I've said this before, but this is why I prefer the movie's take on Souther to the manga's.

In the manga Kenshiro defeats him using an advanced technique designed to alleviate pain - to prove his mastery over his brother Toki's style - and Souther has this tearful spiritual reconnection with his deceased master (whose death is what brought about his descent into darkness), except it kinda falls flat because Souther's such an irredeemably vicious and arrogant dude that you can't quite buy his redemption through defeat.

In the movie Kenshiro defeats him in the same way but before the technique can take effect Souther just goes "NO ONE WILL DEFEAT THE EMPEROR" and kills himself, denying Kenshiro the chance to claim he bested him, which feels way more true to the character.

Hokuto no Ken: Ichigo Aji has the best Souther (and leg stabbing kid) and I cannot loving wait for it to air.

It's ridiculously popular in Japan, so definitely not some obscure mobile game. Like near Puzzle and Dragon levels iirc.

They made a lot of money from overseas as well in the US apparently.

The Godland Arc is great because it's the first step towards realizing pressure points are magic and punching them in the right order can basically do anything.

I can' t remember exactly where, but either in that arc or the one that follows, there's a guy Kenshiro forces to tell the truth by punching his truth-telling pressure points, after which he explodes anyway.

I don't and I'm quite happy about that. At least not the type where you make weird gurgling noises and call it moe. Clannad's faces are very off. I've been assured that the show is good but I just don't care for the art style. Mostly the faces.

I get the feeling I've just made an enemy of everybody in this thread.
