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!

SEARCH ORDER FROM SATAN
FIND THE MAN WITH THE SEVEN SCARS!
Behold, Yuria.
The shining city of Southern Cross belongs to you.
Every blade of grass and tree in it is yours.
Shin, you don't understand anything.
What I want is gentleness like the sea.
Eyes that shine like a green meadow.
A heart that's warm like the sun.
Yuria!
Yuria, why won't you open your heart to me?
Lord King.
Kenshiro still lives.
He was sighted by someone in the desert.
Damn his persistence! But he'll never make it here.
Kenshiro, look and see what...
I have wrought upon the land while you were wandering in hell!
With a single word from me, thousands of mighty men will attack you!
Your body will turn to dust in the desert...
and your soul will wander in darkness!
Just watch, Kenshiro. See my power!
H- Hey! Look at that!
It's a city! What's it doing here?
I don't get it. It's a tiny little city, but it's really lively!
An oasis.
An oasis?
They must have a source of water here.
People naturally gather where there's water.
I get you. And where people get together...
they'll start to use it as a place to swap food and information.
People can start acting civilized again in a place like that.
I hope that's the case here...
Hide! They're here! Hide!
What's going on?
God's Army! It's God's Army!
God's Army?
I think we'd better get out of here.
Look out!
Thank you. Oh, thank you!
You saved my life. Thank you.
Who were they?
God's Army. They claim to be the army of God.
Army of God?
Yeah, some army of God!
They said they'd protect our town, but all they do is steal food!
Attack our women. They take anything they want to here!
Doesn't anyone stand up to them?
We can't. Anyone who opposes them can't survive in this town.
There's no way we can beat them.
So, force rules this town, too.
But, there's got to be lots of ways to get food in a town like this!
Just leave this to me.
From now on, I'll be Ken's manager.
Pops, you still not gonna let me eat for free even after I do this?
All right, a food-making opportunity right now.
Hey, we can get rid of the man mountain for you.
It'll only cost three-day's worth of food.
Three days? Are you kidding?
I don't have that much extra food.
Oh, really? Well, guess you're in for a lot more trouble.
Not too bright, are you?
This giant's gonna eat way more than three-day's worth of food.
Hold it! Two days! How about two-day's worth?
Going for the hard bargain, huh? Fine, we'll take it.
Hey, Colossus! Did you hear me?
If you don't want to get beat up, you'd better get lost right now!
I kept quiet to see how far you'd go.
Let's see what you've got, you little punk!
I'll beat you to a pulp!
You don't think I'D fight you, do you?
THIS is who you're gonna be fighting!
Hey, Ken! This is our first job!
Take this guy out fast!
Who the hell are you?
If you don't wanna end up pounded flat, stay outta this!
Is that any way for a man who wants a free meal to talk?
The way things are now, with arms like mine...
food just comes to me naturally!
I can smash a guy like you away with one punch!
Is that all?
Is that all the brute strength you have?
North Star Iron Muscle-Severing Kick!
That didn't hurt! It didn't even tickle!
Do you think that could really stop...?
My arms!
Now, Ken! Finish him!
I have no strength!
You'll have to work honestly for a living now.
I left you just enough strength for that.
Two-day's provisions, please.
You keep it in a vault like that?
Of course! I can't have it out in the open like in the old days.
Here.
That's it?
It's too much as it is.
Miser. Bet you stole it from somewhere, too!
So what if I did? Stolen or not, food is still food.
Man, you've got an easy job.
Look, I've even got booze.
Wanna trade that food I gave you for this?
Well, thanks for patrolling today.
You seem to be doing as well as ever.
Oh, no. Not really.
I'm here for this month's share!
Y- Yes, sir!
- Not enough! - It's all I have...
We could smash this place anytime we wanted to!
This is the best whiskey in the world.
Maybe this will balance what I owe...?
Sure thing. And call me anytime you have any trouble.
Peru!
- You're horrible! - Lin!
You're strangers here. Where did you wander in from?
