The Aura of Hokuto Sokaken

Sophie...

I will...

keep my promise...

to you.

I will make a country...

that will be a safe haven...

for those who have lost their country.

Ye...

Where's Kenshiro?

W-well...

He's been gone since yesterday.

I see.

I'm sorry, Colonel.

It's fine.

He grieved for my sister more than anyone else.

And she knows that better than anyone.

I couldn't agree more.

Please look...

Kenshiro is over there.

A funeral salute?

Look over there... It's Ken!

He asked us to keep this a secret, Colonel.

He's...

Is that good enough, Kasumi?

Yeah.

I see

Keep them firing until you're satisfied.

I don't want...

to cause you any trouble.

No. Don't mention it.

Do as you please.

Thank you very much.

He's a strange man...

that Kenshiro.

Yeah.

Even though my sister had closed her heart...

she nevertheless opened it up to him.

It seems...

Ken's eyes have the power to sooth people's sadness.

No one has sadder eyes than him.

One glance at his eyes...

makes your own sadness seems trivial in comparison.

The destiny of the successor to history's greatest killing technique...

is an unfathomable burden to us who live in civilized society.

I must thank you once again... Kenshiro.

Sophie, can you hear me?

This sound will scare all the demons away!

Now ascend to heaven...

in peace.

Incantation

So, didn't you guys find Tai-Yan?

No.

But we're sure the Hong Hua Hui are back in Shanghai.

Where's that bastard hiding?

Well, we're patrolling all of Shanghai.

He'll have to come out sometime...

Huh?

What're you doing?

You want a handout?

No chance, monk!

What do you think you are, a toll gate?

Are you Song Qang-De of the Qing Bang?

Yeah, that's me.

You want an autograph?

Not on your life!

Hear that, brothers?

Looks like I'm a celebrity!

N-no way...

Hokuto Sokaken Goshamonto! Goshamonto = The Five Forked Gates

We have come from He-bei to bury the Qing Bang!

G-Goshamonto...

Goshamonto?

Yeah.

It looks like...

Song used all his strength to warn us, by writing this with his own blood.

GOSHAMONTO

There's no doubt about it.

It's a sect of Hokuto Sokaken known as...

Goshamonto.

In military terms, they would be the equivalent of special forces.

Since they've showed up, does that mean...

Zhang Tai-Yan is...

getting ready to reclaim Shanghai?

If he is... Then this will be...

the beginning of the final showdown with the Hong Hua Hui!

I'll take revenge...

for your sister.

Pan!

By the way...

where's Ken?

Oh.

I'm pretty sure he was with Zi-Ying after he left Mr. Kitaoji.

Ken's at the Taohua-Zhang.

Zi-Ying!

Taohua-Zhang, eh?

Hey, isnt that a brothel?

That's no place for a child like you!

You got it all wrong!

He just asked me for directions.

That Kenshiro...

What's he doing there in his condition?

Who knows?

I presume he sometimes needs to strike a different kind of pressure point...

Did he say Taohua-Zhang?

That's where...

Yeah, I just remembered too.

That's where... another poor woman lives...

who suffered... because of Tai-Yan.

Yan-Wang!

You chose the right place to look for our superior, Tai-Yan.

But you've searched in vain!

What's this? When did monks start visiting this brothel?

Not another word, fool!

This woman belongs to Master Tai-Yan.

I am only here to guard her.

Then you'll do just fine.

You wanna tell me where Tai-Yan is?

That is not possible!

I, the First Star of Hokuto Sokaken's Goshamonto,

shall chant the prayers that will send you to Hell!

I'm in a really bad mood.

I don't feel like playing games.

Now, spill it.

Where is he?

Y-you struck my pressure points?

But...!

He'd rather die than talk.

So, who's next?

Is it my turn?

Li-Hua?

Yeah.

I'm pretty sure that's her name.

Hey hey...

What's up with this Li-Hua person?

Kids don't need to hear this!

Well...

It was something so terrible, it even shocked us gangsters.

Yeah.

It's the reason Tai-Yan came to be known as the "Bride Thief".

Bride Thief?

You're... pretty strong.

But you've got some terrible scars.

So what happened?

Did he steal your woman too?

Tai-Yan's nickname is...

The Bride Thief.

He's an animal that likes plundering women.

I'm not exactly sure...

how many women he stole and put through this Hell.

You...

You're not...

Yeah, that's right.

He stole me too.

It was on my wedding day.

What?

What?

What's the meaning of this?

I see...

you're just as good-looking as they say you are.

I'll be taking... this woman.

Hey!

You bastard!

S-son of a bitch...

How rude!

I-I'm the Jiao Chan Bank manager's son...

So you're dad's a big shot...

That doesn't mean you deserve this woman.

W-what do you want...?

I-I see!

You want money?

See?

If it's n-not enough, I can give you more later...

You know,

nothing pisses me off more than seeing an ugly guy getting to screw a pretty girl.

