Fist of The North Star is arguably the prototype for almost all modern shonen series. Dragon Ball (specifically during Z), Jojo (at least in the first 3 arcs) and Berserk were all in some way influenced by North Star. And that influence is multiplied when u take into account how influential THOSE three series became.
@@rainofkhandaq6678 That's what i remembered too. Kenshiro fighting style and attitude was based off of Bruce Lee and partially Mad Max, and his outfit and design was from Mad Max. But his overall hair style and physical appearance was of Sylverster Stallone.
Fist of the North Star is that shonen made during the era where japanese people just wanted to see action movie characters but put into japanese and then late 80s shonen like JoJo and DB took that and made it have more substance in terms of storytelling (although the original Dragon Ball was more about a comedy series than an actual shonen) so yeah, it's kind of like an accidental prototype of modern shonen
@@TheMixedPlateFrequency For as old as it is its impressive how much its plot does hold. it doesnt age well in a lot of areas but its still very solid.
Kenshiro is such a badass even when he's being compassionate. Ryuken made Raoh(Ken's oldest brother) and Ken fight a Tiger and when Ken had his turn he just approached the tiger and raised his hand making the tiger stand down. When it was Raoh's turn, the tiger attacked him but got killed and beheaded by Raoh instantly. Raoh of course belittled Kenshiro by saying that he was so weak that the tiger didn't think of him as a threat and that's why it didn't attack him but Ryuken said that in fact, the tiger was so scared of Kenshiro that it refused to attack because it knew that Kenshiro would spare it's life in exchange. But as for Raoh, the tiger attacked because it panicked and knew it would die if it didn't at least try to fight back. Which is also why Ken got chosen to be the successor over Raoh. Only someone who knows the weight of taking a life can receive the power to take one away so easily.
Funny thing, when Kenshiro dropped that building on his head and walked through it, some guys were watching this happen and thought, "Yep this invincible god desert hobo is an excellent person to rob, let's attack him." Bad guys in Fist of the North Star are not smart people.
Kinda like when normal people with clubs and pitchforks are trying to attack Geralt in the Witcher series. The same guy THEY KNOW can kill monsters and is so good at slaughtering people he got the nickname the Butcher of Blaviken
Fun fact: Mortal kombat fatalities inspired by Fist of the north star (kenshiros show) but it's also one of the highest grossing franchises in history.
fist of the north star is basically the granddaddy of all battle manga inspired most of the other mangas that followed it like dragon ball and jojo and the likes.
The author for hokuto no ken, directly worked with miura(berserks author)in his early career and it’s not very known, but he led miura to go darker in story tones but use lighter art styles to bring more life to the world and characters. He’s also been credited by toryama the author for dragon ball for the inspiration of goku as well as sun wukong aka the monkey god of chinas mythos. But he’s a very interesting guy, and how he made the powers system for hokuto no ken is very cool. He came up with it while at an acupuncturist in china, he saw how pressure points could be assaulted/manipulated and had a deep interest in martial arts, so he made ken and based him off his two favorite people/characters, Bruce lee and mad max.
Jojos is so good for content. The characters so unique. Would love to see some stands explained, or opening reactions maybe some theme reactions. Basically I’d just love to see more jojo content😅
Fist of the Northstar is a classic. Original anime (From which the video footage came) 1984-1988. 156 Episodes in 6 seasons.. (From which the video footage came) About a hero who isn't one, at least not from his point of view and never smiles, but still wants to do good in a world full of villains who all have a reason for what they do, and some can be redeemed even if they don't deserve it. Therein lies the humanity. Kenshiro understands his opponents, like his brother in spirit. "Son Goku" but he is doing this for fun and protect his friends. Kenshiro is smart and he can be heartless if he needs too, but his hate for the world never comsumes him, like his villians did.
Normally I really hate when people comment with "oh you should watch this 800 episode show if you liked that 3 minute clip!" But for Fist of the North star, there is an animated movie from 1986 that summarized the whole show and hits all the best beats. It's gory as hell but takes the absurd concept of Bruce Lee using acupuncture kung fu in Mad Max world very seriously, and somehow makes you unironically care. Definitely would recommend it for anyone who wants the experience, just bring a barf bag, it gets gruesome.
Balrog vs Tj Combo is another good DB suggestion...if it wasn't mentioned before. Also: Ganon vs Dracula. Vlad vs Dracula ERB. Dante vs Bayonetta which I Know will come. Dio vs Alucard. Jonathan vs Tanjiro. John Talbain vs Sabrewulf. So....Touhou vids music, then Ghost Trick, Darkstalkers trailers... what else I didn't mention at all? Touhou 15.5 AoCF - All Last Words is pretty fun. Hmmm....I still not remember all of the other suggestions. Welp...look out below this comment for more once I remember them. Oh and there are a few new Genshin trailers...of course. But for muuuuch later. Im compiling everything here since I'm gonna forget later anyway.
This fight felt a bit unfair only because the version of jotaro they use is this weird amalgam that takes some of the worst parts of jotaro and some of the best parts where kenshiro is just at his best. For example, jotaro in parts 4 and onward would never let star platinum go so far away from him as to allow kenshiro that close because hes matured but part 3 jotaro would be naive enough to do so.
Fun fact: Ken has his heart stopped completely for several days on end and survives. Apparently, it's a secret techinque to RECOVER the body so the whole Jotaro timestop, grasp heart doesn't work on Ken.
In case you were wondering, for this battle they did nerf both characters, but mainly Kenshiro Some of kenshiro's abilities: - atomic level regeneration, able to fully heal from being completely atomized almost instantly - Faster than light speeds - continent level attack potency, where even at 30% he outclassed someone who created a supercell cloud and tornado that was felt for dozens to possibly hundreds of miles with a single punch WHILE succumbing to his own wounds - Can go to 200% fighting power with his art of dragon's breathing, since his ancestor could and he has all the abilities of previous Hokuto users and MORE - fighting while dead by having his soul jump out of his body until his body healed - ignoring regeneration on opponents - his regen ignores attacks meant to negate regen - can attack with his bloodlust/killing intent alone - can directly attack souls - can resist attacks to his soul - using Musou Tensei, can cease to be fact and become theoretical as well as trascend void itself - using the original Hokuto, can manipulate void - has illusion-based attacks than can completely warp minds, wills, etc - can copy entire fighting styles by fighting against them once - can perfectly copy any technique mid-fight, along with the opponent's experience using it, but only once per fight - can summon a literal god of combat to assist him in a fight - can negate his own fighting style being used against him without even moving - can use his fighting style against opponents when THEY hit HIM, simply by injecting his ki into them upon contact - everything you saw in the video and so much more It is entirely possible that Ken could simply copy Jotaro's stand abilities, but even if not, Ken can attack souls which means he could attack stands
Haha! I guess my words were bigger than I thought This was one of the most controversial videos Death Battle has made due to some misinformation that they haven't quite gotten these skills exactly yet it's quite complicated than you think, but it is one of my favorites just to have two of the most badass anime characters to ever exist to duke it out, although I am quite biased for Kenshiro, YOU WA SHOCK!
