Hokuto Shinken
However, Lin is taken captive by the remnant of Jakoh's forces and is sent off to the mysterious Kingdom of Shura, a brutal land of warriors ruled by three overlords who have all mastered the ways of "Hokuto Ryūken", a martial art which branched off from the same clan alongside "Hokuto Shinken" into the ways of darkness. Kaioh, the head of the three overlords, plans to conquer the post-apocalyptic world in the name of evil by wiping out the followers of "Hokuto Shinken". Kenshiro uncovers the sealed testament of the "Hokuto Shinken" founder, Shuken, which holds the secret to overcoming Kaioh's ultimate technique. Kenshiro emerges victorious over Kaioh and rescues Lin, leaving her under Bat's care. During the final chapters, Kenshiro goes on a journey with Raoh's orphaned son Ryu, in order to lead him on the path to become the next "Hokuto Shinken" successor, encountering and battling various opponents along the way, before returning to Bat and Lin to protect them from a past enemy.
