[00:01] (Flashback) ERIKA
    That must be Fei-Yan and Yasaka's star.
[00:06] (Flashback) YULING
    She seems to have suffered
    serious damage to her cranial nerve.
[00:09] (Flashback) YULING
    We can't place any further
    burdens on Erika from now on.
[00:13] (Flashback) ERIKA
    I met you, too, Ramon.
[00:15] (Flashback) ERIKA
    They're all important people to me.
[00:18] (Flashback) RAMON
    Erika!
[00:19] (Flashback) ERIKA
    You want to lead the world to destruction.
[00:22] (Flashback) ERIKA
    I'll never help you.
[00:27] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    You've gotten bigger, but you're
    as light as ever on the inside.
[00:32] (Flashback) KENSHIN
    I will put my own life into my fists.
[00:35] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    The thing I had to fear most...
[00:38] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    was my own brother, Kasumi Kenshin.
[00:42] (Flashback) KENSHIRO
    I'll stop your ambition.

[02:42] KENSHIN
    You stood no chance against my combined
    North Star and Heaven Dipper techniques.
[02:50] KENSHIRO
    You got a complaint?
[02:54] KENSHIRO
    You got a complaint with the North Star?
[02:59] KENSHIN
    What was that?
[03:02] KENSHIRO
    If you've got a complaint with
    the North Star, complain to me!
[03:08] KENSHIN
    That's what you care about?
[03:10] KENSHIN
    Can you only see what's
    right in front of you?
[03:14] KENSHIN
    These fists are simply a means to an end!
[03:17] KENSHIN
    Your eyes are clouded.
    You can't see the truth of this world!
[03:29] KENSHIN
    Too slow!
[03:33] KENSHIN
    Your weakness creates openings.
    It makes you misread things.
[03:37] KENSHIN
    Kenshiro, don't you understand that this world
[03:40] KENSHIN
    is about to sully its hands with
    selfish and foolish actions?
[03:46] KENSHIN
    While wandering the world, I saw the truth.
[03:51] KENSHIN
    In this age, the leaders known as
    heroes are incompetent and selfish.
[03:59] KENSHIN
    And there are so many people
    who blindly follow them.
[04:07] KENSHIN
    The conflict and chaos created
    at their hands continues.
[04:13] KENSHIN
    I obliterated many who were
    heroes in name only.
[04:17] KENSHIN
    However,
[04:22] KENSHIN
    the fighting didn't stop.
[04:25] KENSHIN
    People continue to fight
    and kill one another.
[04:31] KENSHIN
    Even though I knew it was wrong,
    it couldn't be stopped.
[04:35] KENSHIN
    This tragedy will continue for an eternity.
[04:37] KENSHIN
    There's only one way to stop it:
[04:40] KENSHIN
    eliminating everyone who creates conflict.
[04:45] KENSHIRO
    It's true that people repeat their mistakes.
[04:49] KENSHIRO
    There is good, and there is evil.
[04:51] KENSHIRO
    But that's part of being human.
[04:55] KENSHIRO
    That's how the world works.
[04:58] KENSHIN
    That ambiguity is what allows those who
    deserve to die to do as they please.
[05:03] KENSHIN
    The world cannot be saved
    unless it is purified!
[05:15] KENSHIN
    I will end this rotten world!
[05:18] KENSHIN
    I will cause a regenesis!
[05:43] RAMON
    I've never seen my brother on
    the defensive like this before.
[05:51] FEIHE
    What's happening? I feel weak...
[05:54] ERIKA
    Fei-He-san!
[05:58] RAMON
    This is the thief's fist...
[06:02] ---
    Wh-What?
[06:11] ERIKA
    Stop this. I should be the only one you want.
[06:16] ERIKA
    Ramon, give me the jewels.
[06:18] RAMON
    N-No. I can't do that...
[06:27] ERIKA
    I'm sorry,
[06:28] ERIKA
    but I'm the only one who can stop him.
[06:37] ERIKA
    Let's go.
[06:40] KENSHIN
    Are you serious?
[06:42] ERIKA
    I'll end this sorrowful
    battle between brothers.
[06:48] FEIHE
    Don't do it!
[06:50] FEIHE
    If you place any more strain on your brain,
[06:56] FEIHE
    you could die!
[07:01] RAMON
    Erika means to die. We have to stop her!
[07:07] KENSHIRO
    Erika, don't go!
[07:17] ERIKA
    Kenshiro, I'll settle this.
[07:21] ERIKA
    Don't try to follow me!
[07:25] KENSHIRO
    Erika...
