* In Ten no Haoh, when Raoh and his entourage make their way into the king's palace so that Raoh can kill him and take over, they're masquerading as entertainers with Raoh as the koto player. When asked to play the koto, he responds while not having a facial expression: "I will play the koto!" *smashes the koto on a pillar* "I cannot play the koto!"
* A [[{{Mooks}} lesser character's]] {{verbal tic}} leads us to this rare moment of humor: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/fist_of_the_north_star/v20/c002/9.html

* When Kenshiro confronts Alf, Ken makes light of him by asking who he's supposed to fight against. The only other guy in the room is an useless mook, so Alf is greatly offended.

* Kenshiro's climactic battle with Boss Fang, who is using the Hua Steel Armor technique to make his skin like steel, comes to an abrupt halt as Kenshiro strikes a pressure point that returns Boss Fang's skin to normal, then bashing him with a rusty I-beam. The first two blows are positively brutal, but the comedy comes from the resulting image of a giant, muscular, fur-clad barbarian king cowering and shrieking as Kenshiro beats him repeatedly with an iron girder that otherwise seems to have all the impact of a foam pool noodle. The capper is when Boss Fang proves to be a DirtyCoward and [[WeHaveReserves throws one of his many sons at Kenshiro]] to try and hold him off. Kenshiro responds by holding up the steel beam so that the Fang Clan mook runs facefirst into it, then casually drops the beam onto the mook after he falls off it. It's an oddly cartoonish moment in an otherwise serious fight.
