LatestThe survivors of Kanto's Hell Earthquake built a new city and christened it Hope Town. However, this peaceful town becomes a nightmare when it is raided by the motorcycle gang, Hell's Wind. They abduct the women while the remaining townsfolk are left helpless against them. Meanwhile, a boy, Subaro, meets Jun. Jun's lover was previously murdered, and the duo help one another to fight against Hell's Wind. The battles are getting more and more difficult, but with the appearance of Violence Jack, the citizens seem to gain the upper hand against Hell's Wind. Yet...
After a devastating natural disaster, the Kanto region in Japan is now a wasteland of lawlessness, where the weak are playthings of the strong. Ruled with an iron fist by the Slum King, the people of Kanto have no hope left to them, living at the whims of raiders and bandits. In this hellish world, there is only one man with the power to stand up for the powerless, and his name alone strikes terror into evil hearts -- Violence Jack! Whether he’s saving women from sex camps, protecting the models of Zone C from those who covet their beauty, or exterminating a biker gang bent on destruction; if you oppress the weak, the only thing you can look forward to is a swift death from Jack’s knife!
Practical Effects
Hand-drawn gore that splatters with grotesque enthusiasm.
Direction
Chaotic energy that never pretends to be subtle.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Japan's 1980s OVA boom, when direct-to-video anime could be as extreme as budgets allowed with zero broadcast standards.
Based on Go Nagai's manga; Jack's design is literally just Devilman with a mullet and bigger knife, because Nagai loves recycling chaos.
