What happens

New Fist of the North Star (Japanese: 新・北斗の拳, Hepburn: Shin Hokuto no Ken) is a three-episode original video animation (OVA) series based on the Fist of the North Star franchise, directed by Takashi Watanabe and produced by OB Planning. The story was adapted from Jubaku no Machi (-呪縛の街-; "The Cursed City"), a 1996 Hokuto no Ken novel written by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara set sometime after the conclusion of the original manga. An English dubbed version of the OVA was produced by ADV Films in 2004. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
