Action · Animation · Drama

Much has been written about the legendary Fist of the North Star. Yet before Ken claimed that title, there was another master, one of four adopted brothers trained in the art of the Divine Fist. This is the story of Raoh, Ken’s elder brother, who claimed the title King Of The Fist and set forth to conquer the brutal world of the post-apocalypse. Unlike Ken, however, Raoh was no hero. Instead, his journey is one of savagery and conquest, for Raoh, the only purpose of other men is to serve his will and witness the Legends of the Dark King!
