Hokuto no Ken Episode 6: “God’s Land” (神の国 ゴッドランド)
Here is the official summary translated from the official website:
Kenshiro and Bat arrive at a lively oasis and stop at a bar to resupply. The bartender tells them that a fanatical faction called the Golan is terrorizing the region. Bat then spots Lin, captured by the Golan and being forcibly taken away in a truck as a slave.
The Golan: Who Are They?
Episode 6 introduces the Golan, a fanatical military group organized around a religious cult; “God’s Land” (ゴッドランド) is the name of their territory. In the original manga, the Golan is one of the first structured organizations Kenshiro faces. Unlike the disorganized raider gangs from the early episodes, the Golan has a hierarchy, an ideology, and a fortified base. This is also the arc that brings Lin back to the center of the story, after her introduction in the very first episodes.

Cast
The official website reveals that Mad Sarge (マッドサージ), a Golan officer, will be voiced by Saitō Jirō. The voice actor shared a humorous comment about his involvement:
“‘Man, this stuff really makes the rice go down!’ That’s what a senior coworker told me when I was a student working part-time. Today he doesn’t know I became a seiyū, let alone that I’m in Hokuto no Ken. But I hope he’ll watch this new adaptation somewhere, and that he’ll think to himself once again: ‘Man, this stuff really makes the rice go down!’ It’s with that personal thought in mind that I approached this role.”
When asked about his favorite lines from the series, Saitō Jirō cited his own lines, including a “Die spitting out every last drop of blood in your body!!” that earned him a worried visit from his landlord during at-home rehearsals. His favorite character: Fudô. His survival lesson for the end-of-century era: “eat”.