[07:27] KENSHIRO
    Don't go.
[07:32] KENSHIN
    I told you, you're naïve!
[07:40] KENSHIN
    You can rue your naivete and
    weakness on the brink of death.
[07:52] RAMON
    Brother!
[08:18] RAMON
    E-Erika...
[08:23] YULING
    What's happening?
[08:26] YULING
    Kenshiro?
[08:30] KENSHIRO
    Ramon, look after the others.
[08:34] RAMON
    Don't do it, brother! You're going
    after him in your condition?
[08:39] FEIHE
    What condition?
[08:44] RAMON
    His shinketsushu...
[08:48] RAMON
    Brother Kenshiro's pressure point was struck.
[08:54] RAMON
    Those whose shinketsushu are
    struck die in three days.
[08:59] RAMON
    But Kenshin's fists were also imbued with
    the light of the Heaven Dipper Sacred Yin Fist.
[09:05] RAMON
    He may not even last three days.
[09:09] KENSHIRO
    I'm impressed you saw all that, Ramon.
    You've grown so much.
[09:14] FEIHE
    How can you be so carefree?
[09:17] RAMON
    I see. You saw it, too.
[09:22] RAMON
    The Death Omen Star.
[09:26] RAMON
    Erika wasn't the only one.
[09:29] FEIHE
    What? What's the Death Omen Star?
[09:32] RAMON
    It's the blue star at the
    edge of the Big Dipper.
[09:36] RAMON
    The Death Omen Star can only be
    seen by those destined to die.
[09:40] RAMON
    Death comes to those who see it.
[09:42] FEIHE
    What? And Erika and Kenshiro saw this star?
[09:46] FEIHE
    You were prepared to die?
[09:50] KENSHIRO
    Hey, got any cigarettes? I just ran out.
[09:55] FEIHE
    Quit acting so tough.
[09:59] FEIHE
    This must be a joke, right?
[10:00] KENSHIRO
    Well, it's true that if I die before
    rescuing Erika, we're screwed.
[10:10] KENSHIRO
    Ramon...
[10:12] KENSHIRO
    Strike my shinreidai.
[10:14] RAMON
    What?
[10:16] FEIHE
    Shinreidai?
[10:19] FEIHE
    Is that a pressure point, too? Will it save you?
[10:22] RAMON
    No. The shinreidai is the pressure
    point of prolonged life.
[10:27] RAMON
    Striking it extends your life for a few days.
[10:32] RAMON
    I can't do that.
[10:34] RAMON
    In exchange for extending your life,
[10:36] RAMON
    that pressure point inflicts
    a pain worse than death.
[10:40] KENSHIRO
    As the successor to the
    Fist of the North Star,
[10:42] KENSHIRO
    I am destined to fight Kenshin.
[10:46] KENSHIRO
    And I must keep my promise to my pengyou.
[10:53] KENSHIRO
    I promised I would protect Erika.
[10:56] RAMON
    Brother...
[10:59] RAMON
    Still, I can't do this.
[11:04] KENSHIRO
    What, you scared?
[11:06] RAMON
    Don't be ridiculous!
    There must be some other way!
[11:09] KENSHIRO
    You know there isn't.
[11:16] KENSHIRO
    Ramon, come with me.
[11:25] FEIHE
    What?
[11:26] FEIHE
    Hey, are you serious?
[11:29] FEIHE
    Are you stupid?!
[11:30] YULING
    Fei-He!
[11:32] YULING
    Kenshin must be heading toward the place
    called Nohal Naha that Erika mentioned.
[11:37] YULING
    We should determine exactly
    where that is immediately.
[11:41] FEIHE
    What are you talking about?
[11:44] FEIHE
    You know how short his remaining life is!
[11:47] FEIHE
    Don't you want to be with him?!
[11:48] YULING
    A man is risking his life to face his destiny,
[11:52] YULING
    and you want me to sit idle?
[11:55] YULING
    I'll do everything I can to help Kenshiro.
[12:00] YULING
    That's my life, the life a woman must live.
[12:06] YULING
    Fei-He, show us how you'll live.
[12:12] FEIHE
    How I'll live...
[12:20] XUEYUN
    How heroic!
[12:22] KAWA
    I'm so moved!
[12:24] ZIYING
    What's wrong with you guys?
    You're creeping me out.
[12:27] XUEYUN
    Try not to be surprised.
[12:30] XUEYUN
    We were actually plotting to assassinate you
[12:34] XUEYUN
    and resurrect the Red Flower Gang!
[12:37] ZIYING
    Uh, I knew that.
