HOKUTO NO KEN

(Fist of the North Star)

Wherever Kenshiro goes, a fated battle awaits him. Meanwhile, Raoh, who seeks to rule the century's end, advances his forces across the land, and expands his territory.

Ryuga: But I am now certain. The world will choose... it will choose you, Kenshiro, over Raoh.

Toki: Do not grieve, Kenshiro. Change that grief into anger, and live.

These men of the South Star all challenged Kenshiro to battle. But who is the last general of the South Star holy fist that awaits Kenshiro? Destiny calls for another destiny. In the pursuit of conquest, a storm of battles whips across the tempest wasteland.

Chapter 4 Begins



Raoh Must Die!
The Legend Turns to Terror!!

The Fist King and his army invade a village, and quickly start killing anyone who tries to go up against them.

Some of the villagers try to attack Raoh , but he blows two of them apart before they can even get close to him. The other villagers run away in fear.

As his soldiers declare him to be the ruler of the century's end, Raoh points to the heavens and thinks that he takes what he wants, which is everything. Death awaits any who get in his way!

Elsewhere, Kenshiro's group are driving through a desert when they see a town in the distance. They arrive, but Bat thinks it's a gloomy town. Lin thinks that everyone seems to be afraid.

They come across a man who begs for water, but then collapses. They give him some water, and Kenshiro says he'd heard this town has plenty of water. The villager explains that it did, but then Boogal, who is one of the Fist King's underlings, came here.

Some of Boogal's men then appear, and ask what they're doing. They haven't seen Kenshiro's group before, and wonder if they're drifters. Kenshiro's group start to leave, but one of the men tries to stop Kenshiro. Kenshiro punches him.

The men warn Kenshiro that he won't go away so easily next time. Nearby, two villagers kill two of Boogal's men, and then head inside his fortress. But Boogal doesn't seem to be around.

They yell for him to come out, but he really doesn't seem to be there. However, a statue suddenly breaks open, and Boogal leaps out of it.

TENKAI MUO KEN

(Rotating World Void King Fist)

He strikes the two villagers, killing both of them. But he's more annoyed that he got his hands dirty. He tells one of his men to get a bath ready right away. The guy reminds him that he's already had eight baths today.

Boogal tells him he likes to stay clean, so he'll take a bath ten times, or a hundred times a day if he wants to! It was the Fist King who gave him this land to rule over, so he stoops to nobody. The guards quickly get a bath filled up, and Boogal jumps into it. Water splashes out of the bath.

Boogal says this feels great, and demands more water be put in. Outside, the villagers line up to receive their water rations.

They are each given pitiful amounts, and when the villagers complain, they're told it's because they do bad work. Just then, Boogal arrives at the well.

He and his bath are put down, and he tells his men to fill up the bath with more water. One of them asks about the villager's rations, but Boogal throws a bucket at him.

He says there's nothing more important than his bath, and says that from now on, the villager's water rations will be cut in half. Boogal's men then resume filling up his bath, and he comments on how great taking a bath in the open air feels. The village elder then begs Boogal to give them more water. They can't take baths, and there isn't enough for them to drink. Boogal laughs, and tells him to come closer.

He decides to let him drink as much as he wants, and grabs him. He holds his head under the water and then pulls him out, and asks him if he's had enough. He then holds him under the water again, and tells him to drink everything up.

He eventually throws him back out, and says there must be others who still want to drink -they can have his leftover bath water. His men say that if anyone else wants a drink, they should step forward. The villagers start to step back.

Two of Boogal's men then see Kenshiro again, and are annoyed that he and his group are still in town. They grab Kenshiro and say they'll give him lots of water, and try to push him into the bath. But he causes them to flip over and land in the water instead.

They get up and say they'll kill him, but he quickly kills both of them. He removes his cloak and tells Boogal to leave this town immediately. Boogal says he took over this town thanks to the Fist King , so he won't take any orders from Kenshiro. Kenshiro tells him to tell the Fist King this: fear wins no hearts, and ambition is doomed to be crushed. Boogal thinks he's talking nonsense, and orders his men to get him.

They attack with weapons, but Kenshiro is far too fast for them. He quickly takes them out before they get the chance to do anything.

Soon, most of Boogal's men are dead. The villagers are in awe, so Bat explains who Kenshiro is. One of the villagers has heard of Kenshiro, and says he is a man people have been calling a savior. When Boogal hears this, he decides he doesn't care who Kenshiro is. If he beats him, he can then bathe all day if he wants to!

He then attacks, using the tenkai sessho ken (rotating world killing fist) technique. Kenshiro jumps out of the way, and then starts hitting back. Boogal manages to block most of his punches...

...but then gets hit in the face by one. As he gets knocked down, two of his men try to attack, but Kenshiro goes for them next...

...and kills them both. But Bat and Lin wonder where Boogal has gone, he seems to have disappeared. One of the villagers explains that this is what Boogal does: he can hide his presence, and conceal himself anywhere. He bathes so much to hide his body odor. Kenshiro waits in place, trying to sense Boogal.

He jumps up just as Boogal bursts out of the ground underneath him. Boogal misses, and Kenshiro then kicks him in the face. Boogal says that was impressive, whilst Kenshiro tells him he underestimated the North Star divine fist.

Boogal picks up an an axe and attempts to swing it, but then he finds that he has no control over his legs. He starts to walk backwards, as Kenshiro reveals he hit a pressure point on him. Boogal falls into the bath, and screams for help.

Kenshiro tells him he has seven seconds left to live, and suggests he cleans his body and soul for his trip to hell. Boogal then explodes, and the rest of his men run away.

Later on, the villagers have taken back control of their well. They start to drink freely again, and think they have nothing to fear again. But one of them says their hell is far from over, as whilst Boogal is gone, the Fist King will just send in another army. They'll end up losing the water again, so long as the Fist King lives.

Elsewhere, Raoh is told that Boogal's town has fallen, and it was Kenshiro who did it. Raoh thinks that the ruler of the century's end and the savior of it shall fight.

Elsewhere, two people look at the stars, and watch a shooting star pass by the Big Dipper.

They say that they must finally make their move, all for the last general of the South Star six holy fists. Above them the last general appears.
