Frontier Works Inc. (Headquarters: Itabashi-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Masahide Tsuji; hereafter referred to as “Frontier Works”) is pleased to announce that “Fist of the North Star: Requiem for the Fist-Oh Army’s Weapons” (Zenon Comics/Core Mix), a spin-off of the manga “Fist of the North Star” (Core Mix), will be animated using the new animation technology “Animatica.” Television broadcast and streaming are scheduled for January 2026. ■The first work using “Animatica,” a new animation technology that brings out the appeal of comics “Fist of the North Star: Requiem for the Fist King’s Army” is the first title from “Animatica,” a new animation production label established by Frontier Works in collaboration with Doraku Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daisuke Miura), a motion comic production company. Motion comics, which add movement to comics, are gaining popularity for their immersive quality, which is different from reading comics dubbed by professional voice actors. “Animatica” makes it possible to recreate character breathing and pauses, something that was previously impossible with motion comics. ■The lovable underlings and the charm of the protagonist, Nobu, that is relevant today For fans who watched the “Fist of the North Star” comics and anime in real time, the easily defeated minions are villains, yet somehow lovable characters. In a devastated, end-of-the-century world where people can barely afford to eat, our protagonist, Nobu, is just an ordinary villager who ends up working for the Fist King Army, a group of roughnecks led by Raoh. That’s because he believed the job advertisement, which promised “live-in, three meals a day, and easy work anyone can do!” Nobu’s seemingly weak but somehow manages to get by despite being surrounded by intimidating seniors in a mistaken job situation that could happen even today is a modern-day example of how to get by in the world, and it’s definitely worth watching!
