasumi Kenshin.
[04:42] TESSHIN
    He once trained under me with Kenshiro.
[04:46] TESSHIN
    He's your brother.
[04:48] RAMON
    What? My brother?
[04:51] KENSHIN
    Kenshin, huh?
[04:54] KENSHIN
    I threw away that name long ago.
[05:03] TESSHIN
    While traveling through Europe
    in order to hone my skills,
[05:08] TESSHIN
    I happened to save Kenshin
    when he fell from a cliff.
[05:12] TESSHIN
    Since he'd lost his mother
    and the rest of his family,
[05:16] TESSHIN
    I decided to take him in.
[05:45] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    It's no use. There's no point in copying him.
[05:48] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    What are you doing, Kenshin?
[05:55] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Father, teach me the Divine
    Fist of the North Star.
[05:59] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    I already told you that I wouldn't.
[06:02] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    The next successor to the Divine Fist
    of the North Star will be Kenshiro.
[06:07] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    That is my plan.
[06:09] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I still want to study the Divine Fist
    of the North Star and grow stronger.
[06:14] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Stronger? Why?
[06:19] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    So you'll acknowledge me.
[06:24] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I have no memories from before I came here.
[06:28] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I don't even remember
    my dead mother's face.
[06:30] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    I told you, that's due to the
    shock of falling into the river.
[06:33] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I have to fill the hole that left
    by achieving something.
[06:38] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    For me, that means earning
    your acknowledgment.
[06:44] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    That's why you want to study the Divine
    Fist of the North Star and grow stronger?
[06:55] TESSHIN
    He's trying to compensate with
    his fists for the memories
[06:59] TESSHIN
    and familial love that he lost.
[07:03] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    The Divine Fist of the North Star
    can have only one successor.
[07:06] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Eventually one of you will be forbidden
    to practice it and will have to be defeated.
[07:11] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Are you prepared for that?
[07:14] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I am.
[07:16] TESSHIN
    And so, Kenshin began studying the
    Divine Fist of the North Star under me.
[07:34] TESSHIN
    As Kenshin devoted himself to his training,
[07:37] TESSHIN
    I saw in him and his fists that he had
    the potential to become the successor.
[07:43] TESSHIN
    But at the same time,
    his single-mindedness also made me uneasy.
[07:49] TESSHIN
    I felt he would someday
    bring suffering upon himself...
[07:59] RAMON
    Then why did you leave Father?
[08:05] KENSHIN
    Because I forsook this man.
[08:07] RAMON
    What?!
[08:12] KENSHIN
    At the time, Japan was being
    forced to decide whether
[08:15] KENSHIN
    it would participate in the
    war that had broken out,
[08:18] KENSHIN
    so we were sent to Europe
    along with some officials.
[08:22] (Flashback) MARINE
    Welcome back.
[08:24] KENSHIN
    While we were there, a woman
    named Marine took care of us.
[08:31] (Flashback) MARINE
    You're alone? Where is Tesshin-san?
[08:34] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    He said he'd be late and
    told me to return alone.
[08:37] (Flashback) MARINE
    I see.
[08:40] (Flashback) MARINE
    Dinner is ready. Let's eat without him.
[08:48] (Flashback) MARINE
    Well, bon appétit.
[08:52] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Thanks for the food.
[09:02] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Your cooking is always so good.
[09:07] (Flashback) MARINE
    Don't spill, now.
[09:09] (Flashback) MARINE
    You can judge a person's
    character by how they eat.
[09:30] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Japan has decided to go to war.
[09:34] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Why?
[09:36] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    This is a war to stop the war.
[09:39] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    The Divine Fist of the North Star exists to
    bring peace to the world and save people.
[09:43] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    This doesn't make sense!
[09:45] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I won't accept this!
[09:52] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Now should be the time to put the
    Divine Fist of the North Star to use.
[09:59] (Flashback) MARINE
    Tesshin-san went out alone.
[10:06] (Flashback) MARINE
    You were arguing quite loudly.
[10:08] (Flashback) MARINE
    I could hear you throughout the entire house.
[10:12] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I'm not wrong!
[10:14] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    The Divine Fist of the
    North Star is supposed to be
[10:17] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    the ultimate style that will
    lead the world to peace.
[10:21] (Flashback) MARINE
    Still, it's wonderful to have
    family that you can argue with.
[10:32] (Flashback) MARINE
    You can't argue with yourself, after all.
[10:48] (Flashback) MARINE
    People are quick to anger
    when they're hungry.
[10:51] (Flashback) MARINE
    I'll go bake some bread.
