THE HOKUTO SUCCESSOR

Ken~san...

I know my death here is likely to cause you problems,

so all I can do for you is die as an assassin.

After all, a piece of trash will always be trash.

Farewell, Ken~san!

Li~san?

What happened, Li~san?

Kitaoji?

What's happened? Is something wrong?

What is this, Kitaoji?

I don't know.

After I brought him here to your apartment, I came back with tea, but there was no one here.

Look...

Ken~san, thank you for everything.

I was very happy to share all those old memories with you.

Take care of yourself.

Li~san, do you intend to die alone?

Wait, sensei!

I'm sorry I left you all alone for such a long time.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

Squeak, squeak, squeaky, squeak!

My sweet new, my sweet new car!

My sweet new, my sweet new car!

My sweet new, my sweet new car!

I'm going to make you beautiful!

Squeak, squeak, squeaky, squeak!

Shining bright just like my head!

W~W~What?!

A professor and a student together this late at night~?!

Wait, where are you going sensei?

Insolence!

Insolence!

Such insolence!

Sensei! Where are you going, sensei?!

That man is...

But, that man is...!

Everything is fine.

This is none of your concern, you should hurry home.

But, when that man saw me, he said the name ''Yu~Ling''.

Who is that, sensei?!

What, what, what, what?

What's going on?

Wait! Please wait, sensei!

Wait, Kenshiro!

Yu~Ling!

Sensei!

Forgive me, sleep peacefully.

What a dirty Professor!

What do you intend to do with Miss Kitaoji?!

K~K~K~Kasumi~kun!

So this is your true nature!

Good timing, I'll have you come with me!

You really want to do this?!

I have a 2nd dan in Judo, 8th with the abacus!

No way! Stop this!

Ouch~!

W~What are you doing?

Take the wheel!

The wheel? Why~?

Why? Please, just tell me why!

So, what do you plan to achieve by bringing him here?

He will call Yan~Wang.

What?

Yan~Wang's sense of smell is like that of a dog.

He will likely follow the trail of Li's blood here.

I see, good plan.

But, Jin Ke~Rong, to think that you were also after the bounty on Yan~Wang's head.

What do you plan to do?

I'm going to shoot him, of course.

The 500,000 Yuan bounty will then be in my possession.

There is no way his martial arts can match up to my gun.

I wonder about that.

Having mastered martial arts, can one not defeat a gun?

Would you like to test it...

...with me, the Chivalrous Fist of the North Yellow River?

What's this about?

He will be defeated by my fist.

Not by you, or that gun of yours.

Damn you!

You mean to take the bounty for yourself!

What's this? It's slower than I thought.

I can dodge this!

Bajiquan = Eight Extremes Fist Oh, it feels so light! Is this really his Bajiquan?

You're Jin Ke~Rong!

Why would the Commander of Emperor Puyi's Imperial Guard do this?

I won't let anybody get in my way!

No, you can't really be planning to fight Yan~Wang?

I will show you!

T~That scar!

It can't be...

A long time ago I worked as a bodyguard for Jewish financial group in Shanghai.

During that time, I once fought with Yan~Wang.

That was the only draw I ever had...

This is...

the scar he gave me that day!

It sure is lively!

As expected of Shanghai, it'd have to be like this, wouldn't it?

W~What are you...?

Want to go dancing?

Hey there!

You're not allowed to come in!

Do you think you can come in looking like that?

Shut up!

I'm even with this pretty young lady!

Hmm, let me see...

You there!

Aren't you Jin Ke~Rong, the Chivalrous Fist of the North Yellow River?

You're strong, aren't you?

What do you say? Do you want to test my skills?

Get lost, kid!

Life is a very precious thing.

Life?

That's not important to a martial arts expert!

Especially when he has a worthy opponent in front of him.

Isn't it more important to know who is stronger?

You're dead!

See!

What is your name?

People call me...

Yan~Wang!

Above all, even including my position as Commander of the Imperial Guard, I am a martial artist!

Now, I only want to finish my fight with him!

Why are you so obsessed with this fight?

He... He...!

Not even once did he use his Hokuto Shinken throughout the duration of our fight!

Ken~san was always like that...

He never used his Hokuto Shinken in a fight,

since he was always searching for his own fist.

But, to me, it was an insult!

I will never be able to rid myself of this humiliation unless I defeat Hokuto Shinken!

Life or death no longer has any meaning...

The only thing that matters is that our two fists do battle!

Nothing else...

Jin Ke~Rong, please finish me off!

You don't need to lure him with the scent of my blood anymore.

