The Imperial Capital Falls! Jako,
You Can Dream in Hell!!

Bat's group walk out of the imperial capital. Bat asks Ken and Falco that, for their friend who has the same blood as them, to answer Ein's death. He reveals that Lin and Lui are actual sisters, who bear a tragic destiny. He then asks them to defeat the one who used the celestial emperor, and plotted to rule in her stead: Jako.

Kenshiro says he knows Falco fights to protect the celestial emperor. Falco tells him that now that Lui has been saved, they no longer have any reason to fight. Meanwhile, Jako climbs up to higher ground, along with a few other men. He looks down on Kenshiro and Falco.

He screams that their lives are going to be taken by him, the great Lord Jako! He has someone activate a trap, as a massive wall drops down over Kenshiro and Falco.

Jako thinks it serves them right -this is the end of the North Star and Source Star. He declares that it's now the era of Lord Jako, and he's no longer a viceroy -he's now the celestial emperor, ruler of the world! But then, a bright light shines out from below.

There's an explosion, as Kenshiro and Falco are revealed to have both survived. Jako tells his men to go and kill them, but they're a bit reluctant to move.

Jako tells them that Kenshiro and Falco are hurt, so now's their chance to defeat them. He then makes them a deal: whoever kills them will be made head of the imperial capital, and will have the power to do whatever they want! The men decide to go for it, and jump down. Falco is about to confront them, but Kenshiro stops him. He says to leave this scum to him.

He picks up a spear, and swings it around. The men think that maybe Kenshiro isn't quite as hurt as they thought, but Jako yells at them to attack him all at once. He reminds them that whoever defeats him will become head of the imperial capital.

The men charge, but with just a few swings of the spear, Kenshiro defeats them all within seconds.

Jako asks Taiga to go -he's sure he can defeat Kenshiro. If he does, he'll make him the new viceroy, and the viceroy is vested with full control and authority! He says that Kenshiro and Falco have no power left, anybody could defeat them now. Taiga tells him that in that case, he should go. Jako asks him what he means, so Taiga tells him to go and do it himself. Jako thinks Taiga must be joking, and pleads with him. But Taiga reveals he can't stand him.

He shoves Jako to the ground. Jako asks him if he wants to be executed for treason, but Taiga simply bids him farewell, and then jumps down into the depths of the capital. Jako thinks it's now time... to run away.

He starts to run up some stairs, but Kenshiro throws the spear. It grazes Jako's face.

The spear hits a structure, causing it to break open and release more water everywhere. Jako gets carried down by it, and washes up next to Kenshiro. The moment he sees him, he runs off...

...only to end up right before Falco. Kenshiro tells Falco that this guy is all his. Falco goes up to Jako.

Falco suddenly stumbles, but Bat says not to worry -Falco is the strongest warrior of the Source Star imperial fist, there's no way he'll lose. Jako asks Kenshiro a question -if he defeats Falco, will he let him go? Kenshiro says he will -if he can defeat Falco.

Jako says that the way Falco is now, even he can defeat him. He picks up a spear, so Falco tells him to try it. Jako attacks, smashing the spear onto Falco's leg. But he shows no pain, and tells Jako he knows nothing -only Kenshiro can break him!

Jako attacks with the spear again, this time hitting Falco's shoulder. But again, Falco shows no sign of pain. Falco says that even if his body was on the verge of death, he could still kill him with one finger. He takes the spear, and asks Jako how many people have had to suffer because of him. Jako wants to talk things out, but Falco smashes him with the spear. Jako falls down.

Jako admits it was his fault, but wants to make up. Falco raises his hand, which starts to glow with a golden aura. He places his hand over Jako's face.

Falco tells Jako to begone from this world, and melts his face. Seconds later, Jako explodes, leaving no trace of him.

The slaves inside the capital are freed. Myu takes Lui to Falco, and explains to him that Lui had been locked up underground, and has lost her sight. But she believes Lui's sight will come back.

Falco kneels, and says he is glad Lui is alright. Lui says that as long as he is here, she won't die. She thanks Falco, and says she can't know how much blood and tears he has had to shed for her. She places her hands on his face, and says that compared to him, what she went through was nothing. She wants to, at least, feel the scars on his body.

Bat asks Ein of he can see this, it's the sight of what he fought for with his life. He promises to tell Asuka of his final moments, and will continue to talk about the way he lived. Myu asks where Lin in, and then also realizes that Saiya is missing. Bat thinks Lin must have gone off to help the others left underground.

Underground, Lin calls out for Saiya. She eventually finds him, and sees that he is trapped under a piece of debris. She throws it aside, and Saiya is revealed to be alright. He asks her why she has returned here, as there are still many murderous soldiers around the capital. Lin says there are still many people like him trapped.

They start to leave, but Taiga then appears. Taiga says he wants that woman, but Lin tells him that Jako is gone, along with his ambitions. She asks him that, as a warrior of the Source Star, to surrender himself to Falco. Taiga says he won't bow down to Falco, and he will be going to a land where they can't reach him. But he's going to be taking her with him. Saiya tries to attack him, but gets blasted out of the way.

Taiga then knocks Lin out, and tells Falco to watch -he'll blow up the imperial capital with his own detonator. He walks off with Lin.

Moments later, Saiya runs out, screaming for everyone to run. He shouts that Lin was taken by Taiga, and he also has the detonator. The capital then explodes, blasting Saiya forwards, but Kenshiro catches him.

The capital is rocked by several explosions, and collapses. As it falls, Taiga escapes with Lin down a canal. Taiga tells Kenshiro and Falco that their fight isn't over yet, he's going to bring them unforgiving battles until they both die.

Everyone watches at the imperial capital falls. Lui asks why Lin had to be taken, just when they'd finally been reunited. Rihaku wonders why the heavens won't give peace to these sad, destined sisters, and thinks that maybe the heavens need the strength of the North Star and Source Star again.

Kenshiro takes Ein's body, and says that as long as he is alive, Lin will never die. Later on, a funeral is held for Ein. Asuka feels Ein's face.

Myu tells Asuka that it's alright for her to cry, but Asuka shakes her head and says she won't. If she cried, her papa wouldn't be able to sleep. She pulls out one of Ein's gloves and presents it to Kenshiro. Kenshiro takes it, but asks why she's giving it to him. Asuka says she thinks it would make her papa happy. Kenshiro picks her up.

As Asuka cries, Kenshiro says that Ein is a friend who'll live within his heart.

Meanwhile, Taiga's group are on the move. Lin wonders where she's been taken, but then the truck she's in comes to a stop. Taiga tells her to get out, as the group walk towards the edge of a cliff.

In front of them is an ocean. Taiga says this is Sea of Death, said to be the only sea left in the world. Beyond this sea, there is a nation engulfed in a terrifying legend. She will cross the sea with him, and go there. He then starts laughing.

Some time later, Kenshiro has found out about Taiga's plan. He puts on his new glove and some goggles.

Kenshiro is headed to rescue Lin, who has been taken to the ends of the sea of death. Kenshiro's cruel destiny brings him to the Land of Asura, and another hellish battle begins!
