This show was my first exposure of anime back when I was around 12 years old. My dad used to tape the mortal combat series that was on channel 4 at about one in the morning and this was on before it. As a young teen in the late 90's this was the most violent cartoon I'd ever saw and I loved it. Been hooked to anime since. The channel 4 version had a different opening though. This is a much better one. YOU WA SHOCK!!!
hey please why don't you post something like this with japan and english about "heart of madness"? I found this about japan but there is not english can it be helpful? :)
Warning: the following opening sequence is the most manly sequence ever conceived. The sheer amount of testosterone displayed may make you start KARATE CHOPPING RANDOM OBJECTS!
i grew up watching this when i was a kid in japan. it came on around 5am right before school. best intro ever! if americans made this mainstream, they would ruin it with the word fist of the northern star repeated in the lyric lol
@Doomsfall That is an anime for more old people and the cenari of post nuclear war was clear in this anime is much more socialand have much more blod than dbz but i like the two
I want the manga translated in english so bad....somebody make a petition or something like that...I dont understand with viz and gatsoon canceled the manga and dont release the entire collection.FUCK!!!!
@simonthelimon We should get a lot of people and I mean alot of people to request it. If Viz Media gets enough request, they will release it if they know they'll make money off it.
@anti4kids2000 Its true,and I think this is one of the best mangas ever made so the entire collection have to be released in english one day,I think dark horse manga is the best option,viz is a great compay wich I admire for their products quality,but with hokuto no ken they only made shit.
@AngelDouche66 not so much....ha makes the sound wa when used as a particle denoting the subject of a sentence in Japanese, but it's still written ha. It's weird but still correct. I'm a second year student in Japanese if that adds to my credibility. You're already dead.
Yu wa shock <3 his power is better in the winter, he hinders into your mind with his manipulative electric spark, and BLOWS YOUR BRAIN OUT. yeah teach me that technique
After watching this anime in my childhood hair instantly grew in my chest and beard in my face. This was the manliest thing ever, I feel sorry for the kids today since they have Sponge Bob or some other stupid thing to watch
@ArismeTal1990 sorry but if you grew up watching this when it was first aired in the 80s you must now be 20 or 30 years old.... why are you trolling on a youtube video at your age wow well i'm just making assumptions but still i totally agree with you
@FergusTV1 dude in my early teens and my uncle told me about this.WHY can we have anime like that on air now!! Man,this SUCKS BUTT!!!You people who watched this back then are lucky
This new age of anime sucks and are pale compared to the manliness that is 80s anime. Haruhi, Lucky Star and Naruto are cry baby bull shit but hokuto no ken is one beast of a anime.
I miss series like this that have one-dimensional villains with no redeeming qualities who you want to see punished for cathartic purposes by a main character identified by sheer badassery and irresponsible amounts of manliness/toughness.
@zebezd Yeah, I saw another vid where people were calling the other singer "he" and "she" 0.o ... I mean in one video I thought it was a chick (though a little manly looking) in another an effeminate man (Only in looks though, they're still awesome)...
@Phil3975 the second singer is a man by the name of Masayuki Tanaka [ 田中雅之(たなか まさゆき ] of the group Crystal King (クリスタルキング). You can see him, and the other vocalist of Crystal King, Katsumasa Yoshizaki [ 崎 勝正〈よしざき かつまさ) ] in this video:
@elShoggotho I mostly agree, except JoJo's plagiarism from Hokuto no Ken is VERY obvious in the first two parts of the manga. As it went on and Araki matured as an artist, it became it's own thing. But in the beginning, he was a young inexperienced artist literally ripping off Hokuto no Ken.
