A new anime adaptation was announced for Tetsuo Hara and Buronson’s classic Fist of the North Star manga back in September 2023, and now it’s eyeing a premiere window. The new series is penciled in for a 2026 premiere.
We can look forward to a teaser trailer during next weekend’s Anime Expo, at which the anime’s producer will be in attendance during the Warner Bros. industry panel. There will also be main cast announcements, with all-new actors waiting to be revealed. For now, a new visual arrived along with the news:
The manga ran until 1988 and inspired multiple anime adaptations, including the first series that ran from 1984 to 1987 and a 1986 feature film. There’re also live-action adaptations, OVAs, video games, pachinko machines, musicals and more.
VIZ Media releases the original manga in English. Here’s how the describe it:
Fist of the North Star Plot
In a postapocalyptic world, humanity has risen from the ashes of nuclear war, but only to a nightmare of endless suffering. It is a time of chaos. Gangs of savage marauders and warlords rule the broken ruins of civilization, terrorizing and enslaving the survivors. Life has become a brutal struggle for existence and death the only release.
One day, a wanderer appears out of the wasteland to bring justice to the guilty and hope for the people—a warrior named Ken who bears seven scars upon his chest and holds the deadly secrets of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken—the Divine Fist of the North Star!
