Hokuto no Ken Discussion Thread

I think they actually got up to volume 10 before they cut it off =(, as I know the Master Volume goes up to vol 10, but I also think there was sporadic releases of the Hokuto manga in black and white too, but so scattered it’d be pointless to try and assemble a cohesive english set :sad:

Everybody got Stand’s(Including Joseph) in part 3 as a result of Dio’s reemergence.Probably also had something to do with the fact that he was using Jonathon’s body.

If I’m not mistaken, Guile was in part influenced by Stoheim. Also, Rose is based on a JoJo character from Part 2 aswell. There’s other references to Jojo in Capcom titles aswell. They are big fans of the work.

oH My GoD!!

Jojo’s was sick(manga), I’m trying to get into the Hnk anime…I’m at episode 5 or six rite now…I forget.

is HNK2 any good? I want to know before I download it. all I know is that WE ARE LIVIN! LIVE IN THE NINETIES!! WE STILL FIGHT! FIGHT IN THE NINETIES!!

was? Isn’t Jojo still going on? :confused:

Yea. I’m sure he’s not aware of it, however. Araki is very much still active in the manga-world. Steel Ball Run is the current manga (JoJo related storyline), and he does various other work for anime/manga, and games and other random shit.

OH I didnt know it was still going…lol
I stopped after the shadow dio/Vanilla ice saga. I knew there was more though.

yup ripple user, josefs mom (forgot her name)

shes got the scarf and every thing

It’s aight I suppose.

HnK 2 wasn’t supposed to happen,but it did because the series still was popular even after it ended

AND WE’RE TOUGH BOYS TOO! Weeeeeee!

Yeah i liked the other two intros of Hnk a lot better, like this one:

Curious about the Shin Hokuto No Ken ovas, are they any good? Hear they leave a lot to be desired, I know it’s based on a one shot side story that takes place after HNK2, was wondering what the thoughts were on it

The OVA’s are sick, more violent, gore wise

Finally found a link for Snk manga!

thread on the well known heart of madness fansite, which also has the HnK pilot translated to english, along with most of the HnK manga, and atm two of the japanese side story mangas

HnK2 sorta expands on stuff from HnK but makes you go “Huh?” at times. Still a good series though

jojos is the shit

i really want to finish part 6 :sad:

haha. I’m mad that Silent Survivor owns those songs but they are very good. Heart of Madness is the best HNK song ever though.

On to Jojo’s, IMO my favorite series in order so far:

Series 3
Series 1
Series 7
Series 5 aka GioGio’s (incompleted)
Series 2
Series 6 (incompleted)
Series 4

I like them all but 4 wasn’t that good to me. I liked Josuke’s stand though. Honestly, up until part 6, Jojo’s started to get a lil less manly. And got real metrosexual for a while. It still managed to kick ass regardless.

One more thing I just want to throw out there randomly. I think Kakyoin woulda became a broken stand user if they didn’t kill him off. Dio said to him at the time of Stardust Crusaders that he was probably the best stand user besides him at the time. And of course next to Jotaro.

IIRC, 5 was indeed completed. Check the site. Speaking of faves, 4 was definitely one of mine. I really enjoyed that arc.

4 is my absolute favorite. i love the stands and i really really like kira’s character design.
