Description

A mysterious man, also called the “King of Death”, roams pre-war Shanghai in this action-packed prequel to “Fist of the North Star”.

Shanghai in 1930; a very dangerous place. Foreign governments and Chinese factions divided the city into many neighbourhoods and everywhere has its own law, and everything is run by corrupt people. While the major powers are involved in political power struggles, the streets are left to the resident gangs. Life is worth nothing, and death awaits everywhere.

In days gone by, there was a man who fought against these evil forces. The man was known only as Yan Wang, the “King of Death”. Few knew him personally, but they all knew he was a master in Hokuto Shinken – “Fist of the North Star” – the deadly martial art. After driving out the worst gangsters in town, he disappeared without a trace, but rumour has it that he is back in Japan. Many people have travelled to Japan to look for him, but who will find him?
Ein mysteriöser Mann, der auch der »König des Todes« genannt wird, streift in diesem actionreichen Vorgänger von »Fist of the North Star« durch das Vorkriegs-Shanghai.

Shanghai im Jahre 1930; ein sehr gefährlicher Ort. Ausländische Regierungen und chinesische Fraktionen teilten die Stadt in viele verschiedene Viertel und überall herrscht ein eigenes Gesetz und alles wird von korrupten Leuten geführt. Während die Großmächte in politische Machtkämpfe verwickelt sind, werden die Straßen den ansässigen Banden überlassen. Das Leben ist nichts wert und überall erwartet einen der Tod.

In vergangenen Tagen gab es einen Mann, der gegen diese bösen Mächte ankämpfte. Man kannte den Mann nur als Yan Wang, den »König des Todes«. Nur wenige kannten ihn persönlich, aber sie alle wussten, dass er ein Meister in Hokuto Shinken – »Fist of the North Star« –, der tödlichen Kampfkunst, war. Nachdem er die schlimmsten Gangster der Stadt vertrieben hatte, verschwand er spurlos, aber ein Gerücht besagt, dass er sich wieder in Japan aufhält. Viele Leute sind nach Japan gereist, um ihn zu suchen, doch wer wird ihn finden?
