Fist of the North Star, Vol. 16 by Buronson is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs, where 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 this post-apocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of an 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, with death being the only release.

While Hyo fights to save Rin from an army of Asuras, Kenshiro’s battle with Kaioh for the fate of the Hokuto Soke bloodline reaches its climax. Long ago, Kaioh abandoned his love for his brother Raoh, but why? The answer lies in the demon lord’s tragic childhood. Kaioh may be too far gone to care, but Kenshiro isn’t about to give up the fight. A story begun 2,000 years ago at the birth of Hokuto Shinken is about to come to a bloody conclusion!
