The key visual shows protagonist Kenshiro. However, you can only see him from behind, as he’s facing down a horde of enemies. This is a commemorative project to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Fist of the North Star. Warner Bros Japan plans on using the latest animation technology and make a faithful animated adaptation that’ll convey the charm and awesomeness of the original story. There will be a whole new staff and cast. More information on that, as well as the streaming platforms and release dates, will appear later.

Fist of the North Star is a highly influential and popular anime and manga series. It ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1983 to 1988, and has been collected into a total of 27 tankobon volumes. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth and follows Kenshiro, a warrior who can use the Hokuto Shinken martial art style. “Omae wa mou shindeiru” or “You’re already dead” is a memetic scene that most people have likely seen online, even if they don’t watch or read the series.

Fist of the North Star is in production and more information on it will appear in the future.