Death Battle seems to get a lot of things incorrect with the anime characters. It was still fun learning more about both of them and now we are more into Fist of the Northstar. At least, more curious about it 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Please check it out, it's my dad's favorite so is it mine's. It's old but it's gold, and it even shaped the entire modern shonen anime with it's gimmicks and style. Even JOJO was inspired by this anime (atleast the first part) and also don't forget the funny moments it has. It's hard to come across some media of it now but I recommend looking at the game, Fist Of The North Star: Los Paradise, it was made by the same people who made the Yakuza series, so like it you should check out the compilation of secret techniques, I also recommend looking at the Japanese dub of it rather than the english one, but you are free to choose whichever you'd like.
Useless Funfact: Yep, that was He-Man at the beginning ^^ To be certain the He-Man from the great and only first reboot that should exsists, back in 2002/2003 it has great animation and a whole new storyline to it.
Amazing video keep up the good work, also i just saw your naruto storm reactions and i think you should react to some naruto death battles, might guy vs all might, sasuke vs hiei, madara vs aizen, naruto vs ichigo are really good ones
Like people said, they got a ton of things wrong about both series, like Kenshiro doesn't need to be in Musou Tensei to use the techniques of others, every grandmaster learns a secret technique that seemingly connects with the spirits of their foes and through one single glance can instantly learn and master any martial arts style they come across, just by his adventures, Kenshiro knows and is a master of more than a 100 fighting styles he can use anytime, he just prefers to stick with Hokuto Shinken. Or the fact that Hokuto Shinken masters can absorb the fighting aura of their foes or even the energy of the world or nature itself, which by Death Battle's logic, means he could have absorbed Star Platinum, though he only used this in his first fight against Raoh, or at least the only time it's said out loud he uses this, as he and Raoh were around a bunch of fighters and absorbing the energy around him allowed Kenshiro to float in the sky and have a blue aura all around him...he basically looked like a blue man supercharged with Touki he was absorbing from around him and his own, a technique so damn useful...he only uses it once in the anime and manga even against foes whose fighting styles are all about using Touki and thus absorbing theirs would have made them become pathetic...guess Kenshiro just wanted to give them a chance to show off.
Thanks for the reaction. To be fair, all Jotaro need to do was stop the time and let Star Platinum crush Kenshiro's heart. Durabilty was never a concern because Star Platinum can phase through an object, including human body.
Kenshiro has regenerated from having his heart crushed before with no problems. Jagi tanked a nuke 2.5 Billion times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima when he was young. Kenshiro killed him like he was a mosquito.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrassesHe's able to heal wound and damaged organ but not if it's completely crushed, because at that point he'll be "already dead". Kenshiro's regeneration isn't that powerful and on a weaker side. It's not a crazy regeneration like, let's say Majin Buu who can regenerate from nothing. And again, durability doesn't mean anything if the opponent can just phase through your body and destroy your internal organs
@@hiruman1421 from what I remember, Jotaro's only able to phase through himself. Kenshiro is MFTL+. Jotaro would never get the chance to stop time. Kenshiro has regenerated from being erased from existence. On top of that, Kenshiro has infinite speed feats, so it's doubtful whether a time stop would even work on him.
Jotaro would never freeze time when there were multiple copies of an opponent to check. They forget how much of a genius Jotaro is. He would freeze time and punch out Kenshiro's heart in a heartbeat.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses Jotaro is MFTL+ aswell, atleast Mountain level. He also has dura neg, but i suppose kenshiro would win solely because of regen
@@blackdarkness6798 Netflix has that spin off? I had no idea. Is it in like the "extras" season or something? Man I hope the manga spin-off from Part 3 gets animated at some point. Also for anybody else reading the censorship in the old Fist of the Northstar anime is kind of iconic, it makes an awesome different aesthetic.
This is one of the more debated death battles. I think the most debated were goku vs Superman and Ben 10 vs Green Lantern. Also, random bit of curiosity, do you guys have any pets?
