WW3 has come & gone. The world lay ravaged, raped by mankind & its wars. Humanity must battle & survive the attacks of the mutated & horrid outlaws of the "new" world. One man armed with only a fighting man's knowledge that even puts "kebono-oko" or "kame-senin" to shame beyond belief. Hokuto Shin Ken [North Dipper Godfist]a powerful ancient age old (2000 yr) martial art passed only from father to son(s). The hero of this tale drenched in blood & honor, is Kenshirou Kasumi the 64th successor to Hokuto Shin Ken. In this tale the kind hearted Ken & his love Yulia were attacked by his former friend Shin of the opposite style of Nanto Sei Ken [South Dipper Sacred Fist] who is hell bent on taking the lovely girl. Yulia is stolen by Shin & Ken is left with seven scars in the shape of the Big Dipper on his chest. Ken's sole goal is to defeate Shin, but finds this adventure leads down a winding path to the death of his friends, family conflict, more & more death, & the loss of his true love. This anime has much social context & then some worth checking out especially if you are a fan of fighting series. Though this isnt DBZ/GT it is a good & to me a better series sticking to the point & what the show was about Ken, the soveriegn Fist of the North Star & how a man's yearn for love will take him to hell & back. "Give the devil my regards"-Kenshirou
