ASK THE DRAGON

It turned out to be quite a birthday party, didn't it, Mei-Yu?

It's alright.

This is what I wanted.

But to think it would go so far...

A fight between Hokuto masters...

Thanks to you... I got quite a show.

That's Kenshiro's world...

Indeed.

And you Mei -Yu, have stepped into it.

Yes, I'm prepared for the consequences.

For now you need to lay low.

Wu will definitely come to kill you...

tonight.

Don't worry.

I'd rather die than be touched by him.

I admire your strength of will.

I'll give you some good news as a present for your birthday.

Good news?

Alright, this will do.

Hey, wouldn't wood be lighter?

Seriously. You're not going to be able to move it at all with this piece of steel on.

Is it really alright?

Yeah, it's fine.

I guess it's a little cheap.

Anyway, back when I was training in Shanghai...

I used to fix it like this.

H-hey, what're you doing?

You're gonna break it again!

Well, that should do.

So it does hurt!

Yeah, but I know where Pan is!

What!? He’s alive!?

He's still alive!?

Yes. Your lover, Pan Guang-Lin wasn't killed.

He's... alive...

He's still...

But... where is he?

He's close.

Ling-Wang said he saw Pan two hours ago.

And I caught Pan's scent when I fought him.

He's definitely alive.

But Ken, even if your nose is like a dog's, that can't be enough...

Listen.

First, I got the scent of water from Ling-Wang.

Water...

Not the water of a big river...

I've got it

It's the scent of Suzhou River!

I also smelled incense.

It's probably a graveyard.

Wu Dong-Lai...

Know any graves connected to him?

Graves?

Graves connected to Wu Dong-Lai, the "actress eater"?

Actress eater...

Dad, I just remembered! Wu was a huge fan of that actress who killed herself, Lin Lin-Xi.

That's right! It was his crazy sex habits that drove her to suicide...

he even had his ancestors' mausoleum moved next to her grave!

Where is it?

A cemetery near Xinzha, on the banks of the Suzhou River.

The Gongzhao Citadel!

He could have definitely locked up Boss Pan there.

Okay! Ken, Dad, let's go to the Gongzhao Citadel!

No, we can't move yet.

But, why not!?

Yeah! We finally know where Boss Pan is.

So why, why can't we go Ken!?

Who was it again?

Which of you said that Mei-Yu had the hots for me?

Y-you've got the wrong guy!

N-not me!

So what was Yan-Wang doing at the Grand Theatre, huh?

Isn't it strange?

Hmm? Hmm?

This means that I...

Hmm? Hmm?

I...!

I was tricked!!!

Mei-Yu and Yan-Wang were in it together!

We'll bring Mei-Yu to you at once!

Hold it!

We're screwed!

We're gonna die!

I just thought of something good.

I think I'll do some cooking for a change!

N-n-n-no way!

Cooking!?

It's Mei-Yu's birthday, after all. I should treat her to my homemade cooking!

A-a fine idea...

Then get started with the preparations!

On it!

He wants us to do the "cooking"!

I'd rather be killed!

Watch me, Mei-Yu.

I see... So Mei-Yu's in danger too.

Yeah.

We don't know what Wu will do now.

And there's also Ling-Wang.

We can't move until we know what Wu's gonna do.

So where are we gonna go?

To Pan?

Or to Mei-Yu?

Come on, Ken!

Ken, what's that?

The Dragon Medallion.

It was given to me by a Taoist master of astrology,

and he told me:

When I face a dilemma, I should ask this dragon.

That was...

back when I was training one day, I collapsed from serious injuries.

What’s up old man?

Something on my face?

I see nothing, nothing at all

You have quite a mysterious aspect

I cannot read your destiny at all

Master, is my aspect that bad?

No, no, not at all.

Listen.

It is true that the destiny of the world cannot be changed

Just as this village, once teeming with people, was unable to defy its destiny to become what you see today

However, the destiny of people can be changed If you have a few skills.

And your aspect allows you to change your destiny as you will, which is why I cannot read it

Could this Taoist know that I'm a disciple of Hokuto...!?

No need to look so puzzled

Here, take this.

The Dragon Medallion.

When you doubt what path you should take,

ask this dragon yea' or 'nay'.

Heads for 'yea'...

Tails for 'nay'.

But.. I've done nothing to deserve this...

Not so.

It is not about debt, but fate.

Listen, what changes destiny is the fate that binds people together.

If you so wish it, you will make strong connections.

I have always wished... to meet a disciple of Hokuto.

Master...

Man of Hokuto...

I wish you well on your journey of fate!

So that Dragon Medallion will show you the way?

Ken!

You're gonna try it?

Yeah.

Just as that Taoist said...

This may be the time to ask this Dragon Medallion what path I should take.

I will go to Pan's side!

What do you say, heads or tails?

Heads.

Dad, we're going to the Gongzhao Citadel!

Yeah!

