I was even expecting Ken’s parents to show up at some point.Īnother complaint is that towards the end, after crossing the sea, the fights start becoming less about supernatural Kung Fu, and more like psychic power fights. You do end up getting used to it but it’s somewhat aggravating the amount of “surprise, this person was your family member all along”. My main complaint is that new villains always feel forced into the story since there's no foreshadowing, just a "oh I suddenly remembered I have YET ANOTHER evil brother" or "so we came up with a handful more dudes to represent some other stars which you’ll forget soon enough". Then it devolves into a somewhat repetitive monster of the week until it picks back up with Rei's appearance (vol 4?) and evolves into a sustainable succession of events around the Nanto stars and the Hokuto inheritance all the way until Kaioh’s death (vol 24), where the story then becomes about tying up loose ends. 1st volume and half are good for the intro and buildup to Shin, which sadly ends up being an anticlimactic confrontation, and starts off the whole Schrödinger’s Yuria nonsense. It may sound a bit cheesy but it works out pretty well through the entire story. Love for his wife Yuria, love for defenceless villagers, love for the ones who look up to him, love for his family. 2010? Kenshiro, an absolute monster of a man, fights and kills his way through hordes of enemies and a good number of major villains all in the name of love. In this desolate wasteland in the distant future of. So, Hokuto no Ken is an ode to the power of love. Battles are always a treat, with a good variety of villains and different attacks and styles. The last volumes look really good, tho it might also be due to better scans. The artwork is very good, and still gets better through the series. It very much follows the genre where all dudes are buff, all women are extremely pretty but can’t fight for shit, and the men fight over power, over the women, over their ideals. Now this is very much a typical 80s action story.