That's only because DeathBattle is brain dead. Kenshiro would godstomp Jotaro. People talk about how Jotaro would stop time and crush Kenshiro's heart, but even if he had the strength to do so, Kenshiro has regenerated from having his heart destroyed before. Kenshiro was definitely FTL by the time he fought Souther,. By the time he fights Kaioh, he's MFTL+. Jotaro wouldn't even be able to react fast enough to stop time. Jagi tanked a nuke 2.5 Billion times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, and Kenshiro killed him like a mosquito early in the series. Kenshiro can make people explode from hundreds of meters away. People say Kenshiro can't harm Star Platinum, but Kenshiro can destroy spirits. Kenshiro can send people to the shadow realm with Anryu Tenha. Kenshiro can force people into a death match in a realm where the fighting spirit doesn't exist with Soryu Tenra. Kenshiro's aura cripple fighters, even those stronger than him who are completely fearless, with instinctual fear. Kenshiro once exchanged blows with Falco, and the sky cleared from horizon to horizon and the ground split from the shockwave.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses When did Jagi display that feat, also when did Kenshiro show that ability I thought only Kaioh or any Hokuto ryu ken user can use it
One of my favorites just cause I’m a jojo fan, although I do think that jotaro should’ve won. One thinking death battle got wrong here is that kenshiro even if he could see star platinum wouldn’t be able to touch him at all. Non stand users can’t touch stands (except for a few specific situations). Also crushing his heart would’ve been a lot better planned
In case you were wondering, for this battle they did nerf both characters, but mainly Kenshiro Some of kenshiro's abilities: - atomic level regeneration, able to fully heal from being completely atomized almost instantly - Faster than light speeds - continent level attack potency, where even at 30% he outclassed someone who created a supercell cloud and tornado that was felt for dozens to possibly hundreds of miles with a single punch WHILE succumbing to his own wounds - Can go to 200% fighting power with his art of dragon's breathing, since his ancestor could and he has all the abilities of previous Hokuto users and MORE - fighting while dead by having his soul jump out of his body until his body healed - ignoring regeneration on opponents - his regen ignores attacks meant to negate regen - can attack with his bloodlust/killing intent alone - can directly attack souls - can resist attacks to his soul - using Musou Tensei, can cease to be fact and become theoretical as well as trascend void itself - using the original Hokuto, can manipulate void - has illusion-based attacks than can completely warp minds, wills, etc - can copy entire fighting styles by fighting against them once - can perfectly copy any technique mid-fight, along with the opponent's experience using it, but only once per fight - can summon a literal god of combat to assist him in a fight - can negate his own fighting style being used against him without even moving - can use his fighting style against opponents when THEY hit HIM, simply by injecting his ki into them upon contact - everything you saw in the video and so much more It is entirely possible that Ken could simply copy Jotaro's stand abilities, but even if not, Ken can attack souls, life-forces, and fighting spirit directly, which means he could attack stands. With Jotaro the biggest nerf was speed, but also how automatic Star Platinum is. Speed-wise Star Platinum, while holding back, was able to keep up with Silver Chariot wielding Anubis which would more than double Chariot's attack speed. Chariot itself is FTL, as his he performed a full swing of his sword while Hanged Man was still traveling and was visually barely moving, meaning that Chariot's swing even WITH armor was far faster than Hanged Man's movment. The problem was simply that Polnareff doesn't have the reaction speed that Chariot does and can't share senses as shown with Lovers (which also showed that Heirophant Green can't share senses with Kakyoin, maybe proving the ability is rare) and Ebony Devil. Star Platinum on the other hand can directly share his enhanced senses with Jotaro such as the fight against Sun. So SP is definitely several times faster than light, and Jotaro would definitely have that as his reaction time. He might be faster than Kenshiro, but it is hard to say. But Ken beats him in every other category including hax. So even if SP/Jotaro is faster, it's like a fly fighting against Godzillla.
@@GokuInfintysaiyan I think, theoretically speaking, Kenshiro *could* gain Star Platinum when he defeats Jotaro through Muso Tensei's ability to connect with the souls of his allies and rivals and use their techniques.
When it comes to anime in general new or old, just watch one, it doesn't matter which one it is, just watch one episode, especially when it comes to, fist of the North Star, it's one of The inspirations behind, JoJo's bizarre Adventure, but I knew that Kenshiro was going to be the winner, of this contest, I totally forgot, about this death battle..
Ken has an excellent strategy. he will confuse The F&$# out of you to get his way. I feel sorry for Bethany, when she asked him who’s turn is it to wash the dishes. Ken “ it’s your turn honey. because it’s Tuesday, not Thursday today. And it’s 9:48 not 8:49. And it’s 2 weeks and 23 days to the next holiday, not 3 weeks and 32 days. And the last parents birthday we celebrated was my dad’s dad birthda…” Bethany” just forget it, I’ll do them.” Ken “ OK sweetie, love you.” (dark ending) Bethany “ yes Officer, I don’t know what happened.”
hokuto shinken is one of the most fuck-busted fighting styles ever! it can make a person tell you the truth, make them inhale until they died, cure sickness, heal blindness, raise the dead and make you fall in love with the first person you see.
Jotaro for some bizarre reason has the bodybuilder physic despite have 17 years old, this thing ends When he defeats Dio, after that his body regains a normal size Kenshiro is from a series Of 80's, the gore and violencia Of this series where differents from now
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! BEEN WANTING YOU BOTH TO WATCH THIS DEATH BATTLE….. KENSHIRO IS UNBEATABLE!!!!! Also I am disappointed in you Ken the name of the series is called Fist of the North Star or Hokuto no Ken You have both chosen…………. Wisely Ken: “But now I’m more interested in fist of the north……” Me: that one was on purpose!!!! Anyways I highly recommend the original anime movie, however it’s been highly edited because the original version of the film was sooo graphic that it had to be censored before being released to home video, unfortunately current editions of the 86 film have missing scenes or blurred animation frames, and a completely different ending that was made because parents and toei animation did not like the original ending. After that check out Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise it came out in 2018 and used the Yakuza gameplay to tell a condensed version of the main story of the series… There was also a very short lived but hilarious fan dub on here called Dub of the North Star…. Created by Weeklytubeshow Also when you get to the cell games arc in DBZ Abridged, Check out the Cell VS shorts your going to be in for a surprise. If you can’t tell I am I huge fan of Hokuto No Ken, so much so I bought the Prime1 Studios statue of the godly legend.. and no I don’t regret buying a $500 dollar statue that’s bigger than my PS5.
I am a die hard Jojo fan (honestly one of the greatest, if not the greatest anime of all time). That said, I can't deny the result. Because of his pressure point kill silliness the argument basically boils down to can Kenshiro get to Jotaro at least once, if so he wins and yes with everything he has it stands to reason throughout the course of a fight he'd certainly be able to tag Jojo at least once.
Yeah. Death Battle made this seem a lot closer than it actually would be, and they couldn't even stay consistent with their own argument. This should have been one of the worst mismatches ever. JoJo scaling and Fist of the North Star scaling just aren't in the same ballpark. It's like a cage match between a gray wolf and a dire wolf; they may look similar in size, but the dire wolf is more heavily built with a greater bite force. It just isn't fair.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses they usually do with the battles because after all the battles are supposed to be entertainment and not an authentic depiction of how the fight would play out. They even acknowledge this usually in their wrap ups to a degree when explaining why they picked who won in their estimate. Though I wouldn't call this one a mismatch. Realistically Kenshiro could do nothing about Star Platinum and would lose if he couldn't get to Jotaro directly which given the time stop and platinum speed would certainly make it a challenge. In fact the actually downplayed Star Platinum as we learned in a later battle with new feats to consider Star Platinum is dramatically faster and stronger then their estimates here and would be more than capable of likely killing Kenshiro. Just at the end of the day kenshiro is capable of a lot of bonkers stuff too so you could never really make the argument he'd never be able to hit him ever and he only needs to get that one hit.
