-Both protagonists Kenshiro and Tsurugi Momotaro look almost the same
-Manliness
-Similar art and character design in both anime adaptations
-Both have redhead short goofs who add the comedy into the mood
Comically muscular men fight each other with “2000-year-old” martial arts with a strong emphasis on honour, camaraderie, and masculine bonds. The fights are made to be as dramatic and manly as possible, with lots of stare-downs and bulging muscles. Otokojuku is more comedic and has self-aware gags regarding the excessive manliness, while Hokuto no Ken takes a more serious approach.
GAR anime made in the 80s mainly focusing on exaggerated manliness. They give off a similar vibe and are definitely fun and action-packed. One gives a post-apocalyptic type of manliness, the other a delinquent school type of manliness.
Seriously, expect a few more chest hairs to grow on you just from watching either of these.
