A hell full of battles -it's the Land of Asura where the supreme leaders of Asura take control. Here, people believe in the legend of Raoh. Kenshiro, who crossed the ocean to rescue to Lin, defeated one of the supreme leaders: Han.

However, the Land of Asura has two superior rulers. The second supreme leader, Hyoh.

Hyoh: My enemy is Kenshiro!

And the mysterious first supreme leader, Kaioh. Here again, more battles await Kenshiro.

Announcing the Creator of the New Century!
My Name is Demon Kaioh!!

Two Asuras report to Hyoh that they believe Kenshiro is still near this wasteland. Hyoh decides that they'll return to their castle.

Near Hyoh's castle, Jukei, Leia and Tao stand at the edge of a cliff. Jukei tells Leia and Tao that it's time for them to go their separate ways. The Land of Asura has begun to change, as the rebellious have taken a stand. Kenshiro is going to take over the legend of Raoh.

He says that Hyoh is still bound by the cruel laws of Asura, and his battle with Kenshiro is inevitable. But Kenshiro cannot defeat Hyoh, and he can't defeat Kaioh either. He must pick up the seeds that he has strewn himself. He asks Leia is she still cannot forgive Shachi.

Leia says she can't, as Shachi has lost himself in his ambitions. Jukei wonders what Shachi is thinking... what a strange man he is. Jukei then walks towards Hyoh's castle.

Outside, some Asuras see Jukei walking towards them, and wonder who this old guy is. He's not as Asura, but he's not a rag, either. They think he must be an intruder, so they'd better teach him a lesson. Jukei walks up to them, but they tell him to hold it. They ask him what he's doing here, but Jukei says he's here to see Hyoh. He asks them to let him through.

The Asura are not happy that he just spoke their supreme leader's name without his title, and one of them goes to kill him. But he gets ripped apart as he gets close to Jukei. The other Asuras retreat, and close the gate behind them.

Jukei walks up to the gates, and starts to chant. He places his hands on the doors, and starts to melt them.

He blasts the doors apart, and walks inside. Some Asuras run, but one falls over. Jukei asks him where Hyoh is.

However, Hyoh and his army then return. Two Asuras immediately go to confront Jukei, but Hyoh tells them to wait. He gets down from his tank, and walks up to Jukei.

He bows before Jukei, and says he is glad to see his master is well. Jukei tells him to forget the greeting -he's come here today to take his life. Hyoh can't believe even his master has been moved by the legend of Raoh. Jukei says he wouldn't have come if it really was Raoh who came here, but it was Kenshiro was crossed the ocean. That's why he made his move. Hyoh asks why that is, but Jukei tells him he won't believe him if he told him. He intends to strike one of Hyoh's pressure points, to give him back his lost memory. Hyoh says he doesn't understand, as his master was the one who took away his past. Jukei removes his cloak.

HOKUTO SHISOU BUI

(North Star Death Armor)

Hyoh says that it the formal death attire of a North Star warrior. So clearly, Jukei has prepared himself.

Elsewhere, Lin and Shachi come across a destroyed village. Dead bodies are everywhere, and Shachi says the dead consist of both rebel villagers, and Asuras. The flames of battle will spread, and more blood will be spilled -it's all going as he's planned! Lin tells him to stop, but then they see someone approaching.

Shachi says that's Kaioh, the first supreme leader. He says Kaioh's shadow isn't that of any man, it takes the form of a godlike devil. Kaioh storms through the village, riding on his horse. But he comes to a stop when he sees Shachi and Lin. He seems to know who Shachi is, and asks if the woman with him is Lin, the child of the celestial emperor.

Shachi nods, and Kaioh says that Lin has the eyes of one that's destined to bear everything in the world on her shoulders. He decides to take on that destiny. He grabs Lin, and stares at her.

His glance is able to knock Lin out. Kaioh tells Shachi to come to his castle later, he'll give him the reward he's been wishing for. He then leaves with Lin.

Kaioh takes Lin back to his castle. She wakes up, and sees Kaioh sitting on his throne. Kaioh tells her to behold his fury. He stands up and says that the evil fighting spiritual energy inside him can't stop throbbing. It's all because Kenshiro has arrived. In the 4,000 year history of this land, there was a legend of a savior before Raoh. It's said that when this land faced a destructive crisis, a fearsome savior always arrived.

