[Introduction]
In 199X, the world was engulfed in nuclear flames.!!
The sea dried up, the earth split open, and all life seemed to have been wiped out...
But... humanity wasn't wiped out...!!

On the land of this devastated world, people clung to hope and desperately tried to survive in search of water and food.
However, that wish is trampled upon by violence.
In this world, only power rules, and the weak are simply trampled upon.

At the brink of such despair, one man appears.
He is Kenshiro, the inheritor of the legendary assassination fist "Hokuto Shinken", with seven scars on his chest.
He wanders the wilderness in pursuit of his nemesis, Shin, who stole his fiancée, Yuria.
We respond to the cries of the oppressed and light the light of hope.

Standing before him are strong men who have survived the turbulent times at the end of the century, and who have their ambitions and desires exposed.
At the end of the century, plunder and murder swirled.
With his fists, Kenshiro will cut through this mad world where even people's prayers go unheard!