You were the best poisoner of the Qing Bang, the ''Dragon of Sleep''.

So even Li Yong~Jian can't overcome disease and old age.

Y~You know who I am?

Then you must surely realize that my life is of no value.

Right now, your dripping blood is sure to attract Yan~Wang here.

If that was your intent, you have succeeded.

Yan~Wang is already nearby.

Do you want to run away now?

No, I would like for you to destroy my face.

What?

To be honest, the Hong~Hua~Hui have placed a bounty on my head as well.

And?

Everyone has seen me with Yan~Wang.

If I died, then they'd be able to discover Yan~Wang's true identity.

You mean, that's why...

To die while hiding my face.

That's the most this old man can do.

You...

Is that the reason why you wanted to throw yourself down into the concrete?

Yan~Wang is my Peng~You!

Peng~You?

For this man to be so resolved...

Who is this Yan~ Wang?

Thank you, Jin Ke~Rong!

I am indebted to you.

Ken~san...

Sensei!

Oh, you've opened your eyes!

I found you in a deep sleep at the entrance when I returned.

Principal, thank you.

On that note, I must leave you.

Good bye.

I don't remember what happened anymore...

After having given the letter to sensei, I suddenly fell asleep.

That's right, that man and sensei!

They both had me confused with a certain ''Yu~Ling''.

Yu~Ling?

I see, so Kasumi~kun said that name...

Father, please tell me about this Yu~Ling.

So, the time has come to tell you, after all.

Is that right?

Yu~Ling was with sensei when he was in Shanghai.

And the old man you spoke of was probably...

Yes.

It seems I've done something inexcusable.

No, it's just...

If possible, I'd like to see him again...

My sensei.

Kasumi~sensei!

Li~san...

Safe and sound!

Please be safe and sound!

What's this?

This is...

Wh~Wha...

What the...?!

W~Why are you subjecting me and my new car to this fate?!

In the first place, why do I even have to let that bastard Kasumi ride?!

Alright!

I'm going to make you get off!!

Ole, ole, ole!

Ole, ole!

Ole, ole, ole!

Yu~Ling...

What? Are you crying?

Li~san!

That fool jumped too suddenly~!

Why?! Why me?! Why me?! Why?! Why?!

This is...

Li~san.

Li~san!

It's too early to celebrate your reunion with your Peng~You.

This Iron Fan...

You are the Chivalrous Fist of the North Yellow River!

Jin Ke~Rong!

I'm honored that you remember me.

This is dishonorable...

Did you use Li~san as bait just to bring me here?

How dare you say that to me?

Have you forgotten what you did to me back then?!

I have never stopped searching for you since our deadly battle!

I finally found out that your real technique was none other than Hokuto Shinken!

The fighters code of honor dictates that both martial artists must use their full power in a fight!

Yet on that day, you didn't use your Hokuto Shinken!

Damn you...

Look, I still have the scar that you gave me with my own Iron Fan!

I will now wash away this insult with your blood!

I've got him!

You fool!

If you don't avoid my palm, it'll go through your body into your heart!

What?

I can't move...

Why? Why is it? Why can't I move?

When did he...? I didn't notice a thing.

With just one hand he was able to keep my arm from moving.

Wh~What are these tremors?!

Am I afraid of him?

Me... afraid?

Who is this?

He's different... Different from the person I fought in Shanghai!

He is...

Jin Ke~Rong.

I owe you an apology for my lack of respect in Shanghai.

I was born into the tutorage of Hokuto.

The laws of Hokuto Shinken prohibit its use on other schools until a successor is chosen.

During that time, I had not yet become the successor.

I was but a wolf thirsty for blood, searching for his own fist.

But, now you are...

The 62nd successor to Hokuto Shinken, Kasumi Kenshiro.

Kasumi...

Kenshiro!

Putting my life on the line, I will use the full power of my fist!

I can't get my body to move! No, I can't move!

Is it his fighting spirit?

No, it's not my fear...

My warrior's instinct is afraid...

Does it sense the approach of death?

No, it can't be!

Move!

Move! Move!

Move! Move! Move~!

Move! Move! Move~! Move!!

Wh~What... is this?

Impossible, is this the Death God of Hokuto?!

Ni~

Ni~i~

Ni~i~chin~

Ni~i~chin~su~

Ni~i~chin~su~ra!

These words...

These words!

Impossible!

He's coming!

Here he comes!

Here he comes!

I can't move my body! Please move, already!

I need to move~!

These words...

These words! Their meaning...!

That's right!

Jin Ke~Rong...

Niichinsura!

You're already dead.
