This is an introductory video to the Hokuto no Ken franchise, where I provide a brief plot overview and analysis of the first true arc of the series, the Shin arc.
This video is meant to rekindle interest in a franchise that seems to be mostly forgotten, and that hasn't seen new core content since 2003.

I think my favorite part about the Shin arc is how Kenshiro basically teaches Bat an important lesson about honor, respect, and forgiveness through his actions of burying Shin. Despite all of the stuff Shin put Ken through, Ken still viewed Shin as his best friend and gave him a proper burial since Shin also loved Yuria. It's through stuff like this that helps Bat grow into a good man like Kenshiro, and it's also why Kenshiro's character is a lot deeper than what people think it initially is. He's a man holding great sorrow, but he also carries a lot of love and strength within him.
I like how Ken still had the conviction to Kill Shin despite how he felt regardless. He used perfect judgement. He always had perfect judgements and zero regrets for his actions. After Shin scared him it unlocked the real Ken.
A lot of people say DBZ is the godfather of Shounen.
But this series is actually the godfather of Shounen and action anime.
Dragonball, Jojo, Berserk; etc.
It inspired all of them.
True, if I were to put it better way, it's to have the godfather trio and from what I've heard, its: kinnikuman, hokuto no ken, and dragon ball z as all 3 have inspired shonen. I love dbz but I'm sick of dbz fanboys acting like dbz had no inspiration but was the inspiration and all anime wouldn't exist without dbz, even slice of life animes that don't reference shonens or even screaming characters
Besides we all know anime came from astro boy, sure he didn't shape the shonen genre, but before the anime, he had a crappy tokusetsu, imagine tokusetsu's for any shonen manga ever
@@redpikmin017
Actually! Kamen Rider has Shonen adaptations in its franchise.
@@redpikmin017 "kinnikuman, hokuto no ken, and dragon ball z as all 3 have inspired shonen." No, not DB but Saint Seiya or Ring Ni Kakero. DB is a mixture of Ninnikuman, Hokuto no Ken and Saint Seiya.
Actually when it comes to Dragon Ball, Toriyama was more or less inspired by Osamu Tezuka, like Astro Boy.
Hokuto no Ken doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
The series is just full of soul
This series has such badass quotes aside from the obvious like the meme but "ive come back from hell to end you" and "my fists are for the heavens" are my favorites
'Life is a precious gift, and you don't deserve it'
I Like the line go sleep in a barn with the other animals
Pigs belong in in their pen
The flames of hell will never burn hot enough to contain you
And from the dub of the movie that readaps the souther arc love brings with it the deepest Sorrow witch it why I refuse to let it in my heart
Oh yeah and reis what Color is your blood line that one always gives me chills
Damn, the brave series, sonic adventure, berserk, HnK, and MANIME. Major respect to this channel.
Shin only beat Ken because Ken held back while Shin was basically a narcissist taking advantage of a friend. That type of behavior is common in urban environments such as the hood where they befriend you just to be able to try you while they remain safe.
Facts 💯
This reads like a nerdy white guy reading a Wikipedia article about the hood lol.
I'm a simple man
I see a vid showing love to HnK
I click and like
Hyped that the manga is finally getting a full official english release
7:28 I may be wrong about this, but from what I remember this dude used some martial arts technique to make his skin as tough as steel, and Kenshiro basically just managed to "bend" it by using sheer force (which he's definitely capable of doing since he destroyed a tank barehanded).
Your correct; Ken fought a bandit king with the Steel Breathing Technique, Kazan Kogai Koho.
Ken practices the Dragon Breathing Technique, Tenryu Kokyu Ho.
HnK had breathing techniques before Demon Slayer and Haki before One Piece lol
PLEASE IF YOU CAN MAKE ANOTHE VIDEO LIKE THIS IT HAS SUCH GOOD EDITING AND A GREAT SCRIPT YOU ARE AMAIZING
just did
I love the manga I'm 80 chapter in now
Fantastic video on all fronts from the script to the editing.
thanks!
