**[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.
**[18:12] TESSHIN**
Divine Fist of the North
Star Ultimate Technique:
***SIGN*** Divine Fist of the North Star Ultimate Technique
***SIGN*** Seven Star Point Spirit
**[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.
***SIGN*** Next Time
**[21:53] NARRATION**
Next time, "Destined to Die Together."
