I dunno why people keep sayin' Rei looks like crap, in this video, because his looks here are closer to the manga then the 1984 anime version (blue/green hair) ever was.
@TeddyBeer07 lol. Exactly. The ironic thing was that the 'original' TV series was the bastardized one. The OVA series follows the awesome artwork of the actual manga way better.
Screw that! If Rei tried that leaping in the air crap on me I'd just back up out of the way, and punch him while he was coming down! Granted, I'd still be mutilated and killed in such a way as to able to see my insides and make comments about it, but at least I wouldn't go out like no bitch!
@otakusoul22 i dont think so. go read Rei Gaiden manga and you know why the animators didnt bother to make it. too much "boobies, naked woman, titties and nude babe".
@shumworld well it is disturbing for some people especially female readers. but not for me since i know ecchi to the highest level is the usual traits for seinen manga.
and there are alot worse stuff in anime/manga so don't make it sound like it's only disturbing thing ever. like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure a dog gets set on fire and in another part a dog get riped in half
Elfin Lied a naked girl rips a persons head off with her mind
Bad character design, if you ask. Very bad voiceover. Will anyone make Rei justice for fuck's sake??? Best character ever, give him his own episode, a prequel, a fuckin' spinoff, something! This is the only screentime he had since the 80s? I mean, seriously?
Regards to the clip: This is poor and very boring compared to his original debut. check out the original film or even the original series. The modern shit can't be compared unfortunately.
he even wears the body fitting uniform even thought hes not a student (he should have students now that hes a master. a king of nanto seiken!) that is deffinitely dedication!!!!▐▐▐
why do all the guys in this series look like they are related to Jay Leno and his Giant Chin? if Jay grew a mullet he would be Kenshiro's twin, except he would be all flab instead of muscles
this is a big big shit, no comparison with old Tv series hokuto no ken the best anime of all times. The new style of draw is awful arrrrghhh, it doesn't transmit feelings as old serie did
... Or silver depending on which one. Either way, I agree. Black hair and white clothes aren't him. That, of course doesn't stop him from being my favorite HNK character.
The white hair denotes his will to survive and avenge Mamiya's honour. So at that time, he was at his strongest. Even Yuda remarks how powerful he's become.
I agree it looks better green. I once saw a depiction of Rei with red hair. It looked pretty badass. While I understand that they were going for more realism in the OVA the look just doesn't seem right.
I've always admired Nanto more than Hokuto. Because nanto cuts dudes in pieces lol. My favorite Nanto generals were Souther and Rei. And maybe Yuda cause he's that awesome lol.
Too bad Raoh killed Rei, I actually cried when that happened D:
can someone lend a hand im so confused. the fist of the north star was the best program i ever saw. i only saw the funanimation dubs wich as to like the 38th ep or something,im so confused. can someone tell me what happend. apparently theres hundreds of episodes. is the a version of all the episodes with english subs. why does rei look diffrent here and why are the grapics diffrent. also what is the fistof the north star film like (both anime and non)
because this is a new modificated version of hnk they make it like resume in movie of many episodes i have all the episodes until in the end ken go against his real brother and ken o after resurect but in the end raw die cover by volcanic magma is very cool and there is another version of hokuto no ken that came out in 2001 this episode is when they believe yuria because shin said she die but she survive
Actually he does, it's called, "Bloody Wolf's Darkness Blue: Fist of the North Star Rei Side Story", or in japanese, "Sōkoku no Garō Hokuto no Ken Rei Gaiden". Problem is, it's not on youtube, i've tried looking for it. :(
@Rampageotron There's another couple of scenes in the remakes. One after his hair turns white with Toki. And another with the Five Chariot Guardians of Nanto. But I don't think he has as major a role as in the '86 movie.
the original voice actor died, and this new one just doesn't match the original's beloved battlecries. It's the same for many of the characters in the new remake. Still, animation is good, and has it's own flashy style.
oh man ! they ruined the whole HNK series, what a crappy intro and what a crappy move !! the jump was too high and too unecessary !! the first movie done in 86 was best of all !
The animation and quality of these OVA are very lacking. I am very disappointed at how they failed to add today's standard to improve on an 80s classic.
I noticed that Rei looks slightly different in this version. Rather than having white hair like from the original anime, his hair is black. Well no, there's nothing wrong with it, but I'm used to seeing him with white hair. I guess the animators must have thought that if he were to retain his white hair, he'd look too close to Seiji from "Shin Hokuto no Ken" even though it was Seiji who'se looks were taken from Rei.
His hair turned white after he was injured by Raoh in the Series. He was to die in 3 days, but Toki used a Hokuto technique to extend his life in order to get revenge for Mamiya. This is form the manga and Tv series, not the anime movie.
Kaneto Shiozawa was also the original voice of Shin Kazama from Area 88. And if I'm not mistaken he also did Vampire Hunter D as well. He had a nice voice.
I prefer Kaneto over Shinichiro Miki when it comes to Rei. Shinichiro did the voice of Bob Makihara from Tenjou Tenge, Kisuke Urahara from Bleach, and Koujiro (James) from Pokemon, just to name a few.
ok that was boring compared to the original o.o thin agin i like classics

The only problem with Rei's lighter hair is the lack of contrast when his hair turned white later on.

On the contrary, his hair turned white because he endured an insufferable pain to survive even longer.

I don't think the transition to white hair looks as striking when his hair was turquoise.
