[00:01] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Upon seeing that frightful light,
    I decided that his power must be sealed away.
[00:07] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I still want to study the Divine Fist
    of the North Star and grow stronger...
[00:10] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    so you'll acknowledge me.
[00:12] (Flashback) MARINE
    Dinner is ready.
[00:14] (Flashback) MARINE
    Don't spill, now.
[00:20] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    What point is there in a style that
    can't even save the people I love?
[00:24] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I'm sick of this world.
[00:28] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I will destroy this rotten world,
    and create a new one!
[00:33] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    This must be destiny, Kenshin.
[00:36] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    How naïve!
[00:39] (Flashback) RAMON
    Father!
[00:43] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    You cannot escape the
    destiny of the North Star.
[01:00] KENSHIRO
    Don't worry about keeping
    the plans secret from us.
[01:05] KENSHIRO
    You did it to keep Fei-Yan and
    the others out of it, right?
[01:11] ERIKA
    But ultimately, because of me, Yasaka...
[01:18] KENSHIRO
    You can cry.
[01:22] KENSHIRO
    There's no one here right now.
[01:26] ERIKA
    Kenshiro...
[01:31] ERIKA
    No. If I stay depressed forever,
    Fei-Yan and Yasaka would laugh at me.
[01:40] ERIKA
    I'm sure they're watching me from up there.
[01:46] ERIKA
    Look, right there.
[01:49] ERIKA
    There's one shining brightly
    next to the Big Dipper.
[01:53] ERIKA
    A blue star...
[01:56] KENSHIRO
    You can see that star?
[01:59] ERIKA
    Yes. I noticed it recently.
[02:02] ERIKA
    That must be Fei-Yan and Yasaka's star.

[03:48] ERIKA
    People will continue to die because of me.
[03:57] ERIKA
    Maybe I don't deserve to smile.
[04:00] ERIKA
    No, maybe I don't even deserve to live.
[04:04] YULING
    That's not true.
[04:06] YULING
    Yasaka, Fei-Yan, and all the others
    wanted you to live with a smile, always.
[04:12] FEIHE
    That's right.
[04:13] FEIHE
    That's why Yasaka asked
    me to take care of you.
[04:33] KENSHIRO
    Yasaka...
[04:41] FEIHE
    What's wrong?
[04:42] YULING
    Erika?
[04:43] ERIKA
    My head...
[04:43] FEIHE
    Erika? Hey!
[04:44] FEIHE
    Hey, Erika!
[04:50] DOCTOR
    Make sure she gets her rest.
[04:53] YULING
    Thank you.
[05:05] YULING
    The doctor just finished examining her.
[05:07] FEIHE
    How's Erika?
[05:08] FEIHE
    She's okay, right?
[05:09] YULING
    They'll need to re-examine
    her to find out more,
[05:14] YULING
    but she seems to have suffered
    serious damage to her cranial nerve.
[05:17] ZIYING
    Is that because of her photographic memory?
[05:21] YULING
    We don't know,
[05:22] YULING
    but any additional strain
    on her brain could kill her.
[05:27] FEIHE
    No...
[05:29] YULING
    Erika has been sacrificing her
    own life, bit by bit, all this time.
[05:36] FEIHE
    So if those Genesis guys do
    something to her again...
[05:41] YULING
    It would be dangerous.
[05:43] YULING
    I can't even imagine the
    cruel fate that awaits Erika.
[05:50] FEIHE
    Damn it!
[05:52] YULING
    We can't place any further
    burdens on Erika from now on.
[05:56] YULING
    Don't forget that.
[05:58] ZIYING
    Of course.
[06:00] FEIHE
    You can count on me!
[06:12] FEIHE
    Brother Fei-Yan, Yasaka...
[06:17] FEIHE
    I'll become stronger.
[06:22] FEIHE
    I've got this girl called Erika to protect now.
[06:26] FEIHE
    I need to get it together.
[06:32] ERIKA
    Fei-He-san...
[06:35] FEIHE
    You're awake, Erika?
[06:37] FEIHE
    You okay?
[06:41] FEIHE
    What is it?
[06:43] ERIKA
    Sorry. You sounded just like Fei-Yan.
[06:48] FEIHE
    Of course. I'm his little brother.
[06:51] ERIKA
    That's right.
