Editing Fist of the North Star (section)

==Fist of the North Star and /tg/==
Fist of the North Star is considered one of the only manga/anime works that /tg/ will openly tolerate, and that is ''fucking'' unique. Probably because it's widely considered ''fucking awesome'' and 100% distilled manliness, <s>despite</s> including the fact that its main character screams like a version of Bruce Lee crossed with [[Doomrider]] when attacking.

Suffice to say, there's a few amusing examples of Fist of the North Star's influence on /tg/. 

One of several commanders of the [[Manly Marines]] is a reference to Kenshiro.

There's a MTG card that reference's Kenshiro's famous catchphrase "You are already dead".

Additionally, the infamous Ranger build, which /tg/ used to break [[4e]] ''before it even came out'', [[Kenshiro Cascadero "Rattata" Orcuslayer]], is named for Kenshiro.

If this isn't enough, several [[DM]]s have run humorous and hilarious campaigns in GURPs and d20 Modern by using Fist of the North Star as an example. The combination of a post-apocalyptic world and the fact that the martial arts the protagonists and antagonists use is a form that makes people [[Deathstrike Missile Launcher|explode]] (unless they are using ''Nanto Seiken'', in which case it tears them apart in a matter similar to an [[Eversor]]) is a bit of curiosity that has never truly gotten old. The [[Monk]] also has the famous ''Quivering Palms'', which allows you to punch someone and activate a save-or-die killing blow, either now or in a few days.

An ongoing bit of interest is that many of the villains in HNK seem to fall into the archetypes put forth by Chaos champions in the WHFB and WH40K universes. Raoh's martial prowess, ludicrously high body count, desire for conquest and massive strength are all indication of a [[Khorne|Khornate]], though Raoh falls into the category of a Warhammer Fantasy pre-[[Matt Ward]] Khornate in that he's actually coherent, careful, and intelligent (so a azn Hrafn Untam). Shin's manipulation and ultimately setting things for Raoh's downfall are indicative of a [[Tzeentch]]ian champion, Juda's self-indulgence and hedonism make him indicative of a [[Slaanesh]]i Champion, and the world being a radiation-flooded hell-hole makes the bulk of the HNK world a praise to the [[Nurgle|Plaguefather]]. 

In turn, this means that HNK has the approval of all four Chaos Gods, ''as well as'' of the other races - Kenshiro being [[Space Marines|a good example of humanity in that he is both noble, good-hearted, and flawed]], Mamiya being [[Tau|an idealist willing to fight for a common cause]], Rei being [[Imperial Guard|willing to fight overwhelming odds despite the fact that it will result in his doom]], Amiba being [[Dark Eldar|a douchebag who's in it for his own diabolical ends]], Juza [[Orks|being in it primarily for the lulz]], and the teeming masses of mooks being [[Tyranid|willing to throw themselves at the various heroes in villains out of the desire to bring them low for their own survival]].

Next time playing [[Dark Sun]] try to convince your [[DM]] to allow you to play as a [[Monk]]. Extra points everytime you use Quivering Palms on someone and inform that they are already dead.

So, yeah. [[/tg/]] likes this.
