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.
