Action Director
A film adaptation of the Holy Emperor story arc, which primarily depicted the conflict between Kenshiro and Souther.

The other side of the story is the retelling of Ken's attempt to save and protect the villagers from Souther's army with the help of Shū. There is also a small subplot of Bart returning to his home.
