DD Hokuto no Ken (ＤＤ北斗之拳) is a parody of Hokuto no Ken featuring Design Deformation versions of the characters. The premise takes place in an alternate universe more like our own in which the nuclear war of 199X didn't happen and the characters are forced to take menial jobs. In 2008, it ran intermittently in Comic Bunch, created by black-box. From January to April 2011, a Flash animation adaptation aired on Kansai TV. Shigeru Chiba reprised his narrator role as "Muscle Chiba".
