The one and only, Fist Of The North Star!

 

And if this isn't the correct answer. Then you're wrong! lol

 

Pretty much all popular anime and games are derivations of Street Fighter II and Dragonball which lended heavily from Fist Of The North Star (which lends heavily from Violence Jack)

Reception and legacy

Fist of the North Star was one of Weekly Shōnen Jump's most popular titles during the 1980s. It is one of the best-selling manga series in history, with over 100 million copies sold worldwide (over 60 million copies in circulation in Japan).[54][55][56][57] In a poll conducted by TV Asahi in 2005 where it broadcast a popularity poll based on a nationwide survey, the Fist of the North Star anime series ranked 26th in a list of Top 100 anime TV series.[58] In a second poll in 2006 where TV Asahi published a list of Top 100 favorite anime series, it ranked 89th. In a celebrity version of the poll, the series ranked 15th.[59] In November 2014, readers of Da Vinci magazine voted Fist of the North Star as the eighth Weekly Shōnen Jump's greatest manga series of all time.[60] On TV Asahi's Manga Sōsenkyo 2021 poll, in which 150,000 people voted for their top 100 manga series, Fist of the North Star ranked 22nd.[61]

Impact

Fist of the North Star is considered one of the most influential manga series of all time. Geek.com called it "an epochal, generation-defining work that introduced madcap ultraviolence to the page and inspired tons of other manga artists".[62]Berserk creator Kentaro Miura named Fist of the North Star as the work that had the biggest impact on his own.[63]Vinland Saga author Makoto Yukimura was first inspired to become a manga artist after reading the series as a boy.[64]

It also had an influence on video games. Technōs Japan game designer Yoshihisa Kishimoto cited it as an influence on the setting and art style of arcade beat 'em up game Double Dragon (1987), which had a disaster-ridden city inspired by both Mad Max and Fist of the North Star.[65] It has also been credited with originating the fatality finishing move concept which later appeared in the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games.[66]

Internet memes

In the 2010s, Kenshiro's catchphrase "Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru" ("You Are Already Dead") became one of the most popular anime-based Internet memes.[67] In September 2017, music producer deadman 死人 (Noah Ryan Murphy) released the song "Omae Wa Mou" which references the meme and samples the Japanese song "Tiny Little Adiantum" (2013) from the Touhou Project video game music album Toho Bossa Nova 2. The rapper Lil Boom produced his own version of the song called "Already Dead" three months later. In 2019, "Omae Wa Mou" went viral on TikTok and topped Spotify's Viral 50 chart, before being taken off the chart after being struck with a copyright claim.[68]
