With Shin (The Star of Martyrdom), Yuda (The Star of Betrayal) and Rei (The Star of Justice) now dead, only three of the Six Sacred Fists of the Nanto Seiken remain. Kenshiro leaves Lin and Bat with Mamiya and sets off alone to find the remaining ones. He arrives at a town and finds the people being mistreated by the troops of a man named Souther. Souther has proclaimed himself the "Holy Emperor", seeking to conquer the world by the century's end and using innocent children to build a pyramid-shaped mausoleum as a sign of his greatness.
