Passed from father to one son, the true successor to the art of the North Star divine fist is Kenshiro. He is now on his way to the Village of Miracles to meet Toki, one of his three brothers from the North Star school, so as to put an end to their battle for succession. If the rumors that Toki has turned evil are true, then Kenshiro must kill him with his own hands. That is the law of the North Star.

Evil One!
Toki, Your Heart Has Been Corrupted!!

Kenshiro stands at the edge of a cliff. He says that, no matter what, he must find Toki. Habu laughs and calls him an idiot. If he intentionally goes to Toki, hell just become a guinea pig for him. He'll just be going to his death. Kenshiro pokes the staff...

...and Habu lands face-first into the dirt. Kenshiro picks the staff back up, and asks Habu to show him the way, but without the commentary. The two continue their way to Toki's fortress.

At the camp, Lin wakes up due to Pel barking. She sees that Yuu is burning up with a fever, so she calls his parents. The whole group come over to see what's wrong, and an elder says he's never seen an illness like this before.

Yuu's father asks the elder if there's anything he can do, but the elder says their herbs aren't working. Another man then walks in and says he just heard that the Village of Miracles is near here. Its been said there's a man there who can cure any disease just by touching a person, and this man's name is Toki. Yuu's father asks if they can go on, and the elder lets them. He says their group will go on ahead.

Lin says she will go with them. She and Yuu's family head off, and as they go, Lin thinks that if Toki's there, Ken may also be there too.

Yuu's mother tells her son to hang in there, as they'll soon be with the man who can cure him. Yuu's father tells them to look ahead, as they see Toki's fortress before them.

He bangs on the door and asks to see Lord Toki. The door opens, and a guard appears. They asks him to let them see Lord Toki, as they want him to cure Yuu. The guard tells them to enter, and as they go on, Lin tells Pel to wait outside.

The group are taken to Toki, who asks them what they want. Lin wonders if this man is Toki. Toki asks them again what they want.

Yuu's father asks him to save their son. His mother explains that he has a fever, but they don't know the cause. They've come here because they think Toki is the only one who can save him. Toki wonders if he should save him or not.

Yuu's father says that if he saves his son, he'll do anything he wants. Toki thinks he must have meant what he just said, and tells them to lay Yuu down. As this is going on, Lin looks uneasy.

Outside, two guards are out on their bikes. They come across a strange sight: Kenshiro, and Lord Habu. They decide to run Kenshiro over, and ride towards him. Kenshiro throws Habu up high into the air...

...and hits pressure points on the bikers, killing them both. He catches Habu, and the two continue their journey.

Back inside, Toki hits pressure point on Yuu. Yuu suddenly screams out.

Toki continues hitting the pressure points, and Yuu continues to scream. Toki then stops, and Yuu goes silent. Toki tells them not to worry -Yuu will awaken in 3 hours.

Yuu's parents thank him for what he has done. Toki asks them if they really meant they'd do anything for him. Yuu's father says they did, so some guards come over and grab them. Yuu's father asks Toki what he's doing, and Toki says he's making sure he keeps his promise.

And by that, he wants him to die for him. Yuu's father says he can't die now, he can't leave his wife and son behind. Toki tells him that's the thing he wanted to hear -that overwhelming will to live. He then strikes pressure points on his chest.

Toki says that the will to live can perhaps be powerful enough to keep one from dying. He says he'll press the pressure points that will paralyze the muscles he needs to breathe with. He starts to press on a pressure point on the throat of Yuu's father, and says his finger will soon reach it, but wants him to use his will to fight the pressure point's effect. He laughs manically...

...but suddenly senses something and stops. He grabs a guard's sword, and throws it at the door. Habu screams out, and falls through. Just before he dies, Habu says he wasn't supposed to kill him...

Kenshiro has arrived, and the two North Star practitioners stare at each other.

Elsewhere, Rei's group are out in a sandstorm. However, they now have an idea of where to go -Bat has found out about the Village Of Miracles, and how a man there can cure sick people just by touching them. Rei thinks that must be the North Star divine fist, and Bat says the guy's name is Toki. Rei thinks that Ken is surely going to be there as well. Bat says he'll floor it.

Toki tells Kenshiro that it has been a long time. Lin calls out and tells Ken about Yuu. Kenshiro looks at Yuu, and hits another pressure point on him. He says that Yuu would have died if he hadn't of done that.

Toki thinks he should have just left Yuu alone. Kenshiro asks him why he has changed, but Toki wonders what he means. Kenshiro thinks if this really is Toki. He remembers before, about what Toki had said to him.

How he had said he wants to turn the North Star divine fist from a martial art into a medical art. Toki says Kenshiro is as naive as ever. The times have changed, and in this era, violence is required more than medicine... violence is the better way.

Kenshiro powers up and says that he is not the Toki he knew. Toki tells him to come on -if he tries fighting with him, then he'll understand.

Kenshiro attacks with many punches, but Toki blocks every one. He reminds him he was the one who taught him martial arts, and he can predict every move he makes... unlike Jagi. One of his shoulder pads then explodes, and Toki says that it looks like he's gotten a little better. Kenshiro goes to hit another pressure point...

...but Toki does the same. The two stop their fingers just before each other's faces, and Kenshiro thinks that his moves are so precise... he has to be the real Toki. Toki moves back, and says that the time for the perfection of the North Star divine fist has come. He tells Kenshiro he's going to test the ultimate pressure points of the North Star divine fist on his body.

Kenshiro asks him what happened that caused him to change so much. Toki decides to tell him, it can be a gift he can take down to hell with him. It was when he arrived in this village, where the people were dying...

Toki was convinced that he could make great use of his North Star divine fist here, and healed many people. The village was revived, and his powers brought forth a great miracle here. But one day, he returned to the village, and was horrified by what he saw. Many people were dead.

A villager had enough strength left to tell him that a gang had come. Toki looked on and saw that the gang were still there, killing people. He thought that everything he'd struggled to build up had come crashing down in an instant.

For the first time in his life, he lost himself to anger. Flames of pure rage burned within him, and he quickly annihilated the entire gang.

When it was done, Toki regained his senses. He stood among the dead, and was sized by a depthless sorrow. He could feel nothing but a heartbreaking rage, which threatened to tear him apart.

Toki tells Kenshiro that it was that moment that he had an epiphany. The dream he had pursued was empty and meaningless. The North Star divine fist's original path had been as a killing art. The duty of its successor was to pursue the study of the pressure points to its extreme. Yuu's father calls him a monster, and pulls out a knife. He charges....

...but Toki avoids his attack, and tells Kenshiro to watch this, this is a new pressure point he's discovered! He then strikes pressure points on his attacker's shoulders.

Yuu's father's shirt rips apart, as Toki says that hitting this pressure point speeds up one's heart rate at an incredible level. So much so that it's fast enough to destroy blood vessels. Yuu's father screams out, and then his chest bulges up as his heart explodes. As he dies, Toki laughs.

Toki says that there are still more hidden pressure points on the body. To discover them, he needs more test dummies. Kenshiro says there's no way he can be Toki, and rips off his jacket and shirt. He leaps towards him and does several kicks in the air.

Toki seems to slightly struggle in blocking them all. As Kenshiro lands, Toki's face has been cut, and his shirt rips apart. Toki says that Kenshiro's technique has definitely gotten more precise.

Kenshiro notices something: the large scar on Toki's back. Toki asks him if he remembers this scar... it was back when he was training at the waterfall...

Kenshiro is sat under the waterfall. Toki appears, and asks him if this is hard for him. Kenshiro shakes his head, and Toki tells him to hang in there -the training is only going to get harder. As he walks off, he hears something behind him. He sees that a massive tree trunk is going to hit Kenshiro.

He leaps down and gets in the way of it. It hits him on his back, creating a large wound...

Back in the present, Toki says that this scar marks him as the true successor to the North Star divine fist, and as the real Toki. Kenshiro thinks this can't be, but Toki says that Kenshiro being the successor is just absurd. He starts laughing, whilst Kenshiro thinks if this is the destiny of the North Star... to not only kill Jagi, but to have to kill another brother as well?

The final fight is about to begin...
