Journey of Fate

I see, I see.

So Ling-Wang was the one who lost.

Right then.

It's as you heard.

Ling-Wang failed.

I see.

In that case, I'll go to Colonel Guise now and sound out the status of the Qing Bang.

No, no...

I'd like you to do something with me.

I want you to show me the power of the French concession's police.

And I want to see it in full!

You sure? You sure? You sure?

It's as you said.

Yu-Ling...

Yu-Ling is alive!

It happened a year ago.

During that time, the Chinese continent witnessed...

the rise of a new power that was expanding,

both economically and territorially.

In retaliation to this power, a violent organized resistance erupted in Shanghai.

Bombings and armed conflict were frequent.

It... It hurts...

Miss Yu-Ling, please run away! Run away!

Kei!

They've lost!

Boss Pan and everyone was beaten!

You have to run away! Run away from here!

Hurry...

Hurry...

Kei!

Kuang-Yun!

I've finally found you, Yu-Ling.

You're going to pay for betraying me.

I'm going to kill you.

I don't regret...

loving Kenshiro.

If that's the betrayal, I'll endure any punishment.

You've got guts.

In that case...

But, can you just wait a moment?

Are you afraid?

No, it's for this child...

until he...

takes his last breath.

This child's parents died from the bombing today.

And he will soon follow them...

At least let this child die like he's sleeping... peacefully.

Yu-Ling kept singing.

She sang for that innocent baby.

And when the baby took its last breath...

Yu-Ling...

shed tears of sorrow.

He's dead...

as if he's sleeping.

Now it's fine. Kill me.

But after that, I couldn't do it.

I couldn't kill her.

So I...

I robbed her of her memory!

Her memory?

Yeah. That was my revenge against you all!

Yu-Ling is alive.

She's alive, but she doesn't love you anymore!

She doesn't love you!

Yu-Ling is now living a completely different life!

Yes, in a place you'll never find.

She's forgotten everything, even her love for you!

If she's alive...

then that's enough for me.

I left Shanghai for her sake.

That's right.

I wasn't right for her.

Being of the bloodstained Hokuto Shinken...

You...

That's why it's alright if she's alive.

As long as she's alive...

Now get the chance! Now get the chance!

Hey, hey! What do you think you're doing with my soldiers?

Well, I'm using them to eliminate the Hong Hua Hui's arch-enemy, Yan Wang!

I want you to escort me.

W-w-w-w-What? You've got to be joking!

It's too transparent... what if Colonel Guise finds out?

Look at it this way, even if Ling-Wang lost, Yan Wang must surely be hurt.

So let's now get the chance!

But...

Just let me do it!

What about Ling-Wang?

If Ling-Wang's there, you shouldn't be shooting carelessly!

Idiot, that's not a problem.

We'll just kill them both!

Kenshiro...

I see.

We've been here too long.

I can smell guns and rats.

There's ten of them.

Seems they've sealed off the exits.

Okay, that's enough.

As expected from a man who wears an iron wig! It's not just for show!

What's that you said...?

Oh... nothing.

Then hurry and help me up!

Y-yes!

Ready, steady, and...

That's a really heavy wig.

Tell me about it.

Well? Where's Yan Wang?

He must be hiding!

Right, you guys look for him.

No way! This is Yan Wang we're talking about! No way! This is Yan Wang we're talking about!

Shut up! You guys want a headbutt?

N-no...

Hey! Yan Wang! Come on out!

You afraid of my underlings?

Don't say things like that!

What are we gonna do if Yan Wang actually comes out?

What are you gonna do?

He came already?

So there you are, Yan Wang!

Who was that?

Did someone just casually call my name... Tian!

Tian!

You've...

really changed!

That's understandable.

I'm now the sharpest man in the Hong Hua Hui.

My class and appearance is now completely... different!

No, no, that's not what I meant...

Aren't you Kappa Tian? Kappa = Bald mythological water spirit

So what happened to your kappa head?

