- Here he is, the final boss of this game that literally trolled everyone in the most lunatic way ever. I really, REALLY wish I could include the cutscenes for him but sadly and again, copyright is in the way, so there's only the fight, and it's damn great.

Skip to 13:22 for just the boss fight.
devilleon7 I kinda wish that the bosses in this game would be on a close level with you (e.g. if your level 75, the boss would be anywhere between 70-80) but at the same time, I’m glad ya whooped Targa like Punk Ass Abe from Yakuza.
What's the deal with him anyway ? I don't have the game, but I remember the japanese version. It seemed he had some kind of special body or something like Souther.
have to ask, is there a secret boss for completing all side quests(like in traditional Yakuza games)?
You're goddamn right. Amon jumps through dimensions to fight Kenshiro if you beat all the substories.
@@Dead-Pool3_II_Sij6 Amon, just like usual.
For those who want to know, Targa suffered some horrific injuries during the war that launched the nukes. He survived and was made into a cyborg by his remaining commanders before he left to do his own thing.
He believed himself to be superior to Hokuto Shinken because he thought having cybernetics nullified the pressure points in his body, making him immune to its effects. He forgot that there was still parts of his body that wasn't cybernised, that would be effected by Kenshiro's attacks.
Thank you for explaining that. The wiki entry on Targa was beyond useless.
kenshiro exploded a tank so targa would still have no chance lol
Ken managed to explode a tank, I think he'd still be able to smash targa to pieces without the use of pressure points.
To be fair he was kinda right, so Ken had to resort to repeated blunt trauma injuries to get the job done.
Nothing like kicking him in the “Family Jewels” will do the trick and end everything before It starts.
Random bandit: "You call using a flamethrower martial arts?"
Kenshiro: "Hey, as long as it works."
It is if the flamethrower comes from your hands
You have to be an actual Chad, to get the "Hey, as long as it works." part.
@@Steffe63.5 My mind jumps to Binary Domain.
@@jaypostromboli-jpgamertv-457 funny you mention that, one it's music tracks is playable in during buggy travel
You know what really tickles my pickle about Targa? His English voice actor, Mick Wingert, is the same guy who voices Po in all of the Kung Fu Panda video games and spin offs. That’s right. Kenshiro and Po, two of the greatest fictional martial artist ever, have thrown down. And Kenshiro won
wait i thought that was jack black
@@proxytheprotogen7985 jack black voices him in the movies but for the games and other media it's mick wingert
@@b.blobbentein5774 Seriously?!😠😆
Tickles your pickle?!?!😂😆🤣
Very fast Not Korean Vergil getting destroyed by Mad Max Kiryu at incredible hihg speed
He's more like Dante with those pistols. They remind of ebony and ivory.
Stop saying Korean Vergil.
@@kennethshiro9500 why? That's the character's name
Actually that guy’s fighting style reminds me of Christian Bale from the movie Equilibrium
It's "high" speed not "hihg" speed lol
14:57 Can we just take a moment to appreciate how crazily badass Ken looks redirecting Targa's pistols and countering?
👍
"TRY AND KEEP UP, KENSHIRO!"
(Leaps)
"Well, okay, if you're asking nicely..."
(Leaps, Hundred Fist Rush)
"I'll show you just how strong I am!"
*proceeds to get mercilessly beaten to a pulp by kenshiro whilst hardly leaving a scratch*
Targa, like Jagi, learned the hard way what happens when you bring a gun to a Hokuto Shinken fight.
An amazing finish. Targa inadvertently opened himself to Ken's last attack.
How ironic. He uses guns like Jagi. And he ends up suffering a similar fate like Jagi.
At least his head not much exploded
@@MuhammadRidho-vb2fb if you look closely, his head didn't explode. You'll have to pause the video.
@@shoryu87 yup
@@shoryu87 probably either his face is slashed or his brains exploded
Targa is a goddamn idiot. He already lost to Kenshiro twice and only survive because his luckines. and also he still try to fight Kenshiro with gun Although gun are useless against Kenshiro. and he should already understand if his body are only half cyborg so he still have a lot of pressure point and his motivation to be the ascendant are stupid af. Even Jagi are not that stupid.
