Description
In the original classic manga set in a postapocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs, a hero appears to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior named Ken holds the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken-the Divine Fist of the North Star!
In a postapocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of all-out nuclear war to a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Warlords and gangs of savage marauders rule the broken ruins of civilisation, terrorising and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence and death the only release.
Kenshiro has at last found Yuria, the woman he loved but had given up for dead. Determined to possess her as well, Raoh has also reached Yuria's stronghold. Kenshiro and Raoh's paths were always destined to lead them to this confrontation, the final battle to decide the successor to Hokuto Shinken. In this fight, both men will unleash the greatest secret technique passed down to them by their master, but only one will survive using it!
