Fist of the Blue Sky
Souten no Ken
Shanghai in the 1930s is basically lawless. The foreign powers and Chinese gangs have all carved up the city into separate territories, each running their own show and drowning in corruption. While the major players fight over political control, the streets belong to whoever's willing to use violence. It's the kind of place where life means nothing. Years back, a guy called Yan Wang—the "King of Death"—cleaned up those streets. Nobody knew much about him, but word was he knew Hokuto Shinken, the Fist of the North Star, a devastating martial art that could kill with precision. After he took down the worst of the gangsters, he vanished. These days, rumors say he's somewhere in Japan. This is the prequel to Fist of the North Star, and it follows the people searching for him. The question is: who'll track him down first?
