Fist of the North Star: HOKUTO NO KEN (北斗の拳 -FIST OF THE NORTH STAR-)

Under the seven stars shining in the sky,

a dreadful assassination art lay hidden for 1,800 long years

in the darkness of history.

Living in history's shadows, concealed in history's darkness,

it's an art that moved through the ages.

And its name is...

THE MAD DOGS MUST DIE.

A... Auntie, what's that?

It's like an army of monsters!

Don't worry. It'll be okay.

If I take down their leader, the rest may drop their guns and retreat.

Ready boys? We're killing the old hag and every last one of those brats!

Huh?

May the Lord watch over us...

She got him?!

A gunshot...

A gunshot?

I didn't hear anything.

It can't be...

Old... hag...

Get out of here! I'll shoot!

Go ahead and try it!

I'll blow you and your brats sky high!

D... Dynamite!

What's wrong, granny?

Go on! Shoot me!

Old hag...

Old hag...

Auntie!

There, there. I didn't even hit any vital organs.

You'll die nice and slow.

Auntie!

From now on, this is our new HQ!

Say goodbye to sippin' on rainwater!

We've got unlimited water!

Fox!

Yes, sir!

As my highest-ranking officer,

I expect you to earn your keep.

Yes, sir! You can count on me, Jackal.

Why...

Tell me why...

Why is it always us little folks...

Fox.

Let me pick your brain.

How do you figure we should get rid of these brats?

Sir!

Let's see...

How's this?

We'll have the old hag watch us hang them one by one.

Ooh, I like the sound of that.

P... Please!

Please don't kill the children!

Why do you think I gave you a slow death?

This is punishment for that little trick you pulled with your gun earlier.

Now I'm gonna slaughter every last one of those little brats.

And you're gonna watch.

I beg of you... Please show mercy...

Shut up, hag!

Alright! Hurry up and get on with it!

Go on.

W... Wah! I don't wanna!

Be a good boy now.

Go on.

Off you go.

It... It hurts...

Die!

- Huh? - Hm?

Gotcha.

Phew. That was close.

You.

Tch. He must have come back when he heard the gunshot.

- We're leaving. - Yes, sir!

Hey... I've learned my lesson.

You can let me go now.

Kenshiro...

I won't lay another finger on the kids!

I was just following orders!

I didn't do anything wrong!

Don't you agree?

I don't listen to whining evildoers.

I've got no intention of fighting you.

Look.

We've got a couple of your ankle biters here,

so you'll be letting us leave.

Wait just a second, Jackal.

What?

Why should we run away just 'cause some chump showed up?

I don't care what kind of martial arts he's packing. I'll handle him.

Dumbass.

Good news, lightweight!

Today's your lucky day.

You get to face off against a former pro boxer.

Hey.

- You care if I kill this guy? - What?

Heh. Do as you like.

You little twerp!

Die!

Huh?

Hokuto Bone Demolisher!

The hell?

See that? That's Hokuto Shinken.

You scum are next.

Fox!

Stay back!

One more step and I'm blasting these shrimps into orbit!

Dynamite!

Your hands are tied, tough guy!

Jackal's got you outsmarted from every angle!

I'll say it again.

I have no intention of fighting you.

So there's no point in you following me.

Off you go!

What the hell, man!

So long!

Damn, the other one!

Toyo!

Old hag!

Auntie!

Get a hold of yourself!

B... Bat...

I've always known

the reason you decided

to leave the village...

You're bigger than the other children...

You needed the most food, so you thought if you left,

the others could have your share.

You were thinking of us.

You wanted to give us one less mouth to feed, didn't you?

You're a kind boy...

B... Bat...

Take care of yourself, you hear?

Bat...

This is your chance.

Call her your mother.

M...

Mom...

Mom!

W... What did you say?

I'd like you to take care of these kids for a little while.

Huh? You gotta work on your sense of humor, buddy!

No can do, man. No way.

No matter what?

G... Give me a break!

I'm not doing it!

I see.

What... What did you do to me?!

Did... Did you just kill me?!

No, you won't die right away.

It'll take one month.

A month...?

No way!

Can it be reversed?

Only by me.

For real?!

I'll be back in one month.

Take care of the kids for me until then.

Y... You'll fix me if I do, right?

But then what'll I do if you die out there?!

You'll die.

Make sure you feed them.
