"Holy Emperor" Souther is the only master of Nanto Houou Ken (South Star Phoenix Style), the strongest style among all variations of Nanto Seiken. Thus, he is one of the strongest fighters in all of Hokuto no Ken.  Nanto Houou Ken is characterized like the other Nanto Seiken styles with sharp slicing movements designed to damage the external body, but unlike the others Nanto Houou Ken has no rigid stances or movements, save for one. When confronted with a worthy opponent, Souther unleashes his ultimate technique,　Nanto Houou Ken Ougi: Tenshou Juuji Hou (South Star Phoenix Fist Ultimate Technique: Soaring Cross Phoenix)   Because there can only be one Nanto Houou Ken master in any given time, Souther was forced to kill his mentor and beloved foster father, leaving him bitter, angry and declaring that he has rejected the concept of love forever. He constructs the Holy Cross Pyramid using child slave labor as a monument to his father. With its completion, he intends to bury his emotions forever.  "I am the Holy Emperor Souther, Emperor of the Six Sacred Fists of the South Star! No retreat! No mercy! No hesitation!"  (Source: Hokuto no Ken manga Volume 11)

Kenshiro is the heir of the legendary martial arts known as Hokuto Shinken, which can kill a man with a single blow, by striking the pressure points in the enemy's body. Hokuto Shinken can be passed only to one successor at a time. When he was chosen as the successor, he parted ways with his brothers, Toki and Raoh. The former decided to use what he knew of the art to cure people... while the latter has chosen to use his supreme strength to install peace in the world by power. 
Kenshiro is accompanied by Lynn and Bart, and the movie's story begins when an overlord starts kidnapping children to use them as slaves for building his own pyramid...

The second part of the new Hokuto no Ken pentalogy. The story of this OVA centers around Yuria. 
(Source: Wikipedia)

A deeper look at the childhood and history of Jagi, one of the four Hokuto brothers, and an important villain in the original Hokuto no Ken manga. 
Includes the one-shot: Hokuto No Ken - Ryuken Gaiden 
An alternate version explaining the choosing of Ryuuken's successor and the nuclear apocalypse in the Hokuto No Ken universe.

Rei is a ruthless man who is traveling the world in search of a certain someone... But Rei was not always ruthless an uncompassionate, it's vengeance the one who stripped Rei from his humanity, and he won't be able to become a normal human being until that vengeance is fulfilled. Right now, he can only roam the world as a furious lone wolf, a lone wolf who preys on those who oppose him.


Juuza is a total rebel who obeys and bows to absolutely no one, and with his terrible self taught fighting style, he has absolutely no one to fear. 
Juuza once gave up on his true love since he realized blood relation made a relationship impossible... But now that she is dead, Juuza has a thing or two to say to the man who was unable to protect her.

A Hokuto no Ken sidestory telling the story of one of the Hokuto brothers and the main antagonist of the parent story, Raoh.

In this very zany take on the dramatic series by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara, the end of the century… wasn't so bad, actually. A very special and brave Holy Emperor, Souther, wants to become more "involved" and to be on "friendly terms" with the noble Kenshiro & his posse. Especially Kenshiro. Due to his very outgoing nature, he also crashes the homes of his other buddies, often when they especially don't want him to show up!
 
Join Souther as he releases his feelings in heart-throbbing, mind-bending confessions, settles complex and engrossing territorial disputes with deep and intricate consequences, enjoys the simple and introspective pleasures of a quiet dinner, and climbs the top of the rough and brutal pyramid that is the idol world - with the help of his best buddies, of course! Maybe even Kenshiro will be there - who knows!
 
By the time it got its anime in 2015, Strawberry Flavor had sold over 1 million copies in Japan. The anime was composed of 2-minute long, abridged adaptations of select chapters from the first three volumes. They were placed after the main episodes of DD Fist of the North Star season 2.
 
Every volume also contains at least one gaiden (side story). These gaiden are drawn in Yukito's (the elder sister of Yukito Imouto) normal artstyle, and expand on characters who did not receive gaiden during the Hokuto Gaiden period in the late 2000's.
 
Gaiden List: 
Volume 1: Spade, Club & Diamond, Heart 
Volume 2: Souther 
Volume 3: Shuren & Huey 
Volume 4: Fudo 
Volume 5: Yuda 
Volume 6: Shin 
Volume 7: Falco & friends, Ein 
Volume 8: Ogai 
Volume 9: Devil Rebirth

Super-deformed version of Buronson, Hara Tetsuo's post-apocalyptic fighting manga. 
Note: The "DD" stands for "Design Deformation," since the characters are only "two-heads-tall."