@@gorgeouszanKensiro is MFTL+. Jotaro is 50×FTL. Kenshiro can easily disintegrate Jotaro just by punching the air. Kenshiro has had his heart destroyed before, and he regenerated it in a few seconds with no stamina loss by getting angry. Kenshiro can destroy spirits. Kenshiro has a manifestation of the fighting spirit, the god of war, Indra. Kenshiro can also summon the goddess of Hokuto, who can attack and take a person's fighting aura. Jagi tanked a nuke 2.5 billion times more powerful than the one used on Hiroshima, and Kenshiro killed him like a mosquito near the beginning of the series. Kenshiro has come back from being erased from existence. Kenshiro has infinite speed feats, so time stop might not even work on him. Kenshiro can counter and replicate any technique after seeing it once. Kenshiro is untouchable in Musou Tensei. Kenshiro can just use Anryu Tenha to trap Jotaro in an inescapable pocket dimension. Kenshiro can use Soryu Tenra to force his opponent into a deathmatch in a plane of existence where the fighting spirit doesn't exist. Kenshiro can use hundreds of techniques to shred Jotaro with pressurized air waves. Kenshiro can use hundreds of techniques to make Jotaro explode without even touching him. Kenshiro can replicate and counter abilities that manipulate space time after they're used on him once, even if the powerwas completely foreign to him and he didn't know anything about it. Kenshiro's aura can completely paralyze others, even if they're srtronger than him and completely fearless, with instinctual fear. Kenshiro has perfected Musou Tensei, which makes its user completely invulnerable to all attack, unless the opponent has Musou Tensei or made their own demonic aura technique designed specifically to counter Musou Tensei. Kemshiro can fights for two weeks straight without any sustenance or rest. Kenshiro can keep fighting while he's asleep. Kenshiro can keep fighting as a spirit avatar when he's medically dead. I was trying to put it politely, but it seems that's not enough. Jotaro gets godstomped.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses Some of those things I honestly had not heard of so admittedly calling his stuff bonkers now sounds like an understatement. Makes you wonder what the writer staff was high on went doing Fist of the North Star.
Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventures and Fist of the North Star ... Oh my! Great animation, great fights and some very good twists, but it need a couple of dozend episodes to understand the epicness, and my time is to short lately to get into this. The only thing i don't like it has to many make fighters for my taste (Yeah i like dragonball :P But for childhood reasons) But it is definitely a right worth it.
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 It's older than me actually. Started in January 1, 1987 - present. = JoJo over 130 Manga and 5 seasons 150+ Episodes. And it's gets good around episode 80+ in my eyes Fist of the Northstar without OVA specials and TV Specials. 152 Episodes.
Ah fist of the north star...one of my top 5 animes of all time. It's definitely one you should check out. It gets very brutal. Like Bethany perfectly mentioned about revenge stories...I love such. Adds the element of anticipation. Jojos bizarre adventure I'll have to get back into watching. Used to read the manga on books. Overall no doubt kenshiro wins this bout. Some recommendations for deathbattle Dante vs bayonetta Cloud vs link (2 separate deathbattles) Deadpool vs the mask (love it) Sephiroth vs Vergil So many death battles to see :)
inner jojo fan wants me to be mad, but jotaro is totally the dude to expect this guy to pull out a stand at any moment and not pay too much attention to a singular press.
This fight was a ridiculous mismatch. Kenshiro's Demon Aura would kill Jotaro the instant he got within a few hundred meters of him. His Demon Aura would smother Star Platinum. Jotaro would be completely paralyzed by the instinctual terror Kenshiro induces with his presence.
Jotaro may be tough and could potentially get some lucky wins against Kenshiro. But the biggest deciding factor is that Kenshiro only needs one touch on Jotaro and its done. That instantly gives him the highest percentage of battles won between the two
Kenshiro is hundreds of thousands of times faster than Jotaro. Kenshiro killed Jagi like a mosquito, the same Jagi who tanked a nuke 2.5 billion times more powerful than Hiroshima. This is such a mismatch that Kenshiro can just use his fighting aura to make Jotaro explode from hundreds of meters away, use his ability to destroy spirits to erase Star Platinum, or he can just blink and kill Jotaro from the shockwave.
The only complaint I have with this death battle is that Jotaro 100% would've been able to dodge kenshiro striking his pressure point, this battle makes it look like Jotaro is useless without his stand when he isn't
You should react to the DIO vs Alucard Death Battle next. The two most badass vampires in anime history face each other to see who is the best. And the voice acting, animation, and music is superb compared to this death battle fight
I have never watched fist of the north star before so before watching the vid i thought jotaro would just simply stop time and beat the hell out of kenshiro 😂😂

To me...I Feel Kenshiro is so much like Bruce lee....inhuman power never fully understood, screaming in a eagle or shrilly voice....just add more muscles and there u have it...
My only problem with the death battle is that they made kenshiro able to see jotaros stand even though he can only see it if he has a stand and the weakened jotaro by saying that saying he can’t punch at light speed with stopping time
You literally just said that Death Battle made Kenshiro use of his abilities? Kenshiro is able to see and interact with fighting spirits, and Stands are described as physical manifestations of fighting spirit. They literally explain this in the video.
Kenshiro is MFTL+. He can see fighting spirits. He can destroy spirits. He killed Jagi, who tanked a nuke 2.5 billion times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, as if he was a mosquito early in the series. This DeathBattle downplayed Jotaro, but it spit on Kenshiro.
Both of these guys are my favorites lol I don't know which one to root for. Also the fight itself is a toss-up because it could go either way because both of these guys can kill each other easily lol.
No. There's nothing Jotaro can do to Kenshiro. He doesn't have the attack potency or the speed to do crap against him. Kenshiro has regenerated from being disintegrated. He's MFTL+ and planetary. Jotaro would be disintegrated instantly by Kenshiro's Demon Aura, which has a hell of a lot more reach than five meters.
Yeah but jotaro’s stand is as strong as the world (dios stand) so like I feel like this was an equal fight but if this was jotaro in future parts I would say jojo wins

Kenshiro is such a badass even when he's being compassionate. Ryuken made Raoh(Ken's oldest brother) and Ken fight a Tiger and when Ken had his turn he just approached the tiger and raised his hand making the tiger stand down. When it was Raoh's turn, the tiger attacked him but got killed and beheaded by Raoh instantly. Raoh of course belittled Kenshiro by saying that he was so weak that the tiger didn't think of him as a threat and that's why it didn't attack him but Ryuken said that in fact, the tiger was so scared of Kenshiro that it refused to attack because it knew that Kenshiro would spare it's life in exchange. But as for Raoh, the tiger attacked because it panicked and knew it would die if it didn't at least try to fight back. Which is also why Ken got chosen to be the successor over Raoh. Only someone who knows the weight of taking a life can receive the power to take one away so easily.
