Plot Summary
In the year 19xx, after having been betrayed and left for dead, courageous warrior Kenshiro wanders in a post-apocalyptic desert on a quest to track his rival, Shin. It was he who had kidnapped his beloved fiancee, Yuria. During her trip, Kenshiro used her deadly form of combat, Hokuto Shinken. It’s to protect the impotent from blood-thirsty pests. His exploits won’t take long to attract the attention of larger enemies, such as warlords and rival martial artists. On top of that, Keshirou finds himself involved with more than he had planned.
Encountered with more and more chances, Hokuto Shinken’s successor is constrained to put his skills to the test to take back what is most significant to him. And as this novel challenges themselves and the struggle against unfairness intensifies, that is to say, his war with Shin and the remainder of the Nanto Seiken school of soldierly arts, Kenshirou is progressively transformed into the deliverer of a beaming and aggressive world.
Two schools are vying for dominion: Hokuto and Nanto. Kenshiro is the legitimate heir to the Hokuto school.
Whereas Shin is at Nanto. Shin robbed Ken’s girlfriend, Julia, and Ken’s after her. Kenshiro walks through the drylands of the post-apocalyptic Earth while he tries to save Julia.
We discover the six Grand Masters from the Nanto Seiken school as the show progresses.
And the three adopted brothers of Kenshiro were also educated in the art of Hokuto Shinken.
In the end, Kenshiro’s final rival is only his older brother, Raoh. Who wishes to conquer and does not recognize Kenshiro as a worthy successor.
This alone makes fans speculate on the most robust character of the series. So, in this classification, we discover the best fighters of the Fist of the North Star.
Souther
Defeating Raoh in martial arts is awesome. It’s better to conquer Kenshiro decisively. The Holy Emperor Souther is immunized against Kenshiro’s pressure points. It leaves the fighter vulnerable thanks to its Nanto Ho-ohken style. Kenshiro remained unconscious, wounded, and imprisoned by Souther’s army without any means of retaliation. Only when Ken escaped and improved did Kenshiro get revenge.
During the fight, Kenshiro learned the secret of his «immunity.» He was born with his heart on his right side as opposed to his left. Because of this, his pressure points were reversed. By the time Kenshiro realized that the odds of winning were even. Although after the unveiling of his secret, Souther managed to fight Kenshiro before falling on Ken. That wasn’t strong enough to get him up there.
Fudoh
Nanto Seiken’s friend, the Rei practitioner, could have killed Raoh, the “king of boxers,” if he hadn’t seen his technique. Juza, the owner of Garyu No Ken, tries to carry on fighting him even after his death. Fudoh beat Raoh, though. Technically though. To overcome his fear, born of his meeting with Fudoh, Raoh defied him in combat. It will kill Fudoh or be killed by its army if Fudoh escapes by some means.
Raoh fought well, but he was unsuccessful in bringing down the giant. Then, on the verge of retaliation, his troops stabbed Fudoh to death with a ballista bullet. Raoh’s foot remained undetected. Fudoh beat him to success in his match. Therefore, his deadly wound meant that Raoh would never again have a chance to overcome his fear. Therefore, among the many warriors who died fighting the «Conqueror of the End of the Century,» Fudoh was the only one to have won among them.
Ryuken
Ramon ‘Ryuken’ Kasumi is Hokuto Shinken’s 63rd successor, having won the part following a duel with Koryu. At the same time, the rules stipulate that martial arts can only be handed down to one person at a time. Ryuken taught four students, knowing that all except one student would be exiled, their minds wiped out. Maybe, being shattered to keep Hokuto’s skills from falling into the wrong hands.
Having named Kenshiro to succeed him, he will seal Raoh’s fist definitively. Sadly, old age has passed, and a sudden heart attack leaves Raoh open for completion. A young Ryuken could have been at the top of the list, but his poor health and age resulted in a significant decrease.