[12:40] KAWA
    You knew?
[12:41] XUEYUN
    But I'm abandoning that ambition.
[12:45] XUEYUN
    From now on, I'll help you wholeheartedly!
[12:49] YULING
    Please do. You'll make dependable allies.
[12:52] KAWA
    Yes, ma'am. We'll be true allies.
[12:56] XUEYUN
    No, we'll be pengyou.
[12:58] KAWA
    Pengyou!
[12:58] XUEYUN
    Okay, let's go!
[12:59] ZIYING
    Hey, don't get ahead of yourselves.
[13:03] YULING
    Fei-He, you should...
[13:07] YULING
    Fei-He?
[13:39] KENSHIRO
    Hurry up and strike it.
[13:44] RAMON
    I can't do it. I just can't.
[13:48] KENSHIRO
    There are things only you can do.
[13:51] RAMON
    Still...
[13:52] KENSHIRO
    Ramon, you're a man of the North Star.
[13:57] KENSHIRO
    Steel your resolve.
[13:59] RAMON
    My resolve...
[14:01] KENSHIRO
    Burn into those eyes the way a man lives.
[14:05] KENSHIRO
    Someday you'll have to do the same.
[14:13] RAMON
    Fine.
[14:15] RAMON
    Brother.
[15:00] RAMON
    Brother...
[15:13] YULING
    Fei-He...
[15:16] YULING
    Are you honestly okay?
[15:19] FEIHE
    Kenshiro has suffered and
    suffered, but still he fights.
[15:24] FEIHE
    Ultimately, he'll die!
[15:27] YULING
    And I'll see it through.
[15:30] YULING
    That's how I love him.
[15:49] FEIHE
    Damn it... Men are so selfish.
[15:56] YULING
    Fei-He...
[16:11] KENSHIRO
    Hey.
[16:12] FEIHE
    Bastard!
[16:15] KENSHIRO
    What? What are you so angry about?
[16:19] YULING
    Kenshiro...
[16:26] FEIHE
    Damn it!
[16:28] RAMON
    Huh? What?
[16:30] FEIHE
    Don't just stand there!
[16:32] FEIHE
    Let's go!
[16:37] YULING
    Fei-He and the others found an
    old map in Genesis's basement.
[16:41] YULING
    It gave us the exact location of Nohal Naha.
[16:44] YULING
    It's at the junction of the
    North and South Nishijo Ways.
[16:47] YULING
    Nohal Naha is here.
[16:49] RAMON
    Brother Kenshiro, I'll go with you.
[16:53] RAMON
    I'll watch you fight him to the death.
[16:56] RAMON
    And I promise I'll rescue Erika.
[16:58] RAMON
    That Death Omen Star doesn't mean shit.
[17:03] KENSHIRO
    Doesn't mean shit, huh?
[17:06] YULING
    You truly are Kenshiro's brother, Ramon.
[17:21] FEIHE
    I can't argue with Kenshiro right now.
[17:27] FEIHE
    What's the best thing I can do now?
[17:36] FEIHE
    What is it?
[17:38] ZIYING
    O-Oh, there you are.
[17:42] FEIHE
    Something wrong with that?
[17:47] ZIYING
    Hey...
[17:49] ZIYING
    I know this isn't the best
    time to say this, but...
[17:55] ZIYING
    No...
[17:57] ZIYING
    Actually, this is the perfect
    time to tell you this.
[18:07] ZIYING
    Fei-He...
[18:09] ZIYING
    Since the moment I met you, I-I've been...
[18:16] ZIYING
    in love with you!
[18:26] ZIYING
    Fei-He? Hey...
[18:30] FEIHE
    I've decided!
[18:31] ZIYING
    What? You mean you'll go out with—
[18:33] FEIHE
    I'm going to go with Kenshiro!
[18:36] ZIYING
    H-Huh?
[18:37] FEIHE
    I'm going to watch how he lives!
[18:40] FEIHE
    That's how I'll live!
[18:43] ZIYING
    She's not even listening.
[18:45] FEIHE
    Did you say something?
[18:48] ZIYING
    No, nothing.
[18:51] FEIHE
    Now that that's settled, let's throw a
    party tonight to lift everyone's spirits!
[18:56] ZIYING
    Yeah...
[19:15] YULING
    You always do this.
[19:19] YULING
    Though it hurts you, without a word,
[19:24] YULING
    you try to take on everything.
[19:42] YULING
    All I can do is warm you with my body...
[19:49] YULING
    and try to heal your wounds.
[19:53] KENSHIRO
    That's more than enough.
