[00:01] NARRATION
    Passed down from one master to a single
    successor, the ultimate assassin's art,
[00:05] NARRATION
    the Divine Fist of the North Star,
    has remained hidden.
[00:09] NARRATION
    Its beginnings can be traced back
    to approximately 1,800 years ago.
[00:14] 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.
[00:22] NARRATION
    However,
[00:24] NARRATION
    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] FEIYAN
    You used me to defeat Kenshiro?
[00:46] YASAKA
    I will show you the ultimate technique
    of the West Dipper Lunar Fist.
[00:51] FEIYAN
    The Divine Fist of the North
    Star kills with a single blow.
[00:54] FEIYAN
    You won't be able to beat Kenshiro
    with your sluggish style!
[01:00] YASAKA
    It's already over.
[01:02] FEIYAN
    Huh?
[01:09] FEIYAN
    Forgive me, Erika.
[01:12] FEIYAN
    I can't...
[01:15] FEIYAN
    protect you anymore.
[01:20] YULING
    Kenshiro, where is Fei-Yan?

[03:22] KEN
    Thirty degrees forward and to the left.
[03:28] KEN
    Fire!
[03:33] KEN
    This is the shortest path.
[03:36] KEN
    Full speed ahead!
[03:42] KEN
    Driver, hurry. We don't have much time.
[03:46] SOLDIER 1
    I'm not a driver.
[03:49] SOLDIER 2
    You won't get away with treating
    Imperial Japanese soldiers like this.
[03:53] KEN
    What?
[03:56] SOLDIER 2
    Sorry!
[03:57] SOLDIER 1
    Crap!
[03:59] KEN
    I don't care about the Chinese army,
    the Japanese army, or the war.
[04:04] KEN
    The only thing that matters to me...
[04:07] KEN
    is my pengyou's life.
[04:28] YASAKA
    Even the swallow is completely
    unconcerned with your impending death.
[04:38] YASAKA
    My pressure point technique
    has taken total effect.
[04:41] YASAKA
    I suppose it's about time to finish you off.
[04:46] YASAKA
    God of the Yuezhi, watch over
    the West Dipper Lunar Fist!
[04:56] YASAKA
    You still had some strength left?
[04:58] FEIYAN
    That swallow is my friend.
[05:04] FEIYAN
    Even a swallow will die for its friend.
[05:09] FEIYAN
    Kenshiro is... my... pengyou.
[05:15] FEIYAN
    I won't let you kill him.
[05:19] YASAKA
    How impudent.
[05:22] YASAKA
    Pengyou are meaningless!
[05:29] YASAKA
    Are you trying to take out
    one of my legs for Kenshiro?
[05:33] FEIYAN
    As one who devoted his life to martial arts,
[05:37] FEIYAN
    this is my pride.
[05:39] YASAKA
    How dare a follower of
    the North Star stay that?
[05:43] YASAKA
    See you in hell.
[05:45] FEIYAN
    Kenshiro...
[05:48] FEIYAN
    Erika...
[06:04] FEIYAN
    Kenshiro...
[06:07] YASAKA
    Did the swallow bring you here?
[06:12] KENSHIRO
    That smell...
[06:14] KENSHIRO
    You're the man who killed Guise.
[06:17] YASAKA
    That's right.
[06:20] YASAKA
    My name is Yasaka, successor to
    the West Dipper Lunar Fist.
[06:25] YASAKA
    Tonight,
[06:27] YASAKA
    I will avenge the West Dipper's
    two-thousand-year grudge!
[06:35] KEN
    Huh? What was that?
[06:41] KEN
    You got a problem with the North Star?
[06:45] YASAKA
    What an interesting thing to say.
[06:48] YASAKA
    You call the rage of the
    Yuezhi god a problem?
[06:52] KEN
    Isn't it a bit late for that complaint?
[06:55] YASAKA
    It's not just a complaint!
[06:58] YASAKA
    It's vengeance spanning two thousand years.
[07:02] KEN
    I don't think so.
[07:05] KEN
    You must be making up a reason to fight
    if you're bringing up ancient history.
[07:10] KEN
    See? It is a complaint.
[07:13] YASAKA
    Are you mocking me?
[07:18] KEN
    So what if I am?
[07:25] KEN
    If you've got a complaint with
    the North Star, complain to me!
[07:31] YASAKA
    Looks like you don't understand words.
[07:34] YASAKA
    So hit me! Strike me!
[07:37] YASAKA
    Show me the Divine Fist of the North Star!
[07:42] YASAKA
    That's not fast enough to touch me.
[07:49] FEIYAN
    Be careful.
[07:51] FEIYAN
    He saw through my Pole Cross Sacred Fist.
[07:58] YASAKA
    You heard him.
[08:00] YASAKA
    Now pray to your gods before you die.
[08:05] KEN
    Oh, really?
[08:12] KEN
    Hundred Cracking Fist of the North Star!
[08:30] FEIYAN
    Is he dead?
[08:33] KEN
    No.
[08:38] YASAKA
    You noticed?
[08:40] YASAKA
    My blood ran cold when I saw
    all those fists flying at me.
[08:46] KEN
    So you'll do anything to win, huh?
[08:49] YASAKA
    That's the way of the West Dipper
    Lunar Fist, style of the battlefield.
[08:55] KEN
    You're so obsessed with winning,
[08:58] KEN
    but you're still willing to fight on that leg?
[09:01] YASAKA
    Injuries are no excuse on the battlefield.
[09:05] YASAKA
    If it gets in my way,
    I'll cut it off and keep fighting.