He said it, he said it!

This is bad, this is bad!

Who's a kappa?

Do you guys know?

Oh no, we don't know!

We didn't know our boss was called Kappa Tian!

Right, we didn't know!

Hey, you used to be so proud your kappa head could sense rain before anyone else.

It's gonna rain.

It's leaked out... It's leaked out...

Hey, and what's that?

What have you got on your head?

Isn't that kinda weird?

It doesn't look like hair at all!

You can't have put, iron on your head!

Shut up! Shut up!

I didn't put anything on! I didn't put anything on!

No! Please stop!

If you carelessly throw so many grenades, we'll get blown way too!

This is the top floor isn't it?

Retreat!

That kappa... leaving all these here...

Kuang-Yun, what do you say we go too?

We can't.

They'll be waiting for us at the bottom.

If I come, I'd be a burden to you.

You must go without me, Kenshiro!

What're you saying?

You...

I messed up...

It can't be... from the guns...

If I wasn't in this state, I wouldn't have been hit...

If I'm gonna die...

I wanted to die fighting you.

You idiot!

It's not honorable to die from kappa's minions!

Well, you wanna get outta here?

You can't be thinking of...

Yeah.

I'm pretty sure the Huangpu river is at the bottom of this hotel.

Stop it!

The injured person should just shut up!

Or do you want a double suicide thanks to him?

Well, let's go!

That was quite theatrical...

Ahh... That was a little overdoing it!

I got a little burnt...

But my hair is in one piece!

Hey, hey, that's not the problem here, is it?

What are you going to do about this?

You're the one who's going to do something about it.

See ya!

Hey hey, this is bad! Really bad!

I've got it!

Wait! Please wait!

C-Colonel!

This indeed does look really bad.

No, that was... well, you see...

What's this?

Wha? Wha-wha-wha what is this?

As you can see, it's a summons from our homeland.

Commissioner Jean Carnet...

It can't be... Has this case been exposed in the homeland? Or is it my personal dealings? No no it can't be that, can it?

Wait, is it THAT? Is it really THAT?

You're to have a trial regarding your affiliation with the Hong Hua Hui.

Everyone knows what you're doing.

See? Even that news photographer knows as well.

What? With Kappa Tian?

You really screwed up.

This will cut you off from the Concession's police force.

Colonel Guise... what should I do?

What's that?

A forged passport.

I also bought you a boat ticket to South America.

Take a vacation while this case quiets down.

This'll be enough money, right?

You cared this much about me?

Thank you very much! Thank you very much!

You don't need to thank me!

But you better hurry

Right then... I'm going...

Colonel...

Will I be able to return to Shanghai?

Yes. Of course.

That is, if you can leave Shanghai alive.

You had to face a pretty big obstacle...

Mang Kuang-Yun.

Hey! Ling-Wang!

Kuang-Yun!

Are you alive?

Don't die on me!

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing?

Let go of me.

You're not even injured.

At this rate, we'll both...

Shut up!

The sick should stay quiet!

We've still got a score to settle!

Everything's been settled.

What?

Looks like this is the end for me.

What're you saying?

We haven't settled our score!

Let your wounds heal...

No.

My fate ends here.

It's just what I asked the Taoist for.

What?

I see now.

That Taoist wasn't an illusion.

What's this about?

When my illness began to eat away at me,

a Taoist appeared at my bedside.

Who are you?

How pitiful, Ling-Wang

No... Hokuto Sonkaken's Mang Kuang- Yun.

Just what are you?

You can see it right?

The Death Star?

Why...

A man who sought to refine his fist in exchange for his own life,

I am the only one who will cry for you.

What do you wish for before you die?

My dream is to be the greatest of Hokuto.

And my wish is to confront the successor of Hokuto Shinken!

How did he close the distance so fast?

Impossible!

I can't move!

Just what is this geezer?

I've extended your lifespan.

Enjoy Hokuto's journey of fate for a little longer.

