Synopsis "Fist of the North Star, Vol. 18"

In the original classic manga set in a postapocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs, a hero appears to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior named Ken holds the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken--the Divine Fist of the North Star! In a postapocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of all-out nuclear war to a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Warlords and gangs of savage marauders rule the broken ruins of civilization, terrorizing and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence and death the only release. Kenshiro faces the fanatic Emperor Balan, a man torn by lost love and his hatred for the gods, in an all-out battle to prove the divinity of Hokuto Shinken. Then, Kenshiro embarks on a last quest to find Rin and Bat. When Kenshiro loses his memory, Bat must fight for both Kenshiro and Rin against an old enemy determined to destroy them all! Get ready for the bone-crushing, face-smashing finale of Fist of the North Star!
