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)

This is an extremely crappy Ova with one of the worst, nonsensical plots I have seen out of all the trash retro Ovas out there. In between the poorly elaborated apocalyptic plans of the bad guys coming out of nowhere, Riki's brother going from 'don't kill muh brother; ANGERY' to 'Imma destroy all of Japan' within 10 minutes and Riki Oh getting mortally wounded only to fight as if nothing had happened in the very next scene, this anime is like Evangelion in how it chucks in random religious symbols in the hopes that the viewer would over interpret it as a sign of 'intelligence'. However,even Evangelion manages to have a somewhat coherent plot, Riki Oh's is just shit flinging that hopes it sticks. Of course any genre savy viewer knows that you don't watch this sort of garbage for characters, plot or anything that you know, makes an anime good. You watch it for the hilariously cheesy gorefests. In this regard, Riki Oh truly delivers; at least for the first half. Disappointingly, the gore in the first 15 minute so completely overshadows anything else that happens later. Art is more akin to a mid 80s Tv show than a 1990s production. It is rather crappy for its time and is absolute garbage by today's standards. Similarily the music is more akin to mid 80s Nwobhm/ heavy metal. Not a good thing in this case as it is cheesy even for its time and is absolute garbage by Nwobhm standards. Overall, the only reason you should watch this super trashy Ova is for the gore in the first half, if the gore were better paced and spread out in the anime, there is no doubt that some of these scenes would attain the notoriety on the level of such classics as Angel Cop.

The story was a continuation of the first OVA. WHen i first watched it i thought it would be enjoyable but when it goes the the part where Riki's brother gone berserk it went all poor. The fight scene with his brother was also really short. The story doesn't make any sense either. How did Riki get his streignth? Is he a martial artist or just gifted? And the ending was also probaly a cliffhanger. The art looked like a deformed JoJo drawing, but the fight scene was pretty decent. But in fact that's the mistake, if the character was too overpowered then the story has to begood
