Synopsis
Riki-Oh uncovers his tragic past while fighting in a nuclear town controlled by zealots.
Child of Destruction continues the saga of Riki-Oh, delving deeper into the mysterious past of its protagonist. The story explores Riki's origins through fragmented memories of his childhood, hinting at a tragic separation from his family and the haunting echoes of a lost connection. Marked by a distinctive six-pointed star on his hand, Riki finds himself drawn to the desolate town of Misaki, a place shrouded in secrecy and danger. This grim settlement, powered by clandestine nuclear facilities, falls under the iron grip of a zealous military faction known as "God's Judgment." Captured upon arrival, Riki is thrust into brutal gladiatorial combat within a vast arena, where survival becomes his only goal. As he navigates this hostile environment, the specter of a long-lost brother looms large, promising both answers and new conflicts. The sequel escalates the visceral action and intensity, with Riki facing increasingly formidable opponents in his quest for truth and freedom.
Child of Destruction is the sequel to the RIKI-OH OVA Wall of Hell. Child of Destruction tells us more of Riki's past, as we flash back to his childhood to learn the terrible fate of his mother and how he himself was taken away from his twin brother Nachi during a game of hide-and-seek, with Nachi's plaintive cry of "Are you ready yet?" haunting him through the years. Riki has a six-pointed star emblazoned on his hand, while Nachi has a swastika on his, the significance of which go unexplained. Riki finds himself in the town of Misaki, dotted with illegal nuclear power plants and run by a religious fanatic military organization called "God's Judgment." He is taken prisoner and made to fight in gladiatorial matches in a sprawling arena. He finds his brother, whose special powers have given him the name of "Savior," but his reunion with his resentful sibling turns sour rather quickly. Part 2 is much gorier than Part 1, with Riki smashing his fists into numerous soldier opponents with far less restraint. (Source: IMDb)