[06:54] ERIKA
    I want to hear about the Fei-Yan you know.
[06:59] FEIHE
    Huh? Uh, sure.
[07:01] ERIKA
    In return, I'll tell you
    about the Fei-Yan I know.
[07:04] ERIKA
    And Yasaka, too.
[07:07] ERIKA
    There's so much I want to discuss with you.
[07:11] FEIHE
    Erika...
[07:14] FEIHE
    Yeah, of course.
[07:16] ERIKA
    Yeah.
[07:20] FEIHE
    Well, uh, Fei-Yan and I first met
[07:23] FEIHE
    when I was living in the
    city in the wilderness...
[07:30] ZILING
    Come and get me!
[07:32] ZIYING
    I'll blow you away with the gun-slinging
    techniques my dad taught me!
[07:38] XUEYUN
    The enemy was driven off because
    I pushed the self-destruct button.
[07:42] XUEYUN
    The mission to save Erika was a huge success.
[07:45] XUEYUN
    That was a pretty great
    achievement, wasn't it?
[07:47] ZIYING
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[07:51] XUEYUN
    Shut up!
[07:52] XUEYUN
    Hey, hippo. Let's go accept
    our praise from Yu-Ling.
[07:57] XUEYUN
    Hey, are you listening?
[08:02] KAWA
    I feel so bad for Erika!
[08:06] KAWA
    Why are such awful things happening
    to such a cute little girl?
[08:15] XUEYUN
    Hippo...
[08:20] XUEYUN
    You hippo, stop crying!
[08:24] KAWA
    Yeah, but...
[08:29] ZIYING
    What's wrong with you guys?
[08:31] ZIYING
    Don't get ahead of yourselves!
[08:33] ZIYING
    I know you're scheming something!
[08:40] XUEYUN
    What are you doing?
[08:42] XUEYUN
    Not a single man who's touched my
    head has lived to tell the tale!
[08:45] ZIYING
    Bastard!
[08:46] KAWA
    Stop!
[08:48] FEIHE
    You're being too loud!
[08:51] FEIHE
    Erika can't get any rest!
[08:55] KAWA
    Fei-He's louder than any of us...
[09:02] FEIHE
    Who's that?
[09:05] ZIYING
    Ramon!
[09:07] ZIYING
    What happened?
[09:10] RAMON
    I need to see Brother Kenshiro.
[09:13] FEIHE
    What? That's his brother?
[09:19] RAMON
    Brother Kenshiro, Yu-Ling-san, take these.
[09:24] FEIHE
    Wow! So these are the North Star
    and West Dipper jewels...
[09:30] YULING
    We need to do whatever it takes
    to protect Erika and these jewels.
[09:36] FEIHE
    I know.
[09:43] RAMON
    Brother, I'm sorry.
[09:48] RAMON
    I couldn't protect our father.
[09:54] YULING
    Ramon...
[09:59] KENSHIRO
    Dad understands.
[10:04] RAMON
    Brother Kenshiro...
[10:10] FEIHE
    I can't believe that guy was your brother.
[10:21] KENSHIRO
    Kasumi Kenshin...
[10:32] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    Come on, let me train with
    Brother Kenshin already.
[10:37] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    No. Don't be so arrogant.
[10:40] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    Hmph.
[10:42] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Kenshin, handle the rest.
[10:45] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Yes, Father.
[10:51] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Kenshiro, continue.
[10:54] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    Okay.
[11:10] KENSHIN
    Kenshiro!
[11:15] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Do you think Father will
    acknowledge you if you hit me?
[11:20] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    I don't care if he acknowledges me!
[11:23] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    I just...
[11:24] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    want to...
[11:27] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    fight against...
[11:30] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    you!
[11:34] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I see.
[11:41] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    I did it!
[11:47] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Your blows are light.
[11:51] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    Huh?
[11:53] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    We call it training, but trading blows
    is the same as trying to kill each other.
[11:58] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    If we are to fight, then risk your life on it.
[12:02] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I will put my own life into my fists.
[12:05] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    Are you prepared to do that?
[12:14] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    Did you let me hit you
    so I'd understand that?
[12:30] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    My life is behind this punch!
[12:48] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Lower your fists, Kenshin.
[13:13] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    If I were your enemy,
[13:16] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    you would already be dead.
