This deadly fighting style allows him to kill his opponents by striking their secret vital points, often leading to gruesome deaths.Kenshiro’s journey begins when he seeks to live peacefully but is drawn into conflict after being separated from his fiancée Yuria by a jealous rival. He dedicates himself to defending those who cannot protect themselves against the many threats that arise in this chaotic world. Throughout his adventures, he encounters various allies and enemies, including his childhood friends Bat and Lin, as well as formidable foes such as his brother-in-training Raoh.As the story progresses through two distinct arcs—one focusing on Kenshiro’s battles against various gangs and warlords, and another involving a tyrannical empire led by a usurper—the narrative explores themes of justice, sacrifice, and redemption.
