The 11th episode, "The Man of Nanto," of the brand new anime series "Fist of the North Star," based on the popular manga "Fist of the North Star," will air on TOKYO MX and BS11 at 1 AM on June 5th.
Kenshiro and his companions arrived in the village after agreeing to guard it in exchange for looking after the children. Thanks to the abundant spring water, many crops grew in the village, and even flowers bloomed. As Kenshiro was looking at the scene, a woman named Mamiya appeared before him, who resembled his deceased lover, Yuria. Meanwhile, outside the village, a man so beautiful he could be mistaken for a woman was searching for a man with seven scars on his chest.
"Fist of the North Star" is a manga series written by Buronson and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" (Shueisha) from 1983 to 1988. Set in 199X, in a post-nuclear war world ruled by violence, it depicts the growth of Kenshiro, the successor to the legendary assassination martial art Hokuto Shinken, as he battles formidable opponents including his brother Raoh. The manga has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. It was adapted into a television anime in 1984, becoming a social phenomenon with famous lines such as "You are already dead." Theatrical anime films and OVAs (Original Video Animations) have also been produced.
The new anime will feature Shunsuke Takeuchi as Kenshiro, Daiki Yamashita as Bat, M・A・O as Rin, Koji Yusa as Shin, Saori Hayami as Yuria, Wataru Takagi as Jagi, Tsuguo Mogami as Toki, and Taiten Kusunoki as Raoh.
It airs every Friday at 1 AM on TOKYO MX and BS11, and is exclusively available worldwide on Prime Video. There are some differences in the direction between the Prime Video version and the television broadcast; the uncensored streaming version shows the violence and grotesque parts as they are. The milder version broadcast on television is suitable for all ages.