[13:24] KENSHIRO
    That was when I first learned to fear death.
[13:30] KENSHIRO
    The thing I had to fear most...
[13:39] KENSHIRO
    was my own brother, Kasumi Kenshin.
[13:53] ERIKA
    It's been four years, Ramon.
[13:57] RAMON
    Erika. Should you be up?
[14:01] ERIKA
    I'm fine.
[14:07] RAMON
    I heard what happened to you and Yasaka.
[14:12] ERIKA
    Yeah.
[14:14] ERIKA
    I heard about you and your father, too.
[14:18] RAMON
    I see.
[14:22] RAMON
    I never knew losing the people you
    love could be so painful and sad.
[14:31] RAMON
    I realized that after losing my father.
[14:36] ERIKA
    Ramon...
[14:39] RAMON
    You've been going through
    this your whole life.
[14:46] RAMON
    Why do you and I and everyone
    else have to go through this?
[14:54] RAMON
    But we have to accept that destiny.
[15:01] ERIKA
    I don't really want to accept that destiny.
[15:06] RAMON
    Huh?
[15:08] ERIKA
    I've resented it before.
[15:11] RAMON
    You, too?
[15:13] ERIKA
    But because of it,
[15:16] ERIKA
    I met Fei-Yan, Yasaka, Kenshiro,
    and everyone else, even you.
[15:22] ERIKA
    They're all important people to me.
[15:26] ERIKA
    Don't you feel the same?
[15:30] RAMON
    You're right.
[15:33] RAMON
    It's the reason you and I met.
[15:37] ERIKA
    Yeah.
[15:38] ERIKA
    And besides, I'm not sad at all.
[15:42] ERIKA
    After all, Fei-Yan and Yasaka are
    watching over me from up there.
[15:47] RAMON
    Up there?
[15:50] ERIKA
    The blue star next to the Big Dipper.
[15:54] RAMON
    What?
[15:55] RAMON
    E-Erika, you...
[16:05] RAMON
    Erika!
[16:09] ERIKA
    Ramon!
[16:22] RAMON
    Kasumi...
[16:25] RAMON
    Kenshin.
[16:29] KENSHIN
    Thanks for your trouble.
[16:32] KENSHIN
    Now I don't have to look for her.
[16:35] RAMON
    What?
[16:37] FEIHE
    Stay away from Erika!
[16:45] ERIKA
    Fei-He-san! Ramon!
[16:48] FEIHE
    Erika...
[16:54] KENSHIN
    Come.
[16:58] ERIKA
    You want to lead the world to destruction.
[17:00] ERIKA
    I'll never help you.
[17:03] KENSHIN
    What you want doesn't matter.
[17:22] KENSHIN
    You're here, Kenshiro.
[17:33] KENSHIRO
    Shucks. I'm out.
[17:38] KENSHIN
    You've gotten bigger, but you're
    as light as ever on the inside.
[17:46] KENSHIRO
    Does that mean you've changed?
[17:51] KENSHIN
    I simply realized my true purpose.
[17:56] KENSHIN
    Come, Kenshiro.
[18:21] FEIHE
    He got him!
[18:22] RAMON
    No, he didn't hit him hard enough.
[18:23] FEIHE
    What?
[18:26] KENSHIN
    How naïve.
[18:29] KENSHIN
    It's too late for that.
[18:38] ERIKA
    Kenshiro...
[18:43] KENSHIN
    This is the successor to the
    Divine Fist of the North Star?
[18:50] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    Brother Kenshin is missing?
[18:53] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    Then why aren't we looking for him?
[18:56] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    It's fate.
[18:59] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    What kind of reason is that?
[19:01] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    He saw this world with his own eyes
    and felt it with his own skin.
[19:07] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    He realized what it is that he must do.
[19:11] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    What he must do?
[19:15] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    Kenshiro, someday you will
    experience the same thing.
[19:23] (Flashback) TESSHIN
    It is the destiny of those
    who follow the North Star.
[19:35] KENSHIRO
    What I must do...
[19:42] KENSHIRO
    Even if it costs my life,
    I'll stop your ambition.
[19:49] KENSHIRO
    That is what I must do.
[19:52] KENSHIRO
    That is my path.
[20:00] KENSHIN
    Those who stand in my way will be erased.
