Green Intern posted:It's not explained in the game (I think?), but Jagi wears that helmet because he and Ken already fought a while back. Ken kicked Jagi's rear end and disfigured his face, and Jagi uses the helmet plus some metal braces to literally keep his head from exploding after that encounter due to Ken's techniques. The visual to go with that:  You know that's gotta be a wicked headache 24/7. I like Jagi's visual design, especially in the helmet. He's like a cross between Mad Max and Lord Humongous plus some other elements. Most other characters in this series just look like generic barbarians or medieval cosplay enthusiasts with a dash of biker thrown in. marshmallow creep fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jul 22, 2016 |

The story with Shew is rather hosed up, but these martial arts are meant for killing and they are hardcore about their rules no matter the situation.

My favorite thing about the FOTNS setting in general is that the world was nuked into the punchmans apocalypse like a decade or so back, but everyone is practicing these ancient martial arts passed down for centuries. The implication is that all these people were training ther over-the-top murder techniques in normal modern Earth, then when society suddenly collapses into a might-makes-right hellscape, they're all like "GOD, FINALLY".

Turns out ancient magic temples are generally good fallout shelters. Generally. Bad luck, Toki!

Or maybe they're all normal sized and the apocalypse is full of midgets? Like Kenshiro is Tom Cruiser short.

Considering pressure points make people actually explode like a water balloon full of blood in this world, I'm sure there's all kinds of ridiculous ways they build man-mountains, too. We're operating under Crazy Biology rules.

Actually there's a prequel series called Fist of the Blue Sky that takes place in 1930's China, so basically they didn't even wait for society to collapse.

I think they went with the all-encapsulating "humanity is going to blow the world up it's inevitable." Notably the apocalypse in the original work takes place in 199X.

God help me I'm actually starting to kinda get into this ridiculous punchmans melodrama. I'm guessing Thouzer's thing is that he has no pressure points because he's some kind of mutant. Raoh strikes me as the kind of guy who would lack the real strength of character to face someone when his trump card won't apply, while Kenshiro has more humility and is much more flexible (like when he picked up Boulder Splitting Wave from Shin, which is a Nanto technique if I remember right) and so he's capable of learning and adapting without his crazy one-shot win button.

Woops, I was mistaken as to what you were quoting. Should not respond to things at like 4AM. You can go ahead and spoil it, ScaldingCoffee, they don't explain it in the game.

I remember the whole arc on the side of the pyramid being one of my favorite parts of the anime. The melodrama is so perfectly ham-fisted.

The story goes that the world got nuked by what may have been Not-Putin and the Oligarchs, people who expected to rule the world with their surviving military after destroying it. They were soon killed by Colonel, a member of the Russian Red Berets, who found out about their plan to end the world. He founded what eventually became God's Army. Thouzer was a real bastard to everyone. His star is Leadership, which makes the Nanto unable to defeat him. His "imperial blood" is really the condition of Dextrocardia situs inversus totalis. Thouzer first met Kenshiro as a boy who fought in the Nanto version of a kumite. Roah entered him to assess his potential. Child Kenshiro defeated 9 in a row and Shew was the last opponent. Shew won easily and was ordered by Thouzer to kill the boy as per Nanto law and Shew wanted none of that, and scratched his eyes in exchange to spare the boy. Shew got his star of Benevolence for that. The world ended some time later. Did you know that Shew had a son (Shiva) who saved Ken when Thouzer nearly killed him? He was killed for that. That final attack of Thouzer doing a handstand and leaping in the air that looked real awkward, was the result of his legs being paralyzed from Ken hitting his vital points. Thouzer also regularly supplied his slave labor with children, to build his mausoleum. Had them tortured and whipped by adult slave-drivers.

So, is Thouzer the Colonel with a new name, or are they different people and Thouzer took control of God's Army later?

The name of the groups are different. They are different people. Kenshiro defeated Colonel before he met the Fangs. Thouzer was top dog before the world ended.

So Kenshiro knew Ryuga from back in the day, but didn't know he was Yuria's brother? Or did he forget because stuff happened that blocked his memories of some things?

For a guy on his last legs, Toki sure is living for a long time with radiation sickness. Doesn't help he is moving through the irradiated wasteland.
