==Plot Summary==
{{Spoiler|Fist of the North Star}}
===Beginning=== <!-- break this down, too long -->
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 {{W|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.<ref>''Fist of the North Star'' Chapter 1</ref>

===First Encounter with Raoh===
Following Toki release from capture, Rei rushes back to the village as it is being attacked by Kenoh's Army. Rei attempts to take of Kenoh by himself, but is fatally struck just as Kenshiro arrives. Thus begins to four-way fight between Ken, Toki, Mamiya against Kenshiro. Rei, revealed to still be alive, has only three days left to live, want to make the most of his final days.

In an attempt to heal the fatally injured Rei, Mamiya deparets to Medicine City, a land where livesaving medicine is allegedly stored. There she is met with the dogmaster Galf, who values the lives of his pets above people's. She attempts to take him on and is saved by Kenshiro, who takes the medication back to Rei.

It is here that Mamiya's backstory is revealed. On her twnetieth birthday, she was kinaped by a man named Yuda who was obbsessed with beauty. Abusing her and many other womam, Mamiya was able to escape back to her hometown. Rei, knowing Yuda as an old rival of his, seeks him out to finally kill him in his final days. Yuda, now a follower of Kenoh after the nuclear war, becomes aware of Rei's hunt for him. Evading his approach, Yuda goes to Mamiya's village where he floods it and makes their efforts in vain. Ken and Rei rush back to fight him for real as Rei and Mamiya admit their love for each other. Rei passes away the next day.

===The Holy Emperor===
Kenshiro sets out for a new villain, Souther, who has dubbed himself a holy emperor and is using mass child labor to construct a giant pyramid. A foe that even Kenoh fears, Ken runs into Shu and his son Shiba, a past aqunatince of his who gave up his own eyes so that Kenshiro could continue practicing ''Hokuto Shinken''. Shu is now the leader of a resistance that opposes Souther's reign.

Kenshiro tries to take on Souther, but he appears to be immune to Ken's ''Hokuto''-based attack. Shiba rescues Ken at the cost of his life and returns to Shu, where he now tries to take on the emperor. Shu, also failing to fight Souther, is now ensalaved and is forced to complete Souther's mausoleum by putting the capstone in place. Shu is crushed by the weight of the stone just as Ken arrives to try and save him. Enraged Ken fights Souther one last time, with Toki and even Raoh present to witness it. Finding out Souther's secret of having ''{{W|situs inversus}}'', where his organs, and therefore pressure points are reversed, he is finally able to kill him and free all the enslaved children.

Souther's death sets up a battle between Toki and Raoh, who reveal each other to be biological brothers and how they came to be adopted by Ryuken who taught them Hokuto Shinken. {{Expand section}}

Raoh leaves where his subordinate Ryuga the asks to take on Kenshiro. This leads to multiple battles between the two, the last of which involves him holding Toki hostage. Ryuga confirms himself to be Yuria's biological brother, and therefore Kenshiro's brother-in-law.{{Expand section}}

===The Final Battle===
Following the deaths of Ryuga and Toki, a new faction to stop Raoh appears: the ''Nanto Goshasei'', an elite team of Nanto Seiken practioners loyal to the Last Nanto General. Each member goes after Raoh, but every fight ultimately results in their deaths. Finding out that the Last Nanto General is Yuria, he takes the woman from Kenshiro before the two are able to reunite. 

Raoh returns to his base where he discovers that Yuria is fatally ill. He appears to kill Yuria out of rage, pity, and to begin the final fated fight against his brother Kenshrio. Following a furious fight witnessed by Bat and Rin, Raoh reveals that Yuria still lives. Lifting his fist up, he exhausts himself of his ''{{W|qi}}'', delcaring that he has no regrets in his life. As his soul asends to heaven, light is restored to Japan once more.

==''Fist of the North Star 2''==
Taking place approximately ten years after the events of the original story, Rin and Bat are now adults who have formed the Hokuto Army to protect those who are still persecuted in Kenshiro's abscene.

In this new era, a force known as the Imperial Army led by Jako and his sons have created a city of light where electricity is generated. However, this energy is created through cruel manual labor in a generator that kidnapped and tortured men are forced to work. Bat and Rin unexpectedly reunite with Kenshiro, who informs them that Yuria has since passed away since he saw them last. They, along with a bounty hunter, Ein, go after Jako and his forces, notably Falco, a strong man who uses a martial art known as Gento Koken.

In reality, Falco is being blackmailed into working for Jako. After a series of long battles, Falco is safe and works with Kenshiro to free the Celestial Empress, who happens to be Rin's long lost sister.

===To the Land of Shuras===
As Jako is killed, his son Sheeno takes Rin hostage. He takes her across the {{W|South China Sea}}, know known as the 'Sea of Death' to the Land of Shuras, which was once known as {{W|China}}. It is now a savage land ruled by three generals known as ''Rasho''. Kenshiro and Falco follow in, meeting the pirate Akashachi along the way, a man who was once loyal to Kenoh, who lost his son Shachi to the Land of Shuras and hopes to reunite with him one day.

Landing on the mainland, Kenshiro and Falco are immediatly met with an assassin without a name. He reveals how the Land of Shura works, with warriors not being given names until they've slain one hundred other fighters, claming that the two will be his next victims. Their battle results in Falco's death, with Ken swearing he'll avenge him and save Rin.

Meanwhile, the kidnapped Rin witnesses a battle where the winner will get to wed her. She is saved by a myterious man who reveals his name is Shachi, the lost son of Akashachi. He takes her to Kenshiro where the two team up to take on the ruling caste of the land, the ''Rasho''.
