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...

A BETTER TOMORROW

Yo, let's take a break.

I'm so hungry, I can't move.

Don't you have any more food?

I gave you the last of it.

Damn, if you say so.

Crap, he noticed.

Huh?

What's that?

Go, go, go!

Come on, run!

You better pick up the pace, or we'll run you over!

It's over, gramps!

I need to get these rice seeds back to the village!

What?

Once the grain is ready,

we'll share the harvest with you.

Please just wait until then.

I searched a long time for these seeds,

and I haven't eaten a thing on my week long journey home.

Now I wanna munch on those seeds even more!

Please, I'm begging you. Let me go.

Hey, let's leave. We should stay outta this.

You idiot!

You. What're you trying to pull?

Hey, baldy.

Who the hell are you?

Let the old man go.

Can't you see I got a crossbow here?

Stand down.

Your arrows are just floating sticks to my Hokuto Shinken.

It's assassination art passed through the generations.

I'm a professional fighter.

You can't kill me.

What's that? The Hokuto Shinken?

What a moron. Die!

I'll give you another chance. Aim carefully.

If you miss, I'm taking your right eye.

Shut up!

Hokuto Shinken: Two-Fingered Air Stopping Snatch.

S... Spade!

Dammit...

Those guys are...

The seeds...

Please take them... to the village.

Those guys are with King!

The vicious gang that controls this whole area.

This isn't good.

These are rice seeds.

Yeah, we heard you.

But why aren't you eating them?

It's all for nothing if you die.

No, our current rations won't last forever.

But...

As long as we have these seeds, we can grow rice.

We can harvest more year after year.

So that all of us, now and in the future, can keep on living.

Then no one will need to steal food anymore.

We can rid ourselves of fighting.

Rather than today, we must think of tomorrow.

I searched high and low for half a year,

and this is all I managed to find.

Please...

Take this... to the village...

What are you doing?

You're not serious, are you?

Come, mister. Let's go to your village.

Come on, tell me why.

Why're you doing all this?

Don't you get it, Ken? Those King guys are seriously bad news.

They're not like those stupid bandits.

They don't just loot food and water.

They snatch people away to make huge cities.

And they call their boss "King."

They say no one knows his real name.

Oh, yeah. Why were you even roaming around the wastelands?

And you have that crazy martial art.

Back at the village, you said you're going "nowhere in particular."

But that's bull, isn't it?

Who the hell are you?

Where are you trying to go? What's your end game here?

Hey, you can tell me, can't you?

Your cute little companion wants to know.

So, that's how it is, huh?

Man, what's going on in that head of yours?

And you know what?

Picking a fight with King and returning that gramps to his village...

Why're you doing all this for that raggedy old man anyway?

I can't wrap my head around it.

- We must think of tomorrow. - Huh?

I feel like he's the first human I've met in a while.

Human...

This will rid us of fighting.

Hey, we almost at the village yet?

How long is this gonna take?

I'm sorry

for having you carry me the whole way.

I really am sorry.

It's fine.

Spade...

Unforgivable.

I'm gonna massacre them!

Oh! There it is!

What's this?

Isn't that Old Man Misumi?
