[Introduction]
In the year 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...
However... humanity was not 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, this wish is trampled upon by violence.
In this world, only power rules, and the weak are trampled upon.
At the brink of such despair, one man appears.
He is Kenshiro, the successor of the legendary assassination fist, "Hokuto Shinken," and has seven scars on his chest.
He wanders the wilderness in pursuit of his nemesis, Shin, who stole his fiancée, Yuria.
Responding to the cries of the oppressed, we 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 massacres swirled.
With his fists, Kenshiro will cut through this crazy world where even people's prayers go unheard!
