## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You’re a wanderer in the deadlands when you cross paths with Freedom Village’s diggers and their tanker truck. Then Sanga’s men torch the site and kidnap Tobi. Kenshiro steps in just as the feud over water turns lethal. The Hokuto fist’s approach arrives like a sandstorm. The 2003 anime filters every punch through a sun-bleached lens.

**Mood tags**: outsider, raw
