Hokuto No Ken The Grandfather that began Supernatural Martial Arts themed ANime. This series doesn't get enough credit for the children it has set the blueprint for.
Fist of the North Star is my favorite manga/anime. The world of Fist of the North Star is a very complex and fleshed out one with unique and interesting characters. Thank you for your awesome work in showing it in such a great light!
Yeah, the series pretty damn good until that Gento arc(the one Falco came from), which was kinda just okay, like a decent fanfic. Then that Asura arc was like a godawful fanfic.
I've watched the entire HnK TV series through 2 or 3 times and it never gets old. They did a great job mixing numerous direct rips from other cultures and making it somehow so much their own. Probably the #1 fault of the series in terms of story is the ability of Hokuto Shinken to save the moment like trilithium or some form of cosmic radiation always saves the day in Star Trek. But, obviously, that's not a plot device unique to HnK. Overall though, I freakin' love this series, and it has one of the most badass English titles ever. Fist of the North Star. Damn.
After having read the manga for the third time this year, i've been meaning to do something along the lines of making either a series of essays or overly analytical posts about the franchise. I see I may have been beaten to the punch. This is an amazing set of retrospectives. There's a surprising amount of depth in the Fist of the North Star series. And to be perfectly honest, I think the tale it tells is as relevant as ever.
Thanks for the comments. You read them all THREE times? Damn, you must read a hell of a lot faster than me. My first trip through the world was slow and plodding because I read them in the original Japanese. And I agree with you that they are as relevant as ever. Thanks again
Man I gotta give it ya. I love this due culture similarity as I am Chinese. For a westerner to have this level of understanding, u have truly mastered the ancient art.
Much appreciated Roo. It did take a long time and a lot of digging but it was well worth it. One of these days though, I truly need to get serious about the study of Chinese history. Are you a fan of the Dao Deh Ching? It is one of the central books for me of philosophy.
Akira Kamiya is a legend. Kenshiro and Ryo is like Ace Ventura and the Mask. They are played by the same actor. Jim Carrey played by Ace and Stanley Ipkiss/ The Mask too.
After my second day playing fist of the North Star lost paradise, I wanted to see what the story was. So thank you for this video which based off of the length, I’m sure will go into detail about the story, characters, etc.
Definitely suggest watching the series or reading the manga if you can, also. There's a certain sense of wonder you get from watching it; it's incredibly over the top, but it has some really heart-wrenching stuff as well. Even the latter half of the manga and anime which has a timeskip is filled with some great stuff.
This is a fantastic and well structured and scripted retrospective that helped me remember quite a few things I’d forgotten over the years. Will definitely be watching the other parts!
I love the aesthetics of 70s/80s animation, few modern anime live up to earlier standards, I presume this is due to the hand drawn nature of earlier anime. Any recs for weird n violent old anime ? Or worthy modern anime? ( Dorohedoro was the most recent thing I really enjoyed)
Sorry for late reply. If you like FOTNS, then you'd probably like SAKIGAKE OTOKO JUKU because it has a lot of the same cast and animators etc. My personal favorite is Record of Lodoss War.
Man I stumbled on this retrospective by accident and what a treat, you did a fantastic job of explaining everything and it was so on point that people doing this kind of videos should take notes well done my man!
40:51 Ummm, Mr. Heart was actually voiced by Shōzō Iizuka, who's better known as the voice of Nappa in _Dragon Ball Z_ (though Takiguchi did actually voice Mr. Heart in the 1986 feature-length film adaptation).
TBH, Lin and Kenshiro's "special bond" didn't feel like a special bond, it's basically the anime's way of reminding the viewers that Lin has a liking for Kenshiro
Souther is one of my favorite examples of the Sympathetic Monster kid of character. On the flip side, Louise from Familiar of Zero is someone who I wish had her head exploded by Kenshiro.
An Amazing Retrospective dude :) FOTNS is one of my all time favourite anime/manga series, and I think you have covered just about everything so far, i look forward to the following parts.
Thanks Critterbusters. Once you get through with part 4, take a look at the vlog Fist of the North Star Vlog 1, " F--- you, Juuza!" and leave a comment if you would be so kind, I am trying to collect some fan feedback that I can use in upcoming videos. Thanks again
Christopher Washington Did you get the regular sized manga version or the larger tankobon? I prefer the larger because it was a little easier to read and you only have to buy 12 to get the whole series.
I'm totally subscribed and watching this whole retrospective I loved it! Could you do a video where you examine the Animation and Character Designs? I always felt like the attention to detail in Fist of the North Star was a lost art. Especially in the 1986 movie, even though the movie repeats so many events from the series it's still beautiful. Hope you don't hate that film lol!
Hey CloakandDagger77, thanks for the comments and I'm glad you appreciated it. I am still going to roll on with the series and finish it, but if you saw all my vlogs and such you might know it probably will take a long time. Hopefully the wait isn't such a drag but it is what it is. Looking forward to hearing what you think about the other parts. And yes, the attention to detail and general look of the characters would be a nice point to expound on in the last part (part 8).
I hadn’t heard of Fist of the North Star until the PS4 game Lost Paradise launched. I kinda though it was gonna be a lot like Dynasty Warriors games. Which would been fine but, I passed it up. Then I found out it’s actually essentially a lot like a Yakuza game made by the same studio that makes Yakuza. Started playing it and I’m so glad I bought it. I love how it’s essentially like as if Mad Max and Yakuza had a baby and just so the top and batshit insane it is. Highly recommend it.
