Souther & Roah > Any other villain from the above series

Hokuto no Ken Zero- Kenshiro Den


TEASER!

OK from the looks of it this takes place BEFORE HnK, after when Shin leaves Ken injured and kidnaps Yuria/Julia
Here’s hoping for some good fights cuz the fights in the Raoh Den were OK but…lacking.
Oh and is it me or are they using the 2nd Intro for this movie?!
Hope they stick to You wa Shock.

^I was hoping that wasn’t true. They could’ve done so much before if it was placed around when Kenshiro became the successor, a wasted opportunity imo. This will be nothing more than kenshiro one shotting mobs and then maybe struggling with a rare thug for epic lewtz. >_<

Then again it might not take place then, it COULD take place after HnK, but the Zero in the title kinda indicates it takes place before HnK.

the thing is the new movies didnt seem to improve as they made em. all the flaws are apparent in each one and its like they never thought to change the gameplan. just another retelling and not much new.

Ten No Haoh’s website has been updated, Raoh fucking looks like Mitsuomi Takayanagi from tenten. >_>

Updated trailer now available.

It’s been a while since I last saw the anime (never read the manga) but what happened after Kenshiro was chosen as successor? Did the Shin/Yuria incident occur straight afterwards? And if it did, then is this movie set during the time Ken beefed up before meeting Lin?

The Toki arc was the best in the series for me so I have high hopes for this.

Some have seen the movie, but I haven’t read their spoilers about it, but you could be right on when this movie takes place.

im kind of skeptical about this last one. theres alot of insight and developing the story but its not the same action.

What is there for Ken to do at this point, really?

He practically one shotted the main “villian” in SHNK with a mercy kill.

Seriously…

After Raoh and Kaioh, who’s left? :rofl:

i know, many fans were hoping theyd do something crazy like actually continue the storyline instead of rehashing it with pretty pictures

^I for one would like some actual Nanto Backstory(as much flak as it gets, I love SNK for its exploration of past derivatives of hokuto shinken, ones that actually have more of a point than crap like Hokumon that was made up on the spot it seems.) Hopefully SNK includes the Nanto lineage at some point.

Also some more clarification of the numerous plot holes that HNK2 produced would be helpful.

Can someone PLEASE tell me the name of the song in the new movie that I saw in Japan in October with Kenshiro as the main star.

After the credits rolls, you see like still images when Ken is in jail with Bart, from the very first anime series, what is the name of it

Sounds like you watched Kenshiro Den you lucky git!
Is it the track on this website?

If it is then it’s One Hundred Years Solitude by Garnet Crow.

EDIT: try ‘Garnet Crow - Hyakunen no Kodoku’.

No its not that one, the ones I am talking about is after the credits

There is no singing, just a tune, its slow but a good feel to it

its not a rock song? road of lords? or the one that has electronic beeps in the beginning from raoh gaiden

Its called shin kyuseishu

search ‘hnk road of lords’ or ‘b’z lonely stars’ dunno what else to tel lya

Ahh so that’s what it’s called, I’ve been calling it the Shin Kyuseishu Densetsu series theme until now :rofl:
Road of Lords: http://rs391.rapidshare.com/files/165115165/Road_of_Lords.mp3

Other worthy tracks that deserve a mention imo:

  • Raoh Gaiden (Shuu): Where the Lights Are

  • Raoh Gaiden (Reina): Bonfire

  • Raoh Gaiden (Final Battle): Lightseekers

  • Yuria Den (Yuria): Love and Fate - Yuria #2 (also ‘Hikari no Yukue’ for the different, vocal version)

  • Yuria Den (Shin): Decision - Shin #2

  • Toki Den (Toki): Yuki Kajiura - Hanamori No Oka

That Raoh helmet is 450,000 yen which came up as 4,600 dollars. Maybe I misread something but that is insanely expensive.
