|---|
In a post-apocalyptic Earth, the water has become entirely toxic, except for some kept safe in a reservoir. A fortified zone has been created by a dictator named Sanga, he calls it The Lastland. A group of villagers have discovered safe water, and Sanga wants it. He and his band of soldiers go to kill everyone and steal it. As they do a mysterious man appears out of nowhere, instantly killing some of Sanga's men. His name is Kenshiro, and he can beat any man with his martial art, Hokuto Shin Ken, a very ancient technique that allows to destroy an enemy by making his body explode from the inside. Sanga will do anything for the water, and Kenshiro will do anything to try and stop him.
