Death Sentence! The Fallen Palm

This is...

Hokuto Sokaken?

In the era of the Three Kingdoms,

the Sun, Cao, and Liu families divided the land into three.

In order to protect themselves, these 3 heroes discovered different schools of Hokuto.

One of them, Hokuto Sonkaken, was inherited by the late Ling-Wang, Mang Kuang-Yun, and myself.

Its secret is Soukijutsu, which converts a human body's internal stress into ki and freely manipulates it. Soukijutsu = Ki Manipulation

Now take a look at this wound.

It's a finger strike executed with terrible force.

This man was my trusted secretary.

I never would have thought he would try to kill me.

So that means...

Yeah.

His last words were...

C-Colonel...

Beware...

o-of the man who can manipulate a person's brain...

It can't be.

That's right

This is a fist that can freely manipulate one's brain.

It is the fist of the cornerstone of the Hong Hua Hui...

Hokuto Sokaken's, Zhang Tai-Yan!

Hokuto no Ken still has many secrets.

Even a simple finger strike is harder than it looks.

And so you will meet...

even stronger men on this continent.

So this is Hokuto Sokaken...

How'd he do that?

Well, whatever.

Now I don't need to be afraid of Yan Wang anymore.

Once he and Guise are gone, I'll be able to live it up with the Hong Hua Hui again!

But Sophie comes first.

I have to find Sophie and finish the job...

Or else I'll be in danger!

Back then, I got so close before Guise interrupted me.

Sophie!

Sophie!

Sophie...

Where on earth did he hide Sophie?

In any case, I have to find Sophie...

And finish the job!

Hello, hello?

Oh, yes?

Well, well! Colonel Guise!

The first platoon will patrol the courtyard.

The second and third platoons will patrol inside the hospital.

Yes, sir!

Now that Tai-Yan's returned...

we have no idea what tricks he's got up his sleeve.

He and the Hong Hua Hui are serious about reclaiming Shanghai from the Qing Bang.

And you're their first target.

Most likely, you'll be next.

But the main problem now...

Are the ones around us, Kitaoji, and... Sophie.

Alright!

Back up a bit more!

How's this?

This will transport any patient you want.

I thank the concession's police for their cooperation.

Not at all!

If I can curry favor with Guise, then it doesn't matter what happens to the Hong Hua Hui.

So who do you want us to take?

Oh. She's right up there.

Oh, what a beautiful madamoiselle.

That's...

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing

Now then... Better make sure everything's in order...

I found you!

She was hiding here! Chance!

Is something wrong?

No.

Right now, we need to take Sophie to a safer place.

Yeah. We leave tonight.

We'll leave the escort to my soldiers, you stay here as a decoy.

I heard that! I heard that!

Sophie will come to me like a moth to a flame!

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

What happened?

Get them!

Okay, that's enough. Make sure she's dead.

Sir!

W-what happened?

Fire again!

Alright. Now they're...

W-what's going on here?

You'd better hurry.

My Sonkaken is not much better than your average martial art.

I can't hold out too long.

Well then, you need more training.

How kind of you to say.

Huh?

Yan Wang!

If you know me, that must mean you're Hong Hua Hui.

It's safe now.

Y-yes.

As I thought, we still have a Hong Hua Hui mole in our ranks.

How's Sophie?

She's safe.

We transferred her to another vehicle in the back yard.

Please go to her, Kenshiro.

I must strengthen our protection of Kitaoji.

Got it.

But the problem is, who's leaking information?

Come on out now!

Hey, you're a good girl aren't you?

I found you, Miss Sophie!

Where did she go?

Wait a minute...

They said her memory is coming back.

Then there's only one place she would go...

P-Papa?

P-Papa!

Sophie...

Welcome home, Sophie.

Papa...

You don't have to worry anymore.

Look around you.

This is the home where you were born.

Y-yeah...

You've been through hard times.

Now that you're in Shanghai you're safe.

That's right. This is Shangri-La.

Shangri-La?

Correct.

Just as you fled Europe and lost your home, so will many more.

Those people will gather here,

and they will form a new country, with nothing to confine them.

