Fist of The North Star and the Mad Max series share a striking similarity with their focus on post-apocalyptic realities where survival is an intense daily struggle across endless deserts.
In an unexpected turn, Tetsuo Hara, the creator of Fist of The North Star, has taken inspiration from the Mad Max universe by illustrating the character of Furiosa before her upcoming prequel movie, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, hits theaters.
To mark its fortieth anniversary, Fist of The North Star is set to return to the anime scene with a new television series. Titled Fist of The North Star: Hokuto No Ken, the series does not yet have a confirmed release date.
According to Warner Bros. Japan, the story continues in a devastated environment where nuclear war has ravaged the Earth, leaving humanity in dire straits.
In this brutal post-apocalyptic society, survivors are divided into two groups: those who pillage and those who are exploited. Just when hope seems lost for the weak, a man named Kenshiro emerges.
Clad in tattered clothes and bearing the seven scars of Hokuto Shinken in the shape of the Big Dipper, he becomes a legendary savior, heading on a journey to protect the innocent.
The Official Warner Bros. Social Media Account recently shared new artwork by Tetsuo Hara, envisioning what Furiosa would look like if she existed in Kenshiro’s series. This crossover of characters and universes promises a fresh take on both franchises, blending their unique styles and narratives into a compelling new storyline.
