In the initial installment of the new five-part Hokuto no Ken series, Kenshiro inherits the deadly martial art Hokuto Shinken, capable of terminating foes instantly by targeting their vital points. This prestigious skill can only be bestowed upon a single individual, leading Kenshiro to part ways with his siblings, Toki and Raoh. While Toki harnesses the art for healing purposes, Raoh opts to enforce global harmony through sheer might. Joined by Lynn and Bart, Kenshiro's journey unfolds as a tyrannical ruler begins abducting children to construct a pyramid using them as slaves.
