"Never retreat Never surrender Never look back" As much as a monster Souther was, his technique was interesting. That it could only have one succesor. To think that Souther dies just like the poor children he forced to work, desperate for his parents comfort and in tears.
stevieFFmaster Weird. I looked at Amazon, and the english shop really DOESN'T have it in stock. It confuses me, that they would translate and DUB a not that well known and pretty gory movie series like Fist of the North Star into German, but not into english (I think I've also seen it in French).
well, if you watched the anime, kenshiro learns overtime to master a technique called "battle aura" that makes his body tougher than steel, and the plot of the series is that he ALWAYS at leasts fight people that either gives him a hard time or beats him bad the 1st time and loses in a rematch. the healing thing, i think it grows more quickly overtime as his body gets more time to heal, like with kaioh: he got banged up BADLY but he was in a near-death state and healed up real fast.hope i helped
God, We Need a New Anime to Recount HNK Devoid of Filler, yet Filled with that Heart! Explosive, Smooth, and worthy of The Godfather of Strong Manga-Lads himself!
I know the animation is fantastic. I know it's closer to the original manga's source material. But the 1980's anime is just so much more fun to watch. I appreciate the fact that they wanted to make a modern adaptation of HnK. But they made a "serious" adaptation, thus stripping the factors that made HnK so great: cheesiness, recycled animation, melodrama, overly dramatic music, and WATAAA. I'm not saying this series is bad. It's excellent. But it's missing WATAAAA
If Zach Snyder brings back almost all the characters from 300 they can make Fist of the North Star. I believe he would read the manga and watch all the anime series and do what he does, he stays as close to the source as possible. We need to bring that idea out somehow...
I believe Souther's medical condition is called dextrocardia. There are actually three forms of this condition and Souther's is the rarest (Dextrocardia Situs Inversus Totalis), as not only his heart, but all his insides are reversed like a mirror image. Most people who have dextracardia just have the heart leaning to the right side, but everything else is normal or as normal as it can get with the heart being on the wrong side anyway.
Two reasons why Kenshiro always win at the end. First, and most foremost, this makes better animation. Second, it has to do with Hokuto shin ken. Hokuto shin ken destroy opponents from inside out through pressure point. One precise hit will kill the enemy, but imprecise hits do little damage. Nanto sei ken destroys opponents from outside in, so it does not require precise hit. Consequently, nanto will always has the upper hand in the beginning of a fight when the two are merely trading hits.
Where is this fight from? Watching the anime right now...the style of drawing looks different from the anime. Does it change in a few episodes? Still awesome fight!
So is Ken like Bruce Lee combined with Guts? I grew up with a brother that was obsessed with Fist of the North Star so idk what it's really like. We like different anime/manga but I get a Guts and Bruce Lee vibe from Ken.
He's also a tragic hero like Guts. The difference is that Guts while not downright hate them chose to not really care about strangers that much, if you're weak then you're better off dying and all that. Kenshiro on the other hand chose to help people in need even though he's a killer himself. He's some sort of a killer of killers, a karma for evil people, which is not a short supply considering the state of the world.
Indeed. Their similarity is that both are tragic heroes. Guts lost his friends and Casca, while Ken lost his wife and then later on his friends too. Guts reacted with anger (as he should) and revenge became his main drive for the most part of his journey. Kenshiro took a different route, because he kinda realized that he's not the only one with a problem since the world is already screwed. Kenshiro also respects most of his enemies going so far as giving them proper burial, even the one that took his wife and left him for dead. As long as you man up to what you've done, whether it's good or bad and ready to die for that, Ken will see you as a true man and worthy of respect.
Ken could touch just at the right time. Yes his Kamahama -could- hit him,but ken can dodge it sum how. never the less, id love to a fight between them, would be so cool. Dont take my comment to heart btw, I love dbz, and love the serries.
Pretty sure goku will win because he's the speed of light and kenshiro isn't not only that but goku is billions of times stronger than kenshiro and if goku goes mastered ultra instinct kenshiro want even see him move so goku will say you are already dead
