In the year 199X...
The Earth was engulfed in nuclear flames.
It is a world in which no living thing seems to be left.
However, mankind hasn't died.
You're in shock!

Ken.
That man is never coming back.
You can watch a hundred sunsets and he still won't return.
He will! Ken will come back. I know he will.
Come, the sun's about to go down.
I'll wait. I wait for him here.
Bandits come out at night.
Come now.
THE DEADLY FIST OF LINGERING REGRET!
THE FUTURE IS SIGHTED IN THE BARREN DESERT!
Ken!
Stop it!
KEN!
Yuria!
Just a dream...
Yuria, where are you?
Yuria...
That's funny... Where'd he go?
Ken, when did you...? Wow, you're like a ninja!
I thought you were one of Zeed's men.
Hey, how do you like the car?
Want a lift, Ken? You've got a long way to go.
Oh, don't look so suspicious.
I know, you're thinking "he must've stole that car."
It's okay. I built it myself out of spare parts.
I may not look it, but I'm a mechanical genius.
Think of me as an Archimedes or an Edison—
- By the way, where are you going? - Nowhere special.
Just a drifter wandering around with no place to go, huh?
Anyway, my name's Bat. How do you do?
What's wrong, Ken?
I'm so hungry I could die!
Let's hurry up and get to the next village!
Come on Pops, hand it over.
Please, have mercy!
I have to get these seeds to my village!
Shut up!
Be quiet and hand it over.
When the seeds grow, we'll share the rice with you.
Please, just wait until then. I beg of you!
I went through a lot to get these seeds...
and I haven't eaten for a week!
Really? They're that valuable to you?
Then we've GOT to eat them. Right, guys?
- Yeah! - Bet they'll taste great!
Please, I'm begging you! Just let me go!
Hey, come on. It's not our fight.
This happens all the time nowadays.
The weak always get the short end of the stick.
Hey, Ken, what are you doing?
You idiot!
- Hey, scum! - Who are you?
Let the old man go!
What? Can't you see I've got a bow-gun?
Don't try it!
A bow-gun bolt is just a dead tree branch in the face of...
the lone inheritor of the killing technique of Hokuto Shinken
You cannot defeat me.
What? Hokuto Shinken, huh?
Go to hell!
I'll give you one more chance! Aim well!
If you miss, you'll lose your right eye.
Shut up!
Hokuto Shinken Two-Fingered Vacuum Grab!
Hey, are you okay?
The seeds... They took the rice seeds!
Rice seeds?
Ken! Don't get mixed up in this anymore!
Those were King's men!
King?
Yeah! They're a gang of total lunatics who control this area!
We're in trouble!
You said you're a break-in artist, didn't you?
Yeah, I'm pretty much the next Arsene Lupin!
Whatever I go after, I get!
Then go steal back that rice seed.
HUH? Are you kidding? We're talking about King, here!
Nothing but talk. Old man, wait here.
For- Forgive me...
- I'll go with you. - Just go away!
If I make Ken mad at me, there goes my meal ticket!
Hey, Ken!
Just leave getting those seeds to me!
You need to rest—
Shut up!
I still have one eye!
I won't forgive him! To hell with his Hokuto stuff!
I want to join the King gang.
I brought this car as a present to your boss.
It's the world's only hand-made specialty car!
Check it out!
This is pretty cool!
- What is that thing? - It's a pretty crazy little car.
What's this?
Hey! That mouse'll make a good meal!
Hey, come back!
- Hey, little con man! - Wh- What?
What were you doing in there?
Uh, walking! I was just taking a walk.
Oh, a walk, huh? Don't screw with us, kid.
Hey, kid! What's with this car?
It's a pile of junk! You call this a present?
It's not that bad!
That's funny...
What's wrong, kid?
I'll show you.
I can't stop it! Help!
This should be far enough.
It actually worked! Those idiots!
Spade! The rice seed's gone!