That last line is so well said

The author for hokuto no ken, directly worked with miura(berserks author)in his early career and it’s not very known, but he led miura to go darker in story tones but use lighter art styles to bring more life to the world and characters. He’s also been credited by toryama the author for dragon ball for the inspiration of goku as well as sun wukong aka the monkey god of chinas mythos. But he’s a very interesting guy, and how he made the powers system for hokuto no ken is very cool. He came up with it while at an acupuncturist in china, he saw how pressure points could be assaulted/manipulated and had a deep interest in martial arts, so he made ken and based him off his two favorite people/characters, Bruce lee and mad max.
Jojos is so good for content. The characters so unique. Would love to see some stands explained, or opening reactions maybe some theme reactions. Basically I’d just love to see more jojo content😅
😎👍🙂 we can accommodate that request in the future
Fist of the Northstar is a classic. Original anime (From which the video footage came) 1984-1988. 156 Episodes in 6 seasons..
(From which the video footage came)
About a hero who isn't one, at least not from his point of view and never smiles, but still wants to do good in a world full of villains who all have a reason for what they do, and some can be redeemed even if they don't deserve it. Therein lies the humanity. Kenshiro understands his opponents, like his brother in spirit. "Son Goku" but he is doing this for fun and protect his friends.
Kenshiro is smart and he can be heartless if he needs too, but his hate for the world never comsumes him, like his villians did.
Normally I really hate when people comment with "oh you should watch this 800 episode show if you liked that 3 minute clip!" But for Fist of the North star, there is an animated movie from 1986 that summarized the whole show and hits all the best beats. It's gory as hell but takes the absurd concept of Bruce Lee using acupuncture kung fu in Mad Max world very seriously, and somehow makes you unironically care.
Definitely would recommend it for anyone who wants the experience, just bring a barf bag, it gets gruesome.
End of the manga Kenshiro stomps in 3 seconds.
_Fist of the North Star_ tagline: "You're already a fan."
Kenshiro is a template for the art of being "badass"! ❤
Balrog vs Tj Combo is another good DB suggestion...if it wasn't mentioned before.
Also:
Ganon vs Dracula. Vlad vs Dracula ERB. Dante vs Bayonetta which I Know will come. Dio vs Alucard. Jonathan vs Tanjiro. John Talbain vs Sabrewulf.
So....Touhou vids music, then Ghost Trick, Darkstalkers trailers... what else I didn't mention at all?
Touhou 15.5 AoCF - All Last Words is pretty fun.
Hmmm....I still not remember all of the other suggestions. Welp...look out below this comment for more once I remember them.
Oh and there are a few new Genshin trailers...of course. But for muuuuch later.
Im compiling everything here since I'm gonna forget later anyway.
The nickname makes more sense in japanese ... because they say the family name first, it's Kujo Jotaro.
Thanks for explaining that. Was wondering why the two Jos 🙂
This fight felt a bit unfair only because the version of jotaro they use is this weird amalgam that takes some of the worst parts of jotaro and some of the best parts where kenshiro is just at his best. For example, jotaro in parts 4 and onward would never let star platinum go so far away from him as to allow kenshiro that close because hes matured but part 3 jotaro would be naive enough to do so.
Are you joking? Kenshiro was lowballed to hell. Kenshiro could vaporize Jotaro simply by blinking millions of times faster than light.
@@rhythmkhandelwal2940 like I said, some of his best and some of his worst.
Fun fact: Ken has his heart stopped completely for several days on end and survives. Apparently, it's a secret techinque to RECOVER the body so the whole Jotaro timestop, grasp heart doesn't work on Ken.
@@MinecraftLovesSteveI swear Star Platinum had a range of like 15 metres in Part 3
@@janedoe71253facts
Ahh Kenshiro...if Bruce Lee and Mel Gibson from 'The Road Warrior' had a love child this would be it!
In case you were wondering, for this battle they did nerf both characters, but mainly Kenshiro
Some of kenshiro's abilities:
- atomic level regeneration, able to fully heal from being completely atomized almost instantly
- Faster than light speeds
- continent level attack potency, where even at 30% he outclassed someone who created a supercell cloud and tornado that was felt for dozens to possibly hundreds of miles with a single punch WHILE succumbing to his own wounds
- Can go to 200% fighting power with his art of dragon's breathing, since his ancestor could and he has all the abilities of previous Hokuto users and MORE
- fighting while dead by having his soul jump out of his body until his body healed
- ignoring regeneration on opponents
- his regen ignores attacks meant to negate regen
- can attack with his bloodlust/killing intent alone
- can directly attack souls
- can resist attacks to his soul
- using Musou Tensei, can cease to be fact and become theoretical as well as trascend void itself
- using the original Hokuto, can manipulate void
- has illusion-based attacks than can completely warp minds, wills, etc
- can copy entire fighting styles by fighting against them once
- can perfectly copy any technique mid-fight, along with the opponent's experience using it, but only once per fight
- can summon a literal god of combat to assist him in a fight
- can negate his own fighting style being used against him without even moving
- can use his fighting style against opponents when THEY hit HIM, simply by injecting his ki into them upon contact
- everything you saw in the video and so much more
It is entirely possible that Ken could simply copy Jotaro's stand abilities, but even if not, Ken can attack souls which means he could attack stands
Oh damn! That’s a a lot of abilities they left off 😳
Haha! I guess my words were bigger than I thought
This was one of the most controversial videos Death Battle has made due to some misinformation that they haven't quite gotten these skills exactly yet it's quite complicated than you think, but it is one of my favorites just to have two of the most badass anime characters to ever exist to duke it out, although I am quite biased for Kenshiro, YOU WA SHOCK!
Yeah. Next thing you know, they'll be pitting Guldo against the Living Tribunal and saying they can both punch pretty hard.
Death Battle seems to get a lot of things incorrect with the anime characters. It was still fun learning more about both of them and now we are more into Fist of the Northstar. At least, more curious about it 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Please check it out, it's my dad's favorite so is it mine's. It's old but it's gold, and it even shaped the entire modern shonen anime with it's gimmicks and style. Even JOJO was inspired by this anime (atleast the first part) and also don't forget the funny moments it has. It's hard to come across some media of it now but I recommend looking at the game, Fist Of The North Star: Los Paradise, it was made by the same people who made the Yakuza series, so like it you should check out the compilation of secret techniques, I also recommend looking at the Japanese dub of it rather than the english one, but you are free to choose whichever you'd like.