Don't be stupid!

If anything happens to me...

all of Shanghai's political and economic circles will come after you!

You guys are...

gonna lose your lives!

Now that sounds like fun.

But you know...

Men are born to screw pretty women!

There's no time to fear death!

Idiot.

You picked the wrong guy to threaten.

We're the bosses of Shanghai

Don't get the wrong idea, little boy

Li-Hua...

I'll...

show you all the pleasures of being a woman.

From that day on,

even here at the Taohua-Zhang,

Tai-Yan has been my only partner.

That's because...

no one in Shanghai has the courage to make a move...

on the women he's taken.

Well?

You wanna get it on,

before going to Hell?

Don't force yourself.

Your eyes...

are far too sad.

But... if you'll have me,

I'll embrace you.

You...

But first...

It looks like someone wants to play.

Tai-Yan!

Looks like...

I'm gonna have to fight a brat who covets other people's things.

Did you call me a brat?

Hey, come on.

I'll play with your Hokuto Sokaken.

Alright!

To the Taohua-Zhang! Quickly!

Yes Sir!

Colonel, this is a gangster's job.

You don't need to come along.

But..

You're the only one...

who can keep chasing that great dream of yours.

That's why Kenshiro went alone.

Pan...

What's wrong?

I said I'd play with you.

Well, come on!

Come on, come on!

Don't do it!

You'll be killed!

You don't need to be so afraid of him.

I'm much stronger...

than you think.

You're quite the man, Mr. Successor of Hokuto Shinken.

But saying you'll play with me is pretty damn funny.

Should I make you regret it?

He's right!

You can't fight him in your condition!

No.

Even if I get hurt...

There's a reason why I must fight him.

A reason?

That's right.

I was unable to protect a woman.

Now all I can do is put my life on the line to settle this!

You...

Tai-Yan!

Why did you kill Sophie with explosives!?

I was testing you.

I wouldn't want to fight someone so blinded by love and emotion that they can't tell when there's danger.

A bomb was perfect for that.

But you sniffed it out

I'll give you the honor of dying by Hokuto Sokaken.

Before that happens...

you're gonna die!

I knew I'd kill you one day.

It looks like that day has come.

Have you really fallen... for him?

This man... didn't want my body...

he wanted my heart!

He wanted to embrace my heart

He has... more right to live than you do!

Go ahead and shoot Li-Hua!

It'll be a good warm-up before I kill Yan Wang!

What's wrong?

Can't you hit me?

Bullets can't hit me.

Stop it, Li-Hua!

They say Sokaken is a hard style...

It's true essence isn't in its brute strength, but in the power of its ki

Deflecting the barrel of that gun with ki energy is child's play for him.

Playtime is now over!

You're playing with the wrong person.

You're still saying that?

Acting all confident,

just because you defeated Hokuto Sonkaken's Ling-Wang?

But he was sick all along.

You've misplaced your confidence!

What?

Now, you better let go and let the girl die.

My fist is a fusion of pure energy!

The energy surging through it will pierce your fist,

rip your filesh,

and pierce through Li-Hua breaking her bones!

He's not hitting me...

but there are holes...

How's that?

It hurts, right?

Hey, Yan-Wang.

Don't fall in love with women.

If you do, your heart will become vulnerable.

A guy like that can't survive in Shanghai!

Do you really plan on fighting me while protecting Li-Hua?

It's just right for a handicap.

Now listen up you idiot.

Hokuto no Ken doesn't allow the killing of women.

I will always love women.

And I will survive!

You're naive.

You're so naive.

Women...

are just for satisfaction!

You're quite good.

What a waste.

If you would let go of my arm, I could do what I like to that woman.

It seems like your brain is in your pelvis.

Where else would it be!?

Why?

Why am I not getting hurt?

A-amazing!

These two...

are unbelievable!

You're quite something!

You did a good job of dodging my fist.

Same goes for you.

But... You really should abandon your false pride.

Blood!

There's so much...

See?

How unsightly.

This isn't even a scratch.

Are you chicken or something?

You're quite persistent.

Don't act so tough.

I hear you messed up my men for a woman called Yu-Ling,

and then came all the way back to Shanghai to avenge her death.

That's how I live

Got a problem with it?

You're such a fool.

But... that's what makes you so amusing!

Li-Hua!

Make sure you treat him well.

If I beat up a dying wounded guy,

my fist would cry.

What?

I'll let you live...

for now.

Are you alright?

Yeah.

You're the kind of man...

who makes women cry.

That Yan-Wang...

What's going on?

Looks like I've been hurt.

Ouch!

Shit...

He's strong...

Stay on your guard!

Tai-Yan may be in there!

Yes Sir!

Ken!

Are you safe?

Kenshiro!

Shh...

I told you, kids shouldn't...

Quiet.

Let's keep this a secret from Yu-ling.

Y-yeah.

Hokuto no Ken doesn't allow the killing of women.

I will always love women.
