Rei was the best partner in crime ever. It was nice to see Kenshiro walk around with an equal, I just realised Kenshiro became much more lonely after Rei's death.
Small nitpick, but I don't think I'd consider them equals. Kenshiro was the only person who could even wound Raoh, whereas Rei was stopped by one finger. Who would win Nanto Suicho Ken | A finger
Zane Gandini Rei's ultimate technique quite possibly rivaled Juza's. Ultimate techniques just have a habit of being ineffective against Raoh. Besides, Rei did kinda save Ken by using an arrow (it might have only been in the anime).
One thing I love about HnK is the fact the protagonists have fighting arts that are just as horrific as the antagonists and almost never hold back. I mean, Rei turns people into human streamers and he's one of the true good guys throughout his whole run.

Nanto suicho ken (the south star waterfowl fist) It's movements are graceful just like a bird floating on the water. However, its power and cruelty as a killing technique are unmatched.
I always felt that Rei was Ken's closest friend in the series besides Bat and Lin and Toki. Toki closer than a friend cause he was his adopted brother. But Rei survived the Fang Arc, Jagi Arc, Cassandra Arc was where he got wounded, and was able to win his final battle in the Yuda Arc before he died.
The guy with the nunchucks had a total disregard for life and limb, somebody should have lended him a hand, I could see why people kept Rei at arms length.
***** Not to mention the attempt at dynamic equivalences and comedy filler. Yes, I like the movie better, but just for the sake of faithfulness to the original material I made the post.
I like to think that Vega/Balrog/Claw from Street Fighter was inspired by Rei. High pitched shrieking, air flips, and cutting style attacks. Not to mention the pretty boy look.
You gotta love the robotic voice of the people dying and the slices moving forward and back. Plus the wonderful 00:55 Japanese narrator explanation worthy of making it into South park 😂🤣
The funny thing is, you realise that Hirohiko (the artist for Jojo's) worked UNDER Buronson for HnK? If you want to know where stuff like oraora/mudamuda come from...HnK is the right place ;)
True, HnK was ending when JoJo started and you can tell that a lot of parts 1 & 2 came from that base. But calling the JoJo author Hirohiko is like calling the Sandman author Neil isn't it? They don't all go by one name like Buronson does.
@@NovaProspekt19the fact that Lin somehow lived so long without even barely getting hurt and only really suffering a nose bleed and punch to the face while Bat got impaled by an arrow and almost died in the Roah arc has always impressed me both bat and lin were weak children and after bat got that arrow impaled in him I was expecting him to just flat out die and with Lin I was expecting her to suffer the same fate so the fact that Lin got it so easy in that arc compared to bat had always been impressive
A Post Apocalyptic World - Nucular War. A Deadly Martial Arts Assassin With A Grudge - His sister's kidnapping. The Mook's face when he finally takes notice of the stumps on his arms (never mind pain from severing nerves and tissue...) - PRICELESS!
Kaneto Shiozawa did the voice as Rei in Fist of the North Star he also did the voice as D in Vampire Hunter D anime many other anime worked on he is also known as the voice as Aramis in Wan Wan Sanjushi also known as Dogtanian and the three Muskehounds
after defeated by RAOH REI "such a hard era, men have to die so early. however women are not. they give a birth and raise children, tell the history of Men. my remaining issue is only how to die for." I was tearing up as a kid. now, I'm tearing up as an adult.
"I've heard legends about this fighting technique and this stranger has just proved them true by splitting every one of my comrades faces into multiple pieces with his just his fingertips....... *But my Nunchucks are are still pretty fire* "
Indeed. Rei has the distinction of being the only (named) 'good guy' whose head explodes from Hokuto Shinken when he dies, a fate otherwise reserved for minor villains. Even the other good guys who got killed by Raoh with Hokuto Shinken, such as Hyui, Juuza, and Koryuu, didn't suffer the indignity of exploding when they died. Even Fudoh only partially exploded before being finished off by arrows. In the anime they don't even show Rei's death, instead playing the "head exploding" sound effect.

