If you liked Hokuto no Ken add

...then you might like Riki-Oh add

An invincible, Chinese kenpo using protagonist wanders a post-apocalyptic world filled with scum in need of gruesome punishment. Saving the weak isn't really his goal, but he always ends up doing it anyway. The weak end up dying a moment later anyway, and then the violence ramps up, if that's even possible. His brother is an important character and plot element. He has a catchphrase he utters before sending named villains bursting into pieces. They're usually humanized a moment later, when through their dying breath they admit their admiration for him or reveal how they too have been victimized, usually by the next named villain to spectacularly die. Riki-Oh is a (blood and guts) loving tribute to Hokuto no ken. It began serialization when Hokuto ended, and its organ-punching, bone-cracking, eye-popping and head-squishing will entertain you if you crave more splatter.

The main characters are rather similar. Both Brandon and Ichise end up physically modified, but that is less important than their ambivalent, confused outlook on life. Both join an organization they initially dislike and then try to establish their identity in relation to it, with nearly identical results. The tone/feeling of both series is quite similar as well. Bonus similarity: Both feature instrumental intro music.
