Heart



Heart is a villain in Fist of the North Star. He loyally serves Shin as the Destroyer of Martial Arts.

He first watches Shin execute two of his henchmen for being cowards along with Diamond and Club.

Later, Heart attends a bar somewhere in Southern Cross, stopping his goons from harassing the barkeeper. As he tells the barman to get him a drink, he spots that broken glass just cut his hand. Heart then melts down over his injury, bashing the barman's face and running around bar in a panic. The goons try to knock him out with clubs, but they get stuck inside Heart, who bursts them, deflecting them back. After killing the punks, he reminds them of his abilities, then leaves calmly.

Heart then appears before Kenshiro in Shin's chambers feeling insulted over being called a pig. Kenshiro attempts to punch the morbidly obese man, but finds his fist stuck. Heart then points out no matter how hard he tries, he will always beat Kenshiro and reminds him only Nanto Seiken could take him down.

After Kenshiro recovers, Shin throws a knife at Heart's cheek, sending him on a rampage yet again. This time however, Kenshiro kicks at Heart's layer, making an opening for him to finish with the Hokuto Juha Zan. Seconds later, Heart bursts open and dies.

In the anime, whilst visiting a bar, Heart goes on his blood-crazed rampage first by crushing the barkeep's skull then finishes by crushing two of Shin's henchmen into a wall.

Later, Heart leads a group of soldiers to where Kenshiro had just rescued a group of 30 villagers. He then orders his men to kill them all, but fails to murder Lin and Bat. After killing the henchmen in a rage, Kenshiro fights Heart and is at his usual disadvantage. Joker then arrives and throws a card at Heart's cheek, melting him down at the sight of his blood. Kenshiro then finishes him with the Hokuto Juha Zan as usual, avenging the villagers.

In the movie, Heart instead serves Jagi guarding his home. Kenshiro then defeats and kills him.

In Heart of Meet, he was once a sick teenager Alfred who was abducted from his home for ransom. When his girlfriend Sarah tried to save him, she was cut open, splattering Alfred with blood, and sending him in a blood-crazed frenzy. The teenage Shin then rescues Alfred.

Alfred then swears loyalty to Shin and becomes Heart.
