Baron & Junk



Baron & Junk are anime-exclusive villains in Fist of the North Star. They are leaders of rival gangs fighting for control of a town putting civilians at risk. Each of these gang controls control a different half of the city with the Snakes having a church as their hideout. The Snakes also have a well where townspeople trade their crops for a gallon of water.

Kenshiro first runs into Junk's gang who are warded off when the local boy Sela gives them an apple.

Later, Shin's top henchman, Joker calls Baron and Junk out for a special meeting. They are to team up and hunt down the Man with Seven Scars at the behest of Shin. At first, the two gang leaders disagree but Joker's tone makes them change their mind. However, it soon becomes a competition to see who can kill Ken.

Kenshiro makes short work of some of the snakes that have made their way to Sela's home. Baron then offers Ken to combine forces hoping to take down Junk.

At a wasteland, Baron brings Kenshiro to fight Junk's gang. With the gangs wearing down their numbers with each casualty, Kenshiro secretly plans to wipe both gangs out. Sensing treachery, Baron tries to send his gang against him, then uses his Nanto Fusha Zan technique, however, Baron is bested.

Kenshiro then faces off with the Snakes, blowing them apart, then fights Junk who uses Nanto Jaben Ken. Junk's whip only serves to graze Ken, and Junk is left pleading for Ken to join his gang, hoping to split the city, but the Hokuto Shenkin user refuses.

Baron and Junk then attempt one final attack, but Kenshiro uses the Hokuto Soukin Jizai Ken, to make them hug each other until they snap their spines. As Kenshiro quips they would make a lovely couple, the two gang leaders are then blown apart.
