I told you we had a surprise for you this week and its an in depth five part look at the amazing Fist of the North Star series and the history surrounding it. Thanks to Russell Smith for taking the charge and helping craft this amazing look at Fist of the North Star.
The Guiding Light of The Fist of the North Star
An original article about the history of Hokuto no Ken, written by Russell “Kentai” Smith
Part 1 of 5 – The World of the Fist of the North Star
“You are already dead!!”
“KEN!”
Her voice rings out across a battlefield of fallen villages, their blood staining the sand between the buildings shattered and cracked after the war. She’s a tiny girl, held in the raised hands of a massive thug, he and his forces having ravaged the front lines of this peaceful village that lives in fear of its well being taken by men like him. The man she calls out to, dressed in a torn leather jacket and jeans, walks through the corpses with rage in his eyes. Three of the punks who aided their leader, a man just called “Z”, stand in his way.
The man named Ken looks at these three men, and cracks his knuckles. “Get out of my way”, he tells them simply. Not fans of being mocked, the three savages launch themselves at Ken, clubs and axes in hand, but he pays them no mind. With a single swing of his long leg, each one of them is smacked in the face, and without looking back he leaps over them, continuing on as if they never existed.
