Fist of the North Star (1995 film)
Back in the current time, a lone man wanders from settlement to settlement seeking out the Crossmen. He soon finds them after a group attack the homestead that gave him shelter for the night, and we see that this is actually Kenshiro, still alive. Having killed the attackers at the homestead, he continues on towards the city where he meets orphan Bat and his sister. The settlement is frequently raided by the Crossmen, so Kenshiro soon finds himself defending Bat and the other villagers from Shin's henchmen. When Shin himself hears about Kenshiro's fighting style, he continues sending henchmen to capture or kill the mysterious man, only later discovering that it is in fact Kenshiro. As the people begin revolting against the Crossmen, Kenshiro finally meets with Lord Shin in his throne room, resulting in a final showdown between the two.
