2 [[caption-width-right:350:[[BigWhat Nani?!]] ''CUE LOUD SCREECHING SOUND'' "'''HIDEBU!'''" '''EXPLOSION''']]
3* Hokuto Hyakuretsu-ken/“AH-TATATATATA! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kenshiro's cries as he performs his signature Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken. If any film, anime or series features at one moment somebody pulling out some similar attack, expect to find videos slapping this over the actual soundtrack within hours.[[/labelnote]]
4* As the page image says:
5** "Omae wa mou shindeiru."/[[YouAreAlreadyDead "You're already dead."]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Action begins, then a pause. "Omae wo mo shinderu" is said, bad guy says "NANI?!" (It has to be spelled in Japanese, instead of [[BigWhat "WHAT!?"]]) and goes boom, the end.[[/labelnote]]
6*** "Omae wa sude ni shindeiru."/"There's no use fighting now. You're already dead." [[labelnote:Explanation]]A variation of Kenshiro's [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]] that was said once in ''New Fist of the North Star''.[[/labelnote]]
7*** "It's too late for you. You're already dead." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The English version of Kenshiro's catchphrase in ''[[VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarLostParadise Lost Paradise]]''.[[/labelnote]]
8*** "Ni yi jing si le." [[labelnote:Explanation]] The Chinese version of Kenshiro's catchphrase, said by the previous Kenshiro (Yan Wang) in ''Manga/FistOfTheBlueSky''.[[/labelnote]]
9*** "Omae wa mou yotteiru."/"You are already drunk." [[labelnote:Explanation]]Another variant of Kenshiro's catchphrase, which is also the name of a drink from the bartender minigame in ''Lost Paradise''.[[/labelnote]]
10*** "You are already porn." [[labelnote:Explanation]] An edit of the iconic shot currently serving as the page image, used to remind others of [[Rule34 what will inevitably happen (or already has happened) when you introduce a brand-new character]].[[/labelnote]]
11*** "Roses are red\
12Violets are blue\
13Omae wa mou\
14Shinderu" [[labelnote:Explanation]] A popular meme on Website/YouTube, commonly found in the comments of a video about Hokuto.[[/labelnote]]
15** The other use of '''[[BigWhat NANI?]]''': Screamed by the bad guys before exploding.
16** And in a meta {{crossover}} example, leaving an internet comment of "NANI?!" when seeing sexy, disturbing or otherwise shocking images of one [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Ms.]] [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch Pelekai]].
17** [Action begins and then action stops with ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' exclamation sound effect] Nani?! [Conclusion appears] Omae wo mo, shinderu [high pitched electrical sound from a Hokuto technique and then conclusion plays out]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] A popular Website/YouTube meme video format.[[/labelnote]]
18* '''''[[YourHeadASplode HIDEBU!!!]]''''' [[labelnote:Explanation]]"Hidebu" is meant to be an {{Angrish}} version of "ittai desu" ("it hurts!"). To paraphrase the creator, since the villains are in the process of exploding, the vocal sounds are shifted. It then evolved into this beloved nonsense term memed all over Japan, like in ''VideoGame/TimeGal'' or ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', or ''VideoGame/LaMulana'', for example.[[/labelnote]]
19* Ken's {{Kiai}}. "ATATATATATATATATA! OWATTA!"
20** It's even funnier when he actually uses "Owatta (which translates as I'm finished!)" as his defeat line in his cameo appearance in ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', which he is beaten by Kotatsu-Neko. (Originally, it was meant to be a variation of the FunnyBruceLeeNoises, as in "WHOOOO-WATTAAA!!", but it can be turned into a Japanese pun like that)
21* A clip where Hyui dispatches a {{Mook}} while yelling '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHbgoLFvpmE EEEEAAAAUUUUUAAAAHHHH]]''' has been remixed and such several times.
22* [[https://img.fireden.net/a/image/1453/80/1453801279520.jpg The face a mook makes]] in one scene has become the template for the SHOOP DA WHOOP meme.
23* The scene with Kenshiro destroying the tank happens to be extremely popular, and is often used to describe the series in a nutshell, despite it coming from an filler episode.
24* Obutsu wa Shoudoku Da![[labelnote:Explanation]]"Purge the filth!" A phrase from one of Souther's flamethrower wielding soldiers as he uses the flamethrower to force the conquered subjects to grovel before Souther or be [[KillItWithFire burned alive]].[[/labelnote]] [[http://riceballman.fc2web.com/AA-Illust/Data/ObutuHaSyoudokuda-.html Souther's flamethrower-wielding mook]] and the line he spouts has been the subject of many parodies, usually in relation to "filth" being cleansed ranging from garbage to people. It also a RunningGag where flame weapons are available in the game for Japanese players to say the phrase.
25* Jackal's "Nanto Bakusatsu Ken" style, Ken's skeptical response about "calling throwing dynamite around a martial art", and Jackal's response ("Hey, as long as it works") have been the subject of a number of edits or faceswaps in regards to characters who use explosives.
26** Which has created the snowclone "You call X a Martial art?" "Hey, as long as it works."
27* YOU WA SHOCK![[labelnote:Explanation]]The famous {{Engrish}} opening lyrics of ''Ai wo Torimodose''. It is an ear worm.[[/labelnote]]
28** YOU'RE A SHARK![[labelnote:Explanation]]A popular mondegreen of the aforementioned lyrics.[[/labelnote]]
29* Fans joked that listening to ''Ai wo Torimodose'' would turn anyone into a manly person, which includes animals like a kitten into a tiger, or even inanimate objects like a lighter into a powerful flame thrower.
30** ''MANLY''. [[labelnote:Explanation]] An extension of the above meme, fans also joked that anything Kenshiro has touched or used is manly. Example, after one commercial used Fist of the North Star to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h1upuSrij4 advertise eyedrops]], fans started jokingly calling the eyedrops ''MANLY EYEDROPS'' (all caps).[[/labelnote]]
31* [[http://i.imgur.com/rqwvLy5.gif Kenshiro Hiding in a Haystack]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]refers to a memorable scene from Episode 92 of the anime series in which Kenshiro hides inside a cart full of hay in order to cross a bridge rigged with explosives without detection. Due to its overly dramatic tone, it's acknowledged by many as unintentionally funny.[[/labelnote]]
32* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPR2_eliPZU DVD COLLECTION]][[labelnote:Explanation]]Memetic song mocking a DVD collection ad for the series, with obligatory ''Touhou'' music mashup in the background.[[/labelnote]]
33* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSQaGFpJkdU Rei's introduction]] is often parodied with him disguising himself as a different meme video before revealing himself and asking the viewer for info on the man with the seven scars.
34* "Say your goodbyes, lardass, 'cause you're already [=deadAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Kenshiro's PreMortemOneLiner to Mr. Heart before he kills him in the English dub of the film. Notable for Ken's VA seguing from the word dead immediately into a {{kiai}}. That and Kenshiro calling Heart a "lardass."[[/labelnote]]
35* My horse is amazing![[labelnote:Explanation]]Raoh's horse, Kokuoh, is just as badass as he is, which naturally draws comparisons to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCeejZQb1ko the Weebl song.]][[/labelnote]]
36* ▒▓█▇▅▂∩(・ω・)∩▂▅▇█▓▒ [[labelnote:Explanation]]An emoji representing Toki's OneHitKO from ''VideoGame/FistOfTheNorthStarTwinBlueStarsOfJudgment.'' If Toki is on stream, expect to see the chat spam this emoji. [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome Which will be often.]][[/labelnote]]
