Raoh speaking to Kenshiro about Kaioh (Flashback)

This is my favorite clip from Hokuto no Ken 2. This is a short, sad and sympathetic flashback between Raoh and Kenshiro. Raoh describes to Ken about how he has family on a island. He tells Ken that he truly loves his brother, Kaioh, and wishes for Ken to defeat his brother if he is unable to. This flashback is sad, the music is exellent, and seeing Raoh, my favorite character, is always a plus.

nope wrong, kenshiro is from the hokuto family and that was the reason ryuken preordained he would be the sucessor, he has the mark of hokuto on his head and then again on his chest after the shin incident.

I disregard everything that occurs after manga 16/after Raoh dies. They added crap just to extend the series by changing Raoh and Toki's genuine storyline. They also added more siblings and family members. This has become typical of most animes, but why did it have to occur in Hokuto No Ken? It was disgraceful to the original storyline. This flashback, however, includes Raoh and was not on Youtube at the time I searched for it. I needed to bring back the true antagonist of the series!

kenshiros mother and raohs mother were sisters raohs bloodline were the original succesors of hokuto shinken raoh toki and kaioh have the 7th dots birth marks in their body kaiohs mark are on his head but couse 1 of raohs toki and kaiohs bloodline sacrefied her self 2 save kenshiros blood line from getting kill thats wen all beggin

I don't recall Ken's and Raoh's mothers being sisters...where did you gain this information?

[BernardBluth]

Considering when Kenshiro is made succesor Raoh basically says Hokuto Shinken will be doomed as a result he wouldn't have given that speech. Even in the first Ken/Raoh fight Toki says Ken doesn't have a 1% chance of victory until Ken revs up his aura like a madman.

What is next, Raoh told Jagi to take care of Kokuoh-Go in case Souther killed him? Give me a break.

[sec0ndevolution]

Hate this flashback. Raoh always looked his nose down on Kenshiro until the latter half of the manga. He wouldn't have made a contrived speech like that when he was made successor.

Just shows how Buronson & Hara were shoehorning elements into the sequel.

@VraiDiouf it did, it made sense and carried the story up to this point, some critics say hokuto no ken should have ended with ken against raoh, but i don't think so, the shura land story makes sense because in the first episode that raoh is on hokuto no ken he mentions he will return to shura only once two warriors from his bloodline have been beaten, Toki and Kenshiro

[kalai131]

@brobbus0 hyo was a pretty good character, and so was kaioh, but what's confusing is this, if all of the ones mentioned lost to Kenshiro because they had feelings and affection towards lost loved ones, then by that notion wouldn't Jagi have been the toughest fighter in the series, since he loved no one, and was just fucked in his head.

[Doika86]

@DestructProduct yea i agree. Actually i'd disregard anything that occurs after souther's death. That's when the manga started to suck. Kenshiro already almost beat Raul once so there wasnt really any suspence to it

[knucklez2]

@yumeshimanet IIRC it's finished in japan, but translations are still going. 153 of 200+ ish chapters so far, so about three quarters done. I will message you with a website where you can read it.

[yumeshimanet]

@knucklez2 is SnK manga still going on or, even better, finished? I thought they dropped it, too.

[knucklez2]

@yumeshimanet Read it, don't watch it. The anime series is garbage but the manga series is really good, trust me! I do admit it starts out slow but some of the fights later on are fantastic, and Kasumi Kenshiro is a pretty awesome main character.

[yumeshimanet]

@knucklez2 Oh, I saw SnK and tried my best to forget it; it was done by just an author of the original HnK and it sucked ass so badly.

A tabagist yakuza kenshiro was lame enough, but they added extra hokutos, inexplicable karma connection and some john-wooesque cut to the series, not to mention AFAIK the manga was a flop.

[knucklez2]

@yumeshimanet Lol I mean 6 chapters, Shin dies incredibly fast in the manga.. The anime has WAY More of a build up to him. He's more of an intro villain in the manga,.

For prequels, I was talking about Souten No Ken, the prequel series that takes place around the World War 2 Era in Japan and China. It's incredibly badass, Kasumi (the main character) has much more personality than Kenshiro. He's more playful and cocky but still stoic and badass.

I really dislike all of the FOTNS OAVs :/

[yumeshimanet]

@knucklez2 6 volumes were not that bad back then and considering how short the manga was.

I've seen the prequels, too, both kenshiro den and ten no haoh: not bad at all, I must say; the crappiest part was the lame sequelesque 3-part OAV with him battling the morons of Lastland.