We're going to save Pan!

Alright!

What's wrong, Dad?

Hold on, there's someone in the road.

Damn, what a scary face.

Ken, you know that guy?

Oh? His right arm should be broken too.

I'm surprised he made it out here.

No time to be smiling. What should we do?

He doesn't look like he'll just let us go.

Run him over.

Oh yeah!

Yeah, let's run him over!

Let's go!

Better move if you don't wanna die!

Huh? He's not moving.

Does he wanna die?

Move, dammit! Move, dammit!

His is better than mine.

We're gonna crash!

Get down!

That guy's crazy!

That was Ling-Wang.

You could've told me that sooner!

Anyway, step on it!

Where is he going...?

Well, whatever. I'll hunt the other one first.

Kenshiro is probably going to rescue Pan right now.

If he doesn't hurry, Pan will most likely be killed tonight.

But why...?

Because, only you love Pan.

Wu hates him for that, which is why he continues to keep him alive for his amusement.

That's terrible!

Shit, it's already starting.

Aww man, I hate having to clean up after his cooking.

I don’t want to see how he prepares it this time.

When can I go home?

Say Pan, do you know what day it is?

That's right! It's Mei-Yu’s birthday!

So I have to prepare the best food for her party, right!?

I've decided to prepare for her a Dragon Tiger Plate for this occasion.

Look, isn't it magnificent?

Oh, I see!

You're wondering where's the tiger in this Dragon Tiger Plate, aren't you?

Good of you to notice! There's no tiger.

What should I do?

The dish can't be completed like this!

But don't worry!

We have a tiger right here!

That's right. The meat for today's Dragon Tiger Plate will be the head of the Tiger of Shanghai, Pan Guang-Lin!

With this, it'll be complete!

I can't wait to see Mei-Yu's tears of joy as she eats it without even knowing!

Oh, hear that?

It's about time.

Come, let's get cooking!

What's so funny!?

So you're still fawning over Mei-Yu?

Yes, of course!

Pan, she's too good for you!

When I'm done cooking, I'll be sure to take good care of her!

That's impossible.

What?

You don't get it?

Then let me tell you.

It's your face dammit, your face.

My face?

Mei-Yu only cares about looks.

She won't go after anything but the best.

What about you?

You good looking?

And for a comparison, how about me?

You get it now?

You still don't get it?

Listen, Wu Dong-Lai.

A man's face decides how he lives.

Your face is a reflection of your pitiful existence!

Get it over with. I'll die laughing.

A handsome man is handsome even in death.

You son of a bitch!

You'll regret talking about looks!

I'll drop you in the oil. It's hot, you know!

I can't stand the sight of a man's jealousy.

What?

Ahhh! It's hot, dammit!

W-why are they in the oil!?

What's this!?

Flour?

Alright, time to cook.

The main course is fried walrus.

Yan-Wang!

Wu Dong-Lai!

You'll regret ignoring my warning to leave Shanghai.

You think you have the upper hand?

I'll shoot Pan!

Well, Yan-Wang? You have any regrets?

Just shoot me already!

I don't have long to live anyway.

This last meeting with Kenshiro is all I need for my journey to the otherworld.

How nice to have a Peng-You.

It makes me cry, Yan-Wang.

Are you going to let such a good guy be killed?

Do it.

What was that?

Go ahead.

You'll die next.

You sure?

I-I-I'll really pull the trigger!

Get it over with, dumbass!

Get it over with, dumbass!

lf l pull the trigger, I’m done.

But I can't show weakness...

Fine!

You sure?

You really, really really really sure?

Hurry up! You sure?

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!

Uh, huh?

W-where'd he go?

S-shit...

Alright, Pan, you'll die first!

W-who the hell are you, brat...!?

Alright, now it's my turn.

Hold on, Ken.

Let me finish him.

Ye!?

Y-You...!

I won't forgive you for doing this to my brother, Boss Pan!

Yeah, go ahead.

Take your well earned vengeance.

Wu Dong-Lai, prepare yourself!

H-he disappeared!?

I'm over here!

What!?

To think Wu could move so quickly...

Well, surprised?

My legs actually work, you know! And check out these springs!

Who'd have thought he was hiding that!?

What a nutcase!

This invention lets me move faster than the eye can follow!

You're the ones who're going to die!

Ken, what should we do?

Well, Yan-Wang?

Too fast for you!?

If you try to hit my pressure points, I'll cut off your finger in an instant!

Well, Well!?

Try to hit my pressure points! Come on! Come on!

Oh shit-Oh shit!

Oh shit-Oh shiiit!

Huh? I can't use my springs like this!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

If you've got a problem with pressure points, then let's hear it!

You're not even worth the trouble of pressure points.

Looks like the fried Wu Dong-Lai, I mean walrus, is now cooked.

Don't be stupid.

Who'd eat something like this?

I wanted to see you again.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Peng-You.
