The
Story
This anime is about the story of a now grown-up and scarred
Kenshiro (who never used his surname and always had his
given name spelled in kana) who swears to protect the
helpless populace of a post-apocalypse world populated from
the wild gangs of bikers and bandits who prey on them.
After Kenshiro's old friend Shin stole his girlfriend and
left him for dead, he's left to wander the wasteland where
he meets the young, innocent Lyn and the not-so-innocent
Batt. Together they meet a wide range of friends and
foes(but mostly foes) on their never-ending journey.
Its style of dramatic, shocking, and literally explosive
battle sequences caused much heated arguments over its
content. Human bodies are chopped, exploded, diced, and
smashed in fist to fist battles as though they had been
struck with highly destructive objects. As Kenshiro blasts
his opponents, he makes sounds similar to those of Bruce
Lee's animalistic wails.
