Gisatsu (ギサツ)[1]
Gisatsu was a member of Jagi's gang who claimed to know Hokuto Shinken by imitating his leader.
After Kenshiro killed Kubaru, Gisatsu challenged him with his "expertise" of the art. Kenshiro elbows him in the face while tending to a wounded villager, before paralyzing Gisatsu and burying him up to his neck in the ground, leaving him at the mercy of the villagers.

TV SeriesEdit

While Gisatsu appeared in the anime series, he doesn't pretend to use Hokuto Shinken like he does in the manga (this role was reserved for Gaira, an anime-only underling). Gisatsu attempts to get away, but is caught by Kenshiro and buried to the neck in the ground. The villagers pummel Gisatsu, but leave him alive.

Video GamesEdit

Gisatsu appears in Hokuto No Ken for PlayStation where Kenshiro interrogates him in a cutscene, unlike in the manga Gisatsu explodes after the interrogation instead of being left for the villagers. Additionally, Gisatsu's appearance is used by several generic members of Jagi's gang. Gisatsu and his lookalikes attack with a imitation of Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken, unlike the manga, this attack can deal a fair bit of damage.
The name 'Gisatsu' was given to him Hokuto no Ken Online where he appeared as an enemy.
