Brtual martial arts, Limbs flying, Hapless secondary characters never having a happy ending, Invincible super badass for a protagonist. These are just a few things that Riki-oh and FoNS share. Although I preferred Riki's art style more both were amazing series.

Almost the same graphics and a similar plot.

These stories share the same author and includes a recurring religious theme, violent heroes and a prison setting. In my opinion, Dokuro's story isn't as impressive as Riki-Oh but it's still worth a read.

Both series begin with prison arcs where our main character battles inmates in very violent fashion. Afterwards, Riki-Oh and Baki continue to fight outrageous enemies and have a final showdown with their father.

Heavy religious themes, questionable and weird 2nd half a main character that goes through a great deal of loss and self discovery, weird fighting styles and bizarre villains in a dystopic setting that and many other things make Black Angels similar to Riki-Oh, as a matter of fact, the artist for Riki-Oh was an assistant to Shinji Harimatsu and worked on Black Angels.

Both series begin with our main character being in prison, fighting various overpowered inmates until they make a prison break. Afterwards, both mangas feature a hunt for the series villain & climatic battles with very similar endings that emphasizes tragedy. Riki-Oh is inspired by Fist Of The North Star, displaying mutant like enemies, cyborgs, violent fights & supernatural powers. Stone Ocean is feminine with a team of characters but holds the same brutality & insanity as Riki-Oh.

If you can't get enough of muscle men beating the living daylight out of people while displaying insane strength feats along the road littered with brutalized bodies, look no further.

Both are full of blood, guts, and action. The main character is similar to guts in how he just rips apart anything in his way WITH HIS BARE HANDS. Although its set in the real world , what he does to baddies is just AWESOMELY GRUESOME. Art is similar to *Fist of the North Star* and *Jojo's Bizarre Adventure* (also recommended if you like the aforementioned series)

Over-powered badass out for revenge, fighting evil people and helping the weak. Similar feeling and art in both stories.

Aside from the manly protagonists bearing resemblance to Kenshiro, both Blue Sky & Riki-Oh have a religious undertone dealing with the segregation of the Jewish community along some aspects of Buddhism and other beliefs. Riki-Oh's story is a mix of revenge and repentance with certain supernatural events. Fist of The Blue Sky is set in a realistic setting with Kasumi Kenshiro defending his family by using the assassination fist of "Hokuto Shinken".