Falco
While only one leg remains, the General d’Or proved that he was a force to be reckoned with. He was strong enough to hold Kenshiro back until her lover Myu, and the emperor was rescued. When they came, Falco rejoined the camp at Kenshiro.
He encountered his demise after being trapped by the unknown Asura. He is a swift and agile warrior.
While his injury was deadly, Kenshiro hit his Sekkatsuku pressure point to give Falco the power to avenge Asura Anonymous before his death. Had Falco’s luck failed, Falco would have had to test his skills the next time he came in.
Toki
Toki, the biological brother of Raoh and Kaioh, did not receive Hokuto Shinken training. It was not until young Raoh resisted this that Ryuken decided to adopt him. It was utilizing his rapidity and stoning technique. Toki had so much mastery of the art that Kenshiro thought he would certainly be the next successor. Yet the fall of man is its complex martyrdom.
When the nuclear attacks start, he pushes Kenshiro and his girlfriend Yuria to rescue them. The fallout gave him radiation trouble, which could make him weak during the whole series. Even after pressuring Sekkatsukou to boost his strength at the cost of his life, it was still not enough to overtake Raoh.
Han
Han is one of the three Rashos reigning over the country of Asura, but he is also considered the weakest of the three. It means he’s had the most attempts at murder. Therefore, to be a threat is more boring than playing chess with himself. He understands Hokuto Ryu Ken, an art that competes with Hokuto Shinken. This makes them so insignificant that he wants to spare certain murderers because they are too weak to challenge him.
After his forces kidnapped Kenshiro’s friend, Lin, he eventually met his opponent when the same man showed up at his castle. Kenshiro won a decisive victory, but it took one of Raoh’s techniques, Tensho Honretsu, to get the better of him.
Raoh
The first student at Ryuken, he spent most of his time learning the secrets of Hokuto Shinken. Even in the final event between himself and Kenshiro, he declared his ambition to resume everything under the sky before starting on the sky itself. Since then, he has become the most emblematic villain, even more than his nearly identical brother Kaioh.
But he failed to effectively overcome his fear of controlling Hokuto Shinken- Musou Tensei’s movement. He doesn’t have the extra power Kenshiro gets from that ability. The Conquest was defeated.
Hyoh
Hyoh is the birth brother of Kenshiro and the teacher of Hokuto Ryu Ken. When he was great, he became one of the three Rashos with Han and brought up Kaioh. On paper, he’s the strongest of the Three Rashos and maybe even more potent than Kaioh.
But he sealed the memories of Hyoh, leaving him under his spell until he lost at the hands of Kenshiro. His mind unleashed. He’s trying to overpower Kaioh. But the wounds of his battle with one of his brothers facilitated his search for the other. Kaioh killed him. The guy could have risen even higher in the standings without these warnings.
Kenshiro
No surprise at all. The 64th successor to the Hokuto Shinken line has repeatedly demonstrated why Ryuken chose him. Despite being the smallest and youngest of the four Hokuto Brothers.
Ken overcame every challenge thanks to his talents and his good heart. Ken has enough power to turn a tank into a piece of junk with his bare hands, but he’s not using that power to oppress others. Anyone trying to kill Ken, from Souther to Kaioh, only strengthens Ken.
The price of this power is high. The successor must endure loneliness until he finds a new student to transmit the martial arts. The only thing keeping a few of his friends from succumbing to the chaos around them is his ability to keep them there. As brutal as Fist of the North Star, he has a sadness in his heart that makes him more moving than the bloody action leads him to believe.
Kaioh
From a design point of view, Kaioh is not very impressive. He looks very much like his younger brother Raoh. He’s got movements like that, and he’s got the same voice actor in the anime. The difference is his complete attachment to evil. After his mom passed away, he saved Kenshiro from a burning building. Kaioh did everything in his power to destroy Hokuto Shinken and replace it with Hokuto Ryu Ken.
He committed atrocities, including killing his sister, to reach his goals. He was vigorous enough to move over and above the Musou Tensei method.
