Now Viewing: violence_jackTag type: Copyright バイオレンスジャック An dark post-apocalyptic action series created by Nagai_Gou. The manga debuted on July 22, 1973 on Weekly Shounen Magazine and ran until September 29, 1974, switched to Monthly Shounen Magazine during January 1977- December 1978 before ending up in Weekly Manga Gouraku for the rest of its run during August 5, 1983- March 23, 1990. The manga was followed by several one-shot stories before receiving an official sequel in Shin Violence Jack. It has been adapted into 3 anime OVA that cover one story arc each. The series is set in the Kanto region of Japan, which has been completely destroyed thanks to massive earthquake. With the collapse of civilization, comes a brutal world where the strong organize themselves into vicious gangs that prey on the weak with the cruel and sadistic Slum King being the most infamous of these newfound tyrants. In the midst of all the bloody carnage emerges a mysterious unnamed giant, armed with a jack knife. He has no memory of who he is, but he calls himself Violence Jack after his propensity for violence as well as the bloodshed that ensues when he's around and his weapon of choice. Both the strong and the weak recognize this giant's enormous power and seek to either destroy him or gain his assistance. The series follows the adventures of Violence Jack as he roams Kanto and battles against the Slum King's forces. This series is notably the darkest and most brutal out of Nagai's work. The manga and its anime adaptations were controversial for their graphic violence and sexual content with the anime OVAs often having to contend with censorship when they were exported to other countries. The series also doubles as a sort of massive crossover between Nagai's work. Many characters from his other manga appear here although they are often changed to fit in with the dark universe Violence Jack is set in.
