This is my favorite kind of Hoktuo-kill in the series: Kenshiro strikes a pressure point that causes the victim to move against their will, forcing them into some kind of fatal situation (like falling off a dam, or a castle, or being attacked by carnivorous birds, or drowning in a bathtub, or walking into a volcano, to name 5 examples) and then, just when the victim is about to be killed, they EXPLODE ANYWAY, just for good measure.
FotNS is one of those shows where the women have balls larger than most men. Shit, even the loli's balls are huge- she'll take walking on a sheet of red-hot metal over being ruled by tyrants without a second thought.
The beauty of Fist of the North Star. When a small girl with zero fighting prowess has bigger balls than nearly every generic anime protagonist, you know your series is amazing.
Mr. Longshot OK. "Look at yourself, now to me, back to you, back to me. Sadly you're not me, but if you studied Hokuto Shinken under Ryuken you would be LIKE me. Look down, your hands have now exploded. Look up again, I've hit you in a specific combination of points. Anything is possible when you are a successor of Hokuto Shinken, walk to hell." *Whistle followed by explosion of Amiba as he falls*
to anyone wondering why his hands exploded During his fight with Kenshiro he revealed the ultimate secret of his Amiba-style Hokuto Shinken, striking his own vital points to drastically increase his muscle mass - which backfired and caused his hands to explode.
Amiba is like that guy who gets the power to turn anything he touches into a gun/explosive weapon and gets killed after discovering why he should not have touched his butt. "AAAAHHHH!!! I'VE ACCIDENTALLY TURNED MY A** INTO A HAND GRENA...." (BWAKOOOOM!!!)
The sad thing is, Amiiba really was a genius, he just let it get to his head, assumed he was better than everyone else, and because of that his genius was wasted.
LOL no, any self-proclaimed "genius" is not a real genius at all. Have you ever heard that saying 'Tell me what you presume and I'll tell you what you're missing'. Real geniuses understand their limits. Amiba was a push-over and try-harder. At least he made up for a good despicable villain.
GranMaese nah toss the easy stereotypes and boring moralism aside. He really was a genius: he held his own agaist the Hokuto Shinken succesor for a while and let Kenshiro believe he was his older brother Toki , who is a beast, without even practicing Hokuto shinken in his entire life. He alone discovered pressure points that hokuto masters couldn’t discover in 2000 years of the martial art history. He surely was an interesting expression of raw talent. There is no such thing as a real genius, you are one or you are not, Amiba was certainly one seeing the self-taught feats he achieved. Just imagine if he was taught Hokuto shinken since birth like Ken. Then geniuses can have a non-stereotyped or non-morally dictated personality you know? Amiba was also cocky, that’s all, as countless real examples throughtout the human history.
@@themurphy1245 i like to think that those pressure points he discovered were just "no touch areas" in the Hokuto school. He tampered where he shouldnt and his hands exploded for that
Everything or everyone that tries to subdue Kenshiro always has him referencing Hokuto Shin Ken's 2000 year old history. Bart: Kenshiro, you'll drown if you don't wear a snorkel. Ken: Hokuto Shin Ken has a 2000 year old history. Something like water won't stop me from inhaling oxygen while submerged!
Uh, no, I'm pretty sure that he does indeed explode halfway through falling to his death, exactly as it appears. That type of 'overkill' is one of Kenshiro's (and the audience's) favorite gimmicks.
The scream he makes when his hands explode and when he tries to stop himself from walking over the edge without those hands anymore, it's just too funny.
What if there had been a thick wall behind Amiba? That would've been awkward. Just imagine him walking against that wall backwards until starving to death!
Actually if i remember correctly (mind you i watched the show when i was 8 or 10) ken once made a dude walk until his feets bled and he eventually died
That pressure point that blew up his hands also cauterized the wounds immediately, as no blood is seen, it also destroyed all tbr nerves in his hands, preventing him from feeling anything That's my theory6
16 years ago this video was posted. The internet was a new and wonderful place. Flash animation was long and memes were crafted with care and passion. Then came the dark times, before the coming of the Facebook and the Google. Now in the wasteland a lone hero still walks, surviving to punch things and make us proud!
I love that little extra stab Mamiya gets for herself. "Y'know I bet you'd be able to fix your legs if you wasn't a little bitch with no hands, oh wait!" Literal insult to injury
Agreed he got what he deserved, but I still find the punishment Ken gave Jagi to be more kick ass. Specially when Jagi had bare nerves due to a certain pressure point pressed when Ken's fist pummeled him for Yuria. That arrow had to feel like a bullet going into ones... testicals if anything, and the final hit showed Jagi how brutal Ken was to the wicked. Pure Epic.
You know with how many numerous pressure points there appear to be in this show, I'm surprised no one accidentally killed themselves or someone else by accidentally touching them in one spot. I mean really think about it; Guy: "Whoa, way to go man! That was awesome!" *pats his back* Friend: *head explodes* Guy: "JESUS CHRIST! I WAS JUST CONGRATULATING HIM!!!"
@@freemanoxenholmes2241 i know but my point remains the same XP he's proven even touching one spot can cause an explosion so I question how often people blow themselves up on this show by accident XP
@@memberofchat2825 yeah and in this wasteland there are people who clearly overpower kenshiro yet he easily defeats them with these very specific pressure points. If we were dealing with the everyday world, I'd be in agreement, but clearly in a land of wastelands and thugs, more than a handful of them ought to be able to blow their friends head up by accident XD
Amiba wasn't an inherently bad guy, he's just boastful at his technique that's all. I just hope he got his second chance and prove his worth in another world
Nah, he was definitely a bad guy. He did kill that lady's husband and was making people continuously be sicker or die while using them as guinea pigs all out of petty revenge in order to besmirch Toki's good name.
Actually, they have a technique in Souten no Ken which allows Hokuto users to hold their breath more than 10 minutes. They escaped a sinking ship that way by simply taking a stroll on the ground of the ocean.
the master of kenshiro: ok you have spent the last 15 years training in the basic technique of hokuto, now we are going to move on to the best part of the secret technique of hokuto.... trolling the bad guys.
I don't remember the other scenes specifically, but I just interpreted the explosion as a way of showing that he died without specifically showing what literally happened... Kind of like in Beauty and the Beast, how Gaston had skulls appear in his eyes as he fell. Of course they weren't really there, it's just a colorful way of getting the point across.
