Like a Rat!
-From Rage Quitter 87's Fist of the North Star site

Kenshiro takes on Kouketsu's pet.

Kouketsu's monster smashes through the ceiling of the bunker, as Kenshiro enters and sees that Ryu is still alive. Balga and some of the other former slaves run in and tell Kenshiro that they have gotten everything under control, all that is left to deal with is Kouketsu. Seeing that he could lose, Kouketsu gives his monster some drugs, which greatly revive him and make him even more dangerous than before. Kouketsu can even control the monster via machinery on his head, and the two go to battle Kenshiro together.



Kenshiro is still more than a match for them, so Kouketsu gives his monster all the drugs he has and then gets it to grab Ryu. Kouketsu threatens to kill the boy, but Ken says that as he has the blood of Roah, he should be prepared to die at any time -so they can kill him if they want. Kouketsu hesitates but then decides to do it, but before his monster can, Ken hits it so hard that it gets split in two.



Kouketsu finds out that the man who is fighting him is Kenshiro, the one who defeated Raoh. He immediately runs off, using the hidden passage to get to the food reserves. The place is rigged with traps, including one area where spikes will burst out of the floor if anyone goes there who isn't around the same weight as Kouketsu. Kouketsu decides to wait and use this trap to kill Kenshiro, who soon appears before him. However, Kenshiro hits a pillar, which causes part of the room Kouketsu is in to shake, and some food supplies to topple over. Kouketsu grabs them, but in doing so, makes himself heavier. The spike trap activates and kills him. Kenshiro says he has died like a dirty sewer rat, which is appropriate.
