Hokuto No Ken all Fatal KO's and full Opening / Intro

Intro and Fatal KO moves for all characters for the arcade and PS2 game:
Hokuto No Ken / Sinpan-no Sousousei Kengo-Retsuden
北斗の拳
Fist Of The North Star
This is one of my favorite fighters and I find the special moves to be some of the most original I have ever seen in a beat 'em up.
I also really like that the game sticks real close to the original 1986 Movie, in the way of style, looks and moves.
Also in case anybody is interested, this is running on the pcsx2 emulator and I must tip my hat to those guys.

[@michealgignac2960]

For those of you who don't know, Fist of the Big Dipper, er, North Star started out way back in 1983. It had a big impact on a lot of Japanese works. For instance, Street Fighter has Vega/Balrog and Bison/Vega using moves and mannerisms based off of Yuda, and Chun-Li's One Hundred Crack Kick is based off of Kenshirou's One Hundred Crack Fist. All things considered, it would be hard to think up Japanese works that haven't been influenced by Hokuto No Ken.

[@Pyroniusburn]

Also vega/balrog has the same japanese voice actor (not that there's different voice actors in SFII) as Rei from HnK which is fucking awesome.

[@lGummyWorml]

Also the name of Kenshiro's teacher is Ryuken. Also the show had both Haggar and Rolento. Cappycom likes HnK. :P

[@hyogaiceheart]

***** For sure, but I also think he's got a little bit of sonny chiba going on, like a mix of Bruce lee and Sonny Chiba.

[@vguyver2]

+hyogaiceheart Don't forget he has Sylvester Stallone's hair and jaw line, and the resemblance is unmistakable with the sunglasses Kenshiro wears at times. All the while this character is dressed like Mad Max [Mel Gibson].

[@dubbzy92]

It also influence DBZ's high intensity fighting

[@harrydrake4173]

Kunihiro Kawamoto sounds just like Akira Kamiya. He should've become the voice of Kenshiro in the modern HNK anime.

[@AJ15ist]

Harry Drake Or the Hokuto Musou games for that matter.

[@anniedemano]

I always try to imagine how big Raoh's horse is.

[@Bretillia]

I think in the anime they said it was slightly smaller than an elephant.

[@bobbilly7232]

The manga also states it's about the size of an elephant.

[@DIOBrando-ur5we]

Its said to be as big as an elephant

[@tundeuk]

Raoh’s horse is awesome

[@vopop30]

Like we really needed to see Yuda in nothing but a speedo again.

[@YudaHnK]

Yes

[@ChronoPhoenix]

forgot shin's suicide when he fights against ken. it's a secret fatal ko.

[@ryo1999]

Wow!! Epic stuff!!! The closing Hokuto Hyakuretsuken is, IMO, the most exciting "hundred crack fist" sequence ever done.

[@waynedrake8925]

'Oasis' goes so well with the intro. Good job! ;)

[@ClementineFlFlFl]

LoL Rei vs Mamiya

[@jedibattlemasterkos]

Just putting these hos back in check.

[@user-uw4rs4dr1c]

Natasha Warside Mamiya Is Not Rapiest ! Mamiya Is My Love & Mamiya Is My Wife and Life . K

[@IAmTheChozenOne54]

I love how Heart's big badass finisher is just a bitch-slap to the face.

[@VinchVolt]

0/10 Raoh didn't shoot his soul into heaven when Kenshiro KO'd him.

[@dionstephens8226]

Kens special move is sick

[@Michael-jj4ol]

+Dion Stephens oah tatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata oa ta!!!!!!! XDD

[@MrTheil]

+Rouenne I love how his Hokuto Hyakurestu Ken is litterally a 100 hit combo since the special move literally means "Hundred Crack Fist of The North Star"

[@ObviousMcDerp]

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Omae wa mo Shinderu

[@shinji5217]

[@fuzzydunlop1753]

Heart is fat, Jagi hates Ken, Hokuto Ujou Hananken.

[@wolfan20]

WATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!!!

[@vicepresidentfru1tly]

Awesome how they kept the original music for the fatal ko's. That and Ken's ATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!

[@ultralordd7625]

For Rei, instead of perfect, it should have been pervert👽👍

[@kento2851]

damn raoh's finisher is the best man

[@fgc_teavirus9438]

kento delmonte mawaribuchi That shit is so manly.

[@SH2K9]

XD LMAO The specials/Fatal moves are epic-priceless!!! I LOVE the authenticity!!!!

[@zabethjohnson]

Wow.. this game looks beautiful! Look at all the detail!! I wanna play ;_;

[@vinicius_nunes]

Beautiful way to finish the video. Nicely done !!!

[@randomusprime]

Thanks for posting this. I have the game but haven't seen every single KO! :)

[@RealParadoxBlues]

It's interesting how many of the moves are moments straight from the series (Raoh's antiair counter, Shin and Jagi's Fatal KOs, just about everything Jagi uses for that matter...).

[@ZPlasmodium]

Yuda's Walking Animation Is Hilarious.