Useless Funfact: Yep, that was He-Man at the beginning ^^ To be certain the He-Man from the great and only first reboot that should exsists, back in 2002/2003 it has great animation and a whole new storyline to it.
So glad you both went for Kenshiro!!!
Amazing video keep up the good work, also i just saw your naruto storm reactions and i think you should react to some naruto death battles, might guy vs all might, sasuke vs hiei, madara vs aizen, naruto vs ichigo are really good ones
We plan to check out more Naruto 🙂
When it comes to anime death battles I would recommend dio vs Alucard or madara vs Aizen those are some of my favorites
Yes. Let's recommend all the brain dead Death Battles and misinform them even more. Good thinking.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses which one is brain dead?
Love the animation in Dio vs Alucard. Great VA choices too.
The true highlight of this vid is seeing you two’s reactions to Kenshiro’s handiwork. 😂😂
Like people said, they got a ton of things wrong about both series, like Kenshiro doesn't need to be in Musou Tensei to use the techniques of others, every grandmaster learns a secret technique that seemingly connects with the spirits of their foes and through one single glance can instantly learn and master any martial arts style they come across, just by his adventures, Kenshiro knows and is a master of more than a 100 fighting styles he can use anytime, he just prefers to stick with Hokuto Shinken.
Or the fact that Hokuto Shinken masters can absorb the fighting aura of their foes or even the energy of the world or nature itself, which by Death Battle's logic, means he could have absorbed Star Platinum, though he only used this in his first fight against Raoh, or at least the only time it's said out loud he uses this, as he and Raoh were around a bunch of fighters and absorbing the energy around him allowed Kenshiro to float in the sky and have a blue aura all around him...he basically looked like a blue man supercharged with Touki he was absorbing from around him and his own, a technique so damn useful...he only uses it once in the anime and manga even against foes whose fighting styles are all about using Touki and thus absorbing theirs would have made them become pathetic...guess Kenshiro just wanted to give them a chance to show off.
Tigerzord(Power Rangers) VS Gundam Epyon (Gundam Wing) | DEATH BATTLE!
Another great one !
Thanks for the reaction.
To be fair, all Jotaro need to do was stop the time and let Star Platinum crush Kenshiro's heart. Durabilty was never a concern because Star Platinum can phase through an object, including human body.
It was a bit weird when kenshiro was able to touch star platinum
Kenshiro has regenerated from having his heart crushed before with no problems. Jagi tanked a nuke 2.5 Billion times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima when he was young. Kenshiro killed him like he was a mosquito.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrassesHe's able to heal wound and damaged organ but not if it's completely crushed, because at that point he'll be "already dead". Kenshiro's regeneration isn't that powerful and on a weaker side. It's not a crazy regeneration like, let's say Majin Buu who can regenerate from nothing.
And again, durability doesn't mean anything if the opponent can just phase through your body and destroy your internal organs
@@hiruman1421 from what I remember, Jotaro's only able to phase through himself. Kenshiro is MFTL+. Jotaro would never get the chance to stop time. Kenshiro has regenerated from being erased from existence. On top of that, Kenshiro has infinite speed feats, so it's doubtful whether a time stop would even work on him.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses Star platinum can phase through anything. First episode showed it.
Jotaro would never freeze time when there were multiple copies of an opponent to check. They forget how much of a genius Jotaro is. He would freeze time and punch out Kenshiro's heart in a heartbeat.
They got everything wrong. Kenshiro's MFTL+ and planetary. Kenshiro's Aura alone would be enough to wipe Jotaro from existence.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses don't wank
Unless he was gonna beat tf out of every single copy while time was frozen lmao
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses Jotaro is MFTL+ aswell, atleast Mountain level. He also has dura neg, but i suppose kenshiro would win solely because of regen
@@sirjoesphjoestar8361 MFTL+? You're joking, right? There's no way you actually believe Jotaro is ×1000 FTL.
Love these reactions! Meta vs Carolina is one of my favorites! Also Yang v Tifa. Great animation! Thanks!
Will probably do Yang vs Tifa after we watch RWBY more and play Final Fantasy 7 😀
There is a Fist of the North Star game called Lost Paradise. Check the trailers to it!
Very excited to see some JoJo popping up! I'm sure this'll be a good one as always :)
😎🤟🥳
I honestly have never seen either of these franchises but now that I've seen a bit of what both can do i might just check out both series
Glad we aren’t the only ones experiencing these for the first time 🤗
Definitely do.
@@blackdarkness6798 Netflix has that spin off? I had no idea. Is it in like the "extras" season or something? Man I hope the manga spin-off from Part 3 gets animated at some point.
Also for anybody else reading the censorship in the old Fist of the Northstar anime is kind of iconic, it makes an awesome different aesthetic.
9:30 when u witness the power of hokuto shinken for the first time
This is one of the more debated death battles. I think the most debated were goku vs Superman and Ben 10 vs Green Lantern.
Also, random bit of curiosity, do you guys have any pets?
They have a pet dog:D
That's only because DeathBattle is brain dead.
Kenshiro would godstomp Jotaro. People talk about how Jotaro would stop time and crush Kenshiro's heart, but even if he had the strength to do so, Kenshiro has regenerated from having his heart destroyed before. Kenshiro was definitely FTL by the time he fought Souther,. By the time he fights Kaioh, he's MFTL+. Jotaro wouldn't even be able to react fast enough to stop time. Jagi tanked a nuke 2.5 Billion times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, and Kenshiro killed him like a mosquito early in the series. Kenshiro can make people explode from hundreds of meters away. People say Kenshiro can't harm Star Platinum, but Kenshiro can destroy spirits. Kenshiro can send people to the shadow realm with Anryu Tenha. Kenshiro can force people into a death match in a realm where the fighting spirit doesn't exist with Soryu Tenra. Kenshiro's aura cripple fighters, even those stronger than him who are completely fearless, with instinctual fear. Kenshiro once exchanged blows with Falco, and the sky cleared from horizon to horizon and the ground split from the shockwave.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses When did Jagi display that feat, also when did Kenshiro show that ability I thought only Kaioh or any Hokuto ryu ken user can use it
@@Deros_ go read the manga.
Jojo and Fist are both excellent. Don’t miss out on watching either of them.
Been waiting for this suggestion...
🤗
Still Kenshiro has an avatar too but we saw it very few times, when Kenshiro was near to die or recovering. His avatar is brutally strong.