I loved this. I completed a retrospective on the manga takeki Ryuusei by Tetsuo Hara not to long ago, and while researching that manga I learned a lot of the works Hara credits as inspiration for HnK and it made me love it all the more. High quality stuff and I'm excited for more uploads
One of the greatest Anime ever made i rewatched it twice in less than two years after never watching it back in 2019, it's such an emotional story, brought tears to my eyes 😭, Toki 😭 a must watch
MANLIEST ANIME EVER
HOKTO NO KEN 4 LIFE best anime ever
This is the only show which makes me cry as if i was of radical religious faith just purely based ion how manly this shit is and how hard the omens they sense are
Lol your description is funny. Religion, when good, is a code of moral values by which to strive for. So there is truth to what you say.
You deserve a lot more eyes on this project. I don't generally like recap videos of this kind, but you're doing awesome work here.
It took itself seriously, it had engaging character who though not the deepest nonetheless all had something compelling about them be they hero or villain, and it managed to balance a message of the importance of kindness, compassion and honor, while not falling into the trap that so many of the later shonen series that followed would fall into.
You know the ones, series where "Defeat equals friendship" meant no consequences for horrible, horrible actions. No, though Ken often came to forgive his enemies or st least ended their encounters with some level of respect for them, pretty much all of them died. No death is cheap here.
In other words, it had genuine pathos, and despite the ludicrous feats and events, it manages to feel real in a way most modern shonen dont.
Also, while Kenshiro is a great protagonist, the thing that makes him really work, is that his entire personality is at odds with his setting, thus all his conflicts feel logical, dynamic and real.
Its something a lot of post apokalypse stories that tries to be Fist fails to understand.
Having a protagonist who fits right in with the wasteland setting does not by definition make for an engaging story, but put someone with morals and convictions, who is genuinely likeable, and put him in a setting where might makes right, you immediatly get a story where your protagonist FEELS like an underdog despite rarely being actually threatened with a fight he can lose.
Kenshiro almost always wins his fights, but often the people he tried to protect end up killed or crushed, and he has to respond to that.
Add in all the family dynamics and rivalries, and it all comes together.
This was amazing! I really need to watch now,thanks for showing it
Why do the smallest channels have the best content?
They make what they want because they haven't sold their soul for money
Please continue. Newcomers need to know about Toki and Raoh...
Exactly
I love this manga, even being young
The manga has great pacing I think as never bored in any chapter also the art was so good. This definitely inspired dbz baki berserk jojo and many more
3:17 good parenting = bat and lin is officially kenshiro's child
the least he could do after/before exposing them to literally endless blendering of goons.
Jesus christ what a well written, well edited, beautifully put together video.
This feels like it would get the highest score on the AP english essay questions.
Roblox Montage Man Approved
I know what's on my to read/watch list next.
what made it so good ? ... everything
This is the best hokuto no ken video i have ever watched
Great video on one of my favorite manga thanks for reminding me of why I love fist of the north star
An amazing series. Full of amazing fights, but also had a heartfelt story
God i wanna reread this again now
mission accomplished
Excellent video! I just finished the first series and am making progress through the manga and it's already in my favorites.
I hope this video helps in garnering interest in the series!(beyond the meme...)
I’ve got into the series with the hardcover manga by Viz Media and I love this series.
this is still the best video on youtube
There are more to it. Shin took Yuria from a man who could not protect her and gave her the world. The kenshiro who came to rescue her was another man in the same body.
are you gonna make more videos like this?
btw great video, and thank you for reminding me why i love this anime :)
i mean i think i have to now.
@@JuzaVoices only if you want to lol
Ken must’ve stockpile of shirts and leather jackets. Damn thing keeps ripping apart.
Bro, you have to make the next one. What a good video. Thanks!
I am here hyping myself (even more) for the upcoming anime!
I gotta get all of these as they come out
I love HNK to death but it holds the title father of shonen anime. The grandfather shall go to Ashita No Joe
First anime I’ve ever seen. FOTNS is so epic.
To be honest, i dont really know if kenshiro can return people's memory but Kasumi can
the claim was just that hokuto as a practice is capable of it
Awesome video! Please make more in this series!!
will you cover the other arcs?
Please do a video essay on sailor moon
👀.... hmm
@@JuzaVoices couldn't hurt
What’s your favorite fight? So far Raoh vs. Juza is my personal favorite.
same, but specifically the ANIME juza fight. It was awesome that the animation and writing staff basically made juza change the canon of the fight, avoiding the killing blow from the manga. It was probably just a clever way to kill time but it was the best way to do it.
