rdfs:comment
  • A second one-shot, titled Hokuto no Ken II, was published in the June 1983 issue of Fresh Jump. Both pilots were collected in the second collected volume of Tetsu no Don Quixote (Tetsuo Hara's prior manga series before Hokuto no Ken). The plot of the second pilot follows from the first, with a slightly older Kenshiro (wearing a Mad Max-type leather costume similar to that of the later series) aiding a pair of escaped Taizan assassins and battling the Taizanji's ultimate assassin, Kinbu Baiken.

  • A second one-shot, titled Hokuto no Ken II, was published in the June 1983 issue of Fresh Jump. Both pilots were collected in the second collected volume of Tetsu no Don Quixote (Tetsuo Hara's prior manga series before Hokuto no Ken). The plot of the second pilot follows from the first, with a slightly older Kenshiro (wearing a Mad Max-type leather costume similar to that of the later series) aiding a pair of escaped Taizan assassins and battling the Taizanji's ultimate assassin, Kinbu Baiken. Tetsuo Hara has stated that he came up with the idea of Hokuto no Ken from his editor Nobuhiko Horie. According to Hara, Horie suggested to him that he should draw a manga about "a martial artist who destroys his opponents by striking their acupressure points" based on Hara's wishes to draw a martial arts manga and his knowledge of pressure points.
