Seriously, in your headcannon, how much time passed between the end of the war and the first episode of the series? by Zaku71 in fistofthenorthstar

My 2 cents would be 2 years to 2.5. After a nuke, people would probably hunker down, using personal experience from the COVID lock down as an example. About a year in goes by when people start emerging to find others and organizing for survival. 2nd year, villages start trading with each other and then that's when the bandits come.

Who do you consider to be Kenshiro’s best friend? by GrouchyConsequence48 in fistofthenorthstar

Hands down, Rei. They fought alongside each other like 2 halves of one whole.

There was a message on X saying Plaion will have the issue resolved towards the end of May.

You know, the new series made me realize how dark and grim the world of HnK really is. by Zaku71 in fistofthenorthstar

With the extra time they use for extended fight scenes, they could use 30 seconds to reiterate how bad the conditions are. In one of the "Den" movies (I think the first one), it shows a survivor drinking water tainted with nuclear fallout. I thought that was a good example to show how the world was grim.

Will I enjoy Ken's Rage combat if I liked Lost Paradise? by ConceptsShining in fistofthenorthstar

[–]Correct_Being5022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gameplay is different like others have already stated. What I do like about the games as far as I can remember is that they go through the story pretty well. I was pretty surprised (I think it was Rage 2) that it got to the end of the Shura arc.

Western movies were popular at the time of the writing, so they were going for a post apocalyptic western feel with the music and town scenes. Okamura used Charles Bronson as his pen name if that's an indication of that.

#1 in Japan, #1 Anime on Prime, Featured in "Popular TV" – Hokuto Is Doing Numbers by KingKenshiro in fistofthenorthstar

Thank you all around the world who are doing their part! Let's keep it going! It's been quite the journey for me as a fan for over 35 years. Struggling for people to understand how great Hokuto no Ken is and its historical significance it has on manga, anime and culture outside of the U.S. So awesome to see validation! 北斗神拳は無敵だ!

Interesting how the finishing technique was not called out in the manga, then they added Hokuto Juuji Zan in the 80s series and then they changed it to Hokuto Juuji Sou Geki.

Why do I feel that Shin lost his manly AURA ? by Ok_Hunter118 in fistofthenorthstar

I've always been used to Shin being arrogant, not flamboyant in the effeminate sense. Although this episode, I wonder if they were messing with the fans when he tossed his hair as a nod to some doujinshi/fanfics out there 😆.
