Souther, taken seriously again (2016)
聖帝サウザー · Seitei Souther
Nearly thirty years after Fist of the North Star, Tetsuo Hara drew Souther properly again, having lost sight of him behind the Ichigo Aji parody.
For the December 2016 issue of Monthly Comic Zenon, Hara drew Souther seriously for the first time in nearly thirty years. He explained that he had lost sight of the real character, overshadowed by his parody version in Hokuto no Ken Ichigo Aji, and that he only found the original again on the third day of trying, before drawing it in one go. Given away as a clear file with the December issue, on sale on 25 October 2016, this monochrome drawing printed in gold carries the credit “画／原哲夫”. According to Hara, the drawing is charged with the determination to “save the honour of the original” against the parody.