One of my favorites just cause I’m a jojo fan, although I do think that jotaro should’ve won. One thinking death battle got wrong here is that kenshiro even if he could see star platinum wouldn’t be able to touch him at all. Non stand users can’t touch stands (except for a few specific situations). Also crushing his heart would’ve been a lot better planned
In case you were wondering, for this battle they did nerf both characters, but mainly Kenshiro
Some of kenshiro's abilities:
- atomic level regeneration, able to fully heal from being completely atomized almost instantly
- Faster than light speeds

It is entirely possible that Ken could simply copy Jotaro's stand abilities, but even if not, Ken can attack souls, life-forces, and fighting spirit directly, which means he could attack stands.
With Jotaro the biggest nerf was speed, but also how automatic Star Platinum is. Speed-wise Star Platinum, while holding back, was able to keep up with Silver Chariot wielding Anubis which would more than double Chariot's attack speed. Chariot itself is FTL, as his he performed a full swing of his sword while Hanged Man was still traveling and was visually barely moving, meaning that Chariot's swing even WITH armor was far faster than Hanged Man's movment. The problem was simply that Polnareff doesn't have the reaction speed that Chariot does and can't share senses as shown with Lovers (which also showed that Heirophant Green can't share senses with Kakyoin, maybe proving the ability is rare) and Ebony Devil. Star Platinum on the other hand can directly share his enhanced senses with Jotaro such as the fight against Sun. So SP is definitely several times faster than light, and Jotaro would definitely have that as his reaction time. He might be faster than Kenshiro, but it is hard to say.
But Ken beats him in every other category including hax. So even if SP/Jotaro is faster, it's like a fly fighting against Godzillla.
@@GokuInfintysaiyan I think, theoretically speaking, Kenshiro *could* gain Star Platinum when he defeats Jotaro through Muso Tensei's ability to connect with the souls of his allies and rivals and use their techniques.
Jotaro's a paper tiger. Kenshiro's the red storm of Jupiter.
In case of a draw, my suggestion would've been that you select each others costumes. But your solution has merit.
Ah, that’s actually a pretty good idea 😀
Another good video to watch besides the openings 1-13 is one second of every episode of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. It’s hilarious out of context.
😎👍🙂 out of context is our wheelhouse 😛
When it comes to anime in general new or old, just watch one, it doesn't matter which one it is, just watch one episode, especially when it comes to, fist of the North Star, it's one of The inspirations behind, JoJo's bizarre Adventure, but I knew that Kenshiro was going to be the winner, of this contest, I totally forgot, about this death battle..

Ken has an excellent strategy. he will confuse The F&$# out of you to get his way. I feel sorry for Bethany, when she asked him who’s turn is it to wash the dishes.
Ken “ it’s your turn honey. because it’s Tuesday, not Thursday today. And it’s 9:48 not 8:49. And it’s 2 weeks and 23 days to the next holiday, not 3 weeks and 32 days. And the last parents birthday we celebrated was my dad’s dad birthda…”

hokuto shinken is one of the most fuck-busted fighting styles ever! it can make a person tell you the truth, make them inhale until they died, cure sickness, heal blindness, raise the dead and make you fall in love with the first person you see.
Fr
Jotaro for some bizarre reason has the bodybuilder physic despite have 17 years old, this thing ends When he defeats Dio, after that his body regains a normal size
Kenshiro is from a series Of 80's, the gore and violencia Of this series where differents from now
This is a pretty equal one, a lot of the time the way death battle does stuff bothers me, but this one could go either way.
Another great video to start the day,!

I think you should check out Dio vs Alucard by death battle, it's one of my favorites
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! BEEN WANTING YOU BOTH TO WATCH THIS DEATH BATTLE….. KENSHIRO IS UNBEATABLE!!!!!
Also I am disappointed in you Ken the name of the series is called Fist of the North Star or Hokuto no Ken
You have both chosen…………. Wisely
Ken: “But now I’m more interested in fist of the north……”
Me: that one was on purpose!!!!
Anyways I highly recommend the original anime movie, however it’s been highly edited because the original version of the film was sooo graphic that it had to be censored before being released to home video, unfortunately current editions of the 86 film have missing scenes or blurred animation frames, and a completely different ending that was made because parents and toei animation did not like the original ending.
After that check out Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise it came out in 2018 and used the Yakuza gameplay to tell a condensed version of the main story of the series…
There was also a very short lived but hilarious fan dub on here called Dub of the North Star….

If you can’t tell I am I huge fan of Hokuto No Ken, so much so I bought the Prime1 Studios statue of the godly legend.. and no I don’t regret buying a $500 dollar statue that’s bigger than my PS5.
I am a die hard Jojo fan (honestly one of the greatest, if not the greatest anime of all time). That said, I can't deny the result. Because of his pressure point kill silliness the argument basically boils down to can Kenshiro get to Jotaro at least once, if so he wins and yes with everything he has it stands to reason throughout the course of a fight he'd certainly be able to tag Jojo at least once.
Yeah. Death Battle made this seem a lot closer than it actually would be, and they couldn't even stay consistent with their own argument. This should have been one of the worst mismatches ever. JoJo scaling and Fist of the North Star scaling just aren't in the same ballpark. It's like a cage match between a gray wolf and a dire wolf; they may look similar in size, but the dire wolf is more heavily built with a greater bite force. It just isn't fair.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses they usually do with the battles because after all the battles are supposed to be entertainment and not an authentic depiction of how the fight would play out. They even acknowledge this usually in their wrap ups to a degree when explaining why they picked who won in their estimate.
Though I wouldn't call this one a mismatch. Realistically Kenshiro could do nothing about Star Platinum and would lose if he couldn't get to Jotaro directly which given the time stop and platinum speed would certainly make it a challenge. In fact the actually downplayed Star Platinum as we learned in a later battle with new feats to consider Star Platinum is dramatically faster and stronger then their estimates here and would be more than capable of likely killing Kenshiro. Just at the end of the day kenshiro is capable of a lot of bonkers stuff too so you could never really make the argument he'd never be able to hit him ever and he only needs to get that one hit.
