Every single time I am completely enchanted in front of Rei, exactly like Yuda. I'm in love with Rei from I was little girl, and I can't bear his death, not even 30 years later.
This scene is masterpiece. I dunno,.but very difficult to overcome this scene in terms of colours, music, adrenaline, beauty, deep meaning. It's a 'living' painting. It's not a simple manga/anime
I love this fight so much. It's like the equivalent of Piccolo defeating the main villain of a story arc in Dragon Ball Z or something. Giving a non-protagonist the spotlight like they did here just makes you appreciate the scene so much more
Especially with the underlying fact that Rei was dying, yet he was fighting for the honor of Mamiya, who had also saw the star which may have fated her to an eventual death.
@@turanmeherremli2618 both were made in a very similar time period so the original fans of fist of the North Star were probably big dragon ball fans too
Yeah, but I guess Bin Shimada is more known for voicing comedical characters. Broly stands out as being extreme and intimidating. Although Juda is a very strategic and sneaky guy.
Japanese voice actors are chamaleonic.Vegeta seiyuu also dubbed Andromeda Shun in Saint Seiya (a pacifist and androginous looking character). Rei seiyuu also voiced Vega/Balrog in Street Fighter games and movies.
welp, that's actually what Nanto Suicho Ken is, a beautiful yet brutal martial arts that will kill opponents with graceful dance, enemies who know about it will forget that they are fighting because they are mesmerized by its beauty
Rei was my favorite North Star character so seeing him have this great moment killing a person that loved him for a person he loved and have it be one of his final moments is just what makes it my favorite.
@@Bloodlyshiva The part where he launches into the air and you see the swan dive. This is the essence of the most beautiful martial art that is also the deadliest. 南斗水鳥拳奥義！飛翔白麗！
Guilty Light Best part. No drugs needed. But if this were the 70's and this was on.... we'd be seeing sound waves and light traveling slower than our breaths.
Yuda has the typical inferiority complex of the homosexual... he wanted to be like Rei, even if he hated him because he had the virility he does not possessed and refused, at the end he redeemed himself confessing it to Rey. Shin loved Yuria the bad way, Toki loved her too, but accepted the choices of her and reached a higher state of love, that is the absence of the human passions and desires, motivated by the sense of sacrifice and waiver; a lesson that Shin, star of martrydom, learned at the very end... Shin died regretting his actions and Yuda regretting the fact of never made himself a real man like Rey did... Rei died the good way, regretting nothing because he redeemed at first himself and the honour of his Mamiya.
I just thought Yuda was a closeted homosexual, who raped women to convince himself that he wasn't gay. But you're right, he DID confess it all in the end.
here's a fun fact That I may have butchered because it's been a while since i read rei gaiden the previous master of nanto suicho ken was pretty masculine and had an aggressive style of fighting Even though Rei did learn from him he learned the dance like and beautiful movements he currently uses from the master's wife who apparently knew an even more ancient version of the technique
The artstyle of this chapter is actually well-drawn, I can only imagine how it look in modern 2D graphic and the way Yuda was defeated is kinda very interesting, he hate someone who is or have more beautiful quality than him but when he is on the moment when someone's beauty is truly shown, he can't help but completely mesmerized by it, completely making him vulnerable to Rei's killing strike
Yuda hated someone else, who looked more handsome than him, but in fact he was in love with grace of Rei, when he first saw Rei performing one of those Nanto Suicho-Ken attacks.
I am pretty sure Juda is bi, but considering the apocalyptic age he lives in, that would probably be seen as some sort of weakness, so maybe he is projecting hate to hide his admiration (and probable man-crush?) for Rei. If so, then that's sad because his repression of feelings is what made him a monster and (ultimately) what fueled his Nanto style. Juda is such a tragic figure.
Remember that time Rei had sex with the person who may have birthed raoh's son and said "Wow this feels like I'm fucking my own mom" not exactly like that it was more like "This feeling, it's the feeling of a mother"
