In the wasteland left by nuclear war, Kenshiro searches for Yuria, the woman he loved before she was taken by Shin, a former ally of the Hokuto Shinken school turned warlord. Marked by the seven scars across his chest, Kenshiro cuts through Shin's fighters and crosses paths with his own estranged brother Raoh along the way, each step bringing him closer to a reckoning with the man who took Yuria from him. This 1986 film condenses the manga's opening arc into a single feature: Shin's betrayal, Jagi's scheming, and Kenshiro's first clash with Raoh.