The savior was meant to have the power to devour all demons in an instant. It was a miracle that only the divine could perform, and the people worshipped that man as God. These people were the true successors to the North Star divine fist. Although the North Star lapis lazuli fist had the same power, it has been annihilated from its proper history, and was persecuted as the art of the devil for the last 2,000 years. But that insulting history will now be changed. The legend of the North Star divine fist savior shall come to an end.

He, Kaioh, of the North Star lapis lazuli fist, will become the creator of the new century. He tells Lin that as she is the child of the celestial emperor, she will witness the death of the North Star divine fist.

Hyoh removes his cape, and recalls the saying that to become a warrior, you must defeat your master. That was Jukei's teaching, and he will accept his challenge. He asks Jukei to make the first move, but Jukei just stands there. Hyoh thinks his master may have aged too much, so he runs towards him.

He does a punch which throws out a blast of energy, but Jukei avoids it. The blast hits the wall, whilst Jukei gets behind Hyoh.

Hyoh goes to strike him, but Jukei blocks his attack. Hyoh immediately follows it up with another punch.

Jukei smashes into a wall, but is unharmed. He walks towards Hyoh. Hyoh wonders what he's trying to do -he said he wanted to defeat him, so why isn't he trying to attack? Jukei tells him he'll attack that false mask he wears.

Hyoh says he doesn't understand, and then goes to attack Jukei again. But Jukei starts chanting, and Hyoh finds that he can't move.

An Asura attempts to help Jukei, but gets obliterated when he gets too close to Jukei. Hyoh thinks Jukei has put some kind of spell on his body.

Jukei tells him that he has bound his body with spells, and he will soon regain his memory. Hyoh asks what is in his memory, and Jukei says it is the only way to defeat Kaioh without Raoh. It's the key to breaking the seal, and awakening the real North Star. Hyoh realizes Jukei doesn't intend to just kill him, but to kill Kaioh, along with the North Star lapis lazuli fist, as well.

Elsewhere, Kenshiro walks through a canyon, as an Asura follows him. Kenshiro stops, and asks the Asura how long he's going to keep following him. The Asura, Gameleo, sees that Kenshiro has spotted him, but thinks this just makes things easier for him. He introduces himself to Kenshiro.

Kenshiro says this is good timing, as he'll get him to say where the castle of that supreme leader Asura is. Gameleo thinks he must be crazy, as he intends to defeat him here. He wants to become a supreme leader, and he leaps down towards Kenshiro.

Kenshiro dodges every attack Gameleo makes, and slices his weapon up. Gameleo continues his attack, but he can't hit Kenshiro.

Kenshiro breaks his weapon into more pieces, but this still isn't enough to get Gameleo to stop. It's only once Kenshiro hits his weapon one more time that he decides to give up. Kenshiro asks him if he still wants to fight.

Gameleo says he's just getting started. He makes his outfit transform, and covers his face with dust. He says that his armor is the perfect stone camouflage, and pulls out a blade.

Kenshiro asks him if he's some kind of chameleon. Gameleo gets offended, and spins around, making dust go everywhere. Once the dust settles, Gameleo appears to have vanished. Kenshiro starts walking forward, as Gameleo mumbles that Kenshiro can't tell where he is -and once he gets close enough, he'll stab him. Kenshiro suddenly stops.

He tells Gameleo that when his trick is based on his suit of armor, he should learn to keep his mouth shut. Gameleo tries to attack, but Kenshiro jumps over him, and hits a pressure point on his head.

Kenshiro then stands on Gameleo's head, and tells him to show him were the supreme leader's castle is. Gameleo points out the direction, and says that Lord Hyoh's castle is to the west. But Kenshiro has to jump off him, as Gameleo explodes.

Shachi appears, and tells Kenshiro it has been a while. He says he won't return to his father's boat, as he wants to complete his ambitions. He also reveals that Lin has also stayed in this land. Kenshiro asks where Lin is now.

Shachi says that Lin is with Demon Kaioh, the ruler of all the evil in the Land of Asura. If he wants her back, he must go to Kaioh! Shachi then runs off, leaving Kenshiro to make his choice.
