DD Hokuto no Ken (DD Fist of the North Star, the "DD" stands for "Design Deformation") is a parody series based off of the original Fist of the North Star.Imagine if the great nuclear wars of 199X never happened. Imagine if instead of surviving in a wasteland teeming with bloodthirsty outlaws, Kenshiro and the others lived in a completely peaceful, working, functional modern day Japan where violence never solved anything. Imagine if Ryuken was still alive, Lin was his daughter and they ran a convenience store named Ryuryuken. Imagine if Bat and Lin were older than Ken and worked at Ryuryuken. Imagine if Jagi lived just outside without even a proper bed to sleep on. Imagine if instead of fighting for the successorship of Hokuto Shinken, Ken, Toki and Raoh were competing for the last part time worker spot in Ryuryuken. Imagine if Bat and Lin were way taller and older than the three of them. Imagine if Shin always ran about naked, Rei always had a stocking on his head and Souther taught English.Our formerly muscular hero Kenshiro is now a chibi wandering the streets of a clean, civilised, modern day Japan. He is hungry, has been fired from a previous job and is desperate for money until he gets the idea of pretending to be a cat. He is adopted by Lin, who had also happened to adopt Ken's older brothers, Raoh and Toki (Who pretended to be a dog and a rabbit respectively) who, after a happy reunion, find that their master, Ryuken, is alive and is in need of another part time worker, with Bat already having taken one spot. Since the store's short on money only one of the brothers can get the position. Cue the three brothers getting into various misadventures as they vie for the position whilst failing to understand basic societal norms.There was a previous series with the same name that started out as a series of Flash-animated shorts aired in 2010. Though it had the same premise as this current series (No nuclear apocalypse, modern day Japan,) it was more slice of life and the character plots were largely different in that Ken and Raoh already had jobs (A computer expert and construction worker respectively) while Toki was sick and had to stay at home, Ryuken owned a fast food joint and Jagi was on the run from the law.The second series ran in April 2013 and is currently available on streaming sites such as Crunchy Roll. Sentai Filmworks, who previously licensed and released Legends of the Dark King, has licensed the series for a U.S. release. It ended in June 25, 2013.The second series and a currently ongoing manga proved popular enough for a third series to be produced. Titled DD Fist of the North Star 2, it began running in October 6, 2015. It's also currently ongoing. While the character design and humor are largely the same, the setting is completely different and it ignores the events of the two previous series. | |

Incurable Cough of Death: Toki's former radiation sickness is parodied here. He almost seems to be just plain ordinarily sick with the common cold or other such harmless ailments (Episode 4 informs us that his hair has turned white from debt stress and poor living conditions) though he comically overreacts to it by coughing copious amounts of blood as well. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: All over the place! Being a parody of Fist of the North Star after all. Everything from dialogue to situations like Yuda in love with Rei or Jyuza stealing Kokuoh-go are parodied without mercy. Oh, and Raoh's sleeping posture is his "I HAVE NO REGRETS!" pose from the original series! Amazing. In episode 6, Souther's famous "Never stop! (Shikanu!) Never retreat! (Kobinu!) Never surrender! (Kaeriminu!") speech is present here, translated as "Never pull back, never flatter, never apologize!" | |

Older Than They Look | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Episode 5 informs us that Mamiya's 50 years old despite looking like she's in her early twenties. Then its played with when her skin flakes off thanks to being carried at high speeds by Yuda, resulting in her looking really old. At least Ken uses a special Hokuto Shinken technique that reverses her aging back to 25. | |

Born in the Wrong Century: Kenshiro is regularly referred to as the would be savior of humanity if only the century were more chaotic. As he is now, he's horribly unequipped for the modern world. This applies to most of the other martial artist characters to varying degrees as well. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In episode 5, Toki reckons that if Raoh used his Hokuto Shinken killing techniques to kill Jyuza and stop him taking the part time worker spot at Ryuryuken, the police would simply arrest Raoh since, you know, living in civilised modern Japan and not the nightmarish End of the Century. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Raoh in this series is very different from his original counterpart, who is an Evil Overlord who's nonetheless an Anti-Villain with standards. While he is as arrogant as ever, completing with his brothers as a part-timer in Ryuken's store and wants to possess Yuria, he nonetheless does care for Kenshiro and Toki (barring Jagi of course) and take Bash Brothers in literal terms. Speaking of Jagi, the Hokuto black sheep embodies this trope even more. Though he's still the weakest of the four brothers and largely abused and ignored for laughs, he possesses none of the malice or evil of his official counterpart. He even goes out of his way to protect Airi from stalkers and help out in the final episode's battle. | |

Locked into Strangeness: Both Toki and Rei had their hairs changed to white through different means from the original. Toki has his due to poor living conditions rather than radiation poisoning and Rei has his due to being shocked by Mamiya being engaged to a Corrupt Corporate Executive rather than dying and Toki pressed a pressure point that caused his hair turn white. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_8cb1a369 | comment |
Took a Level in Jerkass: Toki's gotten a lot more crafty and a fair bit more dickish as well. He's not above screwing his brothers over to get what he wants. Hell, in episode 5 he would even let Raoh kill Jyuza just so Raoh would get arrested for it, thus making it easier for him to get the part time position! | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: For those who didn't like how Ken let Souther die mercifully and happily in the original series, its really satisfying to see Episode 6 Part 1 end with Souther getting the shit kicked out of him by all the angry mothers he fleeced with his messed up cram school. | |

DD has Toki attempting get a job as a part-timer in Ryuken's store, and will use any means to get the job, such as having Raoh arrested for murdering Jyuza. | |

Fish out of Water | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_af696bef | comment |
Fish out of Water: Most of the humour comes from Ken, Raoh and Toki acting as they would in the post-apocalyptic End of the Century...whilst living in a more strict and orderly modern day Japan. The very first episode starts with Ken getting fired from his previous job as a builder because he used Hokuto Shinken rapid punching techniques to try to build a house only to completely destroy the starting framework. | |

Catchphrase | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catchphrase: Raoh's "I, Raoh, didn't think I had tears left!" whenever shedding comical Manly Tears as well as his referring to himself as the "(insert-anything-here) King". Also present is Jagi's "Say my name!" Obviously, that's mocked as well. He even asks Airi this very same question politely! Naturally we also get parodies of Ken's ever famous catch phrase as well. And of course, Heart in episode 1 going "HIDEBU!" when he turns into his more recognizable fat self. | |

Evil Overlord | |
| DD Fist of the North Star / int_b8dde2 | comment |
Raoh in this series is very different from his original counterpart, who is an Evil Overlord who's nonetheless an Anti-Villain with standards. While he is as arrogant as ever, completing with his brothers as a part-timer in Ryuken's store and wants to possess Yuria, he nonetheless does care for Kenshiro and Toki (barring Jagi of course) and take Bash Brothers in literal terms. | |