Juza Voices I didn’t read the manga. :(
7:45 Hokuto means North Dipper, aka the Big Dipper or Ursa Major, which is why sometimes "Hokuto no Ken" is (badly) translated as "Fist of the Great Bear." "Fist of the Big Dipper" doesn't sound very cool, so they changed it to North Star, which is at least somewhat related since you can use the Big Dipper to find the North Star.
Nanto is...the South Dipper, which is an actual constellation, unlike the "South Star" which doesn't really exist.
In my eyes, it's pretty unfortunate that as the series goes on the Nanto Seiken schools are pretty much made out to be really inferior. At first they were the opposite but equal counterpart to Hokuto, but then once Toki and Raoh are introduced it pretty much becomes "yeah Hokuto Shinken's the best and Nanto Seiken has always been under its shadow."
5:18 bro really screamed for Eiichiro-san :P
How did you find someone punching that hundred crack fist game.
Can you please get to the second season of fist of the north star or the second arc
Answer:- the first half
How many people played the Fist of North Star Lost paradise game?
I think you might have misinterpreted the crux of Ken's fight with Shin. The fight starts with Shin thinking he's still got the upper hand, only to learn that Ken has grown through his obsession with finding Yuria. In response to this, Shin decides to "Kill" the Yuria doll, thinking that if Ken thinks Yuria is dead, he'll lose the object of his obsession and become weak enough to kill. Fortunately, this plan backfires HARD with Ken drawing on pure, righteous anger to give him the strength to defeat Shin.
Then again, I only saw the anime, so maybe the manga did something different.
Also the anime did the Shin arc much better than the manga did, imo.
Great observation, as for how the anime did the Shin arc, I didnt like how they included The General as a subordinate for Shin in the anime. The General was likely equal to Shin or a little bit better in combat.
@@realamericannegro977 You mean the Colonel. Seeing as Shin was one of the Nanto Rokusei, whereas the Colonel was a practitioner of one of the subordinate schools, there's basically no way he's stronger than Shin. Especially since you can see that the strongest Nanto Seiken practitioners have honed their destructive techniques to the point they can slice stone with their bare hands, or crush diamonds in their grip, while the Colonel had to rely on things like claws and razor boomerangs.
@@AirLancer The Colonel had all that trickery. His hands were still legit but you are right.
Where’s part 2?
Make one about older shonen find the oldest and call it the ancestor of shonen.
Very good and badass Wuxia/Martial Art Anime/Cartoon Movie genre!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow. Hokuto no Ken is pretty overlooked compared to contemporary shounen shows. It's crazy. Nice video for the most part, but it's hard for me to watch the rest of the series. Just because Rei of Nanto Suichoken dies. But the manga looks good to read though. Interested in knowing the creators a bit more.
This is absolutely fantastic, I tried to make a video on fist of the north star but it turned out kinda shit. Keep up the good stuff!
This video is fucking awesome
Good video.
Grandfather of Shonen? What is Kinnikuman then? The Great Grandfather?
I only saw a tiny bit of that show well after its prime and it was never popular here; we actually got anime pretty late on basic cable here. At first it was premium only cable channels and I only saw anime when I stayed overnight at my grandparents.
I am pretty sure we got stuff in the States before most other places too; at least before like Canada and South America. Even HnK barely anyone knows here; it was DBZ specifically that really popped off. Original DB was less popular.
There definitely are influences that we didn't really experience over here across the ocean.
i think you put the wrong episode count and the wrong chapter count, the series is not that long
Yesss I made it! Hi Mom!
oh hey dude! id love to chat if you've got the time, like where the heck was that machine??
here's a discord invite link if you're down: discord.gg/FuPCmf
Secondo te, Ken il guerriero è 1 anime per soli maschi o anche per femmine?
You know you're dealing with an American when the video discusses the legacy of HnK without even mentioning Saint Seiya...
Great video but the way you pronounce Japanese names feels weird- you don’t have to actually say them like they do
You named your channel after the worst character of HnK? Lmao
Damn bro you didn't have to do him like that...
Juza the worst??? Jagi is the worst lol
And then Jagi comes along....