Funny how Kenshiro actually indirectly save Raoh and Souther ass from being burned by nuke and Targa really look like he is Jared Leto Joker combined with Stroheim lol
While having the ego of a certain Wolftenstein villain..
Knife vs Gun: Knife wins
Fists vs Guns: *Fists wins!*
Honestly why does anyone bring a gun to a fight anymore they always lose
Ikr
Well this is Hokuto Shinken bruh most gun in this series are useless
I found Kenshiro informing Targa that it was too late for him because he was already dead very satisfying. Overall this game's story didn't exactly captivate me but watching the villain's head blow up felt well-earned.
Some people are disappointed that this guy is the final boss, but keep in mind that Sega managed to turn an already established world and meld it into their own original story. They can continue it, and even improve on it as its own thing.
@@SkellyAa Kenshiro is actually pretty similar to Kiryu in the first place. Like Kiryu, Ken has an extremely strong sense of justice and is very kind to his friends and those he cares about, yet ruthless to his enemies. Even Raoh, despite the two being bitter rivals and having to fight to the death, Kenshiro still admired and respected him (referring to him as "Nii-san", a formal variant of "Elder Brother"). They're also both romanticized versions of the ideal man that one would aspire to be: tough, stoic, and passionate with their ideals. So honestly, Ken isn't way too similar to Kiryu; it's kinda the other way around :p
It's always possible that there'll be a sequel that will have more characters from the manga.
+Mr Skeltal Like someone I read once said in another video, everything that came after Hokuto no Ken 1 is like bad to barely average fan fiction at best.
Not sure if that includes this game too though. I've read many good reviews (from both fans and people who didn't know anything about the series), so maybe I might buy it soon.
+Mr Skeltal Not sure if they were the "bests" fights of all the series, but HnK 2 sure had some epic and great ones (such as Kenshiro vs Han). The main problem is the story, indeed. It has a lots of retcons that are way too forced and don't make any sense with anything that was shown before. The main villains feel like bland and poorly written rehashes of those from part 1, specially Kaioh.
It was entertaining, I can't deny it, but it was very unnecessary and subpar as a sequel.
+Mr Skeltal Thanks for the word of advice regarding the game BTW. I think I will wait for that price drop. I barely have time to play videogames right now anyways.
(After defeat Targa...)
Targa:(The energy surges on his body.)W... what...!? How could be...? dat energy...!?
Kenshiro:(Approaches.)You cannot ascend as a god.
Targa:W...hat!?
Kenshiro:God can't die. But you're... You're already dead(Omae wa mou shindeiru.).
Targa:...What!!? I... must... be...!!!!!.... eh... eh... eh......!!! HIDEBUUUU!!!!!!!!!!(Targa exploded and the body falls down.)
15:47 - Man he was about to go all Hokuto no Happy Feet on yo ass!
Or, that was his version of "BRING THAT SHIT KENSHIRO"
Targa: How? I don't have any pressure points!!!!
What in the actual fuck made you think that?!
You got one robot arm, that doesn't make you immune to Hokuto Shinken. Even Souther(Thouzer) with his Holy Emperor's body wasn't immune to Hokuto Shinken.
True
Well half of his body are cyborg but yeah he still have some pressure point on his body
7:32 that’s what you call yakuza
Targa: "Try and Keep Up"
Kenshiro: "Sure, okay"
Apparently in the "Canon Difficulty" DLC this guy is Level 99. The same level as Raoh. I honestly find that very hard to believe that this guy is on the same level as Ken-oh. Its like, is there any reason he has to be that high?
Aside from that fact the fight itself is very very great.
It's probably to show how resistant to Hokuto his cyborg augmentations makes him.
@Xellos That would make sense. After the fight, Targa in denial of his impending demise says "But I have no pressure points!", so that's probably what that's about.
Man I wanna play that canon mode sooooo bad!
