Omae wa mou shindeiru \u2014 and so is the wait for more. At the tail end of its 14th and final first-cour episode on June 26, the new Hokuto no Ken \u2013 Fist of the North Star<\/em> anime revealed a preview for Episode 15 confirming Part 2 is on its way in 2027. The first face we see in that preview? Jagi \u2014 one of Kenshiro’s most treacherous brothers, and a villain the franchise’s dedicated fanbase has been waiting for since the reboot was announced.<\/p>\n

First Cour Complete \u2014 All 14 Episodes Now on Amazon Prime Video<\/h2>\n

The new anime adaptation launched on April 10, 2026 on TOKYO MX and BS11 in Japan, running across 14 episodes that wrapped last Friday. This is not a sequel to the beloved 1984 Toei classic \u2014 it is a fresh, standalone retelling of Buronson and Tetsuo Hara’s legendary post-apocalyptic manga, produced by Warner Bros. Japan and directed by Hiroshi Maeda (known internationally for Hellsing Ultimate<\/em> and the Aquarion franchise).<\/p>\n

Every episode of the first cour is available now via Amazon Prime Video<\/a>, which streams the series worldwide \u2014 Singapore included. The cast brings Shunsuke Takeuchi to the role of Kenshiro, with Yuichi Nakamura voicing the elegant swordsman Rei, Ruriko Aoki as Mamiya, and veteran Koichi Yamadera lending his unmistakable voice to the narration. The opening theme is Hallelujah<\/em> by rock band Alexandros, while the ending pairs Toshl’s reimagining of Ai o Torimodose!!<\/em> \u2014 the iconic Crystal King theme from the original anime \u2014 with the new series’ visual style. That particular casting choice should land like a fist for anyone who grew up with the 1984 run.<\/p>\n

If you have not started yet, now is a good time to catch up. Fourteen episodes is a tight, well-paced first act \u2014 and Part 2 is confirmed to pick up directly from Episode 15.<\/p>\n

Jagi Makes His Move \u2014 What the Episode 15 Preview Reveals<\/h2>\n

The preview for Episode 15 aired at the end of the first-cour finale, and it wasted no time: Jagi is here. One of the four Hokuto brothers alongside Raoh, Toki, and Kenshiro himself, Jagi is a vicious and cunning fighter who conceals the scars Kenshiro left on his face beneath a spiked metal mask \u2014 and in this new adaptation, he appears in the preview wielding a double-barrelled shotgun in his signature style. His arrival signals that Part 2 will push the story deeper into the inter-brother conflict that defines the Hokuto saga’s most memorable chapters.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. Japan confirmed the 2027 broadcast and streaming window alongside the preview. A specific premiere date has not yet been announced \u2014 the official site (hokuto-anime.com<\/a>) lists it as coming in 2027, and the official X account @hokutonokeninfo<\/a> posted the teaser clip shortly after the finale aired.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Hokuto no Ken<\/em> is having a genuine cultural moment right now. Kenshiro was recently confirmed as a playable guest fighter in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves<\/em><\/a>, bringing him into the hands of fighting game fans for the first time in decades. The new anime and the fighting game collab together suggest the franchise’s owners are making a concerted push to reintroduce one of shonen’s all-time giants to a new generation \u2014 and it appears to be working.<\/p>\n
