The violent sequel to the original Fist of the North Star has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitle options. This 43-episode run, animated by Toei Animation, picks up where the first series left off, adapting chapters 137-210 of Buronson and Tetsuo Hara's iconic manga.
Fist of the North Star 2 continues the story of Kenshiro in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where he must battle new threats and confront the consequences of his past. Expect the signature over-the-top martial arts, gratuitous gore, and a healthy dose of body horror that defined the original series. The anime maintains its focus on Kenshiro's quest for justice and survival in a world ravaged by nuclear war.
While the original series concluded in 1987, its legacy has continued through OVAs, films, and manga sequels like New Fist of the North Star. This second television season, holding a 7.6 rating on MyAnimeList, offers fans a chance to revisit the classic shonen action or dive into the franchise's grim, muscular world.