[09:11] KEN
    You're an interesting fellow.
[09:13] KEN
    But what do you get for
    exacting your revenge?
[09:19] YASAKA
    The realization of my god's will.
[09:22] YASAKA
    The West Dipper Lunar Fist will
    be known all throughout the land.
[09:29] KEN
    So you're a desert fanatic.
[09:34] KEN
    Looks like I'll have to fight you after all.
[09:53] FEIYAN
    Government soldiers?
[09:57] KEN
    Fei-Yan!
[09:59] YASAKA
    They're interfering.
[10:03] YASAKA
    Kenshiro!
[10:06] YASAKA
    We'll settle this at that place.
[10:25] KEN
    Don't die.
[10:27] KEN
    Erika's waiting for you.
[10:28] FEIYAN
    W-Wait...
[10:34] FEIYAN
    I have a request.
[10:45] SOLDIER 2
    Why do we need a boat?
[10:48] SOLDIER 2
    Can we beat the Green Gang with this?
[10:51] YASAKA
    Yeah.
[10:55] SOLDIER 2
    Why are you smiling?
[10:59] SOLDIER 2
    You're lying, aren't you?
[11:03] YASAKA
    You noticed?
[11:04] SOLDIER 2
    You're going to betray us!
[11:07] YASAKA
    So did you.
[11:10] YASAKA
    I know you just fired on me.
[11:16] SOLDIER 2
    Th-That's because...
[11:19] SOLDIER 2
    you were taking too long to defeat Yan Wang!
[11:22] YASAKA
    I don't care about the Green Gang,
[11:25] YASAKA
    but I will defeat him.
[11:28] YASAKA
    Stay out of my way.
[11:30] SOLDIER 2
    So you are trying to use the army
    for your personal vengeance.
[11:36] SOLDIER 2
    Huh? Is this...
[11:41] YASAKA
    The West Dipper Lunar Fist has pressure
    point techniques that inflict no pain.
[11:46] SOLDIER 2
    What?!
[11:48] YASAKA
    I have no more use for you!
[11:57] YASAKA
    Kenshiro...
[11:59] YASAKA
    That place is the most appropriate
    location for me to kill you.
[12:20] FEIYAN
    Erika's parents were killed
    by the German army.
[12:25] FEIYAN
    And now, I...
[12:34] FEIYAN
    I'm dying.
[12:38] FEIYAN
    I don't want to see Erika look sad anymore...
[12:47] FEIYAN
    I don't want to see that!
[12:51] KEN
    But Erika will have regrets.
[12:56] FEIYAN
    Tell her I left on a journey,
[13:03] FEIYAN
    that I'll see her again someday.
[13:08] KEN
    Fei-Yan.
[13:14] FEIYAN
    I'm... afraid to die.
[13:20] FEIYAN
    I've never felt this before.
[13:27] FEIYAN
    I don't want to lose Erika.
[13:31] FEIYAN
    That thought makes me fear death.
[13:37] FEIYAN
    I regained my humanity...
[13:45] FEIYAN
    because of Erika.
[13:50] FEIYAN
    The Death Bird Demon became
    a human once again.
[13:58] FEIYAN
    Human...
[14:15] ZIYING
    They're so noisy.
[14:20] ZIYING
    Have you been here this whole time?
[14:22] ERIKA
    Yeah.
[14:24] ERIKA
    Their mother went off somewhere again.
[14:28] ZIYING
    Be careful.
[14:30] ZIYING
    If their mother doesn't come back,
    another swallow might kill the chicks.
[14:42] KEN
    How's this?
[14:45] FEIYAN
    Good.
[14:46] FEIYAN
    As I wander, I will die.
[14:55] FEIYAN
    That's good enough for me.
[15:08] FEIYAN
    What a pleasant breeze.
[15:15] FEIYAN
    Untie the rope.
[15:45] FEIYAN
    Farewell.
[15:47] FEIYAN
    Take care of Erika.
[15:50] KEN
    I will.
[16:23] (Flashback) ERIKA
    Hey,
[16:24] (Flashback) ERIKA
    Daddy...
[16:26] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    Huh?
[16:29] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    That's right.
[16:32] (Flashback) FEIYAN
    From now on, you're my daughter.
[16:39] (Flashback) ERIKA
    Daddy!
[16:51] FEIYAN
    Erika...
[17:02] FEIYAN
    What fun we had.
[17:05] FEIYAN
    Erika...
[17:09] FEIYAN
    That's right.
[17:13] FEIYAN
    Keep smiling...
[17:29] KEN
    Fei-Yan...
[17:33] KEN
    I'll never forget your wish.
[17:38] KEN
    Farewell, pengyou.
[17:57] KEN
    Hey.
[18:00] KEN
    What's going on?
[18:02] ERIKA
    I'm protecting the chicks
    from other swallows.
[18:06] KEN
    I see.
[18:08] KEN
    But not all swallows are cold-hearted.
[18:13] KEN
    Some even raise the chicks of other birds.
[18:17] ERIKA
    Just like Fei-Yan...
[18:27] ERIKA
    Hey.
[18:28] ERIKA
    Where's Fei-Yan?
[18:33] KEN
    It's almost time for them to leave the nest.
[18:38] ERIKA
    I feel bad for the mother bird.
[18:41] ERIKA
    She worked so hard to raise them.
[18:45] KEN
    But eventually, the time comes to part ways.
[18:49] KEN
    Both swallows and humans.
[18:58] KEN
    Fei-Yan left on a journey.
[19:01] KEN
    Far, far away.
[19:10] ERIKA
    Then we'll see each other again someday.
