Fist of the North Star, Vol. 8 ventures into a postapocalyptic wasteland where society is under the oppressive rule of savage gangs. Amidst this chaos, a hero emerges to bring justice to the guilty. This warrior, Ken, is the custodian of a lethal martial art known as Hokuto Shinken— the Divine Fist of the North Star!

In this devastated world, humanity rises from the ashes of a nuclear catastrophe to a new reality of relentless suffering. Chaos reigns as warlords and marauding gangs command the shattered remnants of civilisation, inflicting terror and enslavement upon the survivors. Life has become a harsh battle for survival, with death as the only escape.

Kenshiro faces off against Holy Emperor Souther, the most powerful of the Six Holy Fists of the South Star. Victory over him will pave the way for a destined showdown between Raoh and Toki—a dramatic clash of motion versus stillness, and ferocity versus serenity—where neither master concedes an inch. As Shichosei, the star that heralds death, casts its ominous glow, Toki prepares to unleash what might be his final strike.
