SUCH A LONESOME NIGHTTTTTT
Fist of the North star
>Check out the manga, it's even better than the anime.
I actually read the manga quite some time ago. And while I enjoyed it alot, I just feel that the voice acting and ost give it much more power.
>The only thing I don't like about it is that the villains redeem themselves before dying by giving an explanation for what they did
I found that to be the great part. Everyone has a reason (except Jagi, he is an asshole). And that went only for the martial artists. The average villains like Jackal, Colonel, Uighur, boss fang and etc. didn't get any sympathy from Kenshiro. I think it's a thing between martial artists, as they understand eachother much better than the regular people understand them, thus they will forgive/accept some enemies before they die. And it's not like it redeems them.
>Shin did alot of horrible shit because he was blinded by love.
>Souther was a dick but that's only because he shut himself off from love. Kenshiro didn't really forgive him, as much as acknowledged him.
>Ryuga killed Toki to activate Kenshiro's sadness power.
>Raoh was based and thus was forgiven.
>Amiba and Jagi got no acknowledgement or compassion.
>Rei forgave Yuda because well both of them were dying and Yuda admitted that he always admired Rei.
Most of them don't even regret what they did. They just straight up say that they have no regrets and that they are fine with dying.
Yes, HNK 2 is bullshit.
SOUSA AI SURU HITO NIWA TOKI WA NAGARE
OP and others. What was your favorite moment, arc and character?
DRY YOUR TEARS
My favorite moment was when it showed how Shin survived. It's so weird seeing a shonen character getting a redemption arc 70 episodes after he is dead. Favorite arc was Souther arc. This shit was straight up biblical. When Shu carried that stone up and it moved everyone from the people to the soldiers. That was some powerful stuff. And god giving him his sight back just to see Kenshiro one last time was really nice. Favorite character was Juza (though Rei is also up there). Juza had a sad backstory, he was a lovable rouge with awesome personality and fighting style. Him keeping on fighting after his death was a powerful moment and the way his blood reflected the sky after he bleed out, was the most kino moment of the show.
DO SURVIVE
Who owns the rights to the English license of the manga. Any chances of Dark Horse picking it up and re-releasing it as a hardcover edition like with Berserk and Hellsing?
Juza's arc was a masterpiece. Dude picks a fight with the toughest bastard in the show, calls him a dick, breaks his favorite hat, steals his horse, and rides away.