[@mikiroony]

Aww no exploding fatal KO's Ken? I am disappoint :D

[@laughingkars889]

I say to my kids at night: "your already for bed" they still don't know what I'm on about....

[@Namodrive888]

The Song in the background is : Tiesto - Flight 643 (Paul B and Subwave Remix) Your all welcome

[@peesmit6756]

thanks yooouuuu soooo much tried to find this for years

[@KornmanUNstoppable]

I have discovered over many hours of gameplay in training that some of the fatal KO's can be juggled into

[@Lenrir59]

'Of This Life I Have Not A Single Regret!' -Punches The Skies And 'Practically' Punches The Heavens- That is burned into my memory forever, I have never seen such a brilliant death of a character ever.

[@EDGar-wi6np]

Epicness overload @1:18

[@emp100k]

Heart is in the game (really minor character) but no Shuu? I'm hurt...

[@KoruKinshi]

emp100k Shuu would've been nice for sure.

[@VideoGameMasters09]

emp100k yeah I'm surprised Heart is in this. he dies in like 2 episodes, he even dies in this game's intro. doesn't even live long enough to meet most of the characters in the game other than Shin and Ken.

[@GodMaxDrinkerofTea]

KoruKinshi i think you mean for _shuure_

[@KoruKinshi]

MaxPlayAll Ayyyyyyy

[@rons4620]

heart is not at all a minor character

[@djmemoirs]

Shin's Fatal KO . . . SICK!

[@jenova9]

BRILLIANT!!!! XD very well done! good quality too!

[@Erenas]

thx for the video that was nice ^^

[@gc3k]

I forgot this was originally released on Atomiswave (Dreamcast hardware for arcade), it should have gotten a post-mortem DC port

[@VJ87G]

I'm digging that music.

[@DylanFromAZ]

I love how the game references every single moment

[@Wallcrawler]

Especially when that music hits!!! It gets me all pumped up, it's like watching your favorite football team score a touchdown.

[@Bombastic0013]

These fatalities were great! ;)

[@joen.8668]

Heart is always my hero.

[@VJ87G]

I still remember this.

[@BlackStarGabusGaben]

I was about to complain about the techno (I think) music and that I wouldn't get to hear the awesome "You Wa Shock" fatal KO music. Thankfully you did let it play so thanks for that ^_^

[@greatestsaiyaman]

Awesome vid showing off the many moves and the game of Hokuto No Ken. Where have you obtain the rom for the game from?

[@notdante1151]

2:26 Jesus Christ now that is a bltch slap!

[@isaachernandez1472]

i really like the intro music!

[@dracullaboy]

Thanks man

[@klombernzx]

Thanks man.

[@OutsandingMan2007]

I like Rei attacks when he fights. specially the fatal K.O rocks man.

[@shinra358]

I like mamiya's super with the motorcycle. Geez, that horse is HUUUUGE!

[@annjacannja]

Did you mix this song with the HNK intro? If so congrats! It really fits! One could think this song was made for the intro

[@xaero007]

Thanks a lot :)

[@dest151]

why didn't sega bring this to the u.s?????this would bring sega up. why???

[@emptystomach3099]

Published by Sega, and now the license belongs to Koei Tecmo I think

[@LeandroCavalcanteLeandrw]

Beautiful

[@blackdeadtree1]

nice one rei

[@airwolfman]

Thanks.

[@LaytonWrigth]

7:22 Wait wait, does that skill make the enemy explode if the time passes? Like the manga? O_O

[@HEHEHE_I_AM_A_MASKED_WARRIA]

Yes, after twenty seconds. However, Souther is immune to it.

[@Ryushaori]

Those Rei moves on mamiya. Gooold hahaha

[@Duskaria]

First Reaction: "Wow, Heart is in this?"

[@drhploveboat]

4:10 hell yeah that's what I call a win!

[@DatKakashii]

I must play this game!!!

[@blackent049]

i can't believe i never played this game. it looks like a classic!

[@zillafire101]

Where the heck is Shu?

[@Doraiadowwww404]

STORM LORD too soon bro..

[@Bloodlyshiva]

It's not a lie; You don't see it in this collection because you don't see the stage, but Shu's in the background of Souther's stage, in front of the giant pyramid, carrying the capstone to the top.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

+Bloodlyshiva SHUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!! -Kenshiro

[@Suzakuhelldragon]

The Pyramid comes from a moment in the series where Souther was ruling over the poor with an iron fist, forcing them (even women and children) to build a pyramid in honor of the man who taught him martial arts. When it was nearing completion, he forced a key character to place the final piece at the top. If he failed, Souther would kill all the children. When this character reached the top, he through a spear at him to guarantee he would fail. The top of the pyramid fell, crushing the man.

[@breezethe27thassassin3]

Shu

[@morphattack]

The Dungeonmaster's Guide - Flight 643 (Paul B & Subwave Remix) thank you!

[@TheMetallicats1984]

wow nice fatal ko, im a huge fan of anime and video game

[@hobosorter]

Really dig the fatality music.