"Canon difficulty"
I do too! I really wanna fight Raoh at Level 99, its the only way you can truly experiance the Might of Ken-oh.
I like how many of these bosses throw pretty much their entire army at you.
The BGMs are all sick.
So Targa really did become some sort of cyborg?
He was always a cyborg.
He was rebuilt into a cyborg after the war. Doesn't stop Kenshiro from making him blow up like all the thugs he fought.
Hokuto Ujou Haganken just looks weird when the enemies survive it
In this game, enemies don't feel any bliss before dying of Hokuto Ujou Hagan Ken, very immersive.
Man since when did Sega did so copyright-heavy with cutscenes. Like they never did copyright strike your Yakuza videos and the earlier FotNS:LP English videos.
Like it restricted us from recording or screenshot the finale chapter?
Man, the soundtracks for both parts are great. Like the one for the long battle sounds as though a choir of glorious angels have descended to provide the bgm for your final long battle to face Targa, and then the music for when you're fighting him is just as awesome itself.
And lol, he really did set himself up for that final attack at the end...
15:50
Beautiful smothering counterplay. 10/10
Devilleon is so RAW.. it's like watching Kenshiro (character) actually play as Kenshiro (video game adaptation). Lol.
But, did he actually play, because this should be next to impossible!?
Trolled all of Eden and left me wondering if the dev team has competent writers. I have some, uh, beefs with Targa's writing in spite of how much I enjoyed his character and this fight. I actually have some beefs with this game's story overall, but I still enjoyed it.
Also Celestial Hundred Fist Rush is a very underappreciated technique.
Targa could be better Final Boss if Rgg give more build up for him and give Targa a decent backstory and solid motive because in the game he pretty much just a Speedy Cyborg Bastard with Gun. and the fact Kenshiro already beat him twice before. make Targa feel like a joke final boss
Targa = The Colonel done right.
That combo at 10:50 tho 💪
This fight imo is proof that a gun slinging final boss by RGGS CAN work.
They made it work twice along side Andre from 3
@@John-Stark you mean ruff man
I like how He finished him up with the same move Toki used on Raoh
I really liked how he and Nadai just set themselves up for a celestial fist. Since I can't think of anyone else to use that on
13:25 *welcome to the stage of history*
"Try and keep up now!"
*Instantly leaps up into a shitty position and dies*
In the words of Kazumi Kenshiro, 62nd master of Hokuto Shinken (and this Kenshiro's martial grand uncle): "there is nothing difficult in avoiding a bullet if you can see it coming."
Man, the theme for this long battle is beautiful.
Any idea what the title is?
@@evanlimberger8174 pretty sure it’s just sphere city theme
@@evanlimberger8174 I know it’s been 10 months since the comment but in case you still don’t know it’s called God Complex
7:30
Okay THAT was LITERALLY Kiryu!!
That was a Kiwami Heat Action Kiryu could pull off in Rush mode, Which means Kiryu Knew Hokuto A bit back in the day!!!!
Or HE INVENTED IT HIMSELF!!!!
You mentioned in the video info that copyright was in the way, is that just because the video was blocked for recording or because you had a copyright strike? Just curious because I'm gonna stream it soon.
A shame I didn’t see Ken reunite with Yuria, but....
Ummmmm..... are you gonnna do substories now?
Just got to this boss fight, definitely up there as one of the funnest in the game
Ahhh I really wanna see the cutscenes in this game. Can you really get copyright strike for the cutscenes? You own the game
Well, not copyright strikes, per se, but the video with this kind of restriction gets either blocked worldwide OR copyrighted but in the sense that the money goes to the company and you get none, but with the video still existing. I did get one case of an actual copyright strike but that was because of the intro to the Japanese version of Yakuza 0 which had a Japanese licensed song (which was stupid as hell because I got the copyright strike 3 years later).
Either way, it's stupid because we're trying to promote the game by putting these videos out there, only for them to get blocked.