@@gorgeouszanKensiro is MFTL+. Jotaro is 50×FTL. Kenshiro can easily disintegrate Jotaro just by punching the air. Kenshiro has had his heart destroyed before, and he regenerated it in a few seconds with no stamina loss by getting angry. Kenshiro can destroy spirits. Kenshiro has a manifestation of the fighting spirit, the god of war, Indra. Kenshiro can also summon the goddess of Hokuto, who can attack and take a person's fighting aura. Jagi tanked a nuke 2.5 billion times more powerful than the one used on Hiroshima, and Kenshiro killed him like a mosquito near the beginning of the series. Kenshiro has come back from being erased from existence. Kenshiro has infinite speed feats, so time stop might not even work on him. Kenshiro can counter and replicate any technique after seeing it once. Kenshiro is untouchable in Musou Tensei. Kenshiro can just use Anryu Tenha to trap Jotaro in an inescapable pocket dimension. Kenshiro can use Soryu Tenra to force his opponent into a deathmatch in a plane of existence where the fighting spirit doesn't exist. Kenshiro can use hundreds of techniques to shred Jotaro with pressurized air waves. Kenshiro can use hundreds of techniques to make Jotaro explode without even touching him. Kenshiro can replicate and counter abilities that manipulate space time after they're used on him once, even if the powerwas completely foreign to him and he didn't know anything about it. Kenshiro's aura can completely paralyze others, even if they're srtronger than him and completely fearless, with instinctual fear. Kenshiro has perfected Musou Tensei, which makes its user completely invulnerable to all attack, unless the opponent has Musou Tensei or made their own demonic aura technique designed specifically to counter Musou Tensei. Kemshiro can fights for two weeks straight without any sustenance or rest. Kenshiro can keep fighting while he's asleep. Kenshiro can keep fighting as a spirit avatar when he's medically dead. I was trying to put it politely, but it seems that's not enough. Jotaro gets godstomped.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses Some of those things I honestly had not heard of so admittedly calling his stuff bonkers now sounds like an understatement. Makes you wonder what the writer staff was high on went doing Fist of the North Star.
Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventures and Fist of the North Star ... Oh my!
Great animation, great fights and some very good twists, but it need a couple of dozend episodes to understand the epicness, and my time is to short lately to get into this.
The only thing i don't like it has to many make fighters for my taste (Yeah i like dragonball :P But for childhood reasons) But it is definitely a right worth it.
Wondering how many episodes there are of each. Anime has so manny episodes for their series that it makes it daunting to try and start it 😅
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 It's older than me actually. Started in January 1, 1987 - present. = JoJo
over 130 Manga and 5 seasons 150+ Episodes. And it's gets good around episode 80+ in my eyes
Fist of the Northstar without OVA specials and TV Specials. 152 Episodes.
You should do DIO vs Alucard
We plan to 😅
Ah fist of the north star...one of my top 5 animes of all time. It's definitely one you should check out. It gets very brutal. Like Bethany perfectly mentioned about revenge stories...I love such. Adds the element of anticipation.
Jojos bizarre adventure I'll have to get back into watching. Used to read the manga on books.
Overall no doubt kenshiro wins this bout.
Some recommendations for deathbattle
Dante vs bayonetta
Cloud vs link (2 separate deathbattles)
Deadpool vs the mask (love it)
Sephiroth vs Vergil
So many death battles to see :)
You should react to Naruto vs ichigo and madara vs aizen death battles.
seeing a swelling skull is rather....unnerving....pain the explosion....= creepy feel
inner jojo fan wants me to be mad, but jotaro is totally the dude to expect this guy to pull out a stand at any moment and not pay too much attention to a singular press.
This fight was a ridiculous mismatch. Kenshiro's Demon Aura would kill Jotaro the instant he got within a few hundred meters of him. His Demon Aura would smother Star Platinum. Jotaro would be completely paralyzed by the instinctual terror Kenshiro induces with his presence.
My recommendation: watch the 1980s movie and then the revised recent series (which improves upon the previous television series).
11:07 it has to be Japan. They're crazy to make this kind of stuff.
This was a good reaction.
I recommend reacting to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Opening 1-9.99 at some point.
Jotaro may be tough and could potentially get some lucky wins against Kenshiro. But the biggest deciding factor is that Kenshiro only needs one touch on Jotaro and its done. That instantly gives him the highest percentage of battles won between the two
Kenshiro is hundreds of thousands of times faster than Jotaro. Kenshiro killed Jagi like a mosquito, the same Jagi who tanked a nuke 2.5 billion times more powerful than Hiroshima. This is such a mismatch that Kenshiro can just use his fighting aura to make Jotaro explode from hundreds of meters away, use his ability to destroy spirits to erase Star Platinum, or he can just blink and kill Jotaro from the shockwave.
Kenshiro is just too op
The only complaint I have with this death battle is that Jotaro 100% would've been able to dodge kenshiro striking his pressure point, this battle makes it look like Jotaro is useless without his stand when he isn't
If you thought jojo was mad, give Dio vs Alucard a watch
We plan to 🙂
Dio vs alucard now. It’s probably my favorite one.

My only problem with the death battle is that they made kenshiro able to see jotaros stand even though he can only see it if he has a stand and the weakened jotaro by saying that saying he can’t punch at light speed with stopping time
You literally just said that Death Battle made Kenshiro use of his abilities? Kenshiro is able to see and interact with fighting spirits, and Stands are described as physical manifestations of fighting spirit. They literally explain this in the video.
Kenshiro is MFTL+. He can see fighting spirits. He can destroy spirits. He killed Jagi, who tanked a nuke 2.5 billion times more powerful than the one dropped on Hiroshima, as if he was a mosquito early in the series. This DeathBattle downplayed Jotaro, but it spit on Kenshiro.

I met Jojo universe thanks to this Death Battle
No one messes with kenshiro
Wait until you 2 see *ronnie james DIO brando* vs count alucard.
Ah, yes. More brain dead Death Battles.
Both of these guys are my favorites lol I don't know which one to root for.
Also the fight itself is a toss-up because it could go either way because both of these guys can kill each other easily lol.
No. There's nothing Jotaro can do to Kenshiro. He doesn't have the attack potency or the speed to do crap against him.
Kenshiro has regenerated from being disintegrated. He's MFTL+ and planetary. Jotaro would be disintegrated instantly by Kenshiro's Demon Aura, which has a hell of a lot more reach than five meters.
@@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses toki aura you mean
@@ALI_872K that one could kill him as well. I just said the strongest aura he had.
Please do carnage vs lucy death battle next!!
Yeah but jotaro’s stand is as strong as the world (dios stand) so like I feel like this was an equal fight but if this was jotaro in future parts I would say jojo wins