塩沢さんのレイの渋さとシャオーが凄過ぎて今だに北斗だとレイが1番好き
Rei was the best partner in crime ever. It was nice to see Kenshiro walk around with an equal, I just realised Kenshiro became much more lonely after Rei's death.
Until he meets Shu, who dies about a couple of episodes later. Kenshiro really did it rough when it came to his allies.
Yeah! It was great seeing both Ken and Rei together but sad to see him go cause I would have love to see more of these two in action.
Small nitpick, but I don't think I'd consider them equals. Kenshiro was the only person who could even wound Raoh, whereas Rei was stopped by one finger.
Who would win
Nanto Suicho Ken | A finger

@@zanegandini5350 You mean One pointy boi?
I fucking love how simple and silly the animation is, and yet it still feels impressively stylish
80s
It's clear that they had a low budget to work with, but you get the sense that the team cared and had respect for the original source material.
Lol, the dude even knew the technique's name, and still he hoped he could beat it with nunchaku
Dude was probably a nasty boss thug in that area, but of course just a nothing to Rei
He knew what he was up against and he knew if he turned-tail he'd be killed. Man stood his ground and went out fighting. A thug, but a ballsy thug.
Rei: Hippity Hoppity, your arms are my property.
What moron faces the coolest style of Nanto Sei Ken/the Nanto Roku Sei Ken with nunchucks. Smh.
What if it was Kenshiro with nunchaku?
レイが好きな還暦の者です。最初は悪役キャラだったよね。でも実は情の深い人間だった。レイの最後のシーン、今でも涙が出そうです。

I mean, Rei turns people into human streamers and he's one of the true good guys throughout his whole run.
And don't get me started about his glorious death, my goodness.
Yeah, usually the good guys don't do the killing, but Rai and Ken kill without remorse nor anything.
Kenshiro’s brutality reminds me of the Punisher
But he had to die in both seriea and re imagined movie.. Too bad

Rei's introduction was a great lead-in to the next arc. Not only does it show that there's more to Nanto Sei Ken than we thought, but you're also left wondering, just what exactly did Ken do to piss off someone so deadly.
it really is Nanto suicho ken!
narrator: NANTO SUICHO KEN! I love that part
CrimsonAsc it sounds like some dictator communist Japan announcement
The North Korean announcer imitates this narrator style for some reason...
crissyisajojofan what gave you that idea??? I always thought when they announced their moves and styles was a reference to old school kung fu movies
The great Shigeru Chiba plays the narrator
Nanto suicho ken (the south star waterfowl fist)
It's movements are graceful just like a bird floating on the water. However, its power and cruelty as a killing technique are unmatched.
I always felt that Rei was Ken's closest friend in the series besides Bat and Lin and Toki. Toki closer than a friend cause he was his adopted brother. But Rei survived the Fang Arc, Jagi Arc, Cassandra Arc was where he got wounded, and was able to win his final battle in the Yuda Arc before he died.
He is the best and his death was very sad

The best part about this entire series were the Ken and Rei team ups. Rei killed every scene he was in
That scene in YuYu Hakusho where Hiei cuts Makintaro's arm without noticing is probably a homage to this. Legend.
And there'll never be another voices like Kaneto Shiozawa.
I think that Takumi Yamazaki would be a great successor.

He disarmed his opponent. Although it was a 'joint' effort, he was totally on his own.

Well, obviously not since he doesn't have any arms. Lol Rei is awesome.
Holy shit 14 years ago. I was a teen when you made this comment. I wonder if this account is still active.
Takehito Koyasu does a good job of voicing Rei, too, in Ken's Rage. Very similar in tone, and he reproduces that "SHUUUU" voice perfectly.
and Kenshiro perfectly.
I prefer how the animated movie handled this one: he chucks the arms at him, and the guy tries to catch them with his leftover stubs...
