So what are the two mission bonuses you missed on this stage?

Oh, Mamiya. You could have been a fun character if you weren't being written by 80s shonen manga writers.

At some point, Ken becomes the weird outlier for not being an over-the-top screaming murder-lunatic.

This is the best thing I've ever seen.

From what I'm gathering, it seems to have deliberately been made wackier to make it more kid-friendly or something.

This game is basically God Hand, but unironically, and I love it.

So is Ken-oh so baller that he gets Ai wo Torimodose as his boss theme, or has every boss used it and I just didn't notice until now?

It's honestly appropriate for the first few stages to have really underwhelming boss fights. It takes like 20 episodes of the anime before Ken is more than vaguely inconvenienced by any of his enemies.

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".

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.

Thanks for this slice of punchman nostalgia and intro to what looks like a surprisingly solid game!
