Hokuto no Ken 5: Tenma Ryuusei-den Ai Zesshou is a role-playing video game produced by Toei Animation released on July 10, 1992 for the Super Famicom in Japan. It is the third and final RPG produced by Toei based on the Hokuto no Ken franchise, following Hokuto no Ken 3 and Hokuto no Ken 4, both for the Family Computer. Hokuto no Ken 5 features an original storyline, written once again by Hiroshi Toda with plot supervision by Buronson, set in an alternate universe from the original work's canon where a new hero must unite the warriors of the Hokuto, Nanto, and Gento schools to defeat a common enemy. In the early 21st century, the Makōtei has descended! The Heavens were once again split into two. There are two devas, the Makōtei and the Tentei... In a time two thousand and hundreds of years ago, the world was ruled by the clan of the Makōtei, spreading their misery around the nations of world through their reign of evil. But in one generation, in order to oppose the tyranny of their next heir, a group of high priests raised his younger brother to be the Tentei, granting him the power to fight the Makōtei clan. From that point, an age of conflict began between the Makōtei and Tentei, setting rightfulness against heresy. A wedding ceremony was taking place in a church. As the young couple were vowing their love for each other, the Imperial Army of the Makōtei suddenly attacked, taking the bride with them. The young man has now began a journey to rescue his fiancee. The Makōtei's army's attacks were extremely severe. The martial arts sworn to protect the Tentei, namely the ones from the Hokuto, Nanto, and Gento schools, attacked with nothing but raging fire. In various places around the world, the violent conflicts unfoled between the Makōtei's army and the masters of these arts such as Rei of Nanto Suichō Ken, Falco of Gento Kō Ken, Toki, and Fudoh. The world was in turmoil, as it become governed by pain and misery. Time has been waiting for the revival of the Tenteiken, the only martial art capable of defeating the Makōtei. Only Kenshiro, the greatest master of Hokuto Shinken, holds the key. In a turbulent time filled with sorrow, a group of passionate men bear the scars of their emotions, as they now challenge the Makōtei to a final battle.
