Fist of the North Star: The Movie
It is the near future, where the world has been ravaged by a nuclear war and civilization is defined only by survival. Kenshiro is betrayed by Shin, who takes his girlfriend Yuria as his possession, and left for dead by his treacherous brother Jagi, while his elder brother Raoh kills their master Ryuken on his quest to conquer the lands. One year later, upon hearing the silent cries of Lin, Kenshiro reemerges from the shadows to exact his revenge on Jagi and Shin, and battle Raoh to claim his rightful title of Fist of the North Star.