9:42 and that's what Hokuto (北斗) actually translates to: "Big Dipper", not "North Star" 10:18 and that's what Nanto (南斗) translates to: "South Dipper", not "South Star"
@@snkeveryday6240 At this time I feel DC has been crushing Marvel in the comics in the past 10 years. Especially after Disney got Marvel. I like one more than the other at different points
with the amount of praise and popularity three of the four hokuto brothers have. I wonder if any one likes jagi though i dought it oh well...it such a shame hes often off of many radars since hes so secluded in shadows i guess .
+Wak Royds Well believe it or not, he is Buronson's favorite character. Stay tuned because I should have part 6 up in about a week or so and then I will do vlog #2 where I will talk about it some more and maybe show that video. Thanks for watching!
I know we seen some of their backstories but I'd love to see a series of Fist Of The North Star set before the world became a nuclear wasteland and to see how Ken and Shin grew up and how he met Yuria. I also have a question does anyone else think that maybe due to atomic radiation is the reason that their powers are so amplified that it makes them capable of accomplishing feats such as cutting someone in half with their finger or making someone's head explode just by punching them.
Man cracked a diamond in his finger, C'mon Son take note....broke it 2 a thousand pieces in his finger, that pure carbon a real diamond 4 crying out loud!
Without the awe inspiring story of Fist of the North star...Shown Jump wouldn't be the same....Dragon Ball could be vastly different...there wouldn't be a lot of Tough manga characters.... HELLthere wouldn't be any Jostar clan...or DIO for that matter!
What the hell is going on with Raoh's skin colour? When he's a kid it's light, as a teen it's definetly brown, and as an adult it fluctuates from light brown to really dark. Is it radiation that mutated his skin when the nuclear war started?
very well done retrospective!! i'll say this. the concept of Hokuto No Ken (Fist of the North Star) is cool. But the original series does NOT translate well for American audiences. It was meant for a japanese audience. I feel the 1986 compilation re-telling movie version is the better cooler version of the story. the tv series plays like a Rated R dragonball Z that at times is convoluted and unitentionally funny/goofy due to its absurdity. for example the convulted story of Ken and his brothers, In the Ken / Shin rematch episode. Yuria is watching the battle and Shin seemingly murders her - then Ken realizes that its a not Yuria but a Mannqeuinn ?? Again. goofy & weird. Then Shin reveals that Yuria had died after commiting suicide. Then near the end of the series Yuria is revealed to be alive as a martal arts master king?? its just a weird series. In the film version she plays the damsel in distress that men fight over. simple. I feel the best versions of Hokuto No Ken story are (The 1986 animated film) and live action version from the '90s starring Gary Daniels and the recent PS4 role playing fighting game known as 'Lost Paradise' - the original series is just too weird but i respect it as the original. but i tried to watch the original series just as a fan. and guess what i laughed and then i feel asleep from boredom. good video though. thanks for doing this.
I recently read the new Manga and am now just watching the original anime and videogame clips. I really enjoy this story about revenge, redemption and brotherhood. I grew up watching anime but never saw this one on TV nor bootleg. It has some nuances of street fighter, which is spooky. It also reminds me of Akira in that Ken and his creators are warring with each other. Bottomline ive seen alot of animes and this one js epic, timeless and classic. One Piece creators definitely stole some of the character stylings from it. Peace and love. ✌️♥ 💥👊💨
@27:19 That scene with the non-violent villager is also more a commentary on the morality of Pacifism. Pacifism can only work if both opposing forces are committed to the ideal of pacifism. The immorality is in choosing non-violence in the face face of violence, and it’s inability to protect others from violent threats. Thus pacifism costs more lives than it saves. Pacifism is a willingness to sacrifice the life of the individual or group in the pursuit of upholding an ideal rather than actually doing the right thing and protect other and preventing injury or death.
When the writers pen name is a tribute to Charles Bronson, you know his series is going to be full of 80s masculinity. 💪🏻
How am I just finding this I love Fist of the North Star. Kenshiro is badass.
That he is John G, that he is.
Shout out to raoh’s horse for being able to carry him across the wasteland
And then Kenshiro afterwards.
Koku-oh (the horse)is one of the baddest dudes in the whole show
Best anime for me, the music score just sets it apart from everything, people only see the memes but the actual story of love and longing is just amazing
BTW Raoh and Toki are my favorite characters
Both amazing characters, especially Raoh.
Fist of the North Star not A story but THE story about a man- No, a legend who travels the land and blows people up by just touching them.
This video series about HnK is probably the best on CZcams!
High praise indeed coming from Kenshiro himself!! Glad you like it!
The GOAT of Shonen anime.

The first movie is still the best. Wish the other adaptions were made the same way. Raoh looked a lot better in the first movie.
I LOVE this anime/manga.
I swear this is gonna get the JoJos treatment. A new incredibly successful anime dub and I'll be able to brag saying *I was there before the dub!*
JoJo didn't have a completed anime before. And it's gonna be tough topping this classic.

@27:19 That scene with the non-violent villager is also more a commentary on the morality of Pacifism. Pacifism can only work if both opposing forces are committed to the ideal of pacifism. The immorality is in choosing non-violence in the face face of violence, and it’s inability to protect others from violent threats. Thus pacifism costs more lives than it saves. Pacifism is a willingness to sacrifice the life of the individual or group in the pursuit of upholding an ideal rather than actually doing the right thing and protect other and preventing injury or death.
32:48 exactly what I think, specifically with girls