Shangri-La...

Correct.

This is our safe haven?

That's right.

That's what your brother Charles has been working towards.

Oh, right

Where's Charles?

He was supposed to meet me...

Where is he?

I want to introduce him to someone...

Charles!

Charles!

I'm home, Charles!

Please, I want you to meet someone!

The one I love...

The one I cherish...

Peter!

Papa, Charles, listen...

I.. I... Peter and I...

are going to create a new life...

No!

Papa...

Where did you go, Miss Sophie?

Come out now, Miss Sophie!

Of course. You're in here.

You're the one who killed Peter... Peter...

It seems like your memory's coming back after all, doesn't it?

You're such a retard!

You could've just lived like a doll without memories.

Now you'll die with your memories!

Who... just grabbed my head?

Hey.

You got a problem with people's memories?

If you've got a problem with memories, tell it to me!

Yan Wang!

How did you...?

Your stench!

My stench?

That's right.

I followed the stench you left on the sheets.

That's just not...

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Look at that. You're up high.

You're right.

Well, here's your reward then...

Fly!

Thank you!

I've struck the pressure point Kaiamon Tenchou. Kaiamon Tenchou = Heaven's Unveiling Gate

No matter what you try to hide, you'll tell me everything.

Talk! Why did you try to kill Sophie!?

I don't know! I don't know! I really don't... I don't

It was all my doing.

The Hong Hua Hui and I thought Guise was a threat.

So, we thought that if we abduct his sister Sophie, we could force him to leave Shanghai!

But after I failed to capture her, I followed her here... and Peter... Peter...

That's enough!

Now shut your mouth!

I will confess everything.

This is where I... I...

killed Peter!

And then she got so shocked, she lost her memories and the child inside her...

Didn't I tell you to shut your mouth...

you filthy bastard!?

You're safe now

I'll take you back.

I'll take you to your brother.

Please!

Go quickly!

To the military hospital!

Sir!

Kenshiro!

I heard about the Malraux incident...

Yeah,

I finished him off.

More importantly, you should go see your sister.

Then...

she's really... she's really...

Yeah.

Hold it you!

Huh? Me?

Yeah, you. Have we met?

No we haven't

You know, you smell a lot like me.

Oh? Do I?

That's a scary face you got there!

Not a popular face, Mr. Yan Wang.

I read in the paper that you were picking fights with the Hong Hua Hui.

Keep it up!

I'm sorry, but I have a funeral to attend after this hospital visit!

Exause me!

Sophie!

Sophie!

C-Charles...

Sophie!

Charles?

Sophie!

Charles!

Sophie...

D-do you remember me?

Do you remember your brother?

I missed you...

Charles!

Your memories really came back!

Wait there! I'll be right up!

Charles is in such a rush... Even though I'm not going anywhere.

Their reunion is so beautiful.

And now...

it's time for the funeral.

Sophie!

What's wrong?

His smell is coming from inside.

What's going on? Something's telling me...

That I should get out of here!

The smell of flowers...

His smell...

The smell of nitroglycerin!

Dynamite!

That's not possible!

Let me go!

S-Sophie!!!

Love makes people go blind.

It's the most dangerous emotion in our world.

Now you wish you would've been more careful...

Right, Guise?

Sophie!

I'm sorry, Charles...

We were finally reunited, but now...

Don't say that. You'll live Sophie!

I'm going to make a new country. It'll be like you, father, and mother dreamt of,

where no one will hurt you. So please...

That's a lovely dream.

But Peter's waiting for me.

But... I can't meet him like this...

Can you see?

Look.

You're beautiful, Sophie

I wanted you.. to meet... him...

He's glaring at us! Why didn't he die?

What's there to be afraid of?

They'll be the ones who run scared when the Hong Hua Hui throws off its mask and reveals the beast within!

I'll bury this Hokuto Shinken that has wasted away in Japan!

The death sentence Datensho. Datensho = Falling Heaven Palm

He was giving off the evil smell of Hokuto Sokaken!

I'll make you feel the pain of this body...

No, more than that...

I'll make you feel the pain...

of a shattered soul!