Journey of fate...

Did he say that?

He was a really eerie geezer.

That Taoist...

Was he a drab old geezer with missing teeth?

Yeah, how do you know?

Do you know him too?

Yeah.

I also met that Taoist when I was about to die.

"Man of the Hokuto, live your journey of fate well."

That's what he said.

I see.

You too...

But, now that you mention it...

I also thought that geezer was an illusion.

No... he may have been a God.

And it was thanks to that geezer that I was able to fight you.

That was my fate.

Ling-Wang...

I've enjoyed my fate.

I have no regrets.

Hey, Ling-Wang!

Don't die!

Hey, Kenshiro...

about Yu-Ling's location...

I'm not gonna tell you.

Hey!

Risk your life and wish with all your might.

If you do, you will see Yu-Ling again someday.

That's part of the journey of fate.

It seems it's calling me now.

You...

It can't be...

You can see the Death Star?

Ling-Wang...

Ling-Wang! Ling-Wang!

Ling-Wang!

Kenshiro...

you should enjoy it too...

The journey of fate...

Ling-Wang!

Kuang-Yun!

Kenshiro... Kenshiro... Kenshiro...

You goddamn idiot...

What... what kind of last words were those?

Kuang-Yun...

KUANG- YUN!!!

You probably shouldn't pray to him anymore.

Some villain or other prayed to him. He's dead now.

Kenshiro...

You're back alive

Yeah.

And? What about Ling-Wang?

He's dead.

I see.

Grab on.

It's good that you've returned...

We're both in bad shape...

Praying for me today?

Stupid, I'm praying for Yu-Ling.

For some reason, Yu-Ling liked this skinny naked god.

So I figured I might as well give it a shot...

He didn't take Yu-Ling's life.

What?

So you should pray for Mang Kuang-Yun.

That's right.

Yu-Ling is alive!

I see.

Yu-Ling's lost her memory and is living a different life somewhere far from here.

It was the only way he could make it seem like he killed her.

The Hong Hua Hui are incredibly tenacious.

I understand!

Let's start looking for Yu-Ling right away!

We can't.

What did you say?

You want to bring Yu-Ling back into our bloody world?

I'm sure I'll meet Yu-Ling again,

at the right time, at the right place.

For now, I just need to continue on the journey of fate.

That's true.

I have too many things I don't want Yu-Ling to see.

O thou lost sheep, do you seek God's forgiveness?

Ever since Boss Huang got killed, nothing good has happened.

It's bad for business.

I have to win over another boss...

Listen.

Hear my confession.

I'm going to kill all of the Hong Hua Hni that massacred my Qing Bang brothers,

along with the French concession's police who were in on it.

Is this the head of the Qing Bang?

Maybe...

"Now get the chance!"

Oh, that is a great sin to ask God's mercy for.

Even if you covered God's statue in gold, that sin is...

Gold!

There's no doubt about it!

Now God can shine in gold.

Wait just one moment.

Oh, a miracle!

God has forgiven you!

Go ahead, do what you will at your heart's content!

Bang bang. Bang bang...

I like his generosity.

For starters, there's someone I just have to get rid of.

Is that alright?

Yes, go right ahead!

He's a "Man of God."

A lot of my brothers,

not knowing that this phony priest was in league with the Hong Hua Hui,

had their confessions betrayed and were killed.

Huh? Is that me?

Something's happening!

Please wait!

Our Lord is grieved! No! Please stop!

Don't hold back. I have more money.

I don't need any more...

Don't hold back.

Huang said that if you pay enough, God will forgive any sin.

T-there must be some mistake!

God doesn't work for money!

You can't!

H-h-help me!

Help me!

Ask God to help you.

Well?

I got a message from Colonel Guise.

It seems like Carnet's on board a ship.

He also confirmed Kappa Tian's whereabouts.

Leave that one to me.

Sure.

Tonight, we're going to paint Shanghai in blood.
