Fist of the North Star

Background Information
Fist of the North Star (or Hokuto no Ken) is an anime/manga series by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara. Considered to be one of the all - time classic shonen mangas, it is credited with giving Shonen Jump much of its popularity. Many contemporary mangakas were inspired by FOTNS as children. The story follows Kenshiro, a martial artist and successor to the deadly Hokuto Shinken fighting style, which can destroy an opponent internally by hitting their pressure points.

Several of the techniques shown in FOTNS are considered to be broken, especially the ultimate Hokuto Shinken technique, Muso Tensei.

Fist of the North Star is also known for the fact that it is one of the utter epitomes of being badass.

Standing in the Arena
Despite the fact that the HST has gotten many power ups over the years, FOTNS is still above the likes of it, and may be about as strong as Yu Yu Hakusho, if not stronger. However, it is below Dragon Ball in terms of overall power. (Part 2, at least.)
