Bat spots Lin in a truck full of captive villagers being taken to the town of Dorado; while in Dorado, Kenshiro encounters two of the remaining Four Jacks who are torturing their captives; Ken kills both of them and saves Lin.

Kenshiro learns that the other prisoners transported with Lin are being held in a separate prison camp; Ken manages to break the imprisoned villagers free, but they're all killed in an ambush led by Mr. Heart, the last of the Four Jacks.

In a flashback, Kenshiro remembers how, a year ago, Shin defeated him in combat, engraved the seven scars on his chest and took his fiancée Yuria, who went with Shin to save Ken's life.

Kenshiro, Bat and Lin arrive at an oasis city under the surveillance of God's Army, a fanatical military group; Ken has a bounty placed on his head after he kills one of the group's security officers in a fight.

God's Army conducts a manhunt for Kenshiro; when the search team starts executing innocent bystanders at random to lure him out, Ken allows himself to be captured in order to infiltrate their training facility.

Kenshiro penetrates the headquarters of God's Army and confronts their leader, The Colonel, who is a deluded follower of Shin that has mastered the art of Nanto Muonken.
