Ep. 1: The Cries of the Soul

1

In the year 199X, the world was ravaged by nuclear fire, and humanity seemed doomed to extinction. Yet people survived, fighting bitterly over the last remnants of water and food. In this age ruled by violence, a lone man staggers across the wasteland, barely clinging to life. Seeking water, he enters a village, only to be captured by its vigilantes. When the village elder examines him, he discovers seven scars carved into the man’s chest. (Source: Hokuto-Anime Official Website)
