在这部苍天之拳动画片中,苍天之拳是原哲夫连载的新作。主要的舞台是在1930年代的上海，当时的中国正是处于内忧外患的年代。故事的主角霞拳志郎和北斗神拳中的拳四郎两人的个性截然不同。相对于拳四郎的冷漠耍酷，我还是比较喜欢霞拳志郎的风趣。霞拳志郎和前田庆次是同一种类型的人。由于故事的背景是在中国，而且又有些历史人物登场，所以看起来备感亲切。
Kasumi Kenshiro, also known as Yan Wang or the King of Death, is a Tokyo professor and the 62nd successor to the deadly assassin art known as Hokuto Shinken. He leaves his teaching job and travels to Shanghai after getting word that his old Qing Bang Triad friend, Pan Guang-Lin, and his friend's sister and Kasumi's love interest, Pan Yu-Ling, are in trouble. While in Shanghai, he encounters and fights the three families of Hokuto: Hokuto Sonkaken, Hokuto Soukaken, and Hokuto Ryuukaken. He does all this while revolting against the corrupt Hong Hua Triads to restore honor and power to the Qing Bang.
喜欢《北斗之拳》的，勿看！！！！。
