So Kenshiro can heal the blind and summon water in the desert. Further evidence that he is actually post-apocalypse kung-fu Jesus.

Surprisingly, though, this series hasn't gotten old. It doesn't feel like it's repeating itself, despite the fact that Ken always wins without breaking a sweat.

It hasn't got old yet but I hope he gets a decent opponent sooner rather than later O_o

I was just gonna come here and say that Kenshiro is the reincarnation of god in human form, but I see you've already covered that up. Good job, OP.

Yeah, I'm really liking this.

Give an old lady and a bunch of young kids something everyone in the world is looking for (water source) and decide that leaving them would make them more safe...

Aside from that I really enjoyed it.

I laughed out loud when the old lady got kicked in the face a couple times. It definitely made the scene much more dramatic.

I think it's only a matter of time before Kenshiro can walk on water, if he can't already.

Every time after he leaves a town it gets attacked usually because of something he did. You would think that he would have learned.

Can anyone explain to me why the old woman died? She threw that thing far enough.

oh god, oh god I literally just realized how many people Kenshiro's killed already. He's one of the most kindhearted characters Ive' seen in a while but good lord he's probably killed hundreds of people by now and it's only been 11 episodes (especially if those hundred people attacks actually killed a hundred people)

Still, this show hasn't gotten old yet and it's pretty fun to watch

Yet Lin was able to survive the blasts from 3 hand grenades that were basically right in front of her in the last episode of the God Army arc lol. I really don't get how explosives work in this anime xD

That was badass.

Man, Kenshiro can become a very good doctor.. if he's not in apocalypse age

Kenshiro made a big mistake once again

Silly kids, that's not how you run away from dynamite that strapped to you

Ken's one liners have been real fucking good these past couple of episodes lol

I'm still baffled that the kids not only ran away from Ken, but also ran in opposite directions while they had explosives on their backs...Also the old lady dying after she threw the dynamite a good distance away lol.

Other than that, it was an entertaining episode as usual.

The enemy this time is pretty intelligent, unlike previous enemies, he actually doesn't overestimate his own strength and uses tactics against Kenshiro

Another great episode. I'm also quite surprised it hasn't gotten old yet. Hokuto no Ken is basically like One Punch man, except with more punches. Ken's really a god, healing blind kids, summoning water. He even glows superbrightly when using his speicial powers.

Gotta commend that leader from the Warriors for having half a brain. Too bad he couldn't be a little more patient, until Ken completely left the scene. I can't really say that the death of the old lady came as a big shock for me. It's hard to feel sad for a character you just met in the episode. But her death at least fuels the fire inside Ken's heart to follow The Warriors to the ends of the earth!

WA-TCHAAAAAH !!!!

This is probably the first time there were any intelligent villains in this series. Too bad it's not enough. They pissed off Ken enough for him to go after them and finish them for good. Pretty dumb move.
