Hokuto no Ken Discussion Thread

Dio in his arrogance would probably underestimate kenshiro. By the time he resorted to stopping time, his vital points would’ve been hit.

“The WORLD!! Now i’ve got you…damn w-why can’t i move?!..”

Ofcourse then dio could just order his stand to appear and attack in his place, but once his head explodes, the stand goes away along with him.

Winner: Kenshiro!

Plus ken, if unable to move or land a hit on his opponent, has a move where he can project his energy outward like a projectile to strike the vital points for him(seen in the 2D fighter). Not sure if he has to assume the stance to make it work or not.

I used to see your avatar all the time, it always brought a little smirk to my face, especially if I was in the school library or something.

… and you de-lurk to discuss JoJo? The singer?

I just finish part 5 two months ago. Now on part 7 (Steel Ball Run) vol.5 which is awesome.

I demand to see Kira (Death Note) vs. Kira (Part 4’s Villain).

I’m pretty sure putting your fingertips out counts as assuming a stance…:wonder:

DID I HEAR HOKUTO NO KEN?

The new movies are too godly. I don’t even know where to start…

It does for him, the “ultimate” stance of Hokuto, its supposed to be.

i have been reading steel ball run.
dont know if that counts. its pretty god IMO

can some one explain to me why it is that josef gets his stand when he is an old man?
you guys ever notice that stroheim (german nazi guy, part two) looks a lot like guile
is it just me was is CARS like twice as strong as dio?

Yea, SBR is in fact, JoJo related.

HnK2 = DBGT IMO except less sucky and with less plotholes.

rock the Shu av first…

^mizuki u had a shuu av? bring it out yo

on chap 2 now, man, Dio is a dick, a smart one though O.O

Does Souten no Ken get better? I saw maybe 3 episodes and didn’t like it.

chapter 2 is awesome. as you will soon find out

wait till u see. guile shows up you cant miss him

Dio would fuck up Light from Death Note and everyone else. I know that much. Kenshiro would of course be too fast for Dio to stop time on.

Enrico Pucci’s stand owns all though. Stairway to Heaven. Would you even want to fight a stand that’s named that. I need to read some more of part 7 though.

On chapter 7 now, aftermath of Danny was :sad:, this shit’s getting serious from the beginning, too good lol.

You should see Steel Ball Run’s Stroheim

Its definitely got a different flow to it than Hnk. More story and drama than fighting.

Once again, I hear the manga SnK is much better, since they had to cut a lot of stuff out and tone down fights to condense it into a small series. Only problem is I don’t think anyone translates the manga, and no company’s picked it up either(probably due to previous Hokuto manga failures, more due to the actual company translating it then Hokuto just not being successful)

I think Rajin comics/Gutsoon did tranlates it up to four volumes before the company went out of business.:sad:
