Shrouded in legend, a figure dubbed "the King of Death" prowls the alleys of pre‑war Shanghai in this high‑octane prequel to Fist of the North Star.
In the 1930s, Shanghai was a perilous metropolis. International powers and Chinese warlords had partitioned the city into distinct districts, each governed by its own rules and rife with graft. As global forces struggled for dominance, the streets fell under the rule of local gangs. Survival was cheap and mortality ever present.
Long ago a lone warrior stalked these grim streets, confronting the forces of darkness. He was called Yan Wang, "the King of Death." Few understood his true identity, yet many recognized him as a master of Hokuto Shinken—a deadly martial art. He vanished years earlier after eliminating the city"s most notorious gangsters, and whispers say he now resides in Japan. Numerous seekers have journeyed to Japan in hopes of finding him—who will succeed first?
