Fist of the North Star (1984)
The original Fist of the North Star streams on Crunchyroll — all 109 episodes of the 1984 Toei classic that built the post-apocalyptic martial-arts genre. This is where 'you are already dead' was born, and it remains gloriously, unapologetically itself.
About
After nuclear war shatters the world, the strong prey on the starving amid the ruins — biker gangs, tyrants, and mutant warlords carving up what's left. Against them stands Kenshiro, successor of Hokuto Shinken, a deadly art that strikes the body's hidden pressure points and lets its master end a fight before the opponent even knows it's over. Betrayed, scarred seven times across the chest, and stripped of the woman he loves, Kenshiro walks the wasteland delivering justice one exploding villain at a time — and slowly grows from avenger into the wasteland's reluctant savior.
