This week on RetroNuts, you want to know how I got these 7 scars?

Good evening, welcome, it is episode 563 and today we are talking about another mega topic,

a topic that is actually larger than video games, although don't worry, we'll talk what's in video games,

because we're here to talk about fist of the North Star, aka Hokuto no Ken, aka Big Dipper Punch.

You call it what you want to call it, but you can call me Diamond Fight, because that's my name, I'm living in the 80s,

and I've got two guests today with me to talk about the Holy Church of Hokuto Shinkhen.

Let's start, actually I don't really know where anyone actually lives, so we'll start with the East Coast of the United States.

Yes, Kartelad if I'm hardcore gaming 101, I rate a lot about old video games, including fist of North Star.

Excellent, and I know you've been on our program many times before, welcome back.

And somewhere in the Central Time Zone?

Hello everyone, it's Toughboy Brian Clark from 1 Million Power.

I also write about video game stuff, translate video game stuff, including some fist of the North Star stuff a while ago on 1 Million Power.

That is excellent, and 1 Million Power, that's a good website name for someone who talks with fist of North Star,

because this is a very powerful media property.

This is about, let's be honest, mostly men, and they're incredibly muscular, and they're very, very strong,

and when they punch each other, things happen to the earth.

It's not just about punching someone in Yannaka Toothloose, these are men who punch each other and buildings fall down.

That's the kind of property we're talking about today.

But before we get into the who's in the what's in the house, I'd like to know the why's in the wins.

First of all, I want you to tell me please, when did you discover the ways of the fist of North Star?

Brian, I think you've probably, this is probably your first time back in the longest time, so why don't you start off and tell us about your first taste of the fist?

Sure, so my first taste, and this is probably a fairly common story I would assume of people my age.
