In this volume Kenshiro struggles to meet up with his brother Toki, one of 4 who trained in Hokuto Shinken. I thought in general it was well executed. You kinda have to suspend disbelief at some minor things like Toki somehow surving radiation for so long, or a functional prison existing in a dystopian setting. But one plot element I’m not a fan of is the Shichosei star. Predestined events kinda ruin the surprise a little. I hope its not used too much in the future. The content in the volume has good pacing and does not feel like filler compared to some others.