[10:53] (Flashback) MARINE
    You can make up once you've eaten. Got it?
[11:02] (Flashback) MARINE
    Oh, I forgot. We're out of flour.
[11:07] (Flashback) MARINE
    I'd better go buy some.
[11:50] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Marine-san!
[11:53] KENSHIN
    Marine-san...
[11:54] KENSHIN
    No!
[11:56] KENSHIN
    Marine-san...
[11:57] KENSHIN
    Marine-san!
[12:00] KENSHIN
    No...
[12:01] KENSHIN
    No, no!
[12:03] KENSHIN
    No!
[12:16] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Marine-san...
[12:31] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Marine-san...
[13:18] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Why?!
[13:20] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Why are people like you only
    capable of doing stupid things?!
[13:26] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I'll throw all of you out
    like the trash you are!
[13:35] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Go away!
[13:37] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Go away!
[13:38] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Go away!
[13:41] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I'll make all of you go away!
[14:12] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Why...
[14:15] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Why did I study the Divine
    Fist of the North Star?
[14:21] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    What point is there in a style that
    can't even save the people I love?
[14:30] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I'm sick of this world.
[14:36] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Where...
[14:40] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    should I go now?
[14:45] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Kenshin...
[14:51] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    It's over.
[15:03] KENSHIN
    Abandoning the path to succession,
    I wandered the world,
[15:08] KENSHIN
    eventually encountered the
    Heaven Dipper Sacred Yin Fist,
[15:11] KENSHIN
    and learned my bloody destiny.
[15:15] TESSHIN
    So you realized the truth.
[15:18] RAMON
    What do you mean?
[15:19] KENSHIN
    This man struck my pressure
    points in order to erase my past
[15:23] KENSHIN
    and forced false memories onto me.
[15:26] TESSHIN
    You struck your own pressure
    points to recover your memories.
[15:36] TESSHIN
    He and his mother were being hunted by
    the Nahash people for betraying them.
[15:43] (Flashback) NAHASH
    You mongrels sullied our Nahash blood.
[15:45] (Flashback) NAHASH
    You'll pay with your lives.
[16:11] TESSHIN
    Upon seeing that frightful light,
    I decided that his memories
[16:19] TESSHIN
    and power must be sealed away.
[16:24] TESSHIN
    I did it to protect you.
[16:28] KENSHIN
    You did it for me?
[16:31] TESSHIN
    Kenshin, do you hate me
    for erasing your memories?
[16:36] KENSHIN
    No. If anything, I am grateful.
[16:40] KENSHIN
    Thanks to you, I was able to acquire
    both the Divine Fist of the North Star
[16:43] KENSHIN
    and the Heaven Dipper Sacred Yin Fist.
[16:47] KENSHIN
    I will acquire Migadol's thunderbolts,
[16:51] KENSHIN
    destroy this rotten world,
    and create a new one!
[16:57] TESSHIN
    You intend to carry out the re-creation
    described in the Nahash prophecy?
[17:04] KENSHIN
    I'm nothing like that anachronistic doctrine.
[17:08] TESSHIN
    Then...
[17:10] KENSHIN
    I will choose my heroes.
[17:13] KENSHIN
    They will create my new world.
[17:17] KENSHIN
    That is the re-creation I seek!
[17:22] TESSHIN
    So you'll only allow those you want to remain?
[17:26] KENSHIN
    My new world only needs exceptional heroes.
[17:31] KENSHIN
    I don't need anyone who's not of my choosing.
[17:36] TESSHIN
    How truly egocentric.
[17:40] TESSHIN
    You've fallen far, Kenshin.
[17:44] TESSHIN
    This must be destiny.
[17:50] TESSHIN
    This time, I will seal away your strength.

[18:16] TESSHIN
    Seven Star Point Spirit!
[18:18] KENSHIN
    He's trying to restrict my movements
    by standing in my blind spot.
[18:28] RAMON
    Only the successor to the Divine Fist of the
    North Star can use that secret technique.
[18:32] RAMON
    It can't be defeated.
[18:50] TESSHIN
    Kenshin...
[18:55] KENSHIN
    How naïve!
[19:02] RAMON
    Father!
[19:20] TESSHIN
    I won't let you pass.
[19:25] KENSHIN
    You belong in the past.
[19:28] KENSHIN
    Die by your own Divine Fist of the North Star.
[19:41] TESSHIN
    K-Kenshin...
[19:50] TESSHIN
    Even if you give up everything, you cannot
    escape the destiny of the North Star.
[20:01] KENSHIN
    The North Star is no longer my fate.
