"Welcome to this crazy time and your a tough boy, tough boy!!! There are scars everywhere. If you just sit there crying , nothing will be changed. Tough Boy , Tough Boy!!"
Fist of the North Star 2 is the second series and the follow up the the most popular anime of all time. I am surprised none of the self proclaimed anime buffs have reviewed this.
(Spoilers).
The series takes places about 15 years since the events of the first series, with Ken defeating Boxing King and being reunited with Yuria.
However it seems that Ken and Yuria have disappeared and the legends that he , Toki, Shu, Shin , Sauza, the Fire Gang and and Rei have created have now been forgotten. In this time then evil resurfaces in the form of the Tenti army.
The Tenti army is another army that uses fear and terrorism to control the world. Rin and Batto, Ken's friends from the first series are all grown up now and have started their own rebellion called the Hokuto troops in Episode 1 titled
"Time begins to flow. The wheel of time is revolving"
We see their trials and turbulations as they try to adjust to life without Ken.
They put up a good fight but the Tenti army seems to have an edge. Ribako one of the characters from the first series, has a magical feeling that Ken will return and he is right, in the next episodes. "When will he wake up", "The Return of the Savior" we seen come back to form as the Fist of the North Star. Originally disguising his identity when he arrives on the scene, cannot stand idly by with Rin and Batto trying to fight an enemy that is very powerful.
Ken eventually gives the Tenti army all that they can handle and he meets some interesting new characters along the way. Faroouk is a former Tenti soldier ordered to kill Ken, but Ken and him becomes friends. We also see more history into the Hokuto school and learn and see new footage with Boxing King before he died.
The series is beautifully animated and just like in the first series, Toyoo Ashida, manages to throw more suspense and thrills as we get a couple of new revelations into the family of Ken.
We also see Ken battle into new and interesting scenarios like him on a pirate ship battling pirates ("Kenshiro sails the seven seas") and deadlier enemies.
We also get to see Rin and Batto become warriors and fight for the first time.
All in all, it's a great series and follow up to the first. It's currently only being released by Manga International but is actually bundled with the boxset of the whole series!!!
So check it out Fist of the North Stars you won't regret it.
