Boys who don't love bloody fighting comics? How many people still remember the former "Big Dipper God Fist"?
When I grew up and relived "Big Dipper God Fist", its shock was far more intense than when I was a child.
In 199X, the world was baptized by nuclear weapons, and most of human civilization was destroyed. However, humanity did not perish because of this, and a small number of people still survived, living in a world that was ruled by violence.
Kenjiro, a hokuto descendant, was originally friends with The Nandou Lone Vulture Fist, but Hee-eun was instigated to snatch Kenjiro's fiancée, Yulia, and left seven scars on kenjiro's body after defeating kenjiro. After this defeat, Kenjiro seemed to have returned from hell and embarked on the road to seek revenge.
On the other hand, the Hokuto Shinken has always been a single son, but in this era, the Hokuto Sect has three descendants who are qualified to inherit the Hokuto Shinken, and Kenjiro has to face the two elder brothers who were once beloved. Beidou and Nandou, friendship and love, violence and love, intersect to form the world of the storm at the end of the century in the first part of "Big Dipper God Fist".
This animation work is a mixture of wastelandpunk style and Chinese martial arts elements full of strong masculinity, but also has a strong sense of tragic fatalism. There are several important battles in the story, and after the end, they always give people infinite sighs.
But the tragedy is shocking not because of the sadness of the ending, but the belief of the characters to fight against fate or choose fate.
Sheehan is finally able to explain the truth to Kenjiro, but deliberately provokes him and chooses to fight him in the end. Yulia's departure shatters his long-standing quest for love, and he decides to eventually follow the fate of martyrdom and fight for love.
Nandou Shiratori Fist Rey first fought with the boxing king Rao in order to repay Kenjiro's kindness to him. After being mortally injured, in order to free his beloved Maria from fate, he fought to the death with the Nandou Flamingo Fist Demon Star Yoda. In the end, he died for the righteousness of his friends, worthy of the fate of the righteous star. Although he was unable to change his fate, he let the Death Signs leave Mary.
The demon star Yoda's sinking in the path of the magic path stems from his fascination and paranoia about the beauty of Rey's fist, and dying in Rey's arms can also be regarded as a relief.
The story of Nandou Egret Fist Renxing Xiuwu can be described as the most tragic chapter in the whole chapter. He once self-destructed his eyes in order to save the young Hokuto lineage Kenjiro. Later, he sacrificed his son to save Kenjiro, who was imprisoned by the Emperor Star Saoser of the Nandou Phoenix Fist. A teenager also bears the fate of Renxing.
In order to save the children of the village, Xiuwu later carried the spire of the Southern Cross Mausoleum built by Saoser to the tower step by step, and finally died under the spear of Saoser and was buried in the Southern Cross Mausoleum. In the end, kenjiro, who was completely angered, was completely angered.
Di Xing Saoser is also a very charismatic character in the story. Domineering, he wants to compete with Rao for world domination, and wants the Beidou to lay the foundation for the Southern Cross Tomb. He was also the only one who could get the three Beidou brothers to join forces. First, the three men of the Hokuto gathered and opened the scene, and then the cultivation of martial arts and righteousness, the emotions were full, and the battle with Kenjiro could be described as a change of color.
Sausser himself was a tragic man. The tradition of nandou phoenix fist is that the heir must kill his own mentor, kill his beloved master without knowing it, and from then on, Saose renounced love in his heart. However, he was still the one who loved him the most, and in the end, the defeated Saoser chose to return to his master's body and bury them together under the collapsed Southern Cross Mausoleum.
Then the Big Dipper, the eldest brother with the goal of becoming the overlord at the end of the century, Rao, and the second male Torch, who has the most gorgeous and beautiful fist in two thousand years. Torchi, who was most likely to inherit the Hokuto lineage, was already terminally ill (mentioned in the theater version), and later suffered from nuclear radiation in order to protect everyone. Knowing that time was short, he turned the Big Dipper Divine Fist into art to save countless people. Rao, on the other hand, was not willing to let his fist be sealed, and resolutely embarked on the road of hegemony.
As brothers, Torch and Rao can be said to be the two most representative of the concept of fate in the story. One obeys his own destiny, but does more useful things before the fate ends; the other is unwilling to accept his fate and vows to use his fists to open up his own era. The two inevitably fought a decisive battle, and at the end of the battle, Rao claimed that it was the last tear and punched his brother in the face of grief for his sad fate.
Finally, the battle between Rao and Kenjiro, is it to use violence to restore order to the chaotic world, or to use love to dispel the actual haze? The final battle proves that Rao did not really give up love, but in the end he also left the most heroic declaration in the whole text, "I have no regrets in my life!" "Self-judgment, turned into a monument between heaven and earth."
In addition, there are the five stars of the mountain that abandons evil from good, and the unruly Shusha of the clouds, and the deathmatch between the two and Rao has won the respect of the overlord. In order to help Rao calm the chaotic world, sirius dragon teeth who did not hesitate to transform into a demon wolf, and finally in order to confirm who was the savior, he chose to fight Kenjiro, and had already chosen to cut himself off.
Every man carries his own destiny, but each one maintains his dignity in the end, which is also a positive side hidden under the seemingly negative fatalism.
Finally, let's talk about the protagonist, Kenjiro. Honestly speaking, as the protagonist, his personality and image are not prominent enough compared to the two eldest brothers of the Big Dipper or the Six Holy Fists of the Southern Dipper. At the beginning of the story, he was defeated by Sheehan's hands, not because of his lack of martial arts, but because of his lack of inner war. Rising from failure, he is already as iron as his heart. In the continuous battles that followed, he also continued to grow, and eventually grew into the strongest man of this era.
Simply put, he didn't start with big dreams or a belief in saving the world. Along the way, he is constantly pushed by the people around him. At the beginning, the punishment of evil and rescue was only a matter of course on the road of revenge. In the future, he was promoted by friends around him, and the sacrifices of his friends gradually aroused the sense of mission in his heart, and he calmly accepted his fate as a Beidou descendant. So there is a second part, when the world is in chaos again, and Kenjiro rides the Black King on the scene.
Personally, the first part of the story is already pretty perfect. In order to continue the plot, the second part created a strong man such as Yun Shuluoguo, and then appeared in the Hokuto Ryu Fist, which was really a bit of a snake. But it has also created a number of excellent characters, the golden general Farug of the Yuandou Imperial Fist, the bounty hunter Al, the Beidou Liuquan Heir, and the Third Luohan, who are also flesh and blood.
At the end of the anime, Kenjiro rides away on the Black King, remembering his friends who have fought all the way, and the classic background song "Yulia Forever" comes to mind, and the characters of the past appear in the picture one by one, which is really angry.
Finally, post the ending song, the lyrics of "Yulia Forever", a rare desolate affection in the animation:
Survive in the cracks of time
Lonely murmurs
Remembered in the groping
Warmth and loneliness
Will shine as brightly as you
The moment in your arms
Yes, time is flowing in the beloved person
The wandering mind sees no future
Swaying in the light
Your smile
Leave only the foot sounds
In the darkness, the figure disappeared
Plump wings flapping their wings
At this moment when the goddess is on her back
I want love more than I want now than I want in the future
All because I want to have you who I love more than I dream
