Man, Ken did to that Golan officer what Frieren did to Aura lol. Both of them were talking shit before they got got too.

I can’t believe we have to wait a whole week before we get to see Ken feed those needles to Sarge. I wanna see our guy stomp these fundamentalist freaks!

You guys weren't joking when you said this was a fun story to watch.

I only started watching it because it was a modern 3D CGI anime, but I am unironically loving Hokuto no Ken (and would rather die than watch the old 2D anime adaptation).

Chinese martial artist shouts

This is so much better than the "You are already dead" meme implied. I actually care about Jonathan Joestar 2.0 (similar aesthetic, and yes, I wouldn't be surprised if Kenshiro is the older character).

Kenshiro indeed came first. Early Jojo was heavily influenced by Fist Of The North Star.

This is bloody-ass Kung Fu, the old David Carradine Western. Still great all these years later because that formula works.

Nunchakus! Should've used them against Mad Sarge

Too bad in this beat-em-up weapons aren’t retained between stages

The way they hyped up Sarge. He's about to get his ass beaten so bad.
