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!

SING FOR ME: VILLAINS!
THE COUNTING RHYME OF HELL!
Okay, that's it for the free show, but the real fun's about to start!
Everyone who wants to see more...
just give me any food you can spare.
Hey!
All right! Encore!
Just one person...?
Okay, fine! Gotta please the customer!
How do you like this? And this?
Cool!
Snakes!
So, you're tryin' to do some business...
in our territory, huh, kid?
Who are you guys? I'm free to do what I want!
You've got guts to try and stand up to us Snakes.
Ken!
W- Wait!
J- Just hold on a second!
Huh? What's up, Sela?
This guy's a friend of mine. Just let it slide today, okay?
Here, I'll give you one each today.
If I get any more good fruit, I'll give it to you. Okay?
Okay, sure.
Thanks! But why did you help me?
Well, I wanted to hear your harmonica playing.
Besides, you've also got the cute girl over there with you!
That one over there is my house.
Come on in and visit, guys!
Nothing in here, though.
Really... There's nothing at all.
You're a straight talker, aren't you?
Still, it's got a GREAT view.
Here.
What have we got here...
What's that? Jeez! There's bodies all over the place!
Looks like they killed more of each other today.
The Snakes and the Scorpions...
are two gangs that just don't get along.
The biker gangs kept getting bigger and bigger...
and now each group's got half the city fighting the other half.
What's that building that looks like a church?
That's the Snakes' hideout.
The Snakes control the east side and the Scorpions control the west.
That market we were in before is dead in the middle.
Take a look.
What's that?
It's the Snakes' well.
It's the only one in the eastern half.
Everyone has to exchange a day's worth of crops for a cup of water.
What's wrong?
I didn't... I didn't get anything...
Please! Water... Give me water!
If you don't have anything, you can't get any!
Just give me a little! Just give me a drop!
Shut up!
It's a lousy world we live in, huh?
Nowadays, if you don't have muscles...
you need to survive by using your head.
Y- Yeah! You and I think alike!
Ken...
So, Junk the Snake... You're still alive.
Yeah. Snakes are tenacious animals.
I won't die till I've choked the life out of you, Baron.
Is that all you wanted to tell me?
You called us all the way out here for that? Ridiculous...!
What? Didn't you call US out here?
Get real! It's not like I like seeing your dirty face!
Then who called us out here?
I was the one who called you out here!
It's been a long time, Junk, Baron.
M- Mr. Joker! What can we do for you?
The man with seven scars has appeared in this city.
Th- The one who uses Hokuto Shinken
Exactly. There's no telling how powerful he is.
We've sent many masters of...
the Nanto style against him, and all have failed.
That's why I want the two of you to join forces.
- What? - With him?
The Snake and Scorpion gangs will join forces to kill that man!
You've gotta be kidding! I ain't helping this snake bastard!
If you try helping me, you'll just get in my way!
Lord King commands it!
You aren't thinking of disobeying Lord King, are you?
- I hear you... - Right.
Kill the man with seven scars!
Do that and we'll give you a city bigger than this one to control!
Find him! Find the man with seven scars!
The Scorpions'll find the man with seven scars!
What can you guys do? The Snakes'll find him!
Why, you...! You wanna fight?
Sure!
Cut it out!
We know where the man with seven scars is!
Ken!
Come out of there, Man With Seven Scars!
So, who are you who want to die so soon?
Wow!
Hokuto Shinken is unbeatable!
LOOK OUT!
Sela!
Ow... He hit me right on the head...
Sela!
Nasty guys, aren't they?
Hold on there!
I'm Baron of the Scorpion gang. I didn't come here to fight you.
How about it? Will you join me?
Help me to destroy the Snakes and we'll have this whole area.
No! Not just this place!
If you and I worked together, no one could stop us!
What do you say?
- Very well. - Ken!
Just what I'd expect from the man with seven scars.
You're a sensible guy. Get in.
I've got a major ally with me!
Now I can finally send those Snakes to hell!
Ken...
What did you say?
The man with seven scars is with the Scorpions?
Interesting... I'll take the challenge!
With the man with seven scars on our side, we have nothing to fear!
We'll get rid of the Snakes all at once!
I've been waiting for you Scorpions...
Snake!
Get 'em! Kill 'em all!
We'll skin those Snakes and turn 'em into handbags!
- Hey, it's time you joined in! - Let's wait.
They'll kill more of each other that way.
Why make my job harder than it has to be?
What?
Why, you... You never intended to help me at all, did you?
You'd have killed me, too, once I'd served my purpose, right?
Oh, well. In that case, we'll start by sending you to hell first!
Have a taste of the Nanto Windmill Slash!
Next time I'll slice your body in two!
Now, THAT was impressive, Man With Seven Scars...
You're going to be next.
Oh? You think so?
Explosive Reverse Spin Punch!
You're as tough as the rumors say you are.
But I'm not so easily beaten!
Perhaps you've heard about this...
The Nanto Jaben-Ken technique...
which can make a whip strike like a living snake!
Y- You were able to see the whip...?
It may have seemed like many whips, but there was still only one.
Against Hokuto Shinken, it was no more than a child's jump rope.
I'm sorry! I never had anything against you!
Hey, why don't the two of us join forces and take over this town?
Y- You could even be the boss!
Come on, it's not a bad deal, is it?
You were a fool not to finish me off!
W- We'll divide things 60/40! No! 70/30! 80/20! 90/10!
Hell, you can have everything if you want!
Well? Good deal, huh? Huh?
Go to hell.
What the...? Lemme go!
Y- You let ME go!
I used the Hokuto Soukin Jizai Ken.
I hit hidden power points on both of you.
Your arms will keep squeezing each other tighter and tighter.
You make a lovely couple.
Not good enough! What are you doing out there?
Y- Yes, sir..!
I won't allow him to enter this city!
Gather the army at once!
We'll put together all our forces and then kill him!
I want him buried in the deepest pit of hell!
Y- Yes, sir!
Yuria... What I want most is your heart.
And to do that, I swear...
I swear that Kenshiro...
will die!
Bye, Sela. Take care.
You're leaving already? Can't you just stay behind?
I can get enough food for the two of us.
Why, that dirty...!
Hey, Lin! We're going!
Goodbye.
Here's a farewell gift! Lin! Take this!
Goodbye, Lin!
Lin!
As the showdown with our hero's arch rival Shin fast approaches,
General Barba leads his great army to Southern Cross!
Next Fist of the North Star:
Battle Makes a Man!
The Gates of Confrontation Have Been Opened!
BATTLE MAKES A MAN!
THE GATES OF CONFRONTATION HAVE BEEN OPENED!
You're already dead!