[@rey666xyz]

found it... I cant wait to play =)

[@user-pu5te8xz4q]

I love this game

[@LazyWorkCreations]

that was so unexpected when that happened, caught me off guard at the fact that that got in and stayed in. I don't think it was even shown in the Mangga even.

[@numanuma250]

Kenshiro's final K.O, awesome lol...just awesome.

[@SamuraiFreak927]

The "Fatal KO" song I usually hear playing after the end credits of any HNK episode, where they were talking about the next episode coming up. It may have been played during the show, IDK.

[@gsm1091]

ohh, that makes more sense, i've never seen the movie, should probably see it

[@MPdub]

@bigmelo19 I believe it stems from the original series where she and Rei are lovers. After a fight to the death with Yuda, Rei is also mortally wounded. After Rei dies, Kenshiro sets the house that Rei died in ablaze so that no one will see his body. So basically it shows the house which her lover died in, burning.

[@kuugarx100]

ONE OF THE BEST FINISHING MOVES IN THE FIGHTING GAMES LIKE THE FATALITY

[@kenmastersSF3]

If anyone's wondering what the Drum & Bass tune playing through the video is it's by Paul B ft. Tiesto Flight 643 & Subwave Remix if you copy and paste that on to the KZbin search bar you'll find the video. ^_^ I got this game and i got to say i love it to bits, just really wish i could of got a 1st print edition though but oh well as long as i'm playing i'm happy!!

[@ColdStorms]

I really wish that they make another one with some additional characters like Shu and Ryuuga and many others

[@MPdub]

@SilentStalkerX That clip is Indeed from the series. That fight with Raoh takes place before the fight Yuda. Rei looses to Roah but isn't killed - Raoh hits Rei with a Hokuto Shinken technique to hit one of his key pressure points. He looses the fight and is fatally wounded but doesn't die. Rather he has an indeterminate time to survive. He later fights Yuda which is what actually kills him, good and proper.

[@Vladislak]

@Vladislak Add that to the fact that the Manga pretty much explicitly states that it was Raoh's technique that killed him (I'm pretty sure the anime did too but I'd have to check it to be sure). Also, it's probably important to note that Yuda was outmatched fighting Rei from the very beginning, which is why as soon as he started losing he resorted to dirty tricks (like flooding the battle arena).

[@IncessantWake]

Never knew they made a game of this. It looks like something that came from SNK. Who made this game?

[@8MKWeb8]

3:56 You stay classy, Japan.

[@Lenrir59]

Love what Raoh and Kenshiro say at the end. Kenshiro: Ni-San. (Brother)

[@RealParadoxBlues]

It's "You A Shock", one of the opening themes. It's also the song used in the game's opening (Dubdesign swapped it out for this vid).

[@drunkdragon12888]

So I know the music used for the introduction is Oasis by Gackt, but how did you find one without the lyrics?

[@Bamskrull]

jagi's fatal KO is awsome. he's just stood there laughing at the person as they burn XD

[@Dogsplaza]

4:04 to 4:20... I wish I had a special power like that...lol... The cool thing about Kenshiro is that he was the influence for Billy Lee in Double Dragon. Awesome!

[@WeskerSega]

When exactly was the Hokuto No Ken beat 'em up (the Bandai game I suppose you mean) released for the Dreamcast? It was PS1-only if I'm not mistaken.

[@KillerCrackInACan]

oh my god what's the name of the song whenever they fatal ko happens? I've had it stuck in my head for like a week. and it's just the same part over and over

[@dryingcloth3660]

Heart, Of course! Introduce a character by blowing him up in the intro! XD

[@NightPonyGaming]

Which version of the game is the opening taken from? Its a really nice song but I cant find it anywhere else but here.

[@lambda494]

They really need to remake this. JoJo fans, DBZ fans, Guilty Gear fans...everyone would love it.

[@RyukendenY]

Kickass song when you get Fatal KOed.

[@MysticTaco9]

Heart, keepin that pimp hand strong since 85'

[@theforestero]

very nice ,gallant god fighter...

[@SharPhoe]

Got it, thank you. Not sure how seeds are deadly, though...

[@SH2K9]

Question, how come in the opening when (based on the bottom kanji) it seems like they're supposed to be playing the original series theme "Ai wo Torimodose" but instead there's a loop of the opening orchestrated music from the "New Fist of the North Star" ending theme?

[@CloudStrifeZX]

what´s the name of the song you used for the gameplay (before showing the fatal KO´s?)

[@LongBeach2SanDiego]

yes, it's here in arcade form. they have it in la habra heights, ca at arcade infinity.

[@iluminaticonfirmado513]

6:49 epic

[@rohleks]

i need to play this game omg omg omg never knew it existed what a manly game

[@OtakuGamerVibe]

This game is extremely radical!!!

[@ThePsychoguy]

This game looks so fun. It looks soooo 90s.

[@ComicalConqueror]

It actually IS Raoh's attack that kills him. That's why he goes into the (hopefully abandoned) house before he dies because he doesn't want Mamiya to see him asplode.
