Jeff is distracted by a group of poor children who beg him for money and a pretty, young flower girl as part of an attempt on his life by four attackers, one of whom succeeds in stabbing him. He is then confronted by his old rival [[Geese Howard]], and dies of his wounds. In front of his grave, Tung makes the boys promise that in ten years they will reunite as much stronger men to punish Geese. Ten years later, Terry returns to Southtown. Geese learns of his return from his right hand man, [[Billy Kane]] while Terry has a drink in a bar he owns. Along the way, Terry meets Lily McGuire, the beautiful Queen of South Town in a night club and later talking to some poor children and giving them food and money. He recognizes her as the flower girl who helped Geese murder his father, but does not hold it up against her. Afterwards, he meets [[Joe Higashi]], a champion [[Muay Thai]] kickboxer and a longtime friend and rival of his brother Andy. Joe is in Southtown to enter the King of Fighters Tournament, and Terry befriends him upon learning that he is his brother's friend. Terry is then reacquainted with Andy and Tung. Tung tells them of a technique called the Hurricane Punch that only he knows, which he will teach to only one of them. Terry decides that both he and Andy should enter the King of Fighters tournament and should one of them be the victor, Tung will teach him the technique. When Geese learns that the brothers are entering the tournament, he sets a trap for them. He has Lily deliver poisoned champagne to Terry before his fight, but she fails because of her feelings towards him, as he is the only one who has seen her true self and might redeem her of her former sins. Terry defeats his opponent, [[Richard Meyer]], and makes it to the final fight with his brother Andy. As the fight starts, Joe notices a man who tries assassinate the Bogards and takes the bullet intended for them. With the help of Lily, the three escape the Tournament, but at the cost of Lily's life at Geese's hands. Tung himself is seriously injured by Billy Kane and hospitalized in a coma. Andy, angered by Tung's injuries, sets off to Geese's lair with Joe. Tung is able to emerge from his coma and teach Terry the Hurricane Punch, but the effort of demonstrating it kills him. Andy and Joe battle their way to confront Geese, but neither are strong enough to defeat him. After Terry arrives and sees Andy defeated, he attacks Geese using his new technique, Senpuken, which barely has an effect. He absorbs more energy and ends up with a new technique, the Hurricane Kick, which defeats Geese. Later, Terry, Andy and Joe meet up at Jeff Bogard's grave before going their separate ways. == Characters == ;[[Terry Bogard]] :{{anime voices|Kazukiyo Nishikiori|Mark Hildreth}} ;[[Andy Bogard]] :{{anime voices|Keiichi Nanba|Peter Wilds}} ;[[Joe Higashi]] :{{anime voices|Masaaki Satake|Jason Gray-Stanford}} ==External links== *[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=822 Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf at the Anime News Network] {{Fatal Fury anime}} [[Category:Anime OVAs]] [[Category:Martial arts anime and manga]] [[Category:Films based on video games]] [[Category:Viz Media anime]] [[ja:バトルファイターズ 餓狼伝説]] [[pt:Battle Fighters: Garou Densetsu]]
