In the wasteland of the post-apocalyptic earth, the polluted water has turned entirely toxic, except for some supply kept safe in a reservoir.

A band of roving thugs led by ruthless Sanga has created a fortified zone, calling it the Lastland, and has taken over control of what's left of civilization. Needless to say, they have seized all the safe water from the people who guarded it. Furthermore, Sanga's greed knows no bound, and he has become a self appointed god by kidnapping Sarah, a woman with the power to heal wounds with her fingertip, and Doha, a man who generates water using his fists.

Meanwhile, a group of villagers has found a new source of safe water, but because of that they have become the latest victims of Sanga's bloodthirst. The massacre of the villagers by Sanga's men continue when a mysterious fighter materializes right in front of them. His name is Kenshiro, and he is an enlightened martial artist and a one man army who can tear down power-hungry Sanga's dominion of the land and the falsehood of his deity once and for all.

· nudityNudity is the state of wearing no clothing and exposing the bare skin or intimate parts. NO FRONTAL NUDITY (visible genitals) = 1.5 STARS OR LESS. Especially gratuitous fanservice shows tend to show their characters frequently without any clothes, though often hiding genitals through the means of additions like steam. *+
· violenceViolence is the use of physical force against oneself or another entity, compelling action against one`s will on pain of being hurt. ***
· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. ***
· · fightingFor some reason or other one faction has to take it out on some opponent via fight or battle. Typical examples of this are all the anime with "endless pointless fighting" tag. weightless
· · martial artsVarious sports or skills, mainly of Japanese origin, that originated as forms of self-defense or attack, such as judo, karate, and kendo. ***
· angstA feeling of general discomfort and uneasiness is present due to either trivial or more serious reasons, often accompanied by depression. Warning: may contain copious amounts of brooding and sighing. Etymology: "Angst" is a German word meaning fear or anxiety. *
· super powerBe it an ancient Greek Heracles, a cybernetic muscle-man, or a fourteen year-old girl in a mini-skirted sailor suit. As long as they have super powers, they`re in the show. **
· tragedyTragedy is a form of drama characterized by seriousness and dignity, usually involving a conflict between a character and some higher power, such as the law, the gods, fate, or society. *
· tropesA trope is a commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works.
· · visible auraCharacters are surrounded by a visible energy field usually representing inner strength, but not restricted to only that. weightless
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. Manga, comics, or visual novels do not fit this description and are not considered novels; including a small number of illustrations, however, is still permissible, which means that light novels are considered novels. weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · EarthThe Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is a ball of hot mud, but on the surface it`s cold enough, so most of us live on it (or are supposed to). To its inhabitants, our planet is their home, so, as a species, we cherish it to the point many cultures even to this day deify it. The Earth is the main setting of most fiction, but many titles are set in other places, such as unrelated fantasy worlds, and in a considerable number of fictional titles the Earth is actually destroyed by invaders. ***
· deathDeath is the state of no longer being alive or the process of ceasing to be alive.
· · delayed deathThe Final Battle has begun. The two opponents square off, and one of them hits the other with a series of mighty blows that would fell a mountain. But what`s this? Nothing seems to be happening! That`s when your opponent tells you that You Are Already Dead, right before your head explodes, your body separates in two, or you disintegrate into a fine mist. If you`re unlucky, only one of those happens. Sometimes, you may also discover that you were Made of Explodium. weightless
· disasterA disaster is a large-scale situation that causes great loss of or damage or threat to life, health, property, society, or the environment, irrespective of its source or cause. Disasters have substantial, long-lasting negative repercussions, and great effort must be spent in order to undo or mitigate their effects.
· · post-apocalypticAfter a major cataclysm has occurred. World War III, an alien invasion, plague, global warming or some other general disaster are common themes to build a post-apocalyptic world upon, where the effects were severe enough that mankind barely survived. ***
post-credits sceneA little bit of the story is found after the credit titles. A little bonus for those patient enough! This applies regardless of if the credits play over an ED sequence, or over the "regular episode" that continues to air into the credits. A sequence at the end of an episode, showing what will happen in the next episode, is NOT a post-credits scene; that is a preview. 1 eps applies to episode(s): 3

clothingClothing is fiber and textile material worn on the body.

boots (1)Boots are heavy-duty work shoes that are often made of leather and have thick rubber soles. They are usually found stomping on things: floors, people, etc. Generally, typical boots can be as short as angle height (ankle boots), and as long as the mid point of the lower leg (crew length boots).

Sweatbands are often made by continuously looping a long string of fabric or by folding a wide one, as is sometimes done with bandanas. They are also commonly tied with a knot behind the head, and may include a tail. For a similar band worn over the top of the head primarily to maintain a hair style, see hairband.

large breasts (1)Large breasts are breasts a fair notch larger than average, as found in some real life adolescent girls or fully grown women. They are bigger than medium breasts and smaller than huge breasts. Note: This tag has many anime/character entries that need to be moved to the new medium and huge breasts tags. Please add the appropriate tag and remove this one from the corresponding anime/character afterwards.

looksThe looks are a person`s physical appearance. They are commonly used to describe people. Specific parts of one`s looks are most often referred to when especially pleasing or attractive, and sometimes also when particularly jarring.