@@devilleon7 I know if you play certain songs you can get owners getting money from your video. Sad but meh. Really wanted to see the ending of the game and this Targa guys involvement in HOKUTO NO KEN game. Still in two minds whether to get the game or not. Its cool to see Amon in the game though.
I got this game with barely any knowledge about Hokuto No Ken, just because it's developed by the Yakuza team and because it is basically a Yakuza game with a Hokuto No Ken skin slapped onto it, and honestly you'll feel right at home if you love Yakuza. So if your concern is that you may not like it because it's too different, I don't think you have much to worry about, because it's Yakuza at its heart.
@@devilleon7 I watched alot of the Hokuto No Ken anime. The only thing concerning right now is the storyline and that final boss
Not sure why enemies still use crossbows even though there are guns in this universe.
Not everyone can afford bullets, I guess. It's probably along the lines of why bullets are hard to come by in TWD. Crossbow-bolts would be easier to make than bullets (a sharpened rod with stabilizer fins versus the actual round, its casing and some gunpowder).
Guns and ammo are extremely rare.
He would be woefully disappointed if he fought a squad of NCR soldiers who then riddle him with bullets.
the real question is why people use arrows VS kenshiro when he has that hokuto technique that make him immune to them
Two finger interception only stops one arrow. Against a rain of arrows it won't wokr as well
Kenshiro: The succesor of HokuTo Shinken and a very strong and skilled Person
Targa: 2 *guns*
You'd think you would discard something your opponent can easily counter/avoid. But nope, Targa Keeps his guns despite Kenshiro dodging every single one of them.
Played like a true master of Hokuto
I watched all 200+ episodes of Fist of the North Star. I do not even remember this guy at all.
The story of this game is an original one with characters from the source material as well as original characters, this guy is one of the original characters for this game.
devilleon7 Ah...alright. Thanks for the heads up, still gonna buy it.
I play on easy, and cant get through the wave of the enemies. Maybe i just focus on main story without levelling up Kenshiro, or i just not good enough to play this beautiful game.
Nah don't worry you can do it, maybe you just have to level Kenshiro up more, because it is important for the later fights like this one
@@devilleon7 thank you for advice.
hey while i appreciate these videos being here, you dont HAVE to make them instant related-video-algorithm spoilers by slapping FINAL BOSS all over them. if people want them, they'll find them
Wow so the final boss is basically a Grammaton Cleric from the movie Equilibrium? Hahaha
killing Targa was beyond satisfying
Targa quicksteps as much as fuckin Majima does.
It's because his purple aura appear too late and you already KO him or he'll be very hard to kill due to his super speed.
HBCS: HOKUTO BONE CRUSHER STRIKE, i like this move👍
i like how he is holding two guns,but didn't do anything
Kenshiro: omae owa mou shinderu
Targa: stop talking that trash
(and then Targa get's killed in 5 seconds XD)
No idea what the red aura is since I don't play, read, or watched FOTNS yet, but it would be great that when any aura is active it stays active when jumping from platform in a mini cut-scene
Basically, Kazuto Arase in Hokuto no Ken.
This stage is horribly burned in my retinas.
what would have happened if kenshiro and targa had learned to master all fighting techniques and also learn to master all styles of fighting and also learn to master all martial arts and also learn to master all weapons
Targa (Calamity Point).
Im fighting him at only level 35 cause i really didnt feel like spending hours completing sidequests but fighting all the minions used up most of my healing items so i can only get him down to about 1/3 of his remaining bealth and then he beats me
I wonder how Kenshiro's clothes restores after he activate red kinda mode
Kenshiro has some Autonomous Ultra Instinct.
As bullshit is this last fight is, that boss music is FIRE. Epic music for a completely bullshit fight.
Just beat extra hard mode. It's scary.
Nice fight
Quite dissapointing final boss but still decently good
Targa is just a gun man but his dance for becoming strong in 15:46........why not but he is ridicule althrough
Targa's Chicken Dance are funny as hell 🤣
Does anyone know the name of the ost that plays during the long battle?
ruclips.net/video/MMLIfhNHjMY/видео.html
Vs Taruga ( Calamity Point)
GOOD👍
Why don’t you fight him on the same level(50?)...or better yet fight him on level 40. At least that’s what I did. Using only 1 savory Jerky. First try btw.
