Unskippable: Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage

[nipsen]

Wow. The entire sequence lasts about... six minutes in the anime. Except it has a few more scene shifts, doesn't make Kenshiro look like a creep, and actually is narratively logical.

So.. I mean.. I can see why they made the sequence longer, and jumbled all the events together in the game. Makes sense.

 

[LadyRhian]

Can anybody tell me why Ken has a hole in his boob? Um, MANly chest? That's all I could see in those distance shots.

 

[2xDouble]

Great episode. But something that bugged me... What's up with that dude's arms? I get they're supposed to be all muscly/ripply and whatever, but the definition lines (which seemed to be like 2 inches deep) didn't move when he moved, like they were painted, molded plastic... are lighting and shadow effects really that difficult?

I suppose out of everything going on (and not going on), pointing out that the fake guy looks fakest among fake guys might be a little low on the list...

Points for the popeye reference.

Have a cookie.

 

[YodaUnleashed]

My God this game looks so awful, how could anyone create something so crappy and not realise or want to realise. I mean, who writes this stuff and thinks it's good and more importantly who buys it and thinks its good to keep allowing them to make crap like this. I suppose it's at least ripe for the Unskippable bludgeoning that it most certainly asks for.

MORE or you're already dead...

Argh. sorry post-fail (delete if poss.)

Another character (Shin) poked them into his chest in the shape of the little bear [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursa_Minor]. Hence his name [...Little Bear, is a constellation in the northern sky...]

Those scars are what make him famous and recognizable. His evil brother (Jagi) has some fake ones done too, to try and leech of his famous brothers reputation.

 

[halkun]

Actually, he has 5 holes, three in his chest and two in his gut where a guy dug his fingers into his body. (can't find the scene on the youtubes)

EDIT - found it Shin did the Nanto Sei Ken on him

i'd like some water too.
but it has to be the same flavour as that prison-water.

Thanks. For a moment there, I thought he'd been shot and someone had forgotten to spackle the hole afterwards.

So its Mad Max meets Roadhouse meets...Psychonauts?

I knew those goggles seemed familiar!

Well, it doesn't change the fact that that kid is clearly a massive ponce, but still.

 

[Jman1236]

The kid is named "Bat". The cutscene is based on the first episode where Ken and Bat are thrown into jail for taking water from the village, well Bat did but Ken didn't know since he was dying of thirst. The whole cage thing never happened.

 

[The Great JT]

One cutscene and not a single punch thrown? I am very disappointed in you, Kenshiro.

 

[Number-14]

I loved when you giggled when the narrator say's " but " *giggles*

And the whole water cup thing XD

3:59-4:06

...I need an adult

(and funny pop-eye joke guys!)

 

[Tzekelkan]

I'm disappointed that no one punched anything in the video at all. Those bars at the end didn't count, they looked like wusses to me.

Funny video, though kinda short! I was ready to bet there were going to be a few more minutes of horrible, horrible cutscene after the jailbreak.

 

[emeraldrafael]

This seems like the kinda game you could enjoy simply cause you could do this for the cut scenes.

Anyway, I liked it, but it begs the question, why if he could bend the bars like that did he not just bend the bars when he was in the cage in the first place.

And, assuming those motorcyclists were the ones that put him in the cage, thjen in the cell, why are the townspeople now fighitng them? What do they struggle and toil each time those guys come by just to get their asses kicked and have prisoners but in the cell anyway?

Meet's awesome Kung-Fu that makes people explode, slices them to pieces, etc.

Here, watch what is essentially Japan's entire 80's compressed into about 1.5 minutes.
Also horrible 240p quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n371zCCYpts

And here's what I think is a Hokuto: Hyakuretsu Ken, though it may be a variation on "Hokuto Ujou Mosho Ha." This is from Shin Hokuto no Ken.

Apologies if I was rude.
