But their hopes are trampled underfoot by violence.
In this world, only power rules, and the weak are simply trampled on.At the brink of such despair, one man appears.
He is Kenshiro, the successor to the legendary assassination fist "Hokuto Shinken" with seven scars on his chest.
Wandering the wilderness in pursuit of his nemesis Shin, who stole his fiancée Yuria, he answers the cries of the oppressed and lights a light of hope.Standing before him are the strong men who survived the turbulent times of the century's end, and who have their ambitions and desires exposed.
In this end of the century, a time of plunder and slaughter,
Kenshiro will use his fists to carve out a path through this mad world where even people's prayers go unheeded!