Can you start Premium New Game in Premium Adventure Mode?
Btw, how did you get to Level 75
Damn Targa really didn't deserve to be the final boss. Targa are too low for The Powerful Kenshiro. I understand they try to make enemy with unique Attributes but come on Half cyborg body didn't make someone immune to Hokuto and Targa are too weak and have lesser health than most boss fight in this game
I wanted Nadai to stay as main antagonist, he was way more interesting and complex character.
He perfectly fitted as he represented what Kenshiro through game, protecting Eden.
I kinda wanted him to show up after Targa defeat to be true final boss.
@@travistouchdown3822 You're definitely right my friend
Really would of appreciated NOT knowing that TARGA is the final boss in this game just by reading the title dude..........
Whats the song? 0:01
Did you plat the game? :o
What is the deal with this boss? he wasn't even from the anime series
Its an orginal story they remix it a little
@@sparknazo yeah thanks
@@RayyanAlarmouti7767 Well he was an original character from the game. And he actually a human cyborg
Hey Leon play the bartender mini game...shake and bake
I will
Questa scena, mi ricorda Fox, dell'anime, che viene letteralmente preso e tirato da 1 muro da Ken. L'intelligenza artificiale, esiste già e CÌ SORPASSERÀ E SOPPIANTERÀ!. Ma come dice qui Ken, l'uomo sarà sempre più forte
Just waiting for kiryu DLC to finally play as full power kiryu
It's already out. Look at the PSN Store.

@@SumThingFawful
You're welcome lol :)
And I thought it a Jump Force game💀
Never play Hokuto no Janken with Kenshiro lest u are prepared to blow the fuck up :V
Are you gonna do jo Amon fight.?
I'll try to
Inigo vs Hubert.
Better with the Japanese voice overs. But I like the theme when Kenshiro is going through the Army of Ruin's gauntlet. And Targa is the real Kyo-Oh. He used Nadai as a way to be manipulated by Kenshiro. And Kenshiro was mad at Targa because Targa illustrated the plan.
You need to improve your English. Don't worry bro everybody start from scrath
So uuuuh
THAT's the main villain of a Hokuto game? Not someone really important, like Raoh, but some jerk with dual pistols?
Seriously?
Hes actually pretty awesome, ends up using everyone from behind the scenes whilst every time he appears underhandidly just fucking with the cast and hoing for low blows. Hes also resistant to ken's martial art.
You need to see EVERY cutscene, to include the epilogue. They could have easily put 10 more chapters, with both Souther and Raoh rematches.
>the writer didnt bother writing competent villains with any real sense of ideology or sympathetic background till souther,
Yes.
Doesn't mean that game's main antagonist must be a gunblazing pussy, while battle with Souther is some strange stuff in a goddamn club.
Taruga has a good theme, though.
Irvin Dness That's kinda the point. The writers inverted the series standard of the final confrontation being a duel between extremely disciplined and deep, moving ways of life to instead demonstrate how pure of a man Kenshiro is. Targa is _literally_ given the advantage at every possible point and still falls, because he is weak in mind and spirit, in the same manner as the Wasteland makes most people. It's a refreshing change to have an antagonist who the narrative fully vilifies, one who fully deserves to suffer. I agree that it's somewhat strange on the surface-level (and totally trying to cash in on the more recent shonen/seinen trope of having the BBEG's death be as cathartic as possible), but it works well.
Trying to invert something in such a way that it doesn't seem bad only works when you are doing it with more or less good product.
This game is thoroughly mediocre, sometimes even bad, and narrative is fitting for that quality, which is why the main antagonist is NOT fresh, but mediocre in every way possible. Some cheap Ledger's Joker wannabe on a discount.
If the game was not as broken as it is, your explanation might've been legit.
