Hokuto no Ken Series Daikaibō (San-ei, 2023) 北斗の拳シリーズ大解剖
Overview
“The Great Dissection of the Hokuto no Ken Series” (北斗の拳シリーズ大解剖) is the reworked version of the Hokuto no Ken Daikaibō, released for the series' fortieth anniversary. Its opening page announces the addition of Souten no Ken to “thoroughly dissect” the two successors of the Hokuto Shinken, Kenshiro and Kasumi Kenshiro.
After a gallery of illustrations from both series, four shared articles compare the two heroes, the year 199X and 1930s Shanghai, and trace a genealogy of the Hokuto Shinken linking Hokuto no Ken to Souten no Ken. The Hokuto no Ken part takes up the portraits, techniques and galleries of the earlier mook, with the final duel between Raoh and Kenshiro reproduced over nineteen pages from the original artwork. The Souten no Ken part follows Kasumi Kenshiro, 62nd successor of the Hokuto Shinken, his companions (朋友, pengyou), his rivals and his fateful duel with Liu Zongwu. It also tells the secret story of the school's birth around its founder, Shuken. The volume ends with Souten no Ken Regenesis and brings together the covers of both works.
