Plot Summary
Beginning
In the year 199X, a nuclear war left the world devastated by drying up most of the land, but humanity managed to survive. Kenshiro, a wandering martial artist, is left exhausted in a wasteland searching for water and longing to see his fiancée Yuria again. Upon stumbling into a seemingly abandoned village, he is captured and accused of being a member of a gang called Zeed, a group of thugs who terroize the area, and is thrown in jail alongside an orphan named Bat. There he meets Lin, a mute girl whose family was killed by bandits. After receiving food and a cup of water from her, Ken restores her ability to speak and the village's elder comes to determine if Ken is a member of Zeed or not.
As the prison guards remove Ken's clothes to find the tattoo proving he is a member of Zeed, the village elder sees seven scars on his chest in the shape of the Big Dipper, symbolizing forthcoming danger. Just then, the Zeed gang begins attacking the villages and Lin is captured. Ken and Bat escape their cell to go help fight. Claiming to snap Lin's neck if he gets any closer, the leader of the gang carries her above his head to get the other villagers to back off. Kenshiro arrives and effortlessly kills three of the gang members in a single kick, intimidating all the other members. He then attacks the gang leader, causing him to drop Rin and fall over. Ken catches Lin and when Zeed gets back up, he tells Kenshiro that his attacks "feel like mosquito bites". However, Kenshiro exclaims that he is "already dead" and Zeed violently implodes and dies.
The village elder narrates that long ago in China, a martial art called "Hokuto Shinken" was created and that Kenshiro is the sole successor. Bat then realizes that if he sticks with Ken, he would be able to have as much food as he wants. Thus, the two journey into the wastelands together.[1]