Why is Targa the final boss
I Don’t Know Much But From What I’m Getting At, I Just Completed The Game Today And Once Your Done Fighting Xsana’s Father “Nadai”, It Switches Over To A Cutscene Sequence Where Targa Is Involved In The Entire Scheming Plot Of Him Not Wanting To Kill Yuria Or Launch The Missiles At All But To Basically At The End Where You Get To Him After Fighting His Entire Army And He Explains To Kenshiro When He See’s Him That He Wants To Destroy All Of Eden, The Entire World, Yuria And Him And He Feels Like He’ll Become An Unstoppable Force Of Power If He Aims To Kill Everything Standing In The Way Of His Power And He Proceed’s To Define Himself As “The New God” Per Se And I Don’t Know That Much At All About Fist Of The North Star But I Just Finished FOTNS: LP Today And I Am A Huge Yakuza Fan But Don’t Know Much About The Lore Behind This 1980’s Manga Series But Maybe In The Future When I Get To Know More About Fist Of The North Star, I’ll Come Back And Explain Some More To You?????????
that WAAATAH every kick is really annoying
is this only ps4 exclusivve?
Only on PS4.
Sadly yeah
1:08 The N word!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect ending , at least he doesn't seem as annoying as Arase ( the one who kill Reina )
So this guy is like gay joker
Targa are not gay he want to bang Yuria
Man fuck this Targa fight and the entire repetitive gauntlet that is the finale. They literally turned up all the annoying aspects of Yakuza in this game with the infinite blocking and dodging enemies at the end. What a terrible low note which really soured the game for me especially after all the senseless pointless padding.
Nah is not that bad. I think is make sense they want to make Targa fight slighty more difficult. You just need to fucking get good. I know the grinding in this game are *pain*. But you just need to play patient, smart, and memorize the enemy pattern
@@jovif.spemudaindonesia1841🤔🤔🤔 lmao all I said was it was annoying!!! Any gamer knows it will always get difficult towards the end. But you get a star for telling me to "get good". Appreciate the uplifting motivational speech 4 months after I beat it 👍👍👍 lol
But seriously, unlike in the Yakuza games, I literally sped through the campaign (less than ideal side content completion) so you know my character wasn't leveled correctly towards the end making my life hell unintentionally. I'm pretty sure the ending would still be harder if leveled, but I had to drop down to easy in the last chapter. I'm ashamed of myself lol
The interesting part was I was fine up until the ending then enemy damage output and enemy count exploded into BREAK MY SOUL territory lol
@@DV-ou1yu Well yeah i agree if Eden Power Plant long battle are quite hard but the soundtrack and the design of Sphere city are so goddamn good. The last long battle really give me goosebumps. i know they add too much enemies but this moment really make you feel if Kenshiro are invicible. he are more than able to kill every Army Of Ruin soldier alone to save Yuria and kill that Asshole Targa. But hey i lost twice in Sphere City Long Battle and i still enjoyed it. My only issues is Targa are too weak
@@jovif.spemudaindonesia1841 Facts. The game was actually pretty dope and replan to play it correctly next go around.
Just saying. The game is awesome. But it lacks lastability. The game is too short.
25 levels above the final boss. Now that's cringe
Probably Callum its so easy to level up in this game lmao.
Geez, sorry for making use of the very valid game function of leveling up and blaming me for it. Maybe you'll have fun buying the game and fighting the final boss's 25 levels below his level? Good luck with that, though, because at that level against the final boss, dying in 2-4 hits should be what you'll put up with.
devilleon7 yeah like who the fuck complains about leveling up in a game. "Cringe" my ass. Targa can easially destroy your ass with his combos, i fought him with minimal health upgrades and ended up using all my healing items. And i was 5 levels over him too.
Guy probably didn't even play the game to see for himself how punishing this game is when you don't level up and get as many useful abilities as you can.
devilleon7 yeah the first few hours of playing the game on hard were brutal. Probably the hardest beginning out of any Yakuza game next to Yakuza 3 imo. Dont even get me started on the fucking colliseum duels, those guys can rip your ass apart even when you are evenly leveled with them.
