Child of Destruction continues the story from the RIKI-OH OVA Wall of Hell. This part delves into Riki's background, showing flashbacks to his childhood that reveal the tragic end of his mother and how he was separated from his twin brother Nachi during a game of hide-and-seek, with Nachi's desperate call of "Are you ready yet?" echoing in Riki's mind for years. Riki bears a six-pointed star mark on his hand, while Nachi has a swastika on his; the meaning behind these symbols is never clarified. Riki ends up in the town of Misaki, which is filled with illegal nuclear power plants and controlled by a religious extremist military faction known as "God's Judgment." Captured, he is forced to compete in gladiator fights inside a huge arena. He locates his brother, whose unique abilities have earned him the title "Savior," but their reunion quickly turns hostile due to Nachi's bitterness. This second installment is far bloodier than the first, with Riki punching through numerous enemy soldiers with much less reluctance.
