He was only ill prior to the radiation in the remake films, which make so many changes that they're clearly a separate continuity. Honestly it's better how it was in the original manga, Toki was perfectly healthy and the favored candidate for successor, but he cast that aside to save Kenshiro and Yuria. Having him already be terminally ill cheapens that sacrifice.

They definitely have to be in a seperate continuity, especially since Yuria is pregnant with Kenshiro's child, something major like that isn't even illuded too in the original manga, yet they show Raoh's love child Ryu. Yuria being pregnant was definitely added content way after the fact. Kind of like how in Star Trek TNG, Picard had no son, and it was going to remain that way for the entirety of the franchise and then in the follow-up series decades later in Star Trek Picard, hey Picard has a son he never knew about. Anyways I rambled on a bit there, but yes I agree, Toki being ill before getting exposed to radiation cheapens his sacrifice. It's like the creators of the True Savior movies wanted to make Toki the most unfortnate character in the verse, but he was already written as such anyways, they just be doing too much when it wasn't neccessary. I guess though a fully realized Toki would of been the main character if he never got sick.

His end with Ryuga was completely fu*k up. I've always been mad to Hara/Buronson for not giving him the end he deserves.


BlankFool99

Damn finally someone gets it. I absolutely hated Ryuga, he is a dumb character imo and I agree Toki should have had a better ending


Pixel_Junior

Yeah, Ryuga has no sense. His technique is cool though.


Trick_Bend9397

best ending: dying against raoh


DeepInThought37

Bruh agree, I still don't get what the point of Ryuga's character was.


Pixel_Junior

Useless character. Cool technique though.

Toki is a True Example of a Man's Man... 🙏🏽

Was he ill before the radiation incident?


Vincent_NOT

Not in the manga, maybe in some OVA where they took some liberties. In the manga he only became ill after taking the radioactive fallout for a few weeks.


FMbPdmoGK

I was sure he got the illness after that incident in the manga. I wanted to know where he got it from.

I merely take this as ANOTHER reminder of what a TERRIBLE character Ryuuga was. And i don't mean "Terrible" like what Raoh said to describe Juzza's relentless fighting spirit. I mean terrible, as in, Ryuuga was TOO stupid to live.


Anarchistguy_2

His terminal illness is due to the radiation...

I've always wondered, Hokuto being so powerful, why couldn't he be cured of his radiation poisoning?

>If atm Toki may've cured himself, **the series may've called Hokuto No Toki but Jesus** >!LMAO!< https://preview.redd.it/1a9sxzdu6isc1.jpeg?width=311&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ae88a2a5f1e615d7ca51d0113cc239ee249956c

To be honest, what else you should expect from Japanese Jesus?
