Weaponized Death Screams
Recommended Videos
Onomatopoeia sound effects are a crucial part of manga, especially an action-focused manga like Fist of the North Star. While wreaking havoc on enemies and destroying body parts in Lost Paradise, occasionally death screams will appear above an enemy’s head, emblazoned in bright bold letters. At times these screams will turn into physical objects that you can then pick up and use to bludgeon other enemies to death.
Seeing Kenshiro pick up an actual word as a weapon is utterly ridiculous, and it really helps seal the deal on the over-the-top anime vibe of Fist of the North Star. It’s another little detail that helps Lost Paradise really nail the tone and feeling of both its source material and the Yakuza games.