What? That little punk!
He came to get it back! That bastard!
Why, that... He won't get away with this!
Don't just stand there! Let's kill them all!
Kill them all...
They're not following me. Yes!
That's great! The taste of rice!
I haven't had rice in ages!
Ken!
You're lucky to get all this great rice!
Ow! What was that for?
Uh-oh...
Um, you missed one.
Oh, thank you!
I appreciate this. I really do!
You okay, old man?
Why don't you just eat the rice? If you die, what's the point?
No. All the food we have will eventually run out.
But... But, with this seed...
we can harvest rice year after year.
Once we do that, we won't have to fight each other for food anymore.
The fighting will finally stop.
Tomorrow is more important than today.
Exactly. A world without fighting.
Like the old days... Like the old days...
When rice grew in the fields and flowers covered the plains.
Larks sang in the skies and the rivers were full of fish.
Half a year...
Half a year it took me to gather this much seed!
Please, take this to the village! To the village...
What are you doing? Are you...?
Let's go, old man. To your village.
If I'd known we were going to be doing this...
I'd have stayed in that jail!
At least Lin used to bring me food there!
Smoked deer meat. I saved it for a special occasion.
Two cans of water.
- Great! - Next!
Give me some water for this!
Jewels aren't worth anything anymore! You...!
Food and water are the only things worth anything now.
I have rice.
If I ride in this, I can go a long way.
Maybe even to where Ken is. I miss him. Ken!
A car's coming.
Old man Smith's in it! Smith's back!
Just you wait... Just you wait!
I'll kill you all!
Rice seed! Rice seed!
You've saved the village!
We'll never have to worry about food again!
Thanks for everything, Smith!
It's all thanks to you! Thank you! Thank you!
Smith, you must be exhausted. Go and get some rest!
Looks like we'll get a big reward for this!
- Start the car. - Why?
We haven't gotten anything from them yet.
It won't kill them to give us a couple bowls of rice!
I'm not moving.
Do you hear that? A baby's crying.
Brats cry all the time.
Because their mothers can't make milk.
Everyone here is starving.
All right, already.
Those are...!
Hey, Ken! It's Spade!
Oh, hell!
Just leave this!
Old man!
So, he came.
For the future...
The future... The future...
I'll send you to hell, too!
You! You came back! I'm done for.
But please! I want these seeds to grow!
I beg of you!
Shut up, old man!
Scum like you don't deserve to live in this world!
Darn it, what does Ken think he's doing?
He's really gone and done it!
You've walked into a trap! Fool!
We've got you!
So, how's it feel to be totally helpless?
I told you before, you can't kill me!
You wanna see which one of us is stronger?
People normally only use 30% of their potential strength.
The secret of Hokuto Shinken is tapping the other 70%!
It... It's impossible!
Mountain Splitting Wave!
Why, you... You can't mess with me!
What's wrong? Was that your best shot?
The North Star Fist of Lingering Regret!
I've poked Toui, one of your body's 708 hidden power points.
You will die 7 seconds after I remove my thumbs.
No...
You can use those 7 seconds to think about your sins!
W- Wait!
No! I don't wanna die now!
I don't ... wanna—!
Ken, where are you? I know we'll meet again.
Hey, what are you doing?
If we don't move it, more of that gang will come here looking for us!
King's people aren't just some simple, little gang!
If you think Spade was their leader, you're totally wrong!
Ken!
Hmpf! There's no way those seeds'll ever grow there!
They'll grow.
Because the old man sleeps beneath here.
An evil army forces the people of Dorado city to work as slaves.
To save the captive Lin, Kenshiro's fists roar!
Next Fist of the North Star:
In a City Without Light a Lone Fist Burns!
IN A CITY WITHOUT LIGHT: A LONE FIST BURNS!
THE FURIOUS DEATH BY FIVE EXPLODING FINGERS!
The Furious Death by Five Exploding Fingers!
You're already dead!
