Hokuto no Ken, Volume 3

Synopsis Led by Taki, Bat's young protege, Kenshiro arrives at a village where an old woman raises many orphaned children. She is digging a well in this waterless village. But Taki, who only wanted to give her something to drink, steals water from the neighboring village and is killed. A child's life lost for a sip of water... Kenshiro's fist then breaks through the rock and water fills the village. The peace is short-lived: after his departure, the village is attacked by Jackal's band of raiders and the old woman is killed. Kenshiro returns and, in his fury, annihilates Jackal's gang.
Author's preface
What I love about cinema is the thrilling atmosphere, the kind that makes your heart race. This is all the more true when I watch a movie with lots of special effects, poetic elements, dreams... it fascinates me.
When I create a manga, personally, I try to reproduce those same feelings. I believe that Fist of the North Star can become a movie theater for everyone.
