Synopsis
In the year 199X the world was engulfed in nuclear flames. The oceans had dried up and the Earth had been scorched. It was as though all life forms were annihilated. However, only humanity struggled to survive. With nearly all civilization destroyed by nuclear war the world had become an era of chaos, ruled by violence and fear. In this post-apocalyptic world the Hokuto and Nanto schools of martial arts are at battle over control of the dominion. Kenshiro is the successor of the Hokuto school, while Shin is the successor of the Nanto school. After Shin has stolen Kenshiro's girlfriend Yuria, Kenshiro travels out into the wastelands to rescue her as the battle over the dominion continues.
