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!

And lost sight of tomorrow

BATTLE MAKES A MAN!
THE GATES OF CONFRONTATION HAVE BEEN OPENED!
Well done!
Thank you, men!
The time to prove your strength has finally come!
As you already know, Kenshiro, the master of Hokuto Shinken...
Generalissimo
BARCOM
with seven scars on his chest, has returned.
Of all people, he is after Lord King!
We must not allow anyone to oppose us!
We must send this Hokuto man Kenshiro to hell!
But we must not underestimate this man's power!
We have already sent several...
powerful practitioners of Nanto Seiken after him!
But he managed to defeat all of them!
The first one he faced was Zeed's gang!
KEN!
Stay back!
She... She talked! Lin talked! Who the hell is that guy?
Let that girl go now.
Was it you? You killed my men?
For that, I'll twist this kid apart!
The Hundred Crack Fist of the North Star!
And then there was our ally, Spade!
Why, you... You can't mess with me!
What's wrong? Is that the best you can do?
The North Star Fist of Lingering Regret!
My thumbs are now embedded in Toui...
one of your body's 708 hidden power points.
You will die seven seconds after I remove them.
No...
You can use those seven seconds to think about your sins!
W- Wait!
No! I don't wanna die now!
I don't wanna—!
And then came Club...
Five Finger Explosive Burst!
His Hokuto Shinken technique is to concentrate all of...
his energy and then strike any of...
the 708 hidden power points on a human body...
causing it to explode from within. He is the technique's only inheritor!
Even Heart, the so-called...
"martial-artist killer" was no match for him.
WhaWhat the hell?
My body is like rubber.
It cushions me from any attack.
So, no matter what silly martial arts attacks you try...
before you can reach a power point...
you'll end up like this.
Only Lord King's Nanto Seiken style can defeat me.
Nanto Seiken?
A man who practices Nanto Seiken. So, it IS him.
The Fist of the North Star is invincible!
IT HURTS!
It's useless.
I'll say it again! The Fist of the North Star is invincible!
My stomach!
The North Star Death by Soft Strikes!
I pressed one of your hidden power points.
You are already dead.
Even the telepathic boss of God's Army, the colonel...
There will be no light for you tomorrow!
The Bone Breaking Punch of the North Star!
You are already dead.
Why? With your power, you can have anything!
Do whatever you want! You could be God himself!
And yet you...!
You'll... You'll regret this!
And then, Devil Reverse, the personification of Satan...
who was sentenced to 500 years in prison...
along with Jackal, the leader of the gang of outlaws...
called the Warriors, were defeated.
That's right! Crush him!
The North Star Seven Star Points of Death!
Devil...
Thanks to my using the breathing technique...
I've struck seven of his hidden power points with all my strength.
Death is his only fate now.
According to him, a normal person...
can only use 30% of their body's potential strength.
The secret of Hokuto Shinken is tapping the other 70%.
But now it's over for him! Once we rise to fight him...
there will be no sanctuary on Earth for Hokuto Shinken
There are two stars in the heavens: the North Star and the South Star.
But the killing arts don't NEED two stars!
The one that will light this world shall be my Nanto Seiken
The man with seven scars...?
Could he have something to do with Lady Yuria?
What are you doing?
Uh, n- nothing!
Lady Yuria, I brought you a change of clothes.
Thank you, Saki...
It sounds like there's a lot of excitement in the main hall.
Yes. It's full of very scary people...
and they're planning something.
Yeah... Something about killing a man with seven scars.
A man with seven scars?
Then, you know the man with seven scars?
Ken...
Who is he? This... "Ken" person.
Kenshiro... My fiance.
Someone more dear to me than life itself.
Shin!
Might makes right!
Isn't this a wonderful time to live in?
The strong can do what they want...
and take what they want!
What are you doing, Shin?
I'm of the North Star school, and you're of the South Star!
We may practice different styles, but we trained together, didn't we?
I've always loved Yuria.
What are you saying? I'd sooner die than hear that!
I like you more and more.
I love a woman who's as strong- willed as she is beautiful.
Ken, I'm taking Yuria!
Don't be stupid! She's the most important thing in my life!
Then I'll have to take her by force! Out of my way!
Stop it, Shin!
Have you forgotten the teachings of our dead master?
The Fist of the North Star and the Fist of the South Star...
are two sides of the same art and must never fight!
They must work together to pass on the art to the next generation!
All that nonsense the old man used to say...
I've already forgotten!
What did you just do?
So, that finally got a rise out of you.
I'm taking Yuria!
Are you out of your mind, Shin?
You are no match for me!
Hell's Death Fist of the South Star!
Flying Defensive Fist of the North Star!
Ken!
There's no way you could possibly defeat me.
There's a very definite difference between you and me.
Ambition. Obsession.
Ambition is what gives you power, and you have no ambition.
I'll be taking Yuria now.
I— I won't let you have her!
Ken!
All right, pick him up.
Ken!
Yuria, say that you love me.
Oh, you won't, huh?
This is a Nanto Seiken method of execution.
An ordinary man couldn't take even one thrust of my finger.
How many can Ken take before he dies?
Stop it!
If Ken dies, I'll die too!
You're the only one who can stop this execution.
You need to say only one word.
I'm not forcing you. What do you say, Yuria?
The only person I love is Kenshiro!
Shin... If you're going to kill me, just get it over with!
Very well. I'll kill you.
Yuria, live! For my sake, live!
Ken...
I've never liked how you've lived your life.
Now die!
Wait!
Yuria, don't do it!
I... I'll love you...
I can't hear you!
Do you really think you can move my heart like that?
Ken!
Well, what about it? Yuria!
I'll love you, Shin... I...
I'LL LOVE YOU, SHIN! I'll follow you forever!
Did you hear that, Kenshiro?
The woman who said she'd rather die than be with me...
just said that she'd love me. That she'd follow me forever!
A woman's heart can be a cruel thing, don't you agree?
Now, come with me, Yuria!
- Where? - To paradise on Earth.
Ken!
Yuria...!
Ken!
Y- Yuria!
Ken!
Yuria!
YURIA!
Shin fought battle after battle, expanding his influence.
DIE!
I've won again. And the reason I keep on fighting...
is for YOU, Yuria!
Finally, Shin took the name of King for himself.
And as painful as it was to do, I had to stay with him...
Soon, Yuria... Soon I will present you with a shining city as a gift.
Everything there will belong to you!
You will be queen! Everyone will bow before you!
And then your feelings will change! I know your feelings will change!
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!
My feelings haven't changed.
As long as I made that promise to him...
Yuria, live! For my sake, live!
"No matter what happens, you must keep on living!"
Saki...
Lady Yuria... I feel so sorry for you!
Saki... Thank you...
Wow! What a sandstorm!
We'll just have to stay here for a while.
Peru, come on!
Hey, Ken... Where do you suppose Southern Cross is?
Bury Hokuto Shinken in darkness! Send Kenshiro to hell!
Kenshiro... Yuria belongs to me.
I'll never let you have her back.
Shin's terrifying army strikes!
Will Yuria's scream from the heart ever reach Kenshiro?
Next Fist of the North Star:
DEAD OR ALIVE?
BEYOND THE WASTELAND LIES THE FIRST STREET OF HELL!
Dead or Alive?
Beyond the Wasteland Lies the First Street of Hell!
You're already dead!
