New artwork of Raoh, Toki & Jagi with white backgrounds. I couldn't fine one of the newest art of Kenshiro. These are for the 2026 Fist Of The North Star anime. Note the character art will likely not be the same in the actual anime.

Newly released key visuals for Fist Of The North Star 2026. Featuring Kenshiro & his brothers Jagi, Toki & Raoh. The actual anime will likely not look like this.

From God Sider Chapter 61. The story has been alright. Lots of fighting & great art but so much happens at a brisk pace. I'll probably finish it tomorrow; Monday.

I don't think I have a favorite character in Dragon Ball but I am completely mesmerized by Super Saiyan 3 Goku. As typical or shallow an answer, I just really like the design. It just looks masculine to me. I also found Buu a very refreshing villain since he's uses gag manga abilities for evil.

I re-read all of Dragon Ball for the past two weeks. I think my favorite arcs go like this. Unfortunately, DB isn't a top 20 favorite for me but it's always gonna be a part of me somewhere. Saiyan Demon King Piccolo Buu Namek 23rd Budokai 22nd Budokai Android Red Ribbon Journey to the Dragon Balls

Waiting for Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc Season 3 to finally get here. It's definitely looking like a 2026 release window.

Sanji cooks with the power of Hokuto Shinken!!! 🔥🔥😤

I've been on a quest on rewatching/rereading anime & manga. It's something that's been bugging me over the years so I decided to attempt a coherent list before I venture into new anime & manga. Naturally, this also affected my favorite characters. Even so, some things may change.

youtu.be/G9kxyE8Cv6o Here's my newest YouTube video "Explaining Why Fist Of The North Star 2026 is disappointing.". It's 17 minutes long & filled with both bias bickering & logical observations. I also briefly address other cgi anime that actually look good.

Berserk Golden Age Memorial Edition was released in 2022. This adaptation was an episodic format of the Berserk Golden Age Trilogy films. Animation was updated in some sequences including the addition of the "Campfire Of Dreams" chapter in EP5. This scene was absent in the trilogy.

On Feb 27, 2016, Shibuya Productions released a teaser for a new Cobra anime called "Cobra The Return Of Joe Gillian". It would've depicted the Rugball Arc. This anime was never released & likely cancelled. Instead, Mangouste Anim have plans to make a new adaptation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=54kN...

youtu.be/NzU5b2YymCE Last week's video; "Finally! Fist Of The North Star at Anime Expo 2025." On Sep 12, 2023, Warner Bros Japan confirmed a new anime adaptation for FOTNS. Nearly 2 years later, we finally got an update.

youtu.be/aMysPmfTlfE New video on my Youtube channel. "Baki-Dou's anime release date is..."

English Baki The Grappler volumes 1 & 2. $20 per volume. So far 2 vols at a time. This edition will narrow down the 42 vol count into 24 vols. This manga is Baki part 1 which was used in the 2001 anime adaptation. Amazon Vol 1 www.amazon.com/Baki-Grapple... Vol 2 www.amazon.com/Baki-Grapple...

Tsurugi Momotaro from the anime Sakigake!! Otokojuku. His friends call him Momo. He's the head of the 1st year students of the Otokojuku school. He tends to be very relaxed & stoic but his fighting spirit awakens when his friends are in danger or challenged to a death fight.

Toru Rikiishi from Ashita No Joe. He served as Joe's rival & friend. Rikiishi tragically dehydrated himself to fight Joe. Instead of Megalobox, the plan was to make a Rikiishi anime but Yo Moriyama wasn't confident in making a good story. However, he drew concept art prior to the cancellation.

Blue The Cyber Being from Cyber Blue. Blue is a fusion of a young boy marksman & the machine Fatso. Blue is capable of adapting his body with technology. Cyber Blue was a short manga that never got an anime adaptation. He received a modern action figure by Storm Collectibles in 2024.

Duke Togo's real alias is the sniper Golgo 13. He's considered "the pro among pros" in the criminal underworld. He charges $3 million per job & he's never failed. Golgo is a cold yet passionate killer. He's dutiful, meticulous & proficient. The last Golgo 13 anime adaptation was in 2008.

Lupin The IIIrd is the film series directed by Takeshi Koike. This iteration debuted Lupin's blue jacket. Oddly, he hasn't worn it since the first film Jigen's Gravestone yet it can be briefly seen in Goemon's Bloodspray. Since then, Lupin has worn a black jacket but he mainly remains in a shirt.

Kenshiro is the 64th successor of Hokuto Shinken; The Divine Fist Of The North Star. Kenshiro uses this assassination fist to protect the oppressed from bandits & tyrannical rulers. His heart bears love and sorrow which becomes his source of strength. He's the definitive manly hero archetype.

King Suguru aka Kinnikuman from the anime Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc. He's the de facto shonen hero of Burning Inner Strength & Friendship Power. Kinnikuman is cowardly yet benevolent. He desires a peaceful resolution with any antagonist whom most have become his friends.

My profile picture isn't Kenshiro but his uncle; Kasumi Kenshiro. Why? Because Kasumi Kenshiro is from Fist Of The Blue Sky. Images are from unknown pachinkos.