I see. You're the guy who saved the old woman before.
How intriguing. You want to stand against God's Army?
Hey, come on! Take it outside!
Okay, vagrant. Follow me!
We'll teach you to fear God's Army!
A waste of time. You hyenas could never stand against Hokuto Shinken.
How dare you!
Wh- What the...?
Neck-Twisting, Face-Breaking Punch!
C- Captain!
Yay! You did it! Yay!
Wh- What? He beat God's Army?
Without breaking a sweat! I wish you coulda seen it!
Enough, Bat.
You people are nuts! Do you know who those guys are?
They're former Red Berets, survivors of the army special forces!
Red Berets! You mean...!
They say a Red Beret can kill 500 guerrillas single handed.
Each one was trained with special techniques to be a killer.
Kill one and they'll kill ten in retaliation.
That's how they do things.
Besides that, they all believe that they're the chosen of God!
God's Army is the army of God! Only the chosen may join us!
Together with God, we will build a new nation!
If you wish to be chosen, you must endure God's training!
Don't rest! Keep at your training!
Risk your life to bring down your opponent!
Once you've brought him down, kill him without mercy!
I give up!
Kill him.
Kill him!
But, he's my younger brother.
Being brothers doesn't matter. God only chooses the strong.
Their leader is superhuman. He uses a weird martial art, too.
What did he call it...? Oh, yeah. The Nanto technique.
The Fist of the South Star?
Kenshiro, your martial arts cannot defeat my Nanto Seiken
Of course! It must be Shin!
No. Hokuto Shinken can only be passed onto one successor...
but Nanto Seiken has many schools.
And Shin doesn't use superpowers.
Major, something's happened to the captain of the guard.
What happened?
A- A man who knows martial arts...
A martial artist?
Colonel!
Was this the martial artist?
Y- Yes, sir! This man!
This is a search order from God!
He is Kenshiro, the man with seven scars on his chest...
and successor to the knowledge of Hokuto Shinken
Kill him!
Leave this to me, Colonel.
Well, Man with Seven Scars...
you shall know the terror of God's Army.
They're coming!
We can't let them rule us anymore! We'll protect our town ourselves!
Listen! They're fighting professional soldiers.
They won't be easy targets, but if we combine our strength...
we can defeat them. Fight to your last breath!
Who's there?
Sheep are sheep!
You may have weapons, but you don't know how to use them!
Show them how to use weapons, men!
It's a rebellion! Our friends have risen!
They're attacking God's Army!
They've what?
There are still some people with courage left in this town!
The idiots! They're going up against professional killers!
That pile of bodies is only going to get bigger.
Hey, Ken! Where are you going?
Well, what are you waiting for? Come and get us!
L- Let's go!
I have no use for sheep! Come out, Hokuto Man!
Here I am, soldiers of the false god.
I admire your courage...
seeing how you came out here yourself to be killed!
You are the ones who will die!
It's been a while since I've fought a man with spirit like you!
And I'm the last man you'll ever meet before you go to hell!
This isn't an ordinary whip I have.
Its cut is far sharper than a knife's.
Come and get me!
The moment you charge, I'll slice your body in two!
Well, what's wrong? Come and get me!
North Star Muscle Control Spin Kick!
Im- Impossible! How could he be so fast?
I— I can't move!
So, how does it feel as you approach your execution?
What?
Muscle Control Spin Kick...
is one of the secret techniques of Hokuto Shinken.
I've upset your body's workings so I can make you do what I want.
Wha- What the...? What are you...?
I just pressed Meiken, one of your body's hidden power points.
Your arms will keep moving apart until you strangle yourself.
You belong in hell.
W-W-Wait!
I don't want to die! Help me!
These are terrible times...
The evil agents of God's Army know no bounds!
Sergeant Madd attacks Kenshiro with his blood-knives!
Next Fist of the North Star:
VILLAINS!
SHALL WE HAVE A COUNTDOWN TO YOUR DEATH?
Villains!
Shall We Have a Countdown to Your Death?
You're already dead!
