The first installment of the new Hokuto no Ken pentalogy, comprising three feature films and two OVAs, follows Kenshiro, the newly appointed heir of the legendary Hokuto Shinken martial art, which can kill an opponent with a single strike to pressure points. The art may be passed to only one successor at a time, and after being chosen, Kenshiro parting ways with his brothers, Toki and Raoh. Toki uses his knowledge of the style to heal people, while Raoh embraces his immense power to impose peace by force. Joined by Lynn and Bart, Kenshiro’s story begins when an overlord kidnaps children to enslave them for the construction of his pyramid.
