Kenshiro and his companions arrive in a village after agreeing to protect it in exchange for taking care of the children. Thanks to its abundant spring water, the village thrives and its crops flourish, to the point that flowers bloom there. As Kenshiro gazes upon this peaceful landscape, a woman appears before him: Mamiya, whose resemblance to Yuria, his lost love, is striking. Meanwhile, outside the village, a man so beautiful he could be mistaken for a woman roams the wastelands in search of the man with seven scars on his chest…
